not sure it will help, but the properties lists the vid codec as 'Windows Media Video 9', and the audio codec as 'Windows Media Audio 9I asked: Do I need to download some special codec or something?
You answered: You may not have the correct codec.
Not really an answer is it!
32 kbps, 44 kHz, mono (A/V) 1-pass CBR'
but then again, I get no sound..so....
Have they indicated if the points awarded for qualifying are null and void now? What good is qualifying except for "those less than immortal"?
I can "kind of" understand that rule being in play for ONLY the last round of the series or something of that nature to ensure a tight race...but now if you're top 20...why qualify? Just roll down doing the "Parade Wave" and tossing out stickers...
Ya I agree, doesn't really make any sense now? Not fair to throw out those points now either, as some guys (like sam) went for the points, not the good start position.
Rule changes mid season are stupid.

sounds like pints still count the same...
the way i read it is that the WORST anyone in the top 20th can qualify is 20th. the top 20 guys will just be "reseeded" after qualifiers and run in reverse order as always... the worst placed ranked rider starts 20th, the fatstest seeded rider in qualifiers goes last.
but if the 21st ranked rider qualifies first, he would be pushed back to 21st by this new rule... but would still get 1st place qualifier points
it is a seeding run and qualifier at the same time... sort of a qualifier in a qualifier
guys can go as fast or slow as they want and choose to chase qualifier points... but no longer with tactics, flats, crashes etc send you to the back of the pack for early start times
i think it is the right thing to do in the spirit of competition, and when a guy wins no one can make excuses for him like the past 2 races

Well no, they don't have a chocie to go as fast or as slow as they want. Only reason to go slow was to be near the bottom of the qualifying list. So now they have to pin it and get the points, as the competition will be.
was kovarik not top 20 overall, so he didn't make finals based on quali? how was he not top 20 with a win last year?

uhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh
where is the sam hill fanclub PDF link at? I need a sign up
He attacked out of the gate like someone from the heavens gave him a personal guarantee he would not crash in the slop....unreal.
I was wondering the same thing. He may have been out of the top 20 overall due to it being early in the season and he didn't seem to do too many other events. Although, i am not sure if they base the top 20 on the World Cup overall, or UCI points?©2001;2570141 said:
No shiit. That was some angry riding....even at the bottom section, he flat bottomed to the final straight...crazy.
and 25 seconds slower on the second half of the courseHelloooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo?
Damien Mermoud - 4.2 seconds quicker at the split than Hill in qualifying, when Hill stamped 15seconds into everyone else? No-one interested?!
yea well look at this guy!
62 173 FRA19900423 THIRION Remi° 0.0 4:50.51
see he teleported to the split, looks like he crashed after though, shame.

A few riders had no split time, same in qualifying.
becasue Hill could have gone far more than 15 seconds faster, considering what he had up his sleeve later in the day i would doubt his semi-final was his best effort.
besides, only Barel fans care about who wins the split race

split times might have gone rong me thinks, btw that policeman vids pretty good, nice tash.
qualifying times mean jack....splits from qualifying even less...
from the looks of it Sam caught Greg in the semi. . . . wow!
And look that : http://www.tsr.ch/tsr/index.html?siteSect=500000&channel=sport#page=lastvideos;vid=7911684

Humm.. I think that video is from practice?
^ Ya, and when GM got up, he looked like his dislocated shoulder was feeling great too.
Sam and Greg had a completely different line through that section. Greg didn't look happy at all.
stik got post 666. coincidence?
edit: forgot the
to emphasize this is in good fun.
Skiing does a reverse top thirty, meaning they take the results from the first run and reverse them, so the first place person goes thirtieth and the thirtieth person goes first. so in mountain biking, take the first fifteen or thirty finishers from qualifying and reverse them.
Always...love me some fun.©2001;2570388 said:stik got post 666. coincidence?
edit: forgot the
I wanted 666, then I am gonna try for 777 because I saw a boxvan once of a skate team with jesus on back door and #777 on side-sick.
Think you got that one backwards...it goes like this "Peat was leading Barel at the split...until he slid out....he would have won too!"
photos up...

Because he didn't race finals.
is the new rule good or bad for racing?
discuss it in one place for everyone to see (you can remain anonymous: http://www.littermag.com/fastgetfaster/discuss/discuss.htm
if the discussion turns into a sh!tshow, no biggie, i just think there are some interesting thoughts on both sides...put it down.
