I think I need to drink more absinthe, and in larger quantities
2012 UCI World Cup DH Live Video

- Start date
Just imagine the ridiculous **** that would come out of warners mouth if he drank absinthe in the booth while announcing
I can't tell if that's a joke or not
I doubt there's any booze you can get in utah that you can't get in the north east.
The guys that make it are pretty good about distribution these days. Hanger 18/St George......all the same place.......all good stuff.
the only place to get liquor and normal strength beer is the state store, which is thankfully a block from the hotel i stay at. anywhere else the beer is crap.I can't tell if that's a joke or not
That requires a stop at my place for the World Cup's!
Bloody Mary's and Bacon will commence at our place again with Pietermartzburg - IF they are showing online again.
from dirt's 2012 WC preview comments - looks like some info coming this week: http://dirt.mpora.com/news/2012-downhill-world-cup-preview.html
Looks like official news comes down from RedBull Media House today. You'll all be pretty happy I think, stay tuned.
Someone will find a way to be disappointed
awesome! nothing like leaving it to the last minute
Actually, not sure they will with this one. Unless of course, you are morally opposed to caffeine, or work as a world cup filmer.
challenge accepted.

No mention of Warner, other than that, sounds pretty good.

I'm pretty sure they know not getting Warner is a PR equivalent od dropping the soap in prison.
Warner confirmed on twitter that he will be commentating. As good as it sounds compared to last year it sucks big time that there are just 6 races and no 4x.
Other question:
Will it be free? Will there be a replay?
It's also clear now why they signed Aron Gwin. They want to see their guy on the top step in their broadcasts in their TV channel.

Will be funny with Hill on top of the podium this year
people were saying that hill would be back on top this time last year too.Will be funny with Hill on top of the podium this year
It would be sad if Sam became a 2nd Kovarik.
It would be, he really is a sick rider.
Yes, but I don't think / hope that this will happen. Even Minaar had bad years during his shoulder injury.
Actually I like Hill almost the most on the WC circuit, on and off his bike. Fast, quiet and a bit of a mystery.

free, yes. replay no idea but i'd imagine so.
“@j7m: @robwarner970 That is great news, can't wait. Is it still going to be free to watch it live?” yeah and worlds too.

that would be very sad indeed. I wondering why he seems to have "slowed down so much":
injury comes to mind, but I'm wondering about the psychological aspects of his mega crash at Fort Bill. I dont care who u are: have a big enough stack, and it's gonna start playing mind games. And at this, and every other WC riders pace, those stacks tend to fall on teh side of epic.
I'm wondering if he had nerve damage with all these shoulder injuries like Rach Ath, takes years for that to heal if it ever does.....100% speculation.....
Sam will be the next kovarik? Not to be a douche, but how many wc's did kovarik win? in how many years? How many world champs?
If sam never successfully makes a comeback, he'll still be in a league of his own.
But I'm betting money he'll be a regular podium contender/top spot contender just like minnaar and gee will in the coming year. Last year he came back injured like mick hannah, and it didn't pan out. This year he seems to be coming back pretty damn fit.

Rob Warner just twitted that he will b commentating! Stoked!
2000-2002 Kovarik was as big as they get. A contender to whip everyone at every race. Was in a league of his own as far as agressive style. Yes....he didn't have the results in total that Hill has had, but when he fell off after injury he could never find that dominating form again. Kovarik did win MSA after he completely destroyed his leg, but on the whole he was never the same...
you mean like danny hart? Because from what I remember, sam hill wasn't just a contender to whip everyone at every race, he actually DID whip everyone at every race. For a couple years in a row. The only male who has more champ trophies then him is nico (I think?)
I donno, I guess I'm just pointing out that sam wasn't a flash in the pan, even if he never rides as fast again, he'll still be one of the most dominating riders ever!

Check this out:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chris_Kovarik
And he still holds the record for largest winning margin from Ft. Bill with over 14 sec.
The point that the others are trying to make is that he was on a roll and on the edge of greatness (similar to early Sam Hill) but got slower after he f***d up his leg in a dirtbike accident.
I think he'll be back on the podium. Maybe not as dominating, but definitely fast enough to compete. yYou also have to say he didn't get slower, everyone else became faster.
are you talking champs or overall?
sam only has 2 overall titles. peat and minnaar both have 3 each. nico has 5.
Kovarik also raced in the era of "Substandard Gear", there was good gear and lousy gear, there were at least a half dozen races and maybe more where he blew up wheels, doubles flats......stuff like that.
Probably on courses where he was trying to go mental and his gear couldn't take it.
Not comparing Hill and Kovarik. This started while talking about 'post injury' fall off.....time will tell with Hill.

None of their other live events have had replay.....makes me skeptical.
Then someone should capture it
I think it's funny how people have given up on Hill. The man has been dealing with serious injuries for two years and now people think he's not a contender. Now that he's healthy again, we will see if the speed is still there or not. I for one, believe it's there and he wants to prove all you naysayers wrong. As he would say, "It's business time!"
see that's the thing, the last 2 years i've heard a lot of "he's gonna be back in top form", and that has truly yet to materialize. which is a real shame, since he's one of my fav riders to watch, and when he's on his A game, he's got an A game that few others have.
