Dang. Looks like he's headed straight for the baptismal pool in all that white..either that or the priesthood.

Not from a hard drive apocalypse unfortunately. I managed to save a few shots, but 1600+ gone. Some wicked stuff this week too, unfortunately.
you probably tried, but did you try any recovery applications?
Ya, data rescue 2, virtual lab (a service) and some other stuff. Drive was shiutdown right after it crashed, but most of the images are corrupt. It retrieved them, but they are half images, garbled messes etc.
oh sh!t. that f'ing blows Fraser. Sorry to hear man. Gonna get a backup drive now? (not trying to sound like a smart ass). Perhaps dvd burner, or maybe something that uses solid state memory?
I have 6 external drives at the office for backup, but i didnt have anything with me on the road. In retrospect, i should have had one with me and copied to it right after ingestion. Hindsight is always 20/20 though.
I lost out on what probably amounted to a $5000 payday because of a stupid oversight, you can bet your ass in the future, i will be carrying a small portable HDD for a second backup at events. Am I bitter? No not at all....
come on man...5k? it's not my bizness though. sorry about the hd crash. that sucks.
can we get a new mod for the DH forum. Fraser...you're going postal on the boys that have fed this thing for a long, long time. Maybe it's time for you to go back to being a contributor as opposed to a detractor. Take a step back brother. Breathe.
Getting your pissy on at Luc and Spomer?
We know you are upset about what's gone down with your job, but relax.
PEACE,

I had a bunch of stuff lined up before I even left (editorial, commercial, copy & a team photoshoot for their year's worth of marketing deliverables.) It was going to be a massive week for me. I'll make a few hundred bucks after expenses now, if I'm lucky.©2001;2543596 said:
And on the hd sucks part, I whole-heartedly agree. Lesson learned.
just playing devil's advocate... but how is posting all the updates and photos (the ones he still has) from the world cup in Spain being a detractor and not a contributor? :huh:
frasers a big boy. he gets the joke.
I have no sense of humour today. I left it in Spain at customs.
ahhh I was wondering who that was. sick pic for sure.
sam blenkinsop is the definition of style
Yeah but he cheats at Fußball.
did they have to make a "ahem" emergency hatch inspection?
1920×1200 ?
Anyone know what happened to Fabien?
He crashed multiple times this weekend, hard.
From Fabiens page:
For the 3rd year in a row in Vigo , the organisation prepared a track even faster and more spectacular than the preceding ones. We found unstable and sandy soil in the middle of the trees, where we attempted speeds of 60km/h.
It has been almost a year since I have ridden in a World cup. A year off of the pressure that make us fly over our limits.
Friday was marked by a big crash in the middle rocks. I had to stop training for the day as I had a big Ematum on the leg, but fortunately, it would not effect the next day. I used that time to finalize my lines and get ready for the qualification. The next day the Run in Qualification showed me that I had the speed to be back at the top with the 3rd split time. The Speed, but not the concentration, as I made a Mistake which put me off track before the end of the run.
On Sunday, all the riders arrived at the top of the track in Order of the preceding run. But rain showers started to break the serenity of everyone. This rain transformed the race into a lottery of which I was not the winner. I started in really muddy and slippery conditions. I ended up in the 24th place which did not satisfy me. I realzied from this weekend that I still have the speed and the motivation to get through and I know that results will come in the next rounds.
Next round in Champery, Switzerland the 9th and 10th of June

Love that quote.
I ain't buying it. #2-#6 reads out like it would at a bone dry event.
Remove Beaumont's name and Vegas would be proud of those odds.
Beaumont has been on the podium many a time, do not count the kid out, ever. (note I had him getting 2nd in my otb)
wouldn't doubt a Brit. I'm saying Fabien just didn't perform. The top guys in the rain were all the same.Beaumont has been on the podium many a time, do not count the kid out, ever. (note I had him getting 2nd in my otb)
I saw a really great video on Freecaster with hightlights of the Downhill as well as the 4X finals for men and women. I saw the video yesterday in the morning and now it is nowhere to be found. Anyone else seen it?
dont know about the freecaster video. but clays porters at it again.

Cully has a full time job, he does not race bikes.
yea i got the newsletter, sick vid, graves cracks me up everytime
Sure yeah, clever?!? Have a look at last years podium in Vigo, dry all weekend perfect race conditions, no weather lottery. And who was in 4th...........that's right Marc Beaumont.
Mont Sainte Anne '05...he got third. He had more then 1 podium last year. And he finished up 5th in the World rankings, yeah that's right he is number 5 in the world and at the moment holds the leaders Jersey in the 2007 WC.
I know he aint Sam Norris or Chuck Hill, but he is one of the fastest riders in the World regardless of weather, I mean Matti Lehikoinen's first WC podium was a win. Beaumont was there before.
Jesus would swear I was a fan boy or something, lets get a Marc Beaumont random fact generator. OMG are Marc's Fox 40's wider then stock............proto shocker.........here comes 14 pages of bull.
Our dh video should be available sometime tonight (CET) at frontlinemag.net
