Here we go, it's about that time. Flights out in the morning!
please be sure to measure everyone's head angle, and take pics of all the carbon bikes that spontaneously explode from looking at them... that's what the majority of the folks on this board only seem to care about. And be sure to tell all the fast guys with bikes over 40 pounds that they should consult this meeage board in order to put their bikes on a diet :rant:

the small percentage of us that love racing are PUMPED though :thumb:

what do the new skin suits look like? i heard the track is wicked fast, so people probably want so cut down on drag right? i bet everyone will be riding really wide bars, like 35 inches too, with all the corners and big bumps!

So with my math, 14:00 CET is 6am Mountain/US. Anyone want to double check that?

Could be a very nice morning....if it all works! I'm stoked!

Towing the party line.
Any pictures of Strait or Delfs on the new Pivot DH Bike? :shocked:
I'll be shooting all of the pivot team stuff, so look for some shots early this week. Word is that it will probably be a wet race day, but may be some sunny bits before then. First maribor in the wet in a long time I believe! The rocks will be interesting.

All this talk about first time wet conditions in Maribor...

Wasn't it pissing and muddy as hell there for qualifying last year?
Dried out come Sunday, Barel stuck to the spikes and laid the smack down?

Dear Freecaster,

If you are reading this, just want to say that the sign up and payment for the WC broadcast was easy peasy.

And while I was there I watched the replay of the top 5 from last years Maribor race. Nice way to get some stoke going for sure.

If the broadcast is good, then I think the $2.60AUD is damn reasonable. it would cost me twice that to go and rent Dirty Dancing.

just Santa Cruz...
I will pay... we will see if the feed holds.

Unfortunately if the feed is as hit and miss as years past, this could sink freecaster. I would really miss live video coverage. Like really really.

bring your spikes and some fresh jerseys - it will be muddy:D

in reality weather in Austia (and Slovenia) changes a lot and the weather guys cannot predict seriously for more than 3 days, so there is still a chance for sun on Saturday and Sunday
