good job 😉
i’m really sorry.. really sorry.
Please make a GIF of 17:11 !
As far as hobbies go (I don’t believe this is a real sport), I think as long as you aren’t doing anything illegal that wont hurt other people, go nuts. That being said I don’t really give a damn about Americas cup other than just seeing how cool the boats look.
Team USA but no Americans.…DAFUQ?
Who cares
Nice nose job blondie
Like some hokey teams in the NHL.
17:10 is the funniest thing i’ve seen all day. Also is that the woman from CSI Miami he is talking to
perfectly matched sound background — as always. great job guys.
Oracle are cheats, GO EMIRATES TEAM NEW ZEALAND!!
LMAO, I’ve been watching the video full screen the entire time and just now popped out of it to see if anyone commented on his face. That was Priceless.
more complex than f1, LOLOLOLOL, go home, you are drunk
They don’t make them from carbon fiber or even carbontanium? Looks like the cripple like cardboard.
some one please make that a gif
Is this Discovery Channel or The Verge?
Definitely The Verge. All that Casey hears at 17:10 is: TeChnOlOgY, TeChnOlOgY, TeChnOlOgY.
This was pretty boring
but … but is it dangerous?
given the charlie rose interview with ellison, it sure seems he’s peddling calamity rather than compelling racing. this episode of top shelf certainly reinforces the idea.
but seriously, more complex than formula one? sure, the engineering challenges are as complex, but not the machinery. she lost credibility with that statement.
this was more an Oracle TeamUSA / NBC / Americas Cup infomercial than reporting. you were co-opted. sorry, but it’s true.
way better than Engadget
That face at 23:03 haha
Team NZ ftw!
Only thing I didn’t like about this was the part where deaths due to the race were compared to pedestrian deaths. That is about the most dishonest and awful way to talk about somebody who died doing your completely optional and for entertainment boat race for billionaires and I simply don’t understand how somebody with her job doesn’t understand how cold hearted that sounds.
These guys are thinking about hydrofoils the wrong way. They need to get to higher wind to fly. If they really wanted to go fast, they need to think about using hydrofoils to keep the boat down.
Team USA? I don’t think so
HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAH
TEAN USA, they all are not.
Boring.
This video, whilst excellent, is NOT about sailing! It’s the Americas Cup and that isn’t sailing as the rest of us know it.
Safety, please, the next time you want to ask about it, go skiing!
RX100 M2?
WASPiest Top Shelf ever.
oh no.…foreign crew and even a foreign designer.….what happened to the proper Americas Cup ???? were any american’s involved or just someone wanting to promote himself, his company and his ego ????? with a bunch of natives on the shore waving star and stripes flags ????
lmao i read the caption “flying boats” and i thought it was literally flying boats… like a airplane lol wow i feel kinda stupid now. i guess if a boat did fly like a airplane it wouldn’t be a boat haha
Why does he care so much about safety
