Would You Ride in These Conditions? Sidetracked with Eliot Jackson in Leogang

It may be June, but it didn't feel like it when the athletes took to the track on Thursday for first practice. Incessant rain saw the track sodden through in parts, it became a battle to stay on the bike for many, with most athletes ending up at the bottom of the course covered head to toes in slick wet mud.
It was like being at another event altogether on race day, with Leogang and the course basking under the sun. The course did dry out on the top, and delivered a race that will be remembered as one of the toughest and muddiest ever!

These recap videos w/ Lauren and Eliot are always really well done. It must take a ton of work to put them together (planning, filming, writing, editing). If this isn't around next year because Discovery is taking over that will be a huge loss. Eliot is just a great presenter and brings a very nice touch.

[@blazedoctopus158]

What Discovery is taking over from redbull ?

[@yarkmates3409]

@@blazedoctopus158 yep , they’ve taken the contract away from red bull for the live tv coverage

[@blazedoctopus158]

@@yarkmates3409 Aw man that's a real shame the redbull TV app is great and free to watch, no doubt it will cost now with discovery!

6:34 LOL! The editor of this video deserves a cookie! That's what I call storytelling man!

[@MikeyV10]

I want to see more of this format Eliot, You with a mic, in the pits, on track, in the finish corral, at the start gate, chillin' with riders and fans and spreading positive vibes, kinda like what you did in this video ;)

[@hobmarg]

These edits coming out 4 days after the race is crazy, hats off to production team for working so hard.

[@trevorham6844]

Eliot might be the best presenter Red Bull has! Bring him back on the live feed!

[@Dolencd]

Man I always liked Claudio. He was so cool with his track previews, but Elliot is so much better! He's a star! :)

[@trevorham6844]

@@Dolencd Agreed, Claudio is great too

[@NOUS123ONE]

Elliot is better at this than on live commenting.

[@Dolencd]

@@NOUS123ONE That's true but he does commentating really well!!

[@derekadaway6390]

yeah , didnt like him at first, was a bit i don't know maybe nervous, slow in presenting, but as he has got faster , and more confident and competent, especially in commentary, as its a fast pace race, he has got a lot better, so yeah now he is pretty bloody good

[@adriansmith7736]

That @8:01 🍾, great editing once again.

[@katrinahase]

The boy with the foam finger plugging the bell...brilliant piece of editing! Well done recap, thanks!

YOU sir are AWESOME .. THIS was AWESOME...I've been a HUGE fan of yours since your racing days !!!! KEEP UP THE GREAT VIDS !!!!

That was a good edit, I got that "edge of the seat" feeling again. Maybe end the next race edit with crazy fans standing around you. Cheers.

[@Dolencd]

I mean really! This video was edited by a cool, cool person!

[@klonkrieger121]

Wow, the production on this is so good. Will be an absolute shame if we wont have this next year ):

Sick vid Elliot. Your so watchable, it’s a rare thing, to have instant likeability, but you have it. Always so fun to watch, and that’s what we’re all here for. 🤘🏻🤘🏻

[@TheCrookedWheel]

More Eliot please :)

[@BizzleByron]

1:40 this little montage with Eliot’s surprised Pikachu face really tickled me 😂

[@danieljordan3676]

Love these videos, the best part is how much you really enjoy it and how that comes through. My suggestion: End the next video with yours and/or a few people's favorite moments from the race weekend.

[@netposerx]

Eliot makes every video better.

[@0harris0]

sick roundup, the Red Bull Bike team is on fire this year!!! 12:45 .... the most hype moment in any sport!!! love how friends and family are all allowed into the finish zone... what other sport has this finish-vibe?!?!

[@MacRaceyMTB]

I wanna see more junior riders on these videos, it’s all about the elites at the minute

[@brian.walker]

Such a great recap. Great job all around to the team putting it together. Eliot crushed the commentary. Definitely ending the video with your personal highlights from the weekend would be great!

[@1969Escobar]

GREAT work Eliot!!!! thanks 🤘

[@ejphoto70]

great job EJ! end it on a party scene with you and the boys having a good one. like that old vid of the syndicate and brycland ripping it up after the race. thats what we all think is happening, or at least wish is happening after all the races.

[@duroxkilo]

i saw Camille Balanche in a video before the race (it could have been at the fox tent) and i thought "she's as calm as a winner" :} great video, watched till the end mr Eliot :} ps end the video w/ something from a poem, @1:20 i thought for a second you were gonna drop a quote on us "The woods are lovely, dark and deep, But I have promises to keep, And miles to go before I sleep, And miles to go before I sleep."
