It's also the best way to turn the commentary into a drinking game. Shelve the bingo and get totally leathered instead!

Anyone up for "Awkward Silence w/ Guest Announcer"? "Massive Interviewer Hat" ??? Need something to do with absurd sightings on course or in the finish corral/background. Carlson reads the forums & will cheat the game if we toss too many phrases. Wouldn't put it past him to throw every single catch phrase at the very first run. 🤣

How about "Camera CHASES Flat Tire" in the finish corral? @Red Number 3 So forced to read "Insanely Long Team Name" work?

Legendary song, many of us probably discovered it in the Post Office segment of "Strength in Numbers" 🤟

He's just there so he don't get fined

I'm going to pick "crucially" so I can be drunk before the junior women finish.

I hear they're bringing in Leo Messi to comment in Val Di Sole. Next time the drinking game will be any time Ric says "If anyone can do it it's xxxx".

Agreed. Would be ok for Ken for a rider or two but kicking the only person who’s been liked on the broadcast for someone who has very little insight on the race is a terrible call.

Got some reactions following todays Q2 session here.

I think it speaks to just how complex the tracks across the world are & how truly diverse the skill set of World Cup racers really is. One week you are 59th in qualifying because the track, distance, sprints, elevation, terrain, soil type don't sync up to the exact combination of skills & health & bike a particular rider has. Next week, you rip 6 seconds out of the entire field like Hemstreet between a group of splits. The diversity & technicality of downhill is unmatched. It's not even a randomness. 60-80 guys and no such thing as the same...

Cry harder Reece? 😅

i mentioned in the loudenvielle thread, but no lawlor raw or pit bits vids fromt Loudenvielle, Lenzerheide, Andorra or Les Gets. we have 6 US national rounds this year that we decided to put budget into instead. our heart is with domestic racing and helping it grow. with 11 WC rounds (including world champs), we had to make budget choices and this year we had to pay 3k euro to WBD so lawlor could film (this was after our budget/race decisions were made, however). they've always let us in, but that finally ended this year. i don't blame them, it's...

yeehhh but thats a production issue, that could be fixed for most of the event. i dont think re-adding protection is the solution. honestly they will still mess up broadcasting runs regardless. i dont mind how they wanna run stuff live. what i hate is they don't seem to take their entire allotment of event footage and create EXTENSIVE post shows. like ur not quite losing customers by posting old footage. post highlights/recaps after the race. THEN during the off season, drop ENTIRE event productions on youtube to generate hype... every run, as much footage as possible. also the raw...
