Not listened. But Wynn is someone i`d be happy taking over in the booth. Can`t imagine how it would go, No one could replace Rob but Wynn has the right vibe.

especially since there won't be another DH season for me, now that RedBullTV doesn't have the rights...

@f00bar: On the risk of sounding like a Discovery shill, I think not watching DH next year out of principle isn´t helping anyone. I will be watching and if the delivered product isn´t up to par it´s ok not tuning in anymore but boycotting the sport really doesn´t to anybody any good. The paywall is an argument however

DBone95 (Oct 29, 2022 at 8:35)

@f00bar: "If" we have to pay to watch, think of it as we are supporting the riders. 1 less dinner and drinks out per month and you're more than Even Steven. It's all about priorities and sacrifice.

@DBone95: I would be willing to pay for the RedBull TV coverage with Rob Warner, Tracey Hannah, Claudio Caluori and Eliot Jackson.

Given how clueless moderators of corporate sport channels like Eurosport are, I'll rather pass and just read the results on PB the next day.

Puddings (Oct 29, 2022 at 11:21)

@asapyohanes: with the wild budget slashing and big project cancellations going on at WB post merger, there are questions as to what the budget impacts are going to be on europeon based WB activity

catweasel (Oct 29, 2022 at 18:09)

@asapyohanes: on the flip side if the discovery coverage is shit yet you still pay and make it profitable then they'll likely attempt to renew their contract. Then we just wind up with shit coverage for a longer time period.

asapyohanes FL (Oct 30, 2022 at 0:19)

@catweasel: I agree and I said in my first comment that if you try it and it´s not up to snuff it´s a different story. I´m just against boycotting outright from day one. Also their contract is seven years long. If everyone boycotts the sport of downhill for seven years there might not be a lot to come back once discoery drops their license.

2 hours long with no moving images!? This isn't the 1920's!

You never heard of a podcast?

Does it make it better? It does for me.
The previous episode with Amaury was really good too.

eblackwell FL (Oct 30, 2022 at 20:12)

I'm probably a minority in this respect, but I loved the question for Jack about which of the up-and-coming riders he'd have on the team. Its great you're giving some more attention to some of the more under the radar riders in these pods.

What are the rumours?

Maxipedia FL (Oct 29, 2022 at 3:22)

The rumour is that the rumours are, as always, on Vital!

Brasher FL (Oct 29, 2022 at 14:57)

@Maxipedia: which then will make there way here 12-24 hours later

About 3 or so years back there was that insider with the cryptic messages that gave away so many big deals lol.

I have nothing against Vali Holl, but I cannot like her and get enthusiastic about anything she does. It is that “skip” kind of person. Sorry

dkendy1 FL (Oct 29, 2022 at 4:00)

She's a young kid, a girl. You aren't obligated to be too enthusiastic about her. Might be even a bit weird if you did. As a 38 year old man I understand. But the main tag line here is Wyn Masters the new voice of DH. Which is enough to get me here commenting! Go Wyn!

pargolf8 (Oct 29, 2022 at 5:48)

Your opinion is so relevant mr fabio from jamaica. Gtfo you worm

on-the-move (Oct 29, 2022 at 6:06)

You're concerned with her enough to bloody tell us though aren't ya

singletrackjamaica FL (Oct 29, 2022 at 8:31)

@pargolf8: well I'm from Jamaica too and I think she's awesome.

FUbob (Oct 29, 2022 at 8:50)

Agree. I don't care for her either. She has an entitled, pouty attitude.

50percentsure FL (Oct 29, 2022 at 11:13)

@FUbob: She's fast strong skilled and rides like a boss. That's where judgement belongs

DBone95 (Oct 29, 2022 at 12:29)

@FUbob: I was in Snow Shoe for the double in 2021 and she was super cool. My wife and I were there from Tuesday till Monday and we walked up and down the pits probably 8 times a day each day, and she always smiled and waived at us, even one time when she was talking to her mechanic and she looked up and saw the 2 stalkers there yet again. She's a cool kid.

on-the-move (Oct 29, 2022 at 16:52)

@FUbob: God forbid a woman having an attitude, how dare she.

suspended-flesh FL (Oct 29, 2022 at 17:43)

@inside-plus: Right?! top level pro athletes have no right to be quirky in any way. The nerve!

FUbob (Oct 29, 2022 at 18:01)

@DBone95:
I bet she doesn't even like boiled peanuts.. now that's saying something.

FUbob (Nov 1, 2022 at 18:54)

@50percentsure:
Sportsmanship also counts and she's lacking there.. so far anyway.
