Graves and Buhl qualify first for 4X at Ft. William

 Folks aren't doing as many vids at the WC rounds due to the costs being charged - upwards of $250 per minute of edited coverage. We have two great photographers on hand at all the rounds and you'll see edits from teams post event from film crews such as MTB Cut, DH Productions and the like.

 that's ridiculous, it's not like the events lose money from edits of practice

 Seriously, that' a ridiculous cost, thanks for the insight brule!

 hmmm. there must be a massive grey area between ammeter phone cam footage, semi ammeter photographer footage, semi professional photographer footage... the transition is pretty smooth, how do they enforce it?

 Another thing you have to realize is that the qualies just ended, so unless the footage is live (these pics are even from yesterday), then no one can edit that fast. Your thirst for Free, Now and Perfect are things that have to be curbed and set at realistic levels as it's impossible to provide it all, all the time. I'm pumped that we've got results now and have guys like Fraser and Colin on the ground that will have more banger shots to drool over later on today.

 Brule, I thought you were superman... Make it happen.

 i thought the same with Knife in the dark

 you guys sayin that freecaster has some kind of media monopoly on the race? how does someone have the rights to charge $250 per minute for edited coverage?

 They show the races live and then post a full replay of the webcast.
