[@andrew8957]

Chin up Bernie, you still nailed it. Let’s smash that WC this year!

[@robertocalvo934]

Ronan's run was too clean, nothing one can do but applaud. We'll get it at the WC and we do it under the rain, as it should. Chin up my friend, we are getting closer to the top of the mountain

[@fredbaldwin3274]

True ICON of the sport! Helping everyone and especially working with the ladies ticking off the big features! You are an ABSOLUTE Legend Bernie!

[@topspot4834]

I love how Bernard is like the big brother out there now. And he's a good man for taking the ladies under his wing.

[@stevelongton2992]

Got nothing to be unhappy about, you carry them all week and then finish second, great achievement in a beautiful part of the world. Take some time to smell the roses.

[@nomadcarpenter8549]

I think its healthy to allow yourself to feel disappointed and unhappy with a result. Part of emotional maturity is allowing yourself to feel those feelings and move on rather than repressing them.

[@stevelongton2992]

@@nomadcarpenter8549 Yes, I totally agree with you, however, Hardline has really taken its toll on BK and he needs to remain focused. Those that win, focus on winning, those that come second focus on the winner.

[@crt269]

Congratulations regardless mate, what you personally do for Red Bull Hardline is second to none. The support you give to the other competitors is amazing and in my opinion so professional. This year is going to be a great year for you.

[@keepingourpubliclandsopen1671]

DONT BE BUMMED WITH A 2nd. You are one of the most beloved racers in the world! Being 5th or 6th in the world is an amazing accomplishment! We are all so proud of you! As I was watching the podiums, i could tell you were bummed. CHIN UP, move forward!

[@jokermtb]

getting 2nd feels so much worse when you're soooooooo close to first... Has to be so frustrating!

[@SecretSpots]

The fact that you can be bummed with a 2nd place at one of the most difficult MTB races in existence just shows the level of standard you are at and expect! That's outstanding. We're all super proud of you! Thanks for taking us along for the ride!.🤙

[@charlespicard4038]

Making us wait at the start gate with you was a good bit of cinema. Cheers.

[@jennifergallant543]

Your the Heart of this sport and inspire so many ppl to get on their bikes and ride chin up brother!!!

[@PreferredAxe]

The fact that you put your own shit to the side at the end there and celebrated your mate's victory with him was awesome. True class. Well done on 2nd mate.

[@frankharradence732]

Thanks Bernard for a great weeks filming; made for amazing exciting viewing, loved the way you interacted with fellow racers fans and the media. Just a gnats whisker from winning, so wanted you to win, feel gutted for you, but hey still a brilliant result and your still the Hardline fans winner...roll on the WC season, Scotland is calling.

[@MikeOnaBike]

You’re the spirit of this competition. Every time you show up everyone wins!

[@PhillipAllen-w1s]

Have been watching all of your build up podcast to this event, also all of your events over the last year in between and have become so emotionally involved that i was as you are so gutted with the result, but you can be so proud of yourself to do that after everything you do behind the scenes is remarkable and its so nice to see everything coming together for in every aspect of your life, keep it up with you all the way🤘

[@gab4719]

Legendary effort & brought a smile to all us Tasmanians....cheers for the good times 🍻

[@marlenechapman6660]

2nd is a great achievement as.much as I wanted you to win Ronan was faster this time.Love watching you all week and the bravery of you,Matt and others the fact the wind and rain hailed off at end was great.Warner said when you were coming down your age was 34 not 33 .Chin up look forward to you doing great rest of year.😊

[@thehiddenfortress392]

If ever there was a lesson for the uci , in how to build up to a race . Last week was like the perfect case study. Don't know how they can get it so wrong . Lsd gas to flat and edbull are the perfect mix . Your pov combined with eds actually v good camera work get everyone gagging for race day better than any broadcast TV sport. Thank you . Even got my mum watching once I told her the mach connection. You deserve all that comes to you .

[@JRCOZY]

BK your POV content is better than watching the actual event on Red Bull TV! Chin up legend, you smashed the event

[@Coolcmsc]

TBH, you and Ronan were amazing. You carried the whole field for a week and made sure the course was safe. And Ronan didn’t have a bike. Between you, you took the process to levels none of the rest can match.🎉

[@kaaruba]

#stillachamp for making every track feature safe for your fellow racers brotha.

