Tylers run was crazy! 16yrs old WOW!

[@bad1080]

i like how the drone shots look like 240p brings me back in time 20 years

[@CalQaida]

The good ole days! 1995 VHS camcorders.

[@paulmakesthings]

It's really interesting the difference in quality between the drone shots on the big screen at the event vs the same identical drone shots here on the YT broadcast. I think there's a bitrate bottleneck somewhere in the system

[@gurdevsingh4503]

Tyler waite run was awesome🤟🤟

[@hobmarg]

insane pace

[@CalQaida]

One the razors edge the whole time. Wild stuff!

[@Talismant8te]

These 2 as commentators is priceless

[@Talismant8te]

Eliot came a long way commenting I’m really enjoying it

[@duroxkilo]

it's a great combo, both insight and excitement.. as much as i enjoy mr Rob's style (and i respect his huge contribution over the years), w/o a little complementary help, it was getting a bit repetitive for me.

[@donwilson6007]

Lucky it wasn’t hardline roadgap for Bernard.

[@sidekicksjn]

Maybe Hardline is where the damage was done.

[@kieranbrain3733]

Hope Bernard is ok.

Bossed it!

[@keepon239]

Music was on point the whole broadcast 👏

[@TeddyParker]

I've not really been a fan of the tubing design of these prototyping bikes using that Atherton-esque design. I know catastrophic failures are flukey but I didn't like that one. I feel like the HT snapped before the fork even fully compressed. More so the second the front wheel touched the ground. Almost like it didn't resist at all. And, for clarity, we saw other riders make more or less that same 50/50 case... And ride out of it. So. I dunno I hate that. Hope BK is okay and ready to go for round 1 wc

[@benjy288]

Be interesting to see where exactly it snapped, where the carbon meets the metal head tube, or the metal head tube itself, I'm picking where the carbon meets the head tube.

[@TeddyParker]

@@benjy288Absolutely. Don't wanna jump to assumptions but it seems like a classic strong component attached to a stiff but fragile component issue and there's no gradient or reinforcement (or weld like alloy) to reduce failure or at least make it less catastrophic. Sometimes a bike or fork breaks 'slowly' and it reduces the 'whip' of the fall. this bike didnt even try, looked like cardboard.

[@Tony_P]

@@TeddyParkerI wonder how much riding this frame has done ? Most likely the same frame from Tas Hardline , where BK landed the container gap hard before they modified the landing for the race. He bent the pedals on that landing.

[@TeddyParker]

@@Tony_PFor sure. Considering the construction. These frames shouldn't be seeing another event after a hardline or after an entire wc season, etc. Or at least they should replace the carbon if they can reuse the lugs. New carbon, new epoxy/glue/adhesive.

[@mej6519]

maybe a little hardline stress fracture. unfortunate for bk tho. part reason why pivot signed bk up was that he has a nack for breaking bikes in the most unusal ways.. pivot will build a v.2.0 once theyve sussed out what happened.

[@martin-i2p5e]

This is absolutely my new fave sport!

Welcome ❤️

[@joshuaanothereraseddad]

Kerr is a "cracking" lad on a bike... :) Hope he is alright!

just posted he is fine somehow

Red Bull please come back to dh wc ⛳

[@loamsomerider]

@1:54:39 wtf are they laughing?!!!!

[@sKiiTs8]

yeah i thought the same, not very sportsmanlike

[@beardedmtb]

Probably because they were watching on the screen that switched to the view of them. Looked real shocked initially.

[@ashleytombs]

Wow no better to wake up on a Sunday morning then Coffee and Rotorua DH I hope your boy BK is OK you never expect the front end to break like that that was gnarly Congratulations. to Eliana hulsebosch and all the other 16yo that smashed it the youth of today is an absolutely insane but rider of the day for me was Taylor White his run would’ve been insane without those mistakes he made

[@roddas26]

Shout out to Louis Hamilton coach of the year? 🤙

[@ethanstevenson1265]

[@dannybeck4339]

Well done for showing people laughing at BKs crash over and over again, whoever was on shot choice needs talking to.

[@duroxkilo]

v exciting track and the image quality/angles were great. excellent riding, the 'youngsters' were something else, incredible performance levels. i'd enjoy a bit more background on the athletes, hardware used and especially their techniques, like mr Eliot is noticing line choices, braking segments, weight balance, etc... explain to the ppl what's going on w/ the rider, the bike, the track...

[@HWAFFI]

Early days in this format but how goods the track 🤙

[@marc7214]

The girls had some cranked up runs. Great to watch mighty impressive

[@dansharpie]

the down tube has a bend in it before it goes into the headset, why use carbon anyway ?

At least kerr wasnt on winning pace. Would have sucked if he was 3 seconsd up

[@augsburger5714]

All the best for Bernhard, but I will cancel the order for my new Pivot, the part is dangerous !!!!!

[@Happy_Biker]

Was your order for the prototype bike like Bernard was riding? I don't think that's even available to buy, and not their normal design. Just saying.

[@duroxkilo]

oh come on..

[@NightPlane]

Where is Richie's run???

[@mclaren44]

if that bike snapped at hardline he could have been seriously injured

[@lostwithasmile485]

Worst situation for a bike manufacturer...having your frame snap is not too encouraging...

looks like the 'pivot' didnt work well on that headtube lol

They were laughing because they saw they were on the camera

[@asapcg3546]

Looks like they start laughing because they came up on the big screen

[@ChristopherWoods]

They were just laughing as they were suddenly cut up on to the big screens and none of them were expecting it. Their reaction to the crash was the same as everyone else's.

[@ejb2937]

They are both junior elite downhill riders so I highly doubt they are laughing at the crash.

I mean cmon multi time felon..Drg dealer who died while high as hell resisting arrest .. ya that's definitely NOT the hill I'm gonna choose to make a stand on .. 0 respect for him .. common sense isn't common anymore .. I personally won't be watching any further programs he is part of

[@Tingley19]

Bro the women look like they go so slow compared to the men it’s like watching a different sport or a run on a different track. 😂 Martha Gill’s first run was like they had to do shakey cam purposely just to make her look faster.

[@Jayman5281]

You must be new to the sport. Bet all those ladies will stomp you on any trail. Wake up “bro”. There’s a reason for different classes in abilities, age, and sex.

[@ollialanko699]

Blenki just proved that pedalling efficency of belt drive & gearbox is right up there with conventional drivetrain by winning Richie Rude on the pedalling.💪🦿
