He's doing okay. Had a huge hassle with USA Cycling over his paperwork, and only got one practice run before qualifying, but he made it.

His first gate is going to be tough, though: Prokop, Cody Warren and Amiel Cavalier.

They race tonight (8pm CA time)

wcsn.com has changed their schedule, too. It was saying "watch live Aug 22-27." I sent them an e-mail because there was never a link for "live", and they didn't answer me, but now their schedule says "Webcast Aug. 30":mumble: :redhot:

I'd demand $$ back if I'd already paid for it. 30 or 60min recap 3 days later isn't the same as watching it live...

Since I cant be there, which is killing me, I figure some highlight clips will be better than nothing. I'll already know the outcome - Mikey will be back home before it airs!!!

Nonono, I mean for DH...I really want Riffle to win Dh and Mikey to win 4X but I am a Big fan of Mick and he is definately on the list of could-be Champs. I think Riff will be there shortly and Mike will be there faster than most. Also I am an Andrew and Logan fan, those kids kill it and are hilarious to boot. Great representation of our country this year in my opinion. Go Team USA!!!!

Fokk 'em all...I hope it pours. If it does, you'll see Herndon's grin from a mile down course. Someone should take a pic of his facial expression when a course is dry and sunny then put it side by side of him when the rain is coming down. Never seen him happier than when the monsoons came in at Sugar and the Open this year

If Matti did crash in the seeding, damn, he's really pushing Peat and Rennie then eventhough they did'nt hit it at full gas, dont think any of the top guys did.

If it rains I'd put even more money on him, he really kills it in snow/mud !

So nice to see a really good and hard working guy finally racing at the level he deserves..

Do it Madi!

Did anyone read Tara's Webpage about poor Renee Junger.

"In other bad news I found out that the young Aussie girl that crashed yesterday is paralized from the waist down I believe."

Cycling news is saying she broke the C1 and C2 bones in her neck and has suffered spinal trauma at T6. She has also suffered two broken ribs and a fractured sternum. They were going to operate on Friday to stabalize things. Lets hope when the swelling goes down things improve. It sounds like the T6 injury is the worse of the two.

Hey Pbody have you heard from Hank and if so hows he liking it?
Click to expand...
As merrrrjig mentioned, he is having fun and LOVES the course, other than playing the mud tire game. He crashed in morning practice before seedign run trying to keep speed up for the water jump, so then he decided to just do the "go-around" for the seeding run, and then lost it twice two times later. Now if he can just put it together for his race run.

If anyone would like to receive email updates from me, please PM your email address.

What? you're not down with the Riff? Plus I really like the yungun's, I hope they do well. I'm really surprised by Andrew, he's come a ways quickly. I hope they do great. Michaels my favorite though, he's my little buddy. Growing to be such a strapping young man. I'm so proud. :rolleyes: Bummer about the creds drama though.:redhot:

It's italy again, they're also hosting road, marathon and Cyclo-cross worlds in 08. Track is pretty much the only thing they didn't get.

Early results:

Talked to Mikey briefly - he and Amiel Cavalier went out in the first heat. Prokop and Cody advanced.

I also heard that Lars Sternberg made it to the second round, along with Lopes.

Also heard that Houseman went out first round - Roger Rinderknecht and JK advanced out of that heat.

Those are the only ones I heard before that phone cut off.:mad:
