Hey Fraser.....What are the filmakers you have seen on these rounds of WC???
Where is Sven Martin posting his pics on internet????
Funny you mention, but 3 emails I got from friends over there all started with the same words-More important that anything else, how was the party Sunday night at Cedrics place? Greek style with broken plates and champagne bottles opened as a way to flash and get attention?
Wonder if they will recover enough to throw down in Ft. Bill?I talked to people this morning who are STILL hungover from Andorra.

Amen to that.These were industry types, so their livers are well trained to back-to-back drinking sessions. Taipei Show and Sea Otter early in the season make for good training heading into the World Cup level drinking. Fort William though is kinda the "World Champs" of sustained alcoholism though. It's hard not to tie one on there. The people are just too damned friendly and fun!

Thats exactly what I was thinking, after last weekends 5th place qualifier could this be his weekend to break onto his first podium?There's an awful lot of people in Steve Smith's way.
I actually counted them.....on my fingers. irate2:And?
.
He's definitely fast enough and that track will suit him quiet well but can he stay on his bike that long? During his Freecaster interview with Lopes he said Andorra was first world cup final without a crash.Thats exactly what I was thinking, after last weekends 5th place qualifier could this be his weekend to break onto his first podium?
Amzing that world class athletes can get ****faced 2-3 times per month on a regular basis. I know some guys that played 2nd division ice-hockey in Sweden and they kept it really cool during season, except for chirstmas hollidays and such. Those guys were only semi pro's and worked 6h days and trained 6days/week. Thats a lot of sacrifice for the relative little moner they earned compared to 1st division pro's.Funny you mention, but 3 emails I got from friends over there all started with the same words-
'as soon as I get over the hangover'
That's pretty typical for guys his age, isn't it? Not getting too hot headed and comming in ones own pants has to do with maturity. I wonder how much mind games is going on between racers. Surely the younger ones have another disadvantage there too.He's definitely fast enough and that track will suit him quiet well but can he stay on his bike that long?

I bet he nabs a podium before the year is out
counted at least 15 Americans. That's what, 13 more than '06?
That would be wicked! Canada showing up for something else than freeriding. HA!Thats exactly what I was thinking, after last weekends 5th place qualifier could this be his weekend to break onto his first podium?
Too true, though if I recall from last year you didnt even come close to qualifying for the final!!Fort William though is kinda the "World Champs" of sustained alcoholism though.
Start List:
Bryceland will be there........
I went out too hard the first day of practice. Ended up pulling a liver. Tried to sleep it off but couldn't piece it back together in time for the main event. Hill certainly won that event too last year!Too true, though if I recall from last year you didnt even come close to qualifying for the final!!
You gotta remember how few on the circuit are 'world class' (train like pros, eat like pros, visualisation in their sleep, etc) athletes. I hear one particular drinking partier is on the verge of getting booted off a program. People are dumb.Amzing that world class athletes can get ****faced 2-3 times per month on a regular basis.

They're sure living the dream; perfect balance between sports and rock n' roll.
