I can't believe Gracia is out. Such a bummer. He's super fun to watch. Crazy lines and super aggro riding style.
World Cup #1 - South Africa
- Thread starter Transcend
- Start date
course is so sick. no Brian Lopes. No Eric Carter either 
wonder how he would do.
wonder how he would do.OK, so I can stream HD video with no problems whatsoever at the moment (
is loading twice as fast as playing) but the freecaster feed is a constant 1/2 - 3 second stream then freeze. I can even play videos over the Freecaster site that load faster than play but the second I go to the live stream my input speeds plummet and the stream is currently just 1/4 second noises and the odd frame.

You didn't get the memo?course is so sick. no Brian Lopes. No Eric Carter either
Lopes retired from racing last year
Roger was 4th
Where did he come from? Has he been up there before?
Only way anyone's gonna beat Graves this year is by T-boning him in a turn.
Of course, with his gates he's so far out in front that ain't gonna work either.

So pumped for tomorrow!
Go grubby!!!!
Roger Rinderknect (sp?)
is a total 4x badass, I don't have his stats in front of me, but he has been in almost all the main events, I don't think he has won a world cup, but he is one of the top 5 contenders in the sport.
Bad ass BMX rider too.
A sniper would also be a good alternative. He was so far out in the final it made it boring to watch.
just to clarify... 9AM EST for the men's DH start correct?
c'mon.... never heard of rinderknecht ? he's racing on top for a long time, lots of podiums and raced at the olympics.... top guy like stik said...
4x coverage was pretty boring....warner and the other guy hardly know any of the names ... funny jokes but the rest was just chaos ...
graves is fast as bubba, starts like alessi and is consistent like reed !

What's there to be confused about? Simply seems like they moved the start time forward a few hours. Perhaps to avoid rain. I'd trust the countdown ticker more than the posted times.
the bike is long but it looks like it was shot with a wide angle lens
I'm no photography guru, but what made this Sam's bike seem so long? Was it the way it was shot? Or is his bike actually pretty long?
I just grinned liked an absolute tard all the way through that video, awesome!
...I heard he's riding Big House's custom 303 with a make-over... :biggrin:Or it's really long AND has twenty fours on it

Remember that thing? Houseman's bike was huuuuuuge. The DT on that thing went on foreva...
the feed they get is the one we see too and alot of the heats had the wrong riders names on the graphics so you cant blame them for getting a little confused. i thought the commentary was pretty good to be honest...
I don't mind getting up at 6am, or even 5am. But 3am west coast? Ugh...
Well, you gotta' do what you gotta' do. 3am it is.

...or my typical nightwe just call that staying up late

"Unfortunately despite what freecaster may claim the coverage will not be fully live. They will only show the end of the track where it joins the 4X live. The rest of the run is prerecorded from Fridays quali. (Editor's note, I don't know if Sven is trying to be funny or if this is true.)"
interesting.... wonder if it is true or just sven kidding around. time will tell i guess

just checked on mine (www.pinnedmtb.com/wc_rsa09.htm), Litter & Freecaster.. all same times. donno what would cause the difference on other computers
newest video: interview, dh practice & 4X racing on Dirtmag http://dirtmag.co.uk/worldcup/category/Videos/dirt-tv-south-africa-dh-practice-and-4x/dirt-1234872.html
I get 3:15 and 4:15.
The race starts and 1:15pm Pietermaritzburg time which is 9 hours ahead of CA time. its 9:43 now so the race should start in roughly 6 hours.
1:15pm minus 9 hours = 4:15am pacific time.
Please don't trust me on this, I don't want you missing the race because of me.
