(Feel free to delete if I'm violating some rule by asking this but...)
Has anyone tried capturing the freecaster feed? It would be so nice to be able to watch with some friends later in the day and, I don't know about you, but I really don't enjoy drinking as much when it's at 7:30 in the morning.

That course looks awesome! I want to hit it!
Man, Sam looks PUMPED! YEAH BRO RARRRRRRRRRRRRRR... delivered in that laconic Aussie manner. That's about as animated as I've ever seen him. I think he cracked a smile/twitched an eyebrow!
freecaster has live replays usually a few days after the event

Thanks, but isn't that just the top few runs? I've never noticed a full coverage replay.
That right there is why Minnaar is a classy guy. Fast as he is he's not too proud to say that "With Sams's track record here, you're pretty much fighting for second place." Not that I really have a problem with the slightly more cocky attitude of someone like Atherton, but it's nice to hear guys like Minnaar (much like RC and Stewart in MX) give credit where credit is due.
I think that's a sign of true confidence, when you don't need the chest thumping and trash talking to know you're fast.

Spot on.
Nice one.
take a look through the vids. there are full race replays. well, what ever they do live. i dont think they always show live the entire field.
i dont remember if all the races have the full replays though. you'll have to look at what they have.
whaaaat. "this video cant be viewed in your country"
why is england such a buck-toothed smelly ass;d country!?!

Because it spent so long kissing George Bush's arse?
well duh, what else could a drunken euro hit? .
they're much easier to shoot than some crazy ass flying skeet!!
I can see it now....
I have NO IDEA what this pic has to do with Schladming Dave????
You know Dave, I had all sorts of funny little quips about this little photo...but I thought I'd let the big dogs take a shot at captioning it:
It has nothing to do with Schladming, that's why it's in the Canada Cup gallery and not the Schladming one.I have NO IDEA what this pic has to do with Schladming Dave????

My salad floated in the hot tub, so i ate it that way; yum. No comment on Jamie Biluk's choice in swim wear though.
Not totally Schladming related, but he put up a few from the 'vacation' part of his trip thus far:

^ wow, how hygienic 
so when are they planning on giving Sam the gold medal? Thursday? or maybe during the 4X awards? I mean, there is no point in denying it, he'll have it by Sunday afternoon regardless.

They have the world championships and canberra up (unless I'm missing the others). It still would be great to be able to capture the feed on saturday though...
salad tossing
Thank you. It was the obvious winner. My purpose for posting an unrelated pic has been achieved.Lee, I thought you had better taste than to toss Frasers salad.
No idea why you're getting that... I'm in Scotland, just watched the video fine, and my ISP is based in England.

Nice!... Redbull's Hangar 7 is actually at that airport, and it is an opportunity Lutze and I couldn't pass up.
Pretty much the coolest place ever if you dig planes or race cars.
...but Hangar 18 is WAY cooler:

...(being part German myself) you can't have Germans without 80's death-metal.

Jesus Lee... does Dave know about this?

7:40 am east coast for the start of DH. Is this correct?
So practice here just ended. Some guys are already absolutely pinning it. I rode up with Sam and Brendan this morning, and Sam was making Brendan nervous as hell, he was leading out and it was full on right out of the gate on run #1.
Smith was looking really fast as well, which is great to see after blowing up his knee. Minnaar is also shredding as is Fabien. Lots of guys are nursing end of year injuries that have been nagging them for awhile and it shows as plenty of legends are limping around the pits looking like they went 10 rounds with Tyson.

Those knee braces will destroy a frame. My poor old Uzzi DH back in the day got clobbered by my CTi, but I loved those swappable knee pads for the braces. I still have my $3500 (back then) custom knee brace lying around somewhere. Hope I never put that thing back on. But if you got 'em on, they're worth their weight in gold.
And Hill doesn't look bored in that pic...he looks pissed.

We got a helmet cam of the track if anyone wants a peek.

Fast isn't even the word Billy! That last grass straight away is insane.
for sure... you can pretty much no brake it from the turn above the XC bridge down and around the last corner.
the finish jump/step down is rather large and it needs to be scrubbed big time... my first run at it i landed half way down the finish chute.

Right, I predict Sam absolutely pinning it. He knows he probably won't get the overall even if he wins the race, so I'm hoping to see him taking stupid risks to lay down some proper domination, he'll want to make a statement after a not-great season for him.
I'll be disappointed with anything less than an 8 second margin, especially if it's wet

all new trees. even the little section before you pass the tarmac the first time.
i bet thought brake bumps at the top are just getting bigger and bigger after
that first jump.
O, thanks for the BJORK!
