I’m not paying for Badminton tv but the small snippet they had on Facebook looked like there’s a ski type jump

I can fully recommend Badminton TV- I've spent many happy hours re-living past Badmintons in the past couple of weeks.
The course this year looks huge and terrifying. As per normal I guess!

Just finished 2013. Amazing year, Sam so unlucky with that late falling last pole!

I haven't made use of my Badminton TV subscription yet, but will be watching the 2022 coursewalk soon.
To get folk who won't be attending in person into the right mood, how about this for an indulgent purchase? The 2022 Badminton tee, a snip at £54.95.

I confess to having a secret naughty penchant for buying event logoed clothing.

Just watched the course walk and there is a big broken bridge in there! Definitely a scary looking track with also some technical questions!

Where is the course walk?
Never mind, found it.

Oh yes, the price is outrageous! I will be sensible and give it a miss.Did think that price was a bit

Equivalent to 2 cinema tickets for what's going to be around 25 hours of live coverage, plus access to all of the previous programmes. Seems like a pretty good deal to me for our niche sport.

It's the Badminton 2022 tee shirt @ £54.95 that is outrageously priced, not the bargain £14.99/£19.99 12 months subscription to Badminton TV .
I am signed up.
Though I realise that I have no idea how much a cinema ticket costs these days!

Oooofff. I worked for Joules back when those at Head Office could remember the company’s roots, ie tradestand based good quality clothing at reasonable prices.
Give it a week after Badminton and it’ll be half price on the website.

I really dislike the Joules Badminton range. Far too 'busy' for me and outrageously expensive! Wonder how much they cost to make - £3.49?
I am going for the duration as usual so haven't yet subscribed to Badminton TV but may do so to rewatch this and previous years - 2 subscriptions are cheaper than one polo shirt - crazy.

Back in the day, staff would buy clothes at ‘trade price’. I can’t remember exact figures but it was something stupid like a third of the RRP, and it would list the cost price next to it, with a small difference between the two. It was pretty cheaply made then, let alone now!

I realise everyone on here is a size 12 or under, but WHY are Joules always sold out of size 16 and up? Everyone knows they shrink so you need a size up anyway and no one wants to see my fat!
Could it be they make the same number of every size and the bigger ones sell quicker - in which case it wouldn't be rocket science to make more bigger sizes & less smaller (or make the sizes bigger/not shrink) ..............?

Just watched it - it looks like a really good course and (to me) utterly terrifying! Regardless of what AN said at the end, he looked like he'd love to have a go at a few of those combinations

Here is a good write up of the course if you don't have access to the video.

Aren't we lucky to have articulate and 'thinking' course designers like Eric who are able and willing to share the logic behind the questions. I really like the fact that he seems like he really thinks this through from a range of angles - horses POV, riders POV and wider sport's image. Wish I could just be a fly on the wall for the whole designing process!

I walked the Hartpury FEI tracks (that he designed) with him a couple of years ago, with the emphasis on course design, and it was a great experience. There were quite a few factors in fence choice, placement etc. and even varying combination distances for different stages on the course that I would never have thought about.

Bought my Badminton pass yesterday - currently watching Badders 2018.
I love the look of this year's course. Going to be interesting to watch for sure.

Loved watching the course preview and really really good it was AN discussing lines. I also think its good Harry is out first!

The broken bridge is definitely a rider frightener - or it would terrify me anyway. I'll be interested to see how it rides.

I definitely wouldn't be gagging at the bit to jump it but I think it'll actually ride fairly well! I like that the course is a bit different this year.

Just a heads up that Joules have 2022 Badminton tees on ebay in sizes 8 - 18
.This style is IMHO classier than the overly busy design pictured upthread. It does have 2022 embroidered on the back.
I've just won on ebay a new-with-tags discontinued navy Badminton tee for £32, which is still double what I normally pay for a polo shirt
. Gotta get in the mood, though .
