They weren't kidding about being in the jungle.

90 km/hr? Really?

canadmos · Apr 20, 2014

Everything except for the ending looks pretty sweet. Should be some good views for the cameras?

Clean your ears.

BigBoi · Apr 20, 2014

More importantly, what time is it televised on Red Bull TV on the East Coast of the USA?

CBJ · Apr 20, 2014

That did look really good and Mick made it look easy. Liked the sales pitch too beaches and mountain biking not a bad combination.

It totally is D1 ha! I got bit by a poisonous spider right on my *ss in queensland once...not fond memories...I do dig the world cup is getting back into some of the these locations. Looks like this will be a tough race for the photogs to cover, might be tough to move about the track and get angles...

I think that makes for an exciting weekend, lots of tire clipping background sounds in sven's slideshows.

supercow · Apr 20, 2014

It's tropical conditions, race could be bone dry... just like the "raincoats required" PMB race.

kidwoo · Apr 20, 2014

I know fisheyed pov cams exaggerate it but some of those fast narrow sidehill sections with plenty of tree beams are going be fun since the advent of +28" handlebars. Especially if it's all snotty.

Looks like another turny champery track for elves.

Danny Hart's got this one.

Troy Brosnan's got this one. :d

ftfy.

kidwoo · Apr 20, 2014

Him too

I predict mick hannah's head is just going to explode from pedaling so ungodly fvcking hard he wants to win this race so badly.

Da Peach · Apr 20, 2014

I wonder how fast they go on that track.

Looks like at least 70 km/hr.

Or explodes when he's pipped by Gwin and troy. His look when Gwin did him last weekend said it all.
Should be a good one...

I couldn't find that page the other day, only when the xc stuff was on. Since your so smart and i'm clearly lazy, can you tell what 12:15 EDT means for me? Thanks Dick.

ritche · Apr 20, 2014

is the cairns dh race track enduro evoable? hehehe

is it the same track EC rode 4th place, he would give tips for Gwin and Troy,

Advantage for Peaty? remaining/ surviving rider who have raced cairns, what was his place? but that was
so looong time ago.

velocipedist · Apr 20, 2014

EDT=eastern daylight time vs EST= eastern standard time.

Ridemonkey is never lacking for a$$holes..

Yeah, I would say 70+km/hr. They did say 90km/hr in the video but that might be pushing it a bit.

Would be great to see Palmer and Vouilloz battle it out again, just for old times sakes. And yeah, Peaty might be the only guy who raced it all those years ago in 1996. That said, is Bas de Bever still riding?

I'm expecting to see some of the older Aussie riders come out of the woodwork for this one: maybe Michael Ronning, Sean McCarrol , Rennie, Kovarik etc. Should be interesting.

Vas is coach of the Dutch BMX team, and rides DH sometimes if he has time

Also, the XC course is causing controversy for being 'too technical'. Hopefully there won't be too many people walking their bikes down the course...

This is pretty steep:View attachment 115330 From here: http://flowmountainbike.com/post-all/worlds-in-the-tropics-cairns-world-cup-and-world-champs-cross-country-course-preview/

what's this? world cup xc racers are actually expected to mountain bike?!?! the horror.

jesus, click on the effing link that says DOWNHILL FINALS, not on xc, there you will see a countdown, with a little bit of math you can estimate what time it will be in YOUR timezone...

To save yourself the time and agony of your lengthy response, next time simply write 12:15am and save us both the trouble. Thanks again! Why so complicated?

if you launch off one of the lizards and do a barhump you automatically win

And this is 1995 by someone not paid to ride a mountain bike for a living.

I think he's hoping that if he shows you how to figure it out for yourself then you won't have to come and ask on every single WC thread for the rest for the rest of the year....

Seriously though- redbull's site will detect what timezone you're in when you connect and give you a schedule for your time here: http://live.redbull.tv/

that's easy big head, i live in a different timezone than you and it's not 12:15am for me? that's why red bull put on the count down in the first place...
