 Overrated frankly.....looking forward to autumn and winter. The other weekend I dropped 4 liters (despite drinking 2 liters on the trail and a further 2 in the car home) in sweat in my body armour and other protective gear and it was only in the mid twenties temperature wise in celsius.

 I hear you, can't wait for winter,

 Not looking forward to winter but definitely some cooler weather, +1 to the above aussie's, summer here gets too hot to ride sometimes and humid. Good training though for conditioning, less fun though doing push runs and gets crazy dusty and loose, Probably why we do so good in wet conditions overseas, just as slippery but no ruts to ride in haha.

Troy smashed it so keen to see him on the wc circuit this year, it would have been interesting to see sam hill turn up and see if the damage would still be 8seconds. Bring on first round, bring it home troy.

 in the uk we're lucky if it hits the mid 20's in the summer, and its not raining, lol

 I'll trade that for 40-50 degrees humid and so dry its worse than riding mud. Actually on second thought no I wont It might be hot and humid but I love my aussie weather lol.

 Is there anyway to get full coverage of dh races? I would love to sit down and see 30+ minutes of racing.

 full coverage on our national level?
Not that i am aware off, cycling central does some coverage but they are always short few minute segments. Best bet would be for a filmography to release a long film. lots of teams do team videos of the national rounds you could easily clock up 30min of film from different sources.

Some local filmers

creator of this film Captyvate Media - vimeo.com/tybowmaker/videos
PNfilms - vimeo.com/pnfilms/videos

They are both on facebook too.
A lot of the guys will follow teams at rounds too, so there may be multiple videos of the same race but following different riders, they also do general coverage of the race not just teams only. So check them out.

 Man, some of those crashes and landings sounded like car crashes. So more real than with the usual fm musics.
