i guess when u talk outta your ass, it's just ****...
but i guess the hate stems from ignorance. wtf/ever

Like your hate for Gwyn? What's with your hate for the states anyway?
From a fellow South African ------->
Missed the whole damn thing - course conditions wet or dry?
Congrats to Gee - well done!
Can't wait to see footage of the race (hope Reid is OK)!

Would like to know this too. Getting airlifted out is never a good sign...
Looked like the aftermath of torrential rain, meaning, an absolute nightmare track of slop, ruts, death....but did not seem to be raining.
I'd like to say that the coverage from Freecaster was excellent. Major improvement from any of the races I viewed last year live (haven't seen any live ones this year).
Only issues were the one minor cut out in the middle, some blipping, and if there was a particularly slow rider on course they wouldn't shift to the rider behind them in time to see their run at all (example, didn't see any footage from Kovariks run - rider in front of him crashed and he must have been right on his tail).
The panning cameras did a REALLY good job of adding some depth to the shots. Those were impressive.
If that is the kind of quality to consistently expect, I would have no issue paying some fee for that.

Its been far better for me too, last year was a bit of a disaster.
Warner mentioned they have 14 cameras lined up for the worlds. Its shaping up to be well worth the fee if you ask me.
WTF does that mean? Most off the things you write don't make sense.From a fellow South African ------->
Nico was at the bar. He is good to go.
that's great to know, cheers for the update!
Cool
what the heck happened? only a 20 page thread for the 'gnarliest' world cup of all time?
Bad ass picture.Gracia shows how the big hip jump is done
quoted for lameness
Minnaar quali was 15 seconds off the fastest......i just wonder if a healthy Sam Hill starting 30 seconds behind him could have caught him......that would have been legend. 
Pure bad-azzness right thereGracia shows how the big hip jump is done
And half the content is 12 yr old d-bags hatin' on one rider or another
quoting this quote because it isn't a lie
I did not see Sick Mick on the results, was he there?
Well there was no Vital MTB OTB going on so no one cared.
I was up this morning watching it and its been a long day for me. The racers were on a challenging track that's for sure.
looks like #54
Stik - thanks man! Been super busy with work - couldn't even make it out to race this weekend.
Anyone know how much vert the course covers and how long it is? All I can find is this image http://www.bikepark.ch/downhill-mtb-worldcup-access.html and I can't read any of the text.
If I remember correctly, at the beginning of the Freecaster coverage it said 560m drop for 1.6km of track.
The course stayed sloppy and greasy all day. Walking down was a bitch. Saw Vink with the medic team, looked pretty bad, so it's good to hear he's ok now. I gambled with the 'walk down and shoot or pick a spot and shoot' decision and lost. So many retarded punters clogging the trail that by the time top 20 came down I was left with a crap spot. Ah well. That's how it goes. Got a couple goodies. Everyone coming past me was struggling. Some more than others, some way way faster than others. Good times.
So is this the first time a dedicated clipless pedal racer has won a World Cup on flats?

Was Gee actually riding clips for that??? I thought that even Minnaar was riding flats. Hard to tell.So is this the first time a dedicated clipless pedal racer has won a World Cup?

Gee went to flats.
I was talking about Capricorn, agreeing with you. I'll spell it out. From a fellow South African(Capricorn is South African) he's crazy
Maybe not the expressed in the best manner possible, but nothing you couldn't have figured out with a little thought.

So that's like an average grade of....~36%. Gnarly dude.
primo and tingers: hate for the states? you said it. dont project. Nothing wrong with Gwin, except for the fools who pump him up to be the 2nd coming of DH'dom. I just prefer other riders. Everyone prefers one rider over another. Get over it. As for my guess on Gwin stacking. so what? almost everyone stacked, i just happened to guess right wrt to gwin, and who would take the top 4 podiums. stop over analyzing.
primo: pm what exactly your misguided opinion is on what makes me nuts? otherwise. hush. you making as much non-sense as that tingers personality
as for the dude that said nope initially: i apologise. i came out a 'tad' heavy. soz guvnor.
