[Ray-Freecaster]

The Freecaster team is in SA and we're looking forward to bringing you great LIVE action throughout the year. Servers have been upgraded and if the Internet connection in SA doesn't let us down, all should be good for the first LIVE of the season tomorrow.

As an appetiser, enjoy the Fox Racing Shock course walk

During the LIVE you'll be able to ask questions to our commentators Rob Warner and Troy Manering. Post your questions here. I can't promise we can post and answer all your questions though.

Should you encounter any problems to access the LIVE, please check that

• you have the lastest version of Flash
• you have a good Internet connection. We can't do a low quality stream from SA and you'll need at least 2 mbit/s ADSL to follow the stream without problems

You can also send us feedback at support@freecaster.tv. When reporting problems always mention your operating system, the name and version of your web browser, your location, the speed of your Internet connection which can be tested using this link

Enjoy the LIVE

Ray

Can't wait. When will there be Rob Warner fan T-shirts available?

 

[rayhaan]

Hey Ray and all the guys at freecaster, thanks for all the hard work you guys put in to enable us to watch the downhill world cup series live! It's amazing, never thought it would happen!! keep up the good work.

 

[ciszewski]

edit;nvm

Oh and I, like everybody else,s really appreciates the work you guys put in all season long.

 

[mrpercussive]

this is going to be so sick!!!

 

[adrock33]

Is there anyway that you guys can have full replays? I work on Sundays.

 

[MDJ]

Sweet, but...what a tease. I can't get past 3:15 on the course walk. Rob's face is stuck in a pose like he's trying hard to push one out.

 

[Total Heckler]

Thanks so much freecaster.

This is going to be so rad! I am super bummed I wont be able to watch this race live. Looking forward to the highlights!

 

[dh-noob]

freecaster is my no. 1!!!! *inlove* haha great. hopefully the servers will not break down, because of the high number of viewers....

 

[norbar]

Big respect for all the work you do guys. Hope the net connection in my hotel can take it. The whole thing starts just 15min after the last cable car goes up here so I'll have good motivation to ride faster on my last run of the day

where are you? in france?

 

[the desmondo]

Freecaster, we are not worthy!

 

[Eggzoi]

Freecaster, I love you guys. Only request would a bigger list of timezones down the bottom, not just UK and US. I know you provided GMT so it's pretty easy to do the conversion but there are a lot of stupid/lazy people in the world.
Specifically Australia please, I'm lazy.

haha, same here. hope the wireless in this hotel in turkey will be fast enough.
but id rather be riding my bike than sitting on the beach!!!

 

[Prettym1k3]

They're doing awards for Ladies XC right now.

Where is the DH!?!?!? AHhhhhhhhhhhhhh!!!!

 

[dh-noob]

DH on sunday... not saturday

 

[Eggzoi]

So, is the stream astonishingly horrible for anyone else? I'm getting maybe 2 seconds at a time. 12 mbit connection.

Not too bad here , a few short pauses so far. Watchable. I'm on a 1.5Mbit connection which I thought would be no go.

 

[Eggzoi]

Strange, I've run a couple of connection tests and my net is running fine at at least 6 mbits.

 

[stiksandstones]

was perfectly watchable here in sunny so cal.

Only issue I had was when I went to FULLSCREEN, I could go back with ESC key, but could not make it large again, had to refresh page.

 

[tgreathead]

Is it already over? I've been trying to connect since 8:10 and it never loaded, the circle just spun. Now its saying the DH time to come back for. UGGGG, so bummed

 

[LMC]

it was perfect for me, aside from 2 momentary glitches in the mens semi

 

[jsk14]

perfect for me as well, cedric gracia impressed me quite abit considering he had a blown knee.

JG is on fire.

 

[Resident Alien]

I'd also love to see a full replay. Call me lazy or uncommitted, but after a long week of work, i like to sleep in on Sundays.

 

[luiz carlos]

From Littermag:

"Unfortunately despite what freecaster may claim the coverage will not be fully live. They will only show the end of the track where it joins the 4X live. The rest of the run is prerecorded from Fridays quali. (Editor's note, I don't know if Sven is trying to be funny or if this is true."

I hope this is a joke.

 

[tgreathead]

Once again I'm having problems viewing, anyone able to watch right now?
I get the message "Thanks for watching' on the screen, no video

 

[Zark]

Only issue I had was when I went to FULLSCREEN, I could go back with ESC key, but could not make it large again, had to refresh page.

User error you can doubleclick the stream and launch full screen.

 

[mattmatt86]

it just says "thanks for watching"

 

[tgreathead]

it just says "thanks for watching"

Whew, as long as I know its not just me, thanks

 

[tgreathead]

Okay, either they got waaay ahead of schedule or the times were off cause I just found this:

Uploaded 2 hours ago, guess we missed it

 

[Pete..]

It ended around 7 AM Pacific time

 

[tgreathead]

It ended around 7 AM Pacific time

Wow, I'm an idiot. Just realized it said PDT, not PST.
