I see broadcast starts at 5pm will I be watching until the wee small hours or is over a bit more quickly?
Would quite like to watch but not if it’s going to be on for 6 hours!
Usually 3-4 hours I think
I've always found it to be hugely weather dependent, for obvious reasons. Slight bit of wind and it holds it all up and goes on forever.

I converted the timing the other night to work this out myself, the presntations are due at around 10pm UK time, so matching the above.
A bit of build up, then 3 to 4 hours worth of riding.
I can't rembmer the format, whether there are multiple finals runs for each and whther the run order follows any sort of seeding etc.
Might be a long watch of windsock watching. Probably better off waiting for the highlights.
Just wait for the edited highlights.
Have it on your phone/tablet whilst watching something else if it gets windy...
Just wait for the edited highlights
Do Redbull still go out of their way to make spoilers the first thing you see?
yeah redbull still seem to want to make it difficult to watch the Highlights without finding out the winner is. makes no sense to me and spoilt many a downhill race for me 🙁
How come it’s not on at the weekend? Live feed not working for me at the minute
Edit working now... and guess what 💨💨
Think I’ll wait for the highlights!! (And try and avoid spoilers....). Cheers folks 👍
no boring windsock here.... just a little desert shrubbery to watch.

Preamble has started
OMG! I'm sick of the commentators already
Took me a while to get into it this year but this is getting really bloody good
Arrrrgghhhhh!!!!
Indeed!
We are experiencing technical difficulties
FFS.
I'll give them difficulty in a minute!
one job!
I mean, they're broadcasting live to the entire world from a desert, it's probably quite hard
Not as hard as a warzone!!

its not their first rodeo though
1st run repeats on
Not as hard as a warzone!!
indeed, Kate Adie did this from a nokia 3210 sat phone phone
We'll be back, right?
Hmmmm there's a question
Seems to be working on Youtube but not my TV
Apparently previous break was caused by a power failure onsite so should be the same on all platforms... I'm back up and running on redbull.com
And that recovery was just absolutely crazy, never seen anything quite like it I think
Hope you chaps didn’t miss Lacondeguy’s run.. madness
lacondeguy's run - total highlight
Well that guy’s going to be waiting 3 months for a new frame from YT
The razors edge of the bicycle and additional americanisms.
I'm watching on the Redbull tv app and it's been fine all evening. Those guys are total loons, I would crap myself just looking over the edge of the start line let alone dropping into it!
My daughter was watching with me earlier and said "I'm going to do that when I'm six" she's four at the moment. Nothing like aiming high, she's still on a balance bike!
An inner tube! Really!?
One hell of an inner tube, to stay inflated through that!
Godziek deserved more
Go Brendog!
Amazing stuff from Brendog - what a legend - did wonder how he was going to top that first run!
Just unreal. Bren is an absolute legend! 😃
Loved how he cheekily put his arm around the finish lady at the end. 😂
Just so sick.
The vid of Olly, Deaks and Matt Jones riding Kong is also very funny. Amazing to see riders of this standard having to take it steady - I doubt I could even walk most of this stuff!!

Brilliant

Possibly, I also felt some of the youngsters might have got higher scores, but I'm not really aware of the intricacies of the scoring and where marks might be lost for scruffy execution etc.
One thing I do know is there's going to be a gif of Andreu's "moment" in the online dictionary next to the word "Loose" from now on.
