strobel = 20th?
jeez he can really turn it on at the big races. even injured.
He was out for a while too wasn't he? Is this his first race back?
Man, Sam sounds super excited
That was pretty good coverage! Too bad it wasn't on real TV over here.
haha sam hill! yea i dont ride in the wet, so i just ride it likes its dry and it works for me.
and yea i held back in qualifing, i had some sneekier lines i didnt want people seein and everyones filming and taking pictures of qualies so i saved it for the race today and it worked out for me, haha!

That was mtb/interweb heaven
too bad it wasn't available AT ALL over here in the US. look for a post of mine about boycotting various sponsors of that crappy WCSN website shortly. also thinking about contacting the UCI to a) voice my displeasure at their unconscionable decision to give WCSN sole coverage in the US, and b) inquire as to what it would cost to buy those specific rights. wonder if freecaster/cycling.tv/etc have any info on how much the rights would be to add on the US to their coverage...
Demomonkey & Whoops: You up early for this eh? Now you have to go to work red-eyed!
He was so laid back he was horizontal.
At a guess, they probably do and decided it was too much
well then maybe we'll just have to convince them it would be worthwhile to do so.
MTB Cut is officially one of he best websites. I only wish I could have figured out the proxy junk before Sam Hill's run. Oh well, at least I got to see like the top 30 or so. My heart almost jumped out of my chest on Barel's run. SO CLOSE... Big props to Luke Strobel for finishing 20th with a crash. Not Bad!
He doesn't generate a lot of power, but his dw-link doesn't waste much..Hill in first by 8 seconds.
Still can't believe how skinny he is . . . no idea where he generates any power.
BTW, nice stubby visor there, Sammy.
heh
I watched the live feed on mtbcut and I'm in the US. I just had to use a german proxy. I can deal with using a proxy for a few hours every year to watch the races. Although I agree that the lack of legal (?) US coverage is lame.
hey does any one know what JD time was? how far was he out of first?
for some reason I got nothin' on any of the proxies I tried. tried connecting to everything I could find for 2 hours and finally gave up.
Swanguen? +4.01. Full results at Sicklines.com
I can't believe I forgot to try and proxy MTBcut.
had the same problem while following all the directions given by various people here, then realized i still had the "auto-detect proxy settings" box checked as well. fixed that and was good to go
Gee Atherton
who won or is currently winning, i cant get it to play
Hill and Jonnier both repeated.
curious what the crowds reaction was to Barel's finish...were they pulling for him or are they largely a pro- Sam Hill crowd?
That's the DON!!!!Gee Atherton
I really enjoyed watching live downhill on a big screen tv for a change. Best moment for me was Hill being in attack mode and the camera catching him tearing up one of the berms - He didn't even use the berm! Watching Fabien at the split was nail biting stuff.
Imo fort bill is all about the top half of the track. The bottom is all fast stuff anyway, so it's hard to milk any more time out of it.
I thought the dude that crashed and ended up finishing his run with his arse on display was classic!

Hill's winning run is on freecaster for those who missed it. . . same footage as the the live feed.
yep, and dont forget that Ruaridh also took the Junior DH, also on a Sunday.
Sunday domination!
