Same here. He was/is great in getting the unknown bits and pieces from the person’s life and mindset. He is clearly a great interviewer, however his blind rants and inability to see the whole picture made me stop watching him 😢
@@aussiematt52 even if I'm not offended at can tell if someone is offensive. And I have been offended by his comments around disabled adults and using them as insults
Wykie, noticed you have been slacking in the outside gym department. Now, COME ON! Let's get some of the soul breaking, heart sapping, sweat inducing, breath palpitating, Rhabdo challenging CONTENT!! 😅 I'm sittin' here WAITIN'!!
Dave has a great point on the size of the games. The money clearly isnt there for the games to be as huge as people want. Especially when everytime somethin goes wrong everyone threatens to boycott. If people want the games they have to support the brand
It's extremely disappointing to see CF turn the page to 2025 and we didn't get a satisfactory conclusion to the Lazar investigation that should have been more transparent. To some degree, I understand CF being a bit tight-lipped due to the pending lawsuit (that it will lose unless there is a settlement) by the family. Regarding the automatic invite, I'll be interested to see how many chances an athlete gets. Let's say after the invite, he/she fails to qualify. Does he/she have a third chance? Third, I appreciate Dave's contribution to the sport, but something about his participation now feels shady. On another note, I appreciate you following up on my suggestion that your dog be included in your next video, 👍
Does anyone know what signed for the World Fitnness Project Means? Do they have contracts or earn money or something.? So they have to travel to a certain number of events?
@@jamiehowells3293 I don’t have a relationship with him at all. Just been a part of the CrossFit community since 2009, and have watched and followed him over the years
Congratulations on the votes and the comments they made about you.. very positive.. Torian I think has a case to get the games.. stuff Europe. I'd hope their option to invite would to an Aussie or Kiwi athlete they dont need a big named American. The only thing I dont like is that the semi's arent standardised programming.. I think these need to be the same across the globe with maybe one event programmed by the hosts?? Dont skip leg day😂😂 The professional athletes who participate in crossfit arent crossfit professionals they are functional fitness athletes so yeah make money whenever you can.. what will be interesting is if the world fitness thing schedules aeound August to compete with the games and which way those athletes go.. ooh more drama in 2025.. Have a great xmas-new year.
The athletes can do multiple events even if they have already qualified. Colton has said he’s looking at Torian as one he wants to do also a few European athletes have mentioned having it as a comp they want to travel to so you Aussies & Kiwi athletes might be in trouble for qualifying more back to having only Tia for you 😂 And Europe makes financial sense for the Games due to how easy and cheap travel is in Europe and it’s easy to get there from other parts of the world unlike Australia.
No invites, it undermines 'the test'. Maybe a top athlete from 2024, hasnt put the work in after the 2024 seaon, why should they get a free pass? Someone could have worked in the background to esrn that spot. This is a test for the fitness, not a popularity contest. Earn your spot. Period.
Honestly cannot think of a worse person to run the games than Castro and would much rather the games went back to being essentially an amateur event. After all most box members do it for pleasure and fitness and work it around family commitments and a proper job.
2 Things from my end: 1. The past champs is an original idea/initiative from the Pro! 2. I think Dave is being disingenuous: Crossfit during its Carson Era aggressively pursued and shut down anything close to a competition and intimated athletes who sought other pathways (think Grid League). If its true the claim that the Games was never meant to be a full time vehicle for people's professions or if it went big too fast then why the efforts and resources spent on ensuring no one else could take this idea and run with it?
@@teamRoyce 3 things from me: 1. Have you won Pro before? 2. If so, are we seeing Roycey back on the Indi’s field next year..? 3. Would love to know more about the aggressive pursuing of competitors during those years, I wasn’t aware!
@@wykieetsebeth 1. Yes in 2017 and 2021! 2. Heck yea! 3. Unfortunately I can't sister any sources but could give you more details in person next time we catch up!
@@aussiematt52 I don’t believe Royce said he wanted Dave canceled. He just said that he believes they were actively trying to shut down other ‘leagues’ or competitors to CrossFit back in the day. Athletes can dislike Dave and still compete in the CrossFit season
This is an excellent update! Thank you!
I struggle so hard with Sevan, the guy is so offensive

I want to watch and then I log on and see an old man talking about young women's bodies and trying to be outrageous and I log off.

@@aussiematt52 go check out their Instagram account, it gives a breakdown of their season there. But there is still alot of unknowns
Was so good to see dave back
What sort of relationship do you have with Castro?

Also the games are in Auban New York next year it’s the worst kept secret at the minute in CF 👀👀
@Craig-pk5cc yeah I know Europe is cheaper for you all.. 😢 one can hope though.. bring on the season..

You know the games were hosted on Castro's ranch & run by Castro in its early amateur days right?
He invented the Games, why wouldn’t he run it? …
@@christytaylor6395 And how many competitors died on his watch back then?
@@catteel6448 Where have you been for the past year?
@@paulcharlwood702 competing in CrossFit, have you?
Start commenting on the toxic culture in crossfit.

Surely if Royce wanted Dave Canceled he won't be competing in CrossFit knowing daves not going anywhere

Hello from Greece! CrossFit is dead... Say hello to Hyrox...
Hyrox is knockoff of CrossFit so Hello
@@johnble1082 haha hey! Merry Christmas! I really hope you’re wrong, love what Hyrox is doing, but CrossFit is still where it’s at 😊
😂
There is no skill in Hyrox completely endurance, it's great but it ain't crossfit!
@@kireerobinson1342also, the standards in Hyrox are even worse. Below parallel wall balls, anyone?
