Those announcers have some issues. Maybe they should be tested for doping.

Nice riding. Next time some roadie talks about “bike handling skills” I will smack him.

I love this.

The video is great, but the announcers made me laugh so hard the whole time

OK - that was definitely 3 mins worth watching!

CRAZY downhill bike skills and the best announcers ever! Wow.

5

They would need to be seriously medicated to last at that intensity for a Grand Tour stage :wink:

Mountain Biking will always be a much cooler sport than triathlon

I think the announcers were hitting the Baileys. Fun watch and very entertaining.

“How does Danny Hart sit down with balls that big.”
Damn, that is funny. Thanks for posting.

I wish these guys could narrate my every move.

OH! MY! GOD! HE’S GOT THE COFFEE! HE’S GOT THE COFFEE! HE’S NOT ADDING ANY FUCKING MILK! HE’S DRINKING IT BLACK! IT’S GONE! NOW WHAT? HOLY SHIT! HE’S WAKING UP HIS DAUGHTER AND NOW HE’S MAKING HER OATMEAL! THIS MAN IS AN ANIMAL! AN ANIMAAAAAAL!

Love that post! Found myself reading it in the voice of those announcers…awesome.

16

“Your favorite mafia sucks” is my next tee shirt.

Those guys are probably going to be speechless for a week after all that yelling.

Amazing.

I’m sorry, just watched the video and it started of with a very pasty ginger. There is no amount of compression socks that can equal the uncoolness of a pasty ginger. I got scared and hit the stop button so didn’t get to see the rest of the film.

Having met a bunch of triathletes and a bunch of mountain bikers I would rather converse with the former to be honest. The proliferation of the word ‘like’ along with whatever ubiquitous alternative to the word ‘sick’ is currently in their repertoire would lead me to serial killing within ten minutes.

I do think that the massive amount of film time devoted to MB is well spent though as it looks the bees in on Vimeo / You Tube and you gotta hand it to them, they either have balls of steel or are so stupid they don’t care what happens to them. I think a mix of the two is likely.

The Danny Hart (Heart?, whatever) video does show some pretty special handling though.

Someone should do some decent tri footage soon. Those ‘inspirational’ videos on You Tube, each playing U2’s Beautiful Day at some point, are a bit lame. We have less ‘wow’ to work with but surely someone can come up with something.

Watching an IM is like watching paint dry. It is no wnder most IM pros don’t make much, the distance/sport is boring.

I do enjoy watching an ITU race though

Triathlon seems to attract mostly nerds hence the video
