...I was in the van with Lopes, Warner and Matthias for about the first 45 men. I haven't laughed that hard in a LONG time. In fact, you probably heard me.
He, yea we heard you!!
Thanks again! Great show, commentators were the best.

You have no idea how stoked i am to hear people were digging this. I have been putting this project together for 3 months with the crew at freecaster. They busted their asses (and budgets) to make it happen.

Email them, let them know you loved it. I am pushing for a bigger team to help alleviate some technical glitches we had this week.
Email sent. This thing ruled, although I never was able to gt it to run through the freecaster site directly. Had to go through the bikemagic link for some reason.

This was so different than just reading about it in Dirt, it gave life to it. TV don't get to be more alive than this was, truly with the spirit of DH as Missy Giove described it (on how and when DH got started and how they didn't want it to be a stiff muddy equivalent of the road/XC organizations).




For anybody that wants to holla at the Freecaster crew:

Ohh yeah, almost forgot, one of the best comments of the day:

"Here comes Americas fastest woman!" -Rob Warner commenting on Duncan Riffle...

Sorry...I forgot.
The same live freecaster coverage for Andorra next WC stop? With Warner and Cedric again?
Warner and Matthias are our commentators. Cedric and BL just graciously volunteered their services. They will probably be back for Andorra as they seemed to have a ton of fun doing it.

For those of you in Andorra... Freecaster Party at Ced's bar in La Massanna.

Nice to see Vink in top 20.

Also stoked for Pugin up there with the top betties. Honored to shared a podium with her at Alpes d'Huez few years back. Quite the shredder.

LOL, listing for the Maxxis team in UCI results. Biters! hehe.

Thanks to all involved in the coverage. My video never matched up with the sound but it didn't matter so much, Warner, Matthias, Lopes and Cedric were about the best commentators I can think of, funny but also with some insight for those not involved in the sport.

The server load was MUCH higher than expected, the servers are still choking. Sorry guys. We have more hardware on order for Andorra to make sure this doesn't happen again.

Just think how fast sam would have been without MC Hammers pants.
On a serious note thanks to everyone who put this together it was fantastic seeing all this live. The answer to Warner & CG discussion on Hills speed was quite clear after watching a couple of hours of coverage then seeing him disappear into the woods after the start double, berm then right, left..hes just simply quicker on every corner on the course. The way he cut tighter on that simple right left was noticeably quicker than the majority, then multiply that by whatever..

I also sent freecaster an email. Thanks to Transcend and all the others that made it possible! Being able to see a WC race live is cool.

Thanks... stayed up till 1:30am to watch, spent 20 mins trying to get ANY sort of feed and then went to bed to cry myself to sleep.

(not bitching - afterall... free coverage is free, just sad)
