I can't stand those two commentating. I mean the girl who crashed at the end and had to be stretchered off they were basically laughing and joking about it. In what other sport would they get away with that?

I agree, rather critical commentators thats for sure, but I suppose they know what they're talking about! Entertaining at times, I love Rob's similies

There's more to commentating than shouting out the name of the person coming down the hill I can already see who it is I'm seeing what they are seeing and I can read the screen to see if their up or down I don't need it screamed at me.

Decent live commentators are hard to find, look at some of the clowns that are commentating on f00tball, with millions of viewers.

They're a bit different, maybe the negativity is a reaction to the cheerleading you get on most "Xtreme Sports" coverage. Rob is probably right that they are on the booze though, hopefully they won't overdo it and say something stupid.

I think the track looks class. Sort of thing you could have if you were allowed to take a digger to the face of cave hill get those switchbacks put in lol.

Pure class!! That was some tight racing, pity about Sam bailing he was lit, but fair play to Peat he's on top form this year by the looks of things! Great watch anyone who didn't see that missed out! lol

Hill's Crash (http://dirtmag.co.uk/worldcup/category/Videos/sam-hill-andorra-crash)

HOLY S**T!!!! That crash was horrible looking! Clearly landed it very well, but I'd say a lucky guy to be able to get up and blast on after that!

After reading the description above the vid I must say Hill was crazy fast in the woods, by far the fastest out of them all...he's still got it! lol

I knew that's where he had crashed you could see people throw their hands up at the lip of the drop obviously they could see what we couldn't and then it took him so long to come into view for the 1st camera in the woods section and the two twats commentating didn't even notice.

I'm hoping that whoever's covering the Fort Bill leg sticks a few more cameras on the course than at Andorra. Thought the coverage was pretty useless really. :(

Impressive - getting up from that and probably gaining 5 seconds back.
