Did the updated Primers session today. A couple of points:
-
Why has the cool down been dropped from the end of the video? It now abruptly finishes after the last sprint.
-
When going to the effort of updating footage, why not add music too?

Don’t even get me started on this one, Sir @sir_james.p !!
Updating the footage, i.e. completely DUMPING all the of the Knights preparing for battle and the end where the Knight on the hill stands with the flag saying CRUSH IT as we get ready for the battle the next day!
Instead we have an “auction”? I think? Is it an auction? Is it an awards ceremony? How is this new footage supposed to get us pumped up and ready for the next day’s BIG CHALLENGE?!?!
For some completely inexplicable reason this is somehow supposed to “Prime” us for a big event? AND, like you said, no music?
Seriously? What the SUF was the point of this? I totally understand no longer having the license to show cycling footage, so replacing that is one thing. But…What the SUF is going on for SUFs sake?
Edit: it would be better to make this a No-Vid! Oh wait, there already is a No-Vid version with Openers 
AND there’s Phil Gaimon’s Openers too!

Agreed, @Glen.Coutts, they have only made this workout worse. They have taken the Sufferfest out of it.
No reason to get rid of the bits you mentioned. I found the video just washed over me today. Didn’t really add anything, there was just some footage of cycling playing whilst I did a workout. Need the motivational bits with the knight in the hill back.
Hope this gets fixed.

I wouldn’t bet on it, in fact, I’d bet against it 
Also, I thought I said "Don’t even get me started…”!!!

Agree–I just did this new version and was not at all impressed. I prefer footage that puts me in the action instead of looking back at it from the front moto. I’ll have to check out the Phil Gaimon Openers because the new Primers is crap.

yeh, if this is what they’ve landed on, I’d rather just do it as a no-Vid or the Phil Gaimon one which is actually pretty good.
For anyone who wants some SUF stuff for their archives, here y’go:

@Glen.Coutts the same way that we are supposed to identity our “Big Mountain”

We don’t and it’s not.

I just watched some of each interval of this new Primers video. I have no words. Little by little, SUF is slowly being erased.

It’s become entirely clear to me that wahoo should not touch software.

So do I understand correctly that Wahoo removed the entire storyline about knights preparing for battle and replaced it with generic yay rah? I haven’t updated yet and am preparing to ride it today.

That’s exactly it. No longer any storyline, just some generic footage from a crit. I wouldn’t update if you don’t have to.

make a screencast so you can always come back to it

Yep. Do Not Update would be my recommendation as well or as Dame Isi suggests, screen cast/record it for posterity.

Should I update Full Frontal? I just downloaded almost all the Sufferfest vwrkouts and plan to make screencasts of those with suf storylines.

Iirc, it was just a few minutes of footage that was changed in that. Still though, I wouldn’t update anything unless you have no choice.

if you do so, don’t forget to turn off the numbers and set the video above graph
this way you can see the whole video and 7n case you do FF and your numbers change you don’t get irritated
just my two cents

I have just finished doing my screen recordings.
Then as a back up I have managed to find my original downloaded videos so might start putting those up with just a mini player to control the trainer.
