Cody is a better rider than Kyra for sure, but Kyra has the best attitude and Cody's attitude is trash

[@shemshem9998]

Honestly, I get the 10psi bit, that is the only excuse I actualy agree with, it's a machanical, and now the front tire is going to be drifting while going up lips and you can't hit corners as hard because the risk it might pop. I found the excuses for the long jump the worste, I understand, you are scared to ride, but someone who is scared to ride should not go pro when the person next to him is not.

[@gesundheitstips2197]

Bradley and Laura have shown that the competition is not over yet. They both show higher higher commitment in corners and scrubbing fast jumps than Emmett and Flo at the same time being in touch with the fitness. In my experience its easier to step up a bit in fitness than getting faster in corners at least if you are not a complete beginner and not at the top of your potential fitness already.

[@shemshem9998]

I actualy think the opposite fortbhe fitness vs skills thing. Especially once you are already a experienced rider. You can improve and learn a new skill in a day, focus on the one skill for a week and you will large improblvements, especially with a coach like they will have. But if you want to improve fitness you will have to train for at least 6 months to be at the higher levels of fitness when it comes to climbing. Give me a MTB coach and I can improve my cornering in a day, or even just a faster rider to follow. Now five my a gym coach and its still going to take half a year.

[@FireLysm]

This so much, I would love to see Tori on all challenges. Last season Addison is a clear winner for me! But that dude went out early. I think eliminations are not fun, why? Because it's a punish system instead of reward system! Make challenges rewarding, have them do fun stuff, give them partial sponsors, give them something that they will have drive about and us viewers will always be more excited about what's the reward and who's gonna get it!

You can also score downwards. If you have 0 points you go home. Cody lost a lot of challenges and would also be the one who has to leave early.

Guilty pleasure this for sure... Think the Cody elim shows a bigger flaw in this show tho. Elite sport these days is not just skill and talent and social media sellability... It's a very mental thing because of those things and the two bits missing in all of this for me is being taught something as you'd normally get from an "academy" (directly and not passively) and secondly, a sports psychologist on the show to work with the riders given so many elite athletes utilise them as a resource nowadays....