[@Limestream73]

Just love these raw videos with long sections of uncut video.

[@oldmanstumpie1061]

Thanks for all the brilliant vids during the week. So much effort goes into it. Amazing you're still focused on it even after being bummed at second. Go hard.

[@olitaylor9482]

That on board race run is mesmerising. Stunning as always BK

[@TonyStark-ik9em]

It's funny, i was watching this channel the whole week leading to the event and it got me thoroughly hyped up on it. Boi what a letdown the official "broadcast" was - just the most basic tech, the only sensor metrics they showed for about 1.5sec. was one speed trap, drone footage looked like 240p - there was NO sense of how gnarly, crazy and dangerous the course was, they couldn't be bothered with bringing enough gear so there was this one place where we had to watch the empty jungle for 5sec. ... enough ranting, this video gives good closure on the event, thank you very much for putting in the effort of uploading all the time and bringing the sport closer to people interested. A bit sad for Bernard he couldn't grab the win, not much he could have done though, the harsh lighting on raceday didn't help and Ronan was just flying.

[@dreadiedude]

Really appreciate all the footage - leaving in the suspense before the race run, getting the actual race run in, and all the stuff at the bottom! I can't imagine how difficult it is to sit at the top there waiting to go, especially after a big crash just in front of you a few runs before.

[@graethom]

Bernard, thank you for sharing so much of yourself. The rides were incredible. I almost cannot comprehend how you maintain control at that speed on those slippery trails. The level of the competition is so incredibly high. But all through this competition you show yourself as one of the most amazing promoters, encouragers, competitors, and contributors to the excitement and success of downhill. Few achieve this level in any field! Nga Mihi Nui mate... thank you!

[@Bello958]

Watched you all week your a legend BK get that head up bro u should be proud of yourself 👊🏻

[@ericsharp5079]

Gutted for you! Nothing to be disappointed about brotha! You put down a heater! So did Ronan! second place and no injuries at Hardline!! Nothing to be ashamed about!

[@Muziqh]

Unlucky this year fella☹️ still did absolutely wicked!🤘🏽

[@JohnCDF]

Thank you for all you bring to the sport, being a true gent in the mountain bike world and the ultimate competitor. Agree with all the positivity posted here. Onwards and upwards!

[@ashleytombs]

As I predicted your boy was on the podium with a great run but having 4 Red Bulls before his run Ronan lift up to Red Bulls slogan it really does give you wings he was absolutely Flying in more ways than one unbelievable run can’t believe he’s only 21 so fast so smooth such a talent And I hope Jackson isn’t too banged up that was a gnarly one Plus I cannot wait for next weekend Red Bull cerro Abajo kicks off with Valparaiso

[@jokermtb]

I'm sure RedBull is wincing a bit after Ronan declared on the interview it wasn't helping his caffeine addiction!!!! Getting amped up like that seems to be the X-factor in snipping off that critical 1/4 second for victory...

[@ashleytombs]

@@jokermtb As the Tesco saying goes every little helps but 4 Red Bull is a bit much 😂😂

[@Mtool_CZ19]

what a ride Bernie!!! ure our hero! Thank you so much for doing these vlogs!

[@doomweaver2007]

Insane. Excellent epic riding hats off to you. Bro 🎉

[@stak5074]

Well done Bernie! fast as lightning!!!

[@thomasdyson8329]

Gutted on 2nd that was a tough race and Ronan smashed it! Was happy though that both of my favorites came first and second! Go on the lads

[@leonemccallum2397]

Blimey BK. You shouldn’t be despondent. These races are run on such slim margins it’s a bit of a lottery in the end. Every podium is a winner! And we love your work. It wouldn’t be the same without you!

[@C-24-Brandan]

Keep Killin' It Man, nothing wrong with how you placed & did. That course/track was gnarly , challenging & overall I'd say seemed more challenging than others. Overall was an impressive course/track, the race/event went well & end of the day you made it top to bottom safely & uninjured, placed top 3 and gave it your best!

[@ricooschmann5797]

Great run, Bernard! I love to watch you riding.

[@NZWozza]

You guys all put on a hell of a show, thanks for taking us with you once again with the LSD.

