DH preview clip will be up in about 15 mins. Not exactly what I wanted, but it's pushing midnight here and the video guy didn't shoot enough B roll of the actual terrain itself. Feedback would be appreciated. I think i have finally dialed in the weird pal settings.

You're right. More B-Roll would have helped see it. But, it's great the way it is. Really, helps you visualize what is going to go down there. Thanks.

i can't get it to stream properly on my mac....i downloaded that silverlight link and its still wacky
Same here. I got error 18 or something. I watched it on the hotel Slovenian keyboarded PC. Cedric is always on form. BTW his other writs is all mangled now, which no one has mentioned yet. Getting better, but he is in a brace for it.

Note Cedric's bike there has spacers under head tube to get the front higher, thought that was interesting, is the 4X a fast course?
I think what you are seeing is the bottom of the eccentric headtube sleeve. It adds about 6 or 8mm below above the lower headset cup.

I think I could really do without ever seeing actual race footy...I LOVE seeing good training/practice footage though. Seems that's where you really get to see what makes the riders. There's the "just go" guys and then the calculated ones who take into account every single rock placement and positions through corners, etc... so any prerun clips are much appreciated. I loved the course footy!

Practice footage is on tap for today. Being captured to HDD now, will be a few hours until it is ready, hopefully by 5pm eastern. Little bit of helmet cam, little bit of commentary, lots of shredding.

Maribor is GMT +1 so 6 hours ahead of EST time and 9 ahead of Pacific.
