World Cup DH 2024 and beyond - discussion

[Headshot]

That was probably the most in control flowy run I can remember.  He just seemed to be perfectly balanced and in control at all times. 

 

The season is almost over, with just one more race coming up in Canada next month. There is talk of up to 15 races next year which I think will be a good thing. This years season with a big break for Olympics and the worlds feels disappointingly short to me. 

I paid for the Staylive stream which has been underwhelming. Even the replays buffer at times and you end up with voice/video sync issues in the interviews. Junior racing on YouTube has no such issues. Its also not available as an app so you cant sintal it on a TV or media box, you have to cast it from your phone or computer. Better than noting but not quite RedBull TV...

I think they have improved the course coverage  but there are still issues with poor decision making and poor coverage of some runs while others are shown in full.

Two things killed World Cup DH racing completely dead for me. No Red Bull TV / DSTV. This has been discussed at length, so I won't flog that horse. The other thing was the death of the Fox Dialed series. There was so much insight and information in those videos, it just amped up the anticipation throughout the week. This year I have not watched one World Cup DH and haven't missed it at all

Its actually been really good but i'm wondering whether I'll just catch the reasonably good highlights and youtuber videos instead of streaming it next year.
