Build the hype on practice short clips and interviews who’s looking good who’s struggling and race day build it up with clips and updates on social media and last stage show it live like they have it fastest man or woman last down the stage and get interviews with riders as they finish so we are invested in how there day went
I'm STROOONGLY opiniated that this is mainly UCI's fault. They push Road racing and XC A LOOOOOT more than they do Enduro. UCI is just lazy and greedy. They could give rights to several people for less money and let for example Redbull broadcast it. The problem is not just in teams, keeping hush just so they can keep the jobs, that to me is a hostage situation more than a sport. UCI needs to lose title of the world series, we need to find a way, to make new series I hope RedBull Hardline is one of them and slowly introduce own World Cup level of track in next 5-10 years. Teams are already paying the entry, why not to somebody else than greedy UCI.
It’s the European enduro series. Not a World Series. And the coverage has been dog shit.
It's in Europe for a reason, imagine flying around the world all the time, teams barely make it with money that they have in EU ground. Imagine flying with all the gear from England > Austria > Portugal > New Zeland > USA. Just those two last trips burned half of the budged that they would spend if staying in EU for another 10 races... This is not F1 where they toss around billions.
@@FireLysm They used to do exactly that- think it’s safe to say Covid “killed” enduro.. that combined with airlines, hotels and every other damn thing being price gouged now.. it’s just not feasible anymore 🤷🏻♂️
I feel like I never see GoPro footy of the stages? Am I just missing it or is it like not allowed or riders prefer to avoid it? I understand we're never gonna have... Cameras covering entire tracks. But for post-production it's clear GoPro clips are invaluable.
I think DH and enduro events and athletes should combine. Enduro is pretty much all lift access now anyway. Use enduro courses with everything else being DH based. Reduces costs and won’t split the fan base and sponsorships etc.
That is a weird take. The audience should pretend everything is amazing and the racers should shut up or 'eff off.
I wish there were more enduro races showcased
Its what we do every weekend, trail/enduro bike ride on our local trails yet the coverage is crap by UCI, im glad some of the racers like yourself have your own channel and give a better coverage. Hope UCI wakes up!
Love Charlie and Jack's coverage of enduro. It is more relatable to avg mtb'ers. I could actually seeing myself riding a stage and not injuring myself :) There are lots of things you could do, if funds and support available, to make the coverage more inclusive and draw the viewer in. I watch the DH race coverage too, but mostly from the riders, BK, Troy, and Pinkbike's Ben Cathro coverage.
Diabetic Budweiser gladiators are the problem
Racing and UCI sucks
