Here is a teaser I just found, it's about racing and the quest for the olympics but not some shit that CBC would put off, looks like a worthy watch.  And if someone wants to embed it that would be great.

I would watch that, racing is crazy. I raced forever before dropping it for twin tips. It helped my skiing out so much, i don't regret doing it one bit

I feel like people that don't know a whole lot about skiing prefer to watch racing. To me it's the same reason people watch Nascar, there is a 100% for sure winner, and someone could eat shit.

I was watching ready fire aim with a buddy and his wife from Texas (she is a huge bitch but whatever) and she was like. "all this stuff looks really easy, I bet racing is way harder." Not cool Rachel, not cool.

The only things gay about racing is the skin suits, which do actually serve a purpose. Also the annoying people who think theyre good but lose their skis getting off the lift even though they "race."

This could represent ski racing if downhilling was freeskiing.

sick vid, love racing, although no where like Austria is it so focused and part of the culture, on every media outlet, famous racers on billboards and tv ads, tv coverage they analyse turns over and over, same with interviews with the racers. plus that the crowds are nuts with thousands of ppl with cow bells, flags and flares!

hope some actually gets show olympics coverage this time around.....

I don't know a lot of the racers I know are some of the coolest kids I know. I mean they do train alot but those guys rip harder than anyone else, I've never understood the hate.

fuck wish i could edit on NS

meant to say at the end that I hope the TV coverage on racing in the olympics is actually shown here in Oz rather than figure skating all the time!
