    Thanks sooooo much for this interview, I looked so forward to all the Red Hook events & was heartbroken 💔 when they stopped but now knowing that the plan is to come back that adds excitement during these pandemic days and if there are livestreams that would be something I would purchase ..
    Take care & stay safe

    Great interview. I admire David Trimble's down-to-earth honest attitude (at least that's how it came across to me). I hope, like David, that this covid period gives us perspective and a desire for a future where community and the enjoyment of people, as opposed to work and business, take on greater meaning and importance. I wish him and the Red Hook Crit all the success in the future.

    hi Keira from a french cycling lover,nice video.I don't know if a RHC was organized in France but we do like urban crit too in France,it's a habit with local competition but unfortunately we don't have the culture of fixed gear here ,only on the track.See you

    Never froget our first RHC in 2013...I bought a bigger car to get my friends to milano...in the race the electricity broke down and parts of the course were dark (or brightened by cars) ... Grosu won ... 1 year later my friend stefan reimer was the first german to appear in the top 10 favorite list ... and had a mechanical in round 1... RHC was always special...#prayforsergio

    I always hoped to at least be in the audience of a RHC and in my wildest dreams, race in one and not get lapped out of the race. In the end, I came to appreciate David's hard work more than anything. I really do hope him the best.

    Fixed gear cool reached its peak in.... 2008 or so? Then Red Hook managed to stretch it until 2019 until Zach Gallardo finally killed it.
    So now we can finally go back to just scoring dirt cheap Langsters and Pre Cursa's on CL and fleabay 🙂

    Still don't understand how big sponsors, lot of spectators, 60$ entree free, no big primes and a 1k track lost somewhere couldn't work out financialy.

    • @LitNews
      @LitNews 3 роки тому +1

      It didn’t have a lot of spectators. It had low tens of thousands (and no TV). The entry fee income would be lost in the weeds. Looks like Rockstar games basically funded it. Expose the series to a global audience via UA-cam/whatever and I am certain they _could_ make it work financially a la Ironman triathlon.

  • @jumbojumb20
    @jumbojumb20 3 роки тому

    Love the crit, been watching the Brooklyn one since 2012. Hope it returns. Curious why there’s no discussion of tickets for spectators...I’d be happy to spend $20 and if others do too, that’d add a few hundred thousand to their budget

    • @KeiraMcVitty

      @@KeiraMcVitty totally! Love that idea in spirit, but then again it’s not accessible at all if it’s not running 😂 hopefully they can get the sponsors figured so it remains free and can also retain David’s high standards.
