Baller Mateo_Vargas Posted August 21, 2019 Baller Share Posted August 21, 2019 Can I put a quarter in for another 10 minutes? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baller whitem71 Posted August 21, 2019 Baller Share Posted August 21, 2019 Agreed, I feel there is so much more to be said but it seems some people are understandably a little reluctant to share their feelings. On the positive side, the webcast was good, commentary was entertaining (if a little chaotic but that poor guy was up there for hours), the event timings were pretty solid and the boats didn't break down. Running over the line made me chuckle though. On the flip side, there seemed to be more injuries than usual, the jump events looked scary and there was zero atmosphere from the non existent crowd. Why bid for the event if you can't guarantee spectators? Perhaps it was an exercise for the Malaysian government tourism board? I was also disappointed to see the judges get Nates gates call wrong, I mean this is the world championships! Having said all that, whilst gutted our Fred missed out, I was mega chuffed to see the really likeable, tough and talented Joel Howley take the slalom gold. Hope he makes a good recovery, but anyone else wonder why he bindings didn't release? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gold Member Than_Bogan Posted August 21, 2019 Gold Member Share Posted August 21, 2019 Why hard stop at 10 minutes? Is that a podcasting thing? Honestly, I'm not sure there's that much more of value to discuss about worlds, but I'm just curious about cutting it off like that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baller Chef23 Posted August 21, 2019 Baller Share Posted August 21, 2019 I just watched some of the finals and the water conditions were rough. There was no wind but there were consistent rollers/backwash through the course. I would get it if there were thousands of people watching but there wasn't anyone in the crowd either. Thrilled to see @JoelHowley win. I met him at Coble's Ski School the first year he came over to the states and skied with him a couple of times after that and there isn't a nicer guy and he is a great coach. He appears to be doing a bunch with coaching at home and throughout Asia as well which is great to see particularly working with kids in Australia.

Baller vtmecheng Posted August 22, 2019 Baller Share Posted August 22, 2019 That's right @Andre. Got to live with the results of your decisions. @Horton did I hear you correctly that he broke his foot in 4 places? That's a nasty injury. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Administrators Horton Posted August 22, 2019 Author Administrators Share Posted August 22, 2019 @vtmecheng that is what I was told.

Baller MillerTime38 Posted August 22, 2019 Baller Share Posted August 22, 2019 Something that wasn’t mentioned was how long it was between the skiers round and the runoff for the men’s finals, I believe the 3 finalist were the 3 of the first 5 skiers to ski in the finals, so they probably sat there for nearly an hour before coming off the dock cold at 10.75 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baller Bill22 Posted August 23, 2019 Baller Share Posted August 23, 2019 Hey @Horton ever heard of Dane Mechler? 2@-41 in the prelim and was top seed in the finals. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baller MillerTime38 Posted August 23, 2019 Baller Share Posted August 23, 2019 @Bill22 also @danemechler ran 10.75 meter line both rounds...never mentioned that either but I guess it got in the way of narrative to discuss the “dangerous” conditions Great skiing @danemechler Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baller chris55 Posted August 23, 2019 Baller Share Posted August 23, 2019 @Bill22 if you saw the tournament at Lake 38, Florida, you would have seen Dane Mechler skiing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Administrators Horton Posted August 23, 2019 Author Administrators Share Posted August 23, 2019 Yes guys Mechler had a great event. It is a ten minute show. We hit the highlights, the winners and the key stories.

Baller DavidN Posted August 23, 2019 Baller Share Posted August 23, 2019 Great show, as always, thanks! Why not continue the conversation with a part 2 ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Administrators Horton Posted August 23, 2019 Author Administrators Share Posted August 23, 2019 @DavidN the design of the show is to make a compelling without making it too long. Both Trent and I firmly believe that if it's too long nobody's going to watch. My YouTube statistics support that premise.

Baller ScarletArrow Posted August 23, 2019 Baller Share Posted August 23, 2019 The first rule of Hollywood is "always leave them wanting them more". @Horton seems to have accomplished that. Maybe episode #27 will be like episode V of Star Wars, or maybe like the Matrix Reloaded. More content (longer) isn't always better content.
