Bernard Kerr on testing Red Bull Hardline, bike setup secrets, season recap, and more

[@woweeoi11]

BK always rooting for ya brother

[@tbc_mtb]

Awesome chat. Bernie is such a top bloke man, what an ambassador for the sport. All his work and everything, big respect. I really hope we see him on the top step soon in a WC, the guy has earned and deserves it. Champion BK.

[@Ganiscol]

If BK was to find the time for a 5 minute race recap after each event in a similar fashion like in this amazing podcast, I'd be all over it like a honey bear over sweet nectar! 😊 It's so interesting to hear it straight from the man himself! But maybe I'm just alone with that in the day and age of short attention span audience? I mean, even if it comes a day or three later in a separate video. That's the only thing I'm missing from his LSD, he's always very brief about it at the end of the race day video, understandably for many reasons. Hence why a separate clip with some distance to the race, when everything has settled down, would make sense in my mind. Anyway, excited to hear whats coming next, cant wait to see the LSDs from Whistler (hopefully), the last two world cups, world champs and US Open! 🤠

[@TheRideCompanion]

Agree, that’d be RAD!!

[@customtobi576]

„BKs Ride Companion Race Recap“. Would be awesome! Great Idea!

[@jusfc]

First half hour especially was gold lads. Didn't realise Davi was so funny! Makes me smile when you guys relax and we get to see behind the curtain of your best behaviour internet friendly personalities and what you're like in reality. Funny, deep, interesting and sarcastic as fuck. Exactly how you'd want your bike based interviewer types to be. Great show lads, keep 'er sideways. ✌️

[@JermB1970]

Came to see you two, but I guess I'll stick around for BK. j/k Keep up the great work guys!

Big thanks!

[@willahumma]

Love this episode and love Bernard. He so deserves a W. He has the talent, the experience and the right attitude. All he needs now is a bit of luck and for things to align on the day. Side note - Olly, have you done any racing? I ask because I’ve seen you ride and you’re rapid! Your technique is insane. I’m new to the sport so I don’t know the history.

[@bassjunkie67]

The best riding podcast by a long way if you ask me. keep it up

Thanks.. we shall keep trying

[@lukemtb6800]

Hardline is the only event I have watched this year. I’ve followed downhill since the early 2000’s and have not watched a single World Cup since 2022. I can’t imagine the World Cup is doing great viewing numbers

[@TheRideCompanion]

Out of interest what’s your reasoning for not tuning in?

[@lukemtb6800]

@@TheRideCompanion I’m all up for paying to watch but the coverage is poor, the commentators don’t have the same hype as rob warner, I like the idea of qualifying, semis and finals but we should be seeing more of the runs

[@portershredz]

Also, BK, will you have any BK sport gear in MSA? We live in Maine and we're making the trek to Canada to spectate the race!

I can no longer follow or support you....Olie laughing that a father, husband, grandfather was shot is so sad. Imagine watching your father speak and get shot...I dont care about the political view of others. Some people like to dunk cookies in milk and others do not....As a survivor of abuse, as an autistic male to laugh at something like that no matter who it is. I wish you all the best and your families as well

[@nigelhorwood3583]

They literally then went on to say how bad it was.... maybe your autism means you took the laugh too literally... or if not British just didn't get it. Their words clearly said it was not funny and a bad thing 😮😊
