podi-yum?heading there tomorrow, need to visit knolly bikes first to get something nice
yessss 
sweetness. a couple buddies are on them now. solid, slammed & slack. i've never ridden something so low (13.25" bb on the one i measured). just badass. i think you'll like it.yessss
we were riding w/ noel on the weekend & had 4 podiums in the truck; radness.
Yea I also think she will dominate this season too. Should be a fun watch what she can do after having to sit out a full year.
Just signed up on paycaster.....a whopping NZD2.50.
Looking forward to this one.
Looking forward to this one.
Prioritize my man, prioritize. You let her win this one and she'll expect it your whole lives. Lay it down from the beginning.
Congrats!
I'm ok with the paying. The guys at Freecaster has done awesome jobs in previous years, so they've earned it.
I've paid up, but if the stream is crap on this one, it may well be a Freecaster killer for sure.
And yes, bring Fabien into the booth with Rob. That would be the duo.
Looks dry right now ....

However, it won't be on saturday. Better wether prognosis for race day - the Sunday!!
Just FYI, the week after WC ther is a UCI Class1 race on same track, and 2 weeks after OPEN Slovenian Championships. The track will be destroyed after the WC is gone.
well, the weather is changing all the time. it's sunny at the moment, but we had two serious downpours already today. the track dries quickly, but i doubt that it will dry out completely till sunday, there's some mixed weather forecasted for tomorrow, too. we'll see....
hey fraiser how about some updates and snapshots?
I'm very limited to where I can go on the web here at work, is Sam Hill hurt? With the wet weather he stands a good chance to win. The wet also decreases Kovarik from having a killer run, too bad.

Nothing much going on. Nothing starting here until Friday, course walk tomorrow at some point. Been raining on and off today.
Not as many as '08: 324 (290 + 34) raced back then!
Which out of interest, makes it by far the most populous DH world cup in recent years: http://www.rootsandrain.co.uk/organiser21/uci/?s2=4
Will be adding the 2010 results to the site as soon as possible, though I'll be at a race myself, so likely not until 8pm GMT on Sunday (midday pacific time, at a guess).
Seb, is that your site? F'ing awesome!!
Fraser, and pics of the Pivot DH bikes?
The pivot Dh bikes are currently in a van on their way form the munich airport!
How about some pit pictuces tomorrow.
WTF?!@ No pics of the plane they landed on or the van driving down the highway?!?!? WC Photo coverage is really going down hill.
At least Perkin got shots of the SRAM truck
If it isn't raining sure, people are just rolling in and setting up today, it's not very exciting.
You mean like the time he didn't win Fort William in the pissing rain by 14 seconds? Or the time he didn't win MSA in the mud? Yep, he certainly does suck in the wet.
Or winning the Irish event 2 weeks ago in the slop ya ya, not a world cup, but his WC podium capable teammates were there.
I remember him killing it in West Virginia back in like '03?? Never rained in West Virginia for the Nationals back then
enough of this, sorry, back to the updates, Fraser, take some pictures of anything!!! We are all just excited about the WC season getting started. Let's get back to the steep 65 degree HA discussion
Dude, I can assure you, it's exciting.
Sitting here at a desk on the other side of the world..... now thats messed up.
Agree...To be really honest....I almost prefer pit pictures to racing pictures....The new bikes, new color team bikes.
MS Evil has an interesting team this year.
World Cup drinking night #1 in progress! Bring on the rain.
Gets some shots of Danny Hart going OTB in the pits because his Glory is so dangerously steep.

Well tell us who is looking to be still wasted in the morning... UPDATES!!!
So, quick post beer updates.
Money must be back int he race circuit, because both monster and the atherton's have massive RVs this year, not tiny sprinters.
The track is a bit different at the bottom, but largely the same everywhere else.
The weather is ****e, and no sign of getting better all week, with monsoon like conditions possible on sunday.

Proper....

I skimmed the freecaster thread but must have missed it. How long are replays available? Also is the the full race replayed? Looking forward to watching it and not complaining about paying for it but going out of town this weekend to ride.
This is going to get as old as pointing out blacked-out maxxis tires really quick
Gonna be a wet one in Maribor. Woke up to pouring rain and fog up top this morning.
Awesome. I get to watch proper racing in the comfort of my armchair!
I hate racing in rain, but love to watch it.
Going to get old...?
Maxxis tires are already black BTW, you must be thinking of these:
