BLINKY FOR THE WIN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
YETI tearing that sh!t up
Congrats to blenkinsop, leov with a 6th and I think Gwin hit top 10?
I was impressed with Stik.
Don't try and match Rob and you will be one of the best co-announcers anywhere.
Great job to freecaster, can't wait for next year

Podium live video up shorty, still running live on massive-mag.tv

Great site.

Overall top three will be the same as before the race 1-greg, 2-sam, 3-gee..
I just think it means we need to stop worrying about being cool is this hobby we call DH racing and really start taking things serious, coaching, training and so forth.So, Gwin 2 top 10s in his first year riding a mountain bike. Anyone else thinks that that makes our sport look a bit weak, and we should all jack it in and get into MX/SX?
Hands down one of the best one liners all season!!
i think he meant blenkinsop
best team award
wow. big props to blenki. for the win. congrats to greg for such a great season. and huge props to rachel for capping off her season with A HUUUGE WIN, almost 14 seconds.
on another note, i was able to watch the whole race womens-mens without too much trouble on an embedded player on nsmb.com

That Massive-Mag feed is great, not sure how it was able to stay afloat. Awards are also on Freecaster, I never turned it off and it just kept playing.
Awards are still on on Freecaster!
I prefer Tim March on comments.....He and Rob made a better team.
I agree, Stik was good but Tim and Rob share that quirky british humor.
why does hill shake hands with the left? here this is very rude, we say the left comes from the heart...
british humor wins
And you'll still be taking DH practice wearing your camel back, so i guess we can enjoy the laugh together
Lee,
How did Dave do?
How did Dave do?
Completely incorrect. The problem is the feed on site. We need 2mb SDSL in order to get our HD stream out. Anything under 2mb upstream and we have issues. sdsl != your home adsl connection.
why did then the other streams better work? same video, same sound...
I agree Massive Mag was fine, if I switched to Freecaster the video was very choppy.
Laugh all you want . . . I'll take function over fashion all day long. I kill myself in the gym over the winter so I can do 10-12 practice runs the day before a race, and I hate stopping for food, water, or tools when I'm in a groove.And you'll still be taking DH practice wearing your camel back, so i guess we can enjoy the laugh together
. . . plus it's a proven fact - you can huck gnar-er drops with a camelbak.
Lower quality video stream.
112 in qualifying.
Lower quality stream wins my vote. Not to mention the two streams did not have a noticeable difference.
anybody have results?

Fairclough only 15 seconds down with that crash. he was on pace for 1st or 2nd for sure.
it is a shame they only showed from the step down to the finish... the top half of the track is probably the finest 2 minutes of DH track anywhere. is is flat out full speed and corners out of the gate, some big jumps, etc... i counted 28 corners before the step up when walking the first day
the second half of the track gets way way steeper than you can see on video, i was pretty shocked when i got here. all those woods are steep and with tree rootes the size of your leg. where brendan fell is a double drop out of the woods, and the open slope stuff from there to the finish had braking ruts and holes knee deep
all in all that was one rad track, the mud did not get to slippery but the rain made the track so rough and the holes huge, tacking a full run was so tiring, and most riders arms were numb with a minute still to go.

Sounds like a sick course and fun race. 112 in qualifying is nothing to be ashamed of on a course like that with so many riders having raced it 4-5 times before.
