Kyle Strait got 24th and only 11 seconds back. WOW, I was not expecting him to be the fastest American.
World Cup #1 - Maribor, Slovenia.
- Thread starter Transcend
- Start date
I saw steve smith's run....did not crash it seems and I heard more than one person tell me (and on forums) that hes podium if he stays upright......anyone?
Warner rules.

I ended up on the bikemag.com feed. I couldn't get freecaster to work direct for some reason.
My eyes are hanging out of my skull today. Got to bed at 3.15 and called work to say i'll be in at 10. So worth it though.
Josh B must be feeling it today. Poor guy. My first thoughts was that his season was over. Glad to see he got up.
Such a great event, thanks Fraser, Freecaster and fellow monkeys.
The circus has begun!
Thanks Fraser, that was awesome to watch this morning. E-mails sent to bikemag and freecaster.
Let me know what shots you have of Sabrina when you get back, first World Cup win on Flow rims
Didn't know if they were going to make it on time. Hubs arrived Monday, wheels shipped Tuesday (next day) to Slovenia and customs held them hostage. Gary somehow got them out though and it all worked out.

I still can't see the vid's...any other place to find them? Pinnedmtb and freecaster just melt when the action starts...I can't wait to see.
i have to comment on this again.
looks like his hand is in his wheel INTO the rotor!!!!!!
he got worked!
have to say good thread fraser
Can't even see the rotor, meaning spinnin away? I can't imagine his arm is through the wheel, gotta be just strummin the strings on the other side?
EITHER WAY...gnar pic. Crappy crash.
You know, the BMX vs MTX fight will rage on, but I really don't see any comparison AT ALL. Maybe on groomed, pretty, fast tracks, but not in TRUE Mountaincross. I like watching tracks like the one in Champery... def NOT BMX!
I do know that on my mac here at home, the recap videos that are up now, if I click play as on the vid as soon as it loads, it does not work.....if I wait till page is completely loaded, the vid will begin, so, maybe try that?
could that hand in rotor deal be some course tape? because he has a grey 661 glove on, the hand that is on ground, but the other one that looks like going through rotor is more white????
irate2:
JDD....
I noticed Kovarik in finish area with goggles with big huge SMITH "S" on strap, did the Dean goggles get stuck in customs?

Try this link it worked last night when the Transcend one went down but by then I was snoozing

Good look. Could it be the palm of his glove...which would be another color?
I hope not...
Hit a tree.
They are working on this at the office now. Combination player issue and simply too much traffic to stream. We have more bandwidth and servers on order for Andorra.
I'll know that when I get home tonight. I believe 4x was 30 000k total (not all at once). I assume DH will be more?
fraser, such a great job! can't stop watching sams run especially with rob and cg on the mic. They made the whole thing. Hope you guys can keep this going.
my inventory got delayed from overseas... dammit.. i told him & the couple of other guys running my goggles to do what they can... but don't stress on running the goggs if it comes down to it. i know at the Worlds Test race he used a set of Oakleys w/ my strap on it... but wasn't able to at Maribor. it's no biggie until i get my stuff in hand. i'll make sure he's dialed for the next big race (well, the race after this coming weekend... since everythings due to be in port by the 13th... then depends on customs).
once everything's dialed, i'll shoot out a PR about the "official" start of Dean Optics, & my signing of Kovarik, etc etc.
I think the USA riders were by far the rowdiest!
I think we won in that category....

3 man podium??!! What happened to having 5 up there?
it's a new UCI dumb decision. everyone (riders, teams, etc) are against it & i guess are gonna try & petition to have it returned to a 5 man podium... but we'll see what happens.
Was there any reason behind that?
If thats true way to go to miff off the people who support you most, don't they ask these guys first, how are they going to get to the next level of professionalisim if they don't listen or work with the people who provide the entertainment
Hope its only a hiccup, always seemed like a good idea to me, helps encourge and promote more people into doing well, goals to reach andSam may rub off on them, though he looks like he has the bull by the horns at the mo, sam at the top for some time I suspect, another Nico regin begins, or was that 06
Stink, hopefully they listen to the riders then....
Thx a lot but I'm afraid I have to claim that sentence. Warner would never have said that - he's way too polite!
Great most of you guys liked our "work". Thanx from Warner too! He's sittin' in front of me, still being a little hung over.
Cheers,
Matthias
I just checked out 25frames. Cool videos and stuff!
well done with the broadcast, unfortunately I missed most of it as the trails over here were too dry to miss a days riding for!!!
Just wondering if there will be a highlights package made up for it? Really interested in seeing Dan Athertons line through the rock garden and Brycelands crash.

5 man podium always seemed a little unusual since 3 is the norm in most sports, though it is obviously a benefit to the sponsors getting your riders up there if they are in the top 5.
So what is the score with the live coverage then Fraser? Is the UCI providing the feed or is it done by the sites who are broadcasting it online? Seems to be lots of people doing the coverage, some with the same commentary (eg. Freecaster and MTBCut) and some with their own.

that is a very very bad place to fall...
having seen that rock garden up close... it is way steeper and sketch that any photo or video can convey... josh is lucky this is all that happened http://www.dirtmag.co.uk/news/category/uk/bryceland-down/dirt-1231434.html
