Figure this is necessary...

Unfortunately it sounds like Straight was Heli lifted out of practice. Hope it was just a precaution and wish him the best.

This is happening tomorrow, right Oct 21?

I can understand that but I personally have not soured on it, I've been to a few and it really is amazing to see. What I would love to see is a mini series of these 'type' events in varying types of terrain, that would be super cool. How about these bmx ahem slopestyle events turn back into real mountain bike events?

Yep its geo restricted bullshit. I bought ESPN+ for tomorrow because I am having some friends over but will cancel immediately. Don't mind the $10.

That's what the pinkbike comments are saying. I did my t11 and t10 in 2 sep incidents and only get sore now and then. I wish him the best, such a drag.

So does that mean he won't be racing then, or will he be good after some Redbull® ?

Well today is the big day, ribs went on the smoker at 7am for the small viewing gathering later.

depending on twitch nation today

fuck espn. total fucking money grab.

Red Bull: "we just lost broadcast rights to UCI racing, we need to bulk up our MTB coverage"

Also Red Bull: "Let's put the live broadcast of one of our most popular events behind a paywall in the country that's hosting it"

I think it's fantastic that I can't watch an event occurring within driving distance from me. Not without subscribing to a thing that has literally no other appeal to me whatsoever.

Remember when they said streaming would revolutionize access? Remember when they said only watch what you want?

That existed for about 5-8 years really well.

Now god bless the pirates.

Its like MMA bloodsport PPV.

or whatever it is people view on ESPN

Soon, AI will be running every “game”.

 

[kidwoo]

yeah but 10-15 years ago you could pay for a single event

 

[Gary]

I always see Andreu as the Maradona of Freeride.

Is that James Brown's pic is on the top of his helmet?

[EDIT] Hahaha... no

Need better specs

What was Dylan going for on that flat drop?

SELL OUT!

I couldn't figure it out either. Bunny hop into a manual to ??????

 

[Gary]

53?

How the fuck does scoring even work here?

Yeah. I was expecting some sort of spin/fakie knowing his roots then he throws like a bunny hop to rear wheel trials hop looking thing.

 

[Gary]

"Tom VanSeenVirgin" ?

 

[Gary]

So an arguably less difficult line than Dylan's with just a shit table, shit whip and one half decent table = 63.66

erm... What?

Seems like they're putting a pretty high priority on doing the run cleanly. Stark definitely did more, but he also made more mistakes.

Not saying I necessarily like that, but it makes some sense.

 

[HAB]

Great run from Rheeder, if that's not good for first (so far) then I'll get mad.

 

[Gary]

someone should just pull the power and board up that portacabin with the judges inside .

doing absolutely fuck all cleanly isn't ever better than pulling off a difficult move but blowing a foot off

 

[kidwoo]

fuck over the first 10 guys then give kyle strait a 90 for a relatively easy trick he's done for 20 years.

without kyle, I think it just goes to the best slopestyle tricks down the easiest line

 

[slimshady]

What's with Andreu getting robbed year after year?

EDIT: As Woo says, going old school takes points from your score.

It's funny because it's true though.
