Well they are good. They are everywhere so it's an easy choice.
They sure are but as Hill is completely destroying everbody people get crazy and try anything to be as fast as him. Owning the same bike is surely the single one thing they get hung up on.

Lovely race, super exciting! I had to close down everything to stream better..

So can anyone post a little summary of the race. Reading the 3 word posts commenting on the livefeed mean nothing to someone that can't see it, and is about the most frustrating thing around!

Come on, give us low tech'rs the goods!

Sam Hill is just untouchable right now, he was already 2 seconds faster that the pace after the first rock garden. Josh Bryceland was looking quick until he took a nasty fall in that same rock section. With so many fast guys out there its definitely gonna be an interesting season.

The whole thing didn't really live up until the last 10 riders. Something that also was very noticable from the commentators. They were really fun and took the piss out of every one on the track. Women? Fogetaboutit.

I speculate it's going to be closer this year. Barel and Minnaar on new bikes, some youngsters catching up, Camelini has the head for it for sure.

Bryceland was looking soo amped when he shot out of the gates, really styled it in the first jump, looked like he was enjoying it more than anybody out there!

Thanks to all those involved in making this happen! And a big FU to WCSN for making it such a pain for those of us in the USA to watch.

Bryce may be gaining a lot because of his teammate ;) To bad he crashed as it would be interesting to see his time.

WHEN Sam goes down...it's gonna be a mess. Not wishing ill on anyone for sure, but he's so committed to his turns and fully focused on the end of the tough lines, that when the fit hits the shan it's going to be ugly. And sh*t DOES happen, it's just when...

First WCup that I have watched live and I have to say, it was pretty damn good entertaiment. Technical difficulties (f5,f5,f5,f5,f5,f5) in the beginning of the broadcast got little to my nerves, but the race was awesome!

I think the main man commentating was drunk or otherwise pretty easy going guy. Hilarious stuff, one point he was flaming Lopez and Lopez got him back pretty good. Not to mention CG. LOL!

Thanks! :thumb:

Yeah...and it's Lopes(pronounced like it's spelled), not Lopez. He's got spies and he'll send people to your house to have your tongue cut out if it's pronounced wrong.

This Freecaster thing is such a good thing for this sport! It can only grow from here.
You have no idea how stoked i am to hear people were digging this. I have been putting this project together for 3 months with the crew at freecaster. They busted their asses (and budgets) to make it happen.

Email them, let them know you loved it. I am pushing for a bigger team to help alleviate some technical glitches we had this week.

Oh don't worry, I've already started it as well as making sure we have them for every world cup this season. It's on.

I was in the van with Lopes, Warner and Matthias for about the first 45 men. I haven't laughed that hard in a LONG time. In fact, you probably heard me.

Sorry, I can't think straight, I'm too stoked! Of course it's Lopes (not Lopez, like "How Do I Reach These Kids")

is there any chance theres going to be a full replay option? i'm going to be at the world cup in andorra but i would love to be able to watch more of the course/all of the 4cross when i get back, rather then just 1 section when i'm there
