Hello all from sunny Willingen.

It´s pissing down and I can not type for **** on this keyboard. The race site is starting to get a bit busy, weather is ghey! I'm off to hit the luge and then go back to the hotel for a swim and sauna! It's a hard life.

The "pros" are coming into town now, haven't walked the track yet but it has changed from last year, how much? I don't know.

Will walk it tomorrow and let you guys know more, for now I'm off.
One good thing about Willingen is the Snichtzel!


Tsuchh!

Yeah, I am hearing it is pissing now and has been pissing for 2 weeks straight.
Give Al Gore a call and report the weather to him.

Looking forward to your updates-we want them every hour on the hour.

Well, just walked the track, it is nearly the same as last year, but it is hard now unlike last years soft ****e, scary flat in spots but some good looking sections, very industrial, uber deutschland and all that.

Now for the bad bits, the lifts are gay, slow and uncovered. It snowed up-top a few hours ago. they still haven't finised the bottom section, 1 foot of soft **** and huge jumps for the sake of huge jumps, if it is dry we could be lucky, if not we are fooked!!!

The pits are getting busy now, i'm off for some Bratwurst.

Auf Wiedersein!

Right Gents,
Just finished morning practice, the top section here is real good, although flat as fook, it flows well and if you get the back sides of all the landings then carrying speed is easy. Lower down the "tech" sections in the forest are real fun with loads of possibilities for some creative and crazy line choices. After a small road gap you come out into the lower field and from here it is a joke.

There is a t least a foot of muck and **** in places, and they just finished building a whole load of jumps which at the moment are 100% unclearable. From what I hear they is going to be war at the riders/team meeting tonight.

But on the plus side the sun is out and is set to stay out!

As for the fast lads this morning, Neethling and Atkinson look good, Kovarik was on his VPX/freeride Intense thing and flying. Rennie was coasting over the biggest gaps with the most ease. Barel is the boss in the tech sections, I'm gonna go up now and watch some top 80 practice. Might be good enough to bring you guys back a photo or two!

And for Stikman, I'm parked right across from Monk in GT/Mongoose pits, I can abuse him if you want!!!!

Give 'er Wavin and Rag the Beast.

Auf Widersehen.
