why is that? course suck? did it a few years ago (on a great condition day), and it was good times. would have liked to check it out if it weren't on a weekday (which of course is a pretty detrimental factor in terms of turnout).

That same mopheaded jerkfacehead and brobrah are announcing again.
Can we come up with some sort of drinking game involving malapropisms and misinformation?
Add points for brah's and hair flips and we'll all be drunk real quickly.

It is colder on top of the mountain than at the bottom. Pro tip.

Half done with the first beer but the bourbon is starting to kick in.
It's going to be a total alcohol-induced shredfest on the road ride home.

Goldman did just suicide no-hander GLC though.

ACC winning A-line by 7 seconds. I'd love to see her race a world cup again. She still seems to dominate.

A shame the commentator doesn't even listen to the answers she politely provides to his idiot questions, then asks them again.

Just awful.

Yeah, the announcers are terrible. They really are clueless as to what/who they are announcing.

Im over here now
Last year i thought Mason Mashon did a good job off setting Tippie's hyperness but this year the over the top "bro-flavor" on the microphone is getting way old already...
Can he be any more clueless?
thems fightin words on PB.

The bro-brahness is out of control, lack of name pronunciation and general lack of knowing anything about the sport. I like when Leigh was up there doing a pre race interview, those guys had no clue who she was or what she had done in the past-which is fine, but wouldn't you want to get some info/data on people you are interviewing?

Oh well, pay peanuts, you get monkeys.
