First reports are starting to trickle in from the last world cup until September...guess what? RAIN! No big surprise there.

A few changes to the Dh course, could get slick as **** if the rain continues.

Nico is a no show and the new sections on the Dh course are extremely steep, a la champery according to Heimdal. Apparently Hill is loving the changes, as if (when?) it rains it could be the same type of situation as champery in these sections.

Should have some photos in shortly. I'll update the thread here when we do.

like they really need to make that course play into hill's strengths any more than it already does... two years ago he went in the rain and schooled a bunch of guys that came down on a drier track.

Strobel for the win!

I think Lance Armstrong has a better chance of beating Sam Hill than Luke Strobel, at Schladming anyway.

They bought the bus for Palmers comeback (He just got 2 new intense bikes ya know).

 

[Whoops]

Did you see the gold sequined jacket hanging by the third top bunk bed? I think SP is back already.

 

[Gobig]

Another killer long first straight from Saxena! Did UCI fire him yet?

Why do you say that, is Schladming flat? Luke pins it.

 

[SteezyWeezy]

Why do you say that, is Schladming flat? Luke pins it.

i think its the other way, this course has very little pedaling, sams dream

 

[bikerpunk98199]

lukes a pinner will see he's quick and he pumps like no tomorrow

Don't matter...4x is on it's last pulse.
BMX is where its at yo...or huckflipping.

 

[lockstock]

From what was on Kintner's site she said the 4X looked pretty good, and as for the downhill playing into Sam's hands, i guess you're right the harder the course the more obvious the gap will be between the best and the rest.

 

[DylanDeanDesign]

.or huckflipping.

i prefer to call it "Fluckers" = Flip Huckers

the meds are feelin gooooooooood now at 2am! woot woot!

 

[Whoops]

mix some alcohol in there and you'll really be flying!

(but seriously kids, drugs and alcohol don't mix)

 

[ÆX]

[JohnnyBoyDH]

That MS/Intense bus is crazy....good to see some $$$ being thrown around again in DH! *sniff* reminds me of the good 'ol days of kick azz pits set up everywhere by everyone *sniff*

Fraser...get on it and find us some pics!

Edit: Palmer and Nico (and Beneke!) on the scene again....dare to dream! Do I hear Cully whining about the race/course/organizer/missing his start time in the back ground? haha.

 

[Transcend]

That bus is crazy. I think i heard the guy say it was a multisport investment, which would make sense as I believe they also run a ski team and some other stuff.

Workin on pics now, everyone is on those pay as you go computer deals in lobbies, and all fo them so far have had locked USB ports??? Kathy is supposed to fire me over some stuff when she gets settled tonight.
