what no one can make out on the videos (or pics) is just how deep the moon dust at VDS is. You think "ok, I'm going to put my front wheel there on that smooth bit" only to find out it's a 12" deep hole filled with dust and a death rock or two. This track is absolute carnage and chaos. And it's only getting worse as the riders come down. WORLD CHAMPS BABY!!!

Is there a trick that anyone has to get Vital videos to play on a Chrome device?

I'm on a Chromebox, similar to a Chromebook. Not sure whats up, but only Vital vids don't load. All I see is the opening animated camera thing. Youtube videos on Vital work..

I had the same thing yesterday. Couldn't get the vids to play on my chromebook or on chrome on my PC. No idea what the issue was. I tried running in incognito mode to make sure it wasn't an extension screwing it, but no dice. The ad just never played. I restarted my router and computers and it fixed it - no idea why...

Can you open the "devtools" on chrome? View -> Developer -> Developer Tools
You could poke around there and try find the direct link to the video. It appears like the video link is printed to the console.

Brooke's looking fast, but Danny's looking next level just skimming across the rocks!
