Hmm, I was out for the 4x but it doesn't sound great, they better have their **** together for the DH or I'm gonna cry!

Fraser taking out riders again. Probably threw a stick in his spokes... you know, just "capturing the moment" :D ;)

Great shot :)

Wait, Vouilloz is racing? If so how did this escape the attention of pretty much everyone; 'cause last i checked that would kind of be a big deal.

Too lazy to check to official start list, but I'm assuming someone saw his name on there. Can anyone confirm if he is he actually present and racing?

I think Matchew was just referring to Vouilloz in the post above his and thought that meant Nico was racing.

Anyone know what time qualifying is/is over? Gonna git up extra early just to catch those results :)

Random thought of the day:

Think its possible that just the fact that each day of practice is being documented on film now for everyone to see so soon, that that in itself is helping to push the riders? Take for instance... Peaty's line as seen in the MTBcut vid from today into the right hand corner where he sneakily hops up into the grass to set up wide... NUGGING FUTS! Im sure other riders there that hadnt seen that now will give it a shot in tomorrows practice after watching the vid.

live feed kicks of at around 7:30am on the East Coast.


Some of you may know that my real job is that of a middle school teacher. well, seeing as it was friday and the kids were being good I fired up freecaster in my classroom and they watched the 4x live during their lunch period. General concensus among a group of ADHD 13 year olds is that it was pretty cool. But they liked the DH clips of freecaster/dirt-tv even better. None of them will probably ever ride a DH bike, but at least they can drink the koolaid :)

7am here in schladming, and it is raining... rained on and off all night but never heavy, and they are calling for scattered light rain showers all day

all this hype of mud i am not buying... so far the track has gotten better each time it has rained so i am pretty pumped to see what it will be like today

this is one track you can hit flat out when it is wet... sooooo much grip

250 dudes fighting for 80 spots, yeah it's gonna be tight to make the final

are they showing quali's on freecaster? i thought it was just finals starting in about 6 hours from now.
DH finals start at 1:30pm here in schladming if that helps

east coast USA would be 6 hours back (7:30am) and west coast three back from that (4:30am)

Freecaster site is dead for me already, not a good sign :'(

Still, at least I get to watch it at 12:30pm and don't have to get up in the middle of the night like you monkeys :D

there's just no way i'm going to sober up in 4 hours, but i'm setting my alarm anyway. :cheers:


i know exactly what you mean GL. Dr. peppers(not the pop) and heineken is doing work on me right now, not the best combo. unless you really want to get smashed.


good luck trying to get up. hopefully i dont pass out before it starts