[@madrx2]

6:13 Landing at that speed into a corner full of slush just looks like a near death experience. Crazy how you guys can literally ride the knife edge between traction/death. haha!! Amazing

[@bakerdeathwish88]

Ronan's run was near perfect, really impressive. Gotta give it to the kid. You're Always the legend BK no matter what!

[@dunkie976]

Tough day but look at what you've done BK!!!! To you guys this is all pretty normal, but to us.......this is all frikking incredible, and how you coach and look after everyone is so commendable. But mainly....you made it through injury free and can now look to the world cup now........See you at The Fort man we'll be cheering you on dude!

[@dae3xt]

you did great BK ! nothing to be bummed about.

[@columbiaindieband4717]

Gutted for you. Positive is it’s a great start to the season ahead . Track looked like it had dried a lot by the time you had a your race run. Smash the WC’s now. BK and PFR let’s gooooooooo! Not forgetting the main man Lada

[@georgeharris1214]

BK. Keep living the dream . Thank you you did great

[@redbullhamster]

This is what a day of racing feels like. Hell yeah.

[@andyb9664]

Amazing run! It's called hardline for a reason 👀👏🏻

[@CMOOREtbay]

Thanks for the daily updates. Congrats on the killer ride. And thanks to redbull for saving DH for the fans!

[@chrismcgourty1756]

Tough day but look what you did leading up to that, testing, intro for all the others, especially the girls and helped get them through a first RBH. Not what you wanted, we know, not what we wanted either but it's been a hell of a week and a great laugh with all the vids. Thanks dude.

[@anttiikonen4291]

Epic work BK, keep it up! Youre the man!

[@fidy8dub]

Crazy close bro was screaming at the telly for ya!!

[@markf4968]

Awesome videos, thanks Bernie! Poor Matt, tough week.

[@mej6519]

congrats on 2nd place mate, ronan was a on a heater of a lap was goona be hard to beat that.

[@enduromtb9587]

Bernard you are the man! Thankyou for providing such an amazing insight into this event! Nice work getting Fearon to race haha Good luck for the season!

[@_Aph]

You're the man BK. You'll get it next time. Huge run regardless!

[@evaiscoolest]

Mate you are the king of hardline!!

[@stumpy25lbs]

Mate, you came second and smashed it. Proud of you brother! 🤘🏼🔥

[@eugenespreutels8305]

So close, a great ride but you looked a little off to me. A long week of riding definitely takes its toll. Thanks for sharing all of it with is, cheers!

[@hampusmyrefeltwestman488]

Yes BK😍💪 Amazing run🥳

[@jl-z2461]

love the extended pre race run wait at the top. gets the nerves going and makes it feel like im there.

[@davemanago7678]

BK ALL DAY!!!!!!! NEVER GIVE UP DUDE. ITS ALL YOU NEXT TIME! 🙌🙌🙌🙌🙌

[@pawsan69]

That was a savage run BK, be proud man.

[@RockMumbles]

What a week! You rode hard, escaped injury, ended up on the podium ... Maybe not the results that you expected/wanted but you should be proud!

[@TREVONBACH]

ODD q... is it better to qualify middle of the pack to then crush when the track is at optimum? It seemed your amazing quali actually cost you the win overall... Thanks BK

[@RiderNambaLast]

Это жесть конечно, новая трасса шикарная, спасибо за видео, ты жесткий)

[@AlphaPews]

BK your a legend. 😎 hopefully get to see you in Wales.

[@comedyash]

I suppose this only makes you more hungry for that WC win. I'll be at FW to cheer you on mate! Incredible effort as always and appreciate the hard work on the LSD's.

[@tassiemat.d3715]

thanks for coming to Tassie this event will change MTB here cheers

[@thomasbenito274]

Considering what you went through last 2022 Hardline, I'd say you were able to redeem yourself. Let's get the next one!

[@bod3000]

Well done on 2nd. Sorry you didn't get the win. Thought new event was worthy of hardline title. Good luck for Wales

[@AC-ww6nf]

Bernard it was challenging, I'll say something to think about going forward. Dial back the pace in qualy's so you'll be in the mid pack in the line up so you don't have your race run on a blown out track.

