Course walk with Rob Warner is up on Freecaster
Just realised that MTBcut aren't showing it live, due to costs. Shame that. Ah well, Freecaster it is!
There's a tour of the Intense bus with Mati too.
Freecaster is really boosting the sport with their coverage.
Just got through with hooking up the Laptop to the Theater Room. Running a little test, I watched the Seeding runs on Freecaster and thought I would take a pic of Fraser on the Big Screen!!! Thanks for bringing this to us Live Fraser and Freecaster TV!!!!
A shot of the setup. Yes I am going to Geek out and ride the road bike while I watch the race...

Agreed that what Fraser/Freecaster is doing rules!!! It will definitely spark much more interest in DHing here in the States if there's that much more exposure - and quality stuff at that. KEEP IT UP!!!
Does anyone know if we'll be able to watch the junior mens race aswell?
Hey guys, thanks so much for the awesome feedback on the Freecaster videos. The entire team here at all of the World Cups and World Championships is giving it everything we've got, and I think we're doing our best to use your feedback to make each event's coverage better and better.
As far as the juniors go--we are working with the tv crew today to have them record the juniors' runs onto our dv deck, and if everything goes smoothly, we'll be able to put some clips online from the junior's race (although I don't think it will be part of the live broadcast).
Thanks again for all the support, and enjoy the live broadcast today!

Holy crap, I'm bigger than life size on that thing. Sweet!
Like I've been saying, don;t thank me. I put the program together, but someone else is paying and many other people are spending long hours shooting, editing and dealing with foreign tv crews and internet connections.
The most heard thing in Italy this week I've had to deal with "Is not possible".
Oh and it's worlds, but the show ain't over yet. 3 world cups and crankworx to go!

Oh PS, T - 8 hours and counting.
Warner said "avarage gradient of 45°". Not very likely true... That´s a 7 to 10 relation, vertical/hypotenuse.
Today is the big day. To ensure all runs smoothly ...
We have posted a 'shout' which will allow all to cheer up Rob and Tim while watching the live. You can use your Ridemonkey nickname if you want.
These companies make it all possible:Specialized, MySpace, akamai (stream servers) and Universal Sports
Finally email us the photo of you watching the stream or of your set-up and we will send a pair of Oakley to the best pic.
Enjoy !!

- ensure you have the latest version of Flash9 on your computer (preferably a Mac ;-) )
- check the speed of your internet connection http://www.speedtest.net/ If you don't have at least 1.2 mbit/s you'll struggle as we encode our stream at 900 kbit/s to ensure quality
- set your alarm clock ... the countdown on the Freecaster player should show the start time for your location
- have a supply of beer and red bull
- tune in to http://freecaster.com/live/1000188_1004965
- be patient when initially logging in as our servers will have to handle many requests at once. Don't refresh unless nothing happens for 3 minutes. Once you're in, the player might buffer, but don't touch it, it will automatically resume playing
- don't hesitate to use the full screen button for a better viewing experience

Any suggestions as to what to do if the audio and video get out of sync? Seems to happen for me during live feeds.
saaawheeeeeeet.
I couldn't reproduce the problem nor did akamai. I suggest in that case to click on stop in the player navigation and then play again to let the player resync. Don't refresh the entire page. Hope it all works !
will 4x be streaming live as well ?
Hopefully these Freecaster tips will work for me, as all of a sudden I can't play the clips anymore, after the Braun commercial, it just doesn't start playing, I need to see this live!
52min! 
Tree pads - can understand at regional/national level as there's a lot of muppets like myself who would nail themselves without, but at world champs level it seems a bit wrong. The sport is supposed to be dangerous, supposed to be exciting, and these are the worlds best riders, and we're wrapping them all up in cotton wool effectively. 300 pads on the course? next thing you know they'll cover all the rocks with bubble-wrap!
Is there any chance that you could sometime in the future stream a lower qual version? i get 700kbit/s on a really good day but usually less than 500... It's just a dream...I'm still very happy to just watch the normal vids with the "pause and wait till it all loads" technique ...
Yeah thats smart, say a rider has a mech problem,and can't stop and hits a tree and has a injury that does not enable them to ever ride again.
