Ummm....I didn't watch it so I can't say anything :~
I was out riding my bike instead...just throwing that out there.

So Scott, here was saying that the Grouse MTN race was a fluke too because of the crazy rain. USA had 5 people in top 10 that race, but apparently officially Gary Houseman didn't win that race because he tested positive for weed, so he lost the title.
Either way its been waaayyyy too long for us in the U.S.
Good job Gwinny!
Now lets see what Mitch "the Kid" Ropelato can do in 4X. 6th place qualifier in his first ever WC. WHAT????!!! I'm more stoked to watch 4x than I was to watch DH today.

wow really... no way!!! and now you are sititng in front of your computer
ever stop to think that it is dark/late at night in other parts of the world? or late afternoon (after we went riding) on the east coast
never mind... you are awesome for "throwing that out there"
freecaster worked well for me, froze here and there and started again within seconds.
as stated, there are a ton of factors out of their control and you location/local service/computer quality/multitude of other things matters most
and it is FREE.... just throwing that out there
Is the Bromont course a totaly new one????
Is at the other side of the hill??...I heard something like this

Yeah, I only went Jeeping, Climbed a 14er and Ski'd today, before watching the Race on Freecaster. I feel so lazy...
Freecaster was the worst its been ever for us. This year so far has been perfect, this race I lost the feed at least once per racer. Didn't matter which site I was getting it from. Still and awesome show though!
I wonder if we had issues in the U.S. because it was the first race this year not at 5AM, more people watching?

Freecaster feed has been probably the best I've had it all year. The only time it cut in a serious way for me was when it cut out for everyone at the start of the mens. Few little skips here and there but nothing major. Was watching it in low-def to be safe, but watched the BMX worlds in hi-def and that worked fine too. And we have really **** internet down here in NZ compared to the rest of the world haha.
Camera placement is a whole different issue though (obviously this is not freecaster but the UCI) they should have taken away that second to last camera that just covered that second to last jump down the bottom, and put it up the top or something. There were so many people having a slow top section, would've been good to see what was going on.

Gwin just did what no other American man has done at MSA and he did with the #13 plate.......and it wasn't upside down.
=BADa$$
=BADa$$
Third place against that competition is mind blowing. Gwin is a fvkcing animal!!!!
Low def = default... come on FC guys... that's an easy one.
Camera placement suxxors, but that's on UCI
Worked ok for me during the top 10 ladeeez runs (was v. choppy prior to that - occaisionally just audio).
Could hear dude in background (sorry, no name) of Rob W's commentary saying 'it's not our fault'. Maybe, but I'm sure there's things you can do better (ref: HD)
totally crapped out on me in between women and men finals so gave up and went back to bed.
Still - Freecaster is the best thing that's happened to DH racing in years - you guys rock!
(+1 Woot! for Palmer)

Mostly the same as last year. They hardened things up so it'll probably run a little faster.
sssssh. zebulon and others are busy talking about stuff they know nothing about, using assumptions that do not apply. let them dig their holes deeper and deeper, behaving like spoiled children. it's amusing.
Full restults yet? Im so pumped for wc racing. GO AMERICANS! and go sammy.
1st WC! I think he can do it if he can stay up!
didnt he just get knocked out?
Great downhill race today. Live feed wasn't as good for this race as normal, which I found odd. Had to refresh in between each rider (roughly every 3 minutes it froze) just changed to Low quality so hopefully that helps. Still great watching it Live and love listening to Palmer/Warner, hating on the crappy Nissan pick-up hot seat.

I am having less troubles watching the 4x than the downhill. It's pretty steady for me.
Same. Graves FTW. Nice
can we get a mens womens top 4 on 4x please?

He was eliminated. He was pushed way outside on the 2nd [pretty sure] berm but pedalled his ass off to catch up but sadly didn't get it.
Anneke and Graves win. Kintner went down in finals after trying to get physical with the dutch girl.
Both graves and Anneke had to pedal basically the entire course on flats at least one run each. Both put down horsepower and got through, crazy.

Havent paid any attn to 4x points, but I will guess Graves has or is close to locking up title? and has Anneke moved into 4x lead or no?
Graves locked up the title this evening.
You ever think that I was just messing around?
Wow...some people take sh*t way too serously. I would have watched actually but my internet sucks and is too slow where I'm at for it to be worth watching
Mitch Delfs celebrated his 20th birthday today. His mechanic arranged for a little... "celebration" before the SRAM Edward 40 cross hands competition.
Peaty's a proud poppa, and a pretty damn good drinker. He knows what to do when SRAM's John Dawson starts to get a bit gassy during 40 hands... burp 'em!