[@mtbewan5632]

I love the self criticism here u still smashed it and your looking for improvement 🙌

[@littlehobbies]

you were flying BK geat performance look forward to seeing you crush the WC this year

[@thecremeegg]

No shame in losing to a run like that, thanks for the content!

[@Cranckmexx94]

This should be the liveStream PoV, amazing!

[@HeidiFegles]

I hope they do more hardline that was legit. Bernard is so consistent,

[@claudios1733]

Well done BK!!!

[@matthewking6158]

Crazy speed, I’ve no idea how Ronan was faster. Mind blown

[@DangerousDav]

Unlucky bk, we were all gutted for you but RD was truly amazing. Still can't get my head round you being so much faster in the wet though.

[@jokermtb]

dangit! we were pullin' for ya! I'm sure you've heard it a million times, but it still stings coming ever so close!!! garrr!!!

[@chriswilliams1944]

Unlucky, BK! You rode a great race,but Ronan’s run was just superhuman.

[@etelfer]

Next time, mate. Huge fan.

[@christophermiller6573]

BK. You are always in the hunt! You keep putting yourself in position to win....Your consistency and leadership is why everyone at the Events look to you to go first off the big features and the women look to you to help them progress. All that to say, there is no dominant rider in Downhill today.....so the guy that is consistently at the top, always poised to succeed, has a much better opportunity to win, than the guy who has the ride of his life! Keep pluggin along, BK. We love watching the LSD and the openness of your Diary. You would not be you, without being gutted at finishing 2nd. This too, shall pass! On to the next!

[@G-DUB83]

Awesome coverage this year! That first part of the track is what made or broke a run! good job and effort man!!

[@XeviSi]

This race run looks unbeatable, WTF did Ronan do? Unbeliavable😲

[@mariusactiontours5779]

Great Run Bernard

[@chemakajimenez40]

Enhorabuena Bernard!!!! Eres el mejor

[@RyhnoMight]

You're an absolute monster in the woods! Fucking speed demon gliding thru the Tasmania soil. What a legend.

[@Lord-Vader-Lives]

2nd place is awesome!!!

[@AndrewBarber90]

It’s amazing to watch Matt’s vlog back to back with this. Both terribly entertaining and talented riders in their own respect but my god you are rapid compared to Jonesy.

[@-dystopic-]

The top half is so techy, Idk how you got through it so fast!

[@Archiebold38]

Hey we know you want the wins and probably cudda, but what you bring to this comp is 2nd to none, the content, the effort, I’m sure the competitors totally respect you, I think the prestige is there bud, I’m sure it’s not about money…see you in wales…

[@steezerider1480]

Congrats! sketchy conditions, gr8 result 😎🚲

[@andrewhicks9866]

Been wathching these for a long time but whats up with the new camera, so much wind noise on the video, the sesssion 5 wans not this this bad. Good result looking forward to the 2024 DH season, hopefully the track builders and UCI might take note from this event.

[@LvlUp.]

That was awesome Mate ❤

[@MarkieMTB]

Congrats mate ! Youre a beast mate, keep pushing ! Much love matey

[@jambo52]

mate your the hero of the event you come down that course in blazing colour and glory ! get the new YE album on and lets keep moving on up ! peace bro

[@rodneypurbrick7899]

Just crazy fast you kids. I know the bikes are insane machines these days, but you still have to hang on and guide em. Just stupid fast. Unreal...

[@Spookyshoes]

I swear that high speed section is like a POV of the Speeder Bike chase on Endor from Star Wars.

[@thehelmetsrideagainmtbchan7942]

Well done mate, you will smash Wales Hardline, look forward to that 😎🤘

[@MrOvertSandStorm]

Well done Bernard! Well done to Ronan too! I thought the coverage was a bit rough this time, the camera work wasn't as good as usual. Oh well! still a mega race

[@ReverseRG1234]

Don’t know what livestream you were watching, but the redbull tv stream showed the podium celebrations

[@MrOvertSandStorm]

@@ReverseRG1234 hmm I swear it cut away to showing Ronan's run for ages

[@MrOvertSandStorm]

@@ReverseRG1234 oh shit, yeh it did haha you're right. Fair enough. My point still stands about the racing camera shots

[@crashburn1379]

i reckon it's because it the first time in this track, they will make adjustment next year that.
