World Championships 2011 - Rob Warner Course Preview

Sep 4, 2011
by Ian Hylands  
While it's fun to watch Rob Warner try to ride this years Champery Worlds DH track, and it's even more fun listening to his commentary of the whole thing, it also really shows how steep this track actually is. While you're watching this keep in mind that Rob was a World Cup DH racer for years...

 I hope he makes a habit of doing this for every WC race next year. This was hilarious.

 He done it for all of them this year and i doubt he will do it next year as there will be a high chance of no freecaster
  • 1 0
 No freecaster? How come?
  • 9 0
 Pinkbike should defs hire rob warner if that happens!
  • 1 0
 Because if people don't buy the world champs passes then they have no money to do it next year.
  • 4 0
 its nothing to do with rocky roads its because the uci decided to charge them alot of money to be able to film them and that added with the extra costs of the cameras etc etc it all adds upp and they just cant afford it
  • 1 0
 Yeah... and i bet that you can guess why UCI decided to charge them a lot of money...

 juanzo whats the reason, im oblivious. :S
  • 1 0
 That sucks ... I hope they "survive"!
  • 2 0
 Because they are all a bunch of greedy f*ckers. with their stupid rules. some sort of event to get freecaster up and running for next year is in order maybe? a race with all proceedings going to Freecaster MTB?

 This so beats the CRC analysis
  • 15 2
 I couldn't stand the CRC analysis. Lehikoinen has such a boring monotone voice. 'yerp, here's the steep bit, it's quite steep. There's another steep bit after this, it's quite steep' etc etc etc.

 The first person track commentary while riding shows serious skill
  • 1 0
 If you are talking about Lehihoinen he was doing commentary after the ride. If you are talking about warner...well that was just hilarious!

 Best thing he said was "Rankins got it" which means Alex Rankin is filming. Here's hoping for more Earthed films.
  • 3 0
 Rankin is filming for the end of season Freecaster DVD more then likely

 what's the go with freecaster player not letting you buffer?? my net is too slow to stream, even though i'm on company cable! so fkn annoying. dead-set, they can send a man to the moon and make HD helmet cameras but there are still some bloody useless online video players going around these days...

 do you have to pay to see the worlds finals??
  • 1 0
 Yes

 14.99 for 1 race isnt too much?
  • 5 0
 $14.99 was for the 4X,XC and the DH. Given that all of the World Cup races have been shown for free and freecaster.tv probably ran at loss this season despite getting money from teams and sponsors I don't think so. From what I can figure out there is an amazing amount of camera cable running all over the hill so I think we should see an amazing amount of footage from race runs. Nothing like watching the Worlds unfold live. So much excitement and build up especially with Warner at the helm!!
  • 1 0
 I think it's a better deal to buy the DVD+WC Pass package. And honestly, I've been watching freecaster.tv a ton and never given them a penny. I'll pay once! You should too!
  • 1 0
 you give them a lot of money just by watching all their ads...and the replay is there bang
