Is Downhill Racing Fun? | Sidetracked w/ Eliot Jackson in Lenzerheide

[@RedBullBike]

Would you find World Cup racing fun? 🧐

[@CHZR4500]

Despite the pressure of millions of bikers judging your every crank I think it would be amazing to ride with your childhood hero’s all while a nice refreshing red bull is waiting for you at the end of the Finnish line 🔥🤙🏻

i raced nationals and regionals in uk for 14 years, it is fun but damn it is stressful and hard work too - i imagine those emotions are amplified in WC obviously, the goods are great and the bads are terrible - Yes is my answer, i would have fun

[@Esbbbb]

It's unbelievable how great content Red Bull puts out there for free. Love you guys, love you Eliot, love you Rob (and of course Tracey!) and love all the riders and fans!

[@Talismant8te]

They just need to get an another commentator Eliot is trash

[@SuspensionTraveler]

RB Bike is the benchmark for other sports on how to do coverage. The highlights of action, excitement and drama of a full race weekend combined with great storytelling and amazing footage is next level! Also helps that DH is obviously the best sport ever invented 🤘

[@floydfoster8593]

Watching the Downhill Worldcup is pure excitement, allowing those watching it to immerse themselves in the atmosphere and experience emotional moments. There a so many sympathetic characters in the sport that i wish almost everybody could be first. But at least i guess everybody involved is a winner somehow :) Thank you for the great and enjoyable coverage.

[@RedBullBike]

Well said. They out there living their best life. You’re very welcome. ✌️

[@teoleoni]

What a great video! I'll miss your mtb world cup coverage!!!

[@323johnnybravo]

Love enduro racing but the excitement of DH is unmatched.

Here here 🍻

[@jasonpatrickdeleon4701]

Im more excited in Redbull Rampage and Hardline

[@hobmarg]

@Red Bull Bike please tell me you guys have some special retorespective coverage planned for the end of this season with the change-over in coverage? I'd watch a 2 hour show (heck make it 5 hours) of all the highlights going back to when Red Bull took over coverage of World Cup downhill. 3:11 run by Myriam is absurdly fast, really impressive riding.

[@Ghostina1]

Music - Cut - Interviews everything so on point!

Again .. elliot jackson never dissapointed ! Kudos

Props to Finn, it's been a journey! Respect from Canada 🇨🇦

[@Furui93Shin]

Kinda gutted about some changes behind the scenes next year, but glad to see you guys squeeze absolutely every bit of content about this sport this year. Great job. DH is just the most exciting and scary thing ever. But it's fun to watch :D

[@CHZR4500]

Love Elliot Jackson

[@RedBullBike]

Us too! ❤

[@biko055]

@@RedBullBike I'm sure he's a good guy but his commentary during the races is horrible. He sounds like a high, pre-teen girl, with his giggling and falsetto interjections. I mean no ill will toward him but please replace him with Claudio or at least someone who doesn't sound like some dude hanging out in front of the 7-11. Cheers.

[@JustJake77]

THIS IS MTB! DH is the pinnacle of our sport! There is no discipline on the planet that comes close to the feeling, one gets hurtling down a mountain on to wheels. With nothing but, your own power and gravity making you, speeder bike style! I love this sport!

[@BeeYksrr]

So Minaar on the podium again... amazing.

[@RedBullBike]

The 🐐 is relentless

[@terr256]

I started racing this season, it's definitely stressful but it's soo much fun! The crowd, people, and the vibe are awesome.

[@RedBullBike]

Nice! Glad you’re enjoying it ✌️

This race was just off the charts. Dom-encal

Elliots laugh makes the whole show! 😂😂😂😂😂

We think an Eliot laugh compilation is needed

[@ogasi1798]

great video guys :-) Lenzerheide was a great event this year too - 2nd half here we go

[@hazbutler]

Aww love to see Emilie stealing a kiss on Cami's cheek.

[@JamiedoesWildBikepacking]

When I used to race downhill, it was stressful and pressurised. But the whole scene was good fun travelling to different places for each race with my mates each weekend. The better you get though the more pressure to perform.

[@RedBullBike]

Sounds sick. Maybe as the pressure increases, riders aim to dial in that process of handling it better.

[@JamiedoesWildBikepacking]

@@RedBullBike Where the true pro shines, under pressure! 👍🏁

[@jibberist]

lenzerheide is a blast

[@Racinglife_]

Surely winning is the most fun part

[@johnd0e25]

That was a fun watch

[@bryancook7541]

DH racing is super fun!!!! as long as you are having fun doing it and it's not a job. I think thats why Gwin has kinda slowed down. he's not having as much fun as he used to. but i get it, old age and the fear of bones shattering isn't much fun

[@JustOneWolf]

100% certainty is a bold statement :D

[@craigmolway]

Great coverage for the elites but once again, no coverage or mention of the juniors. Where is the fun in that?

[@Squid_Lab]

To be honest I don’t know why Eliot says this is a cool location… I mean there was also Albstadt and Nove Mesto in the race calendar….

[@MrTidjon]

If I may say, off topic, Google/youtube are getting ridiculous with the adds!!!! 3 adds in this clip alone!!! WTF???? My guess, if Amaury doesn't (hopefully not!!!) get an injury, no one will get him this season..... and maybe a few more seasons to come!

[@bigdarbs19]

Of course they're having fun, a better question would be are the cross country guys having fun, as that is proper suffering!

Someone should machine a chainsaw bar with a ridge to accept a bike chain and you might need to change the sprocket. But how cool would it be to have a chainsaw with a spinning bike chain?
