My #rivebroadcastingchallenge entry is a bit special as it is a real bike event from 2025, not the most complex, but where time-to-market, stability and real constraints with last-minute changes were involved.
This was the first time we used Rive but we've previously had some success using Lottie for productions with Eurosport, TNT Sports, ORF, RTS, NRK, TV3, CBC Sport, blue TV and Rai Sport so the team had unwarranted trust that my new software would not crash... And it did not crash. 😄
Instead of a graphics showreel I put the full bike ride of a team of 2 competitors on LinkedIn as it is a lot of fun to watch:

For the #rivebroadcastchallenge here’s a look back at a slopestyle/downhill bike event we did in 2025. For those that don’t know, slopestyle involves doing crazy bike tricks without falling on the head and downhill is riding doing stairs at 50+ km/h without falling on the head. Our setup: * 1 week to build all the animations and software * 1 day to install the timing equipment * 2 people to do the setup The best compliment we got was people asking if we were doing the rest of the UCI european tour which is a much bigger team. 💜 The video shows the data coming back through 5G in real time to the TV truck where I was sitting. I kept the full runs from Alanko and Agurto because they’re super fun to watch. At 2:15 you can see Agurto’s head cam in the top left. The speed looks totally different from a first-person point-of-view and I’d love to do animations in this format. Videos copyright from Castle Ride BCVS, Red Bull and @agurto1. Animations made with Rive.
