Danny said he was headed to Whistler for two weeks of relaxation. So I guess no Hardline for him? I seem to remember he's done it in the past...

yea i heard him say that too, i'm guessing he's taking advantage of being in north america and heading over to whistler

he seems to like the Camper-life. I wonder if he's going to drive it?! I assume there'd be some pretty epic riding between SS and Whizzgnar.

Warner turned up at the US Open, I don't think with RB either. Eddie Masters is at Hardline single-handedly doing promotional stuff for RB.

warner is probably lost somewhere in the mountains of WVA after getting too drunk.

 

[slyfink]

I'm just projecting my fantasy road trip onto him! Drive down the eastern sea-board to Pisgah. Then maybe Bentonville. Then across to Tejas, New Mex, Arizona, Cali, Oregon, Washington. That would be an awesome trip.

I loved how his first thought after winning a World Cup is to ride some more purely for pleasure.

Qualis (if of interest)

watched this morning. chainless hux were impressive. as were backflips.will watch finals tomorrow. warner and rach were kind of awkward...

I thought Rachel did a decent job given she's got (as far as I know) no experience with commentating. And I'm not a big Rachel fan. My guess is RedBull will have a female commentator soon because PC. At least Rachel is a no holds barred bad ass who knows her shit.

He‘s doing that since a few seasons iirc. Must be nice.

Who else thinks Gee’s slip on the deck right before the start messed up his run?

After watching Hardline, now we know why Snowshoe had those first couple features.

It’s called Hardline, not Hardlines!

So, no

Lord Bummer and his bro not liking being on BK's LSD? Seemed grumpy. Bah, I'll still root for them.

In fairness, I don't like social media for a variety of reasons, but one of them is that I think it makes people behave pretty stupidly and obnoxiously, and somebody walking up to me and shoving a camera in my face every single interaction they have with me, all so that they can profit off of that would make me be quite a bit more of a dick than they were.

I like BK's riding right now, and hopefully he can pick up some better sponsors that pay him enough that he doesn't have to do this bullshit anymore, because it's pretty damn annoying.

Who?

Lord Bummer is considered to be the leading expert in all things related to just kinda being a bummer.

Gee gonna need some Vaseline after this...

rad event, though the parent in me (or is it just being old & cognizant of mortality) is just a bit concerned for the wellbeing of the riders. some significantly consequential lines. surprised well beaten vets like gee & brook are in there. don't they know better by now? *wags finger*. also - though she's a ripper - i'd be surprised if jess completes a lap. good to see her there giving it a go, regardless.
