Joeboy69 Posted June 8, 2014 Posted June 8, 2014 Hi, thought I would watch it on Livestream. I hear the commentary clearly but the video is just the empty startline. Anybody else able to see something useful?
Orbit Posted June 8, 2014 Posted June 8, 2014 Same for me. AFAIK Streamit360 only do stationary cameras so we have to wait for the lead guys to ride past a camera point.
CAAD4 Posted June 8, 2014 Posted June 8, 2014 Nice to see the XC youngsters taking first and second. Reid first followed by Croeser and Evans..
Squier Posted June 9, 2014 Posted June 9, 2014 Interesting that the XCO guys keep on whipping the Marathion riders. I understand that their conditioning will be tops as we are smack bang in the XCO season but surely the Marathon guys would've built up to this race. I guess the fact that the race finished with a large singletrack section in Cascades also played a big role.
ians H2Sport Posted June 9, 2014 Posted June 9, 2014 That was one hectic route. Huge climbing, tons of single track (up & down) and no opportunity for recovery. Proper mountain biking! Gen 1
RossW Posted June 9, 2014 Posted June 9, 2014 There was a bit of handbag swinging on Twitter yesterday coming from Brandon Stewart. Â I loved the route. Really tough and unparalleled amount of climbing! Now to get ready for Rainbow. IdeJongh 1

blondeonabike Posted June 9, 2014 Posted June 9, 2014 Nice to see the XC youngsters taking first and second.

Unbeleivable commitment and dedication! Ramrod, Milkman and Stretch 3
RossW Posted June 9, 2014 Posted June 9, 2014 you ride ross? and you riding worlds? Yip. It hurt me so bad I'm coming back for more! Spoke101 and Stretch 2
Stretch Posted June 9, 2014 Posted June 9, 2014 Yip. It hurt me so bad I'm coming back for more! you down here more than you in the big smoke it seems!
RossW Posted June 9, 2014 Posted June 9, 2014 you down here more than you in the big smoke it seems! It's becoming an expensive problem.I'm down for Hilton the weekend before Rainbow as well. Will try work in the PMB office or DBN office for the week between the two.
Gnarly Posted June 9, 2014 Posted June 9, 2014 Who did the timing? Need to look at some results. Thanks Spoke101 1
Spoke101 Posted June 9, 2014 Posted June 9, 2014 (edited) I was "unlucky" enough ride the 95km and oh my!!! Toughest day on a bike ever. No time to warm up, big climbs, rough terrain, no recovery, portages and some proper technical sections that after +5hrs become a bit sketchy. But that's how it should be. Â As for the XC guys 3 in the top 4 positions and if I remember correctly James had a 10min gap to 2nd. Edited June 9, 2014 by Spoke101 RossW 1
jcza Posted June 9, 2014 Posted June 9, 2014 Did the marathon and it was without doubt the toughest course I've ever ridden. Relentless climbing then steep technical descending. No free miles on that course, that's for sure. Just glad I finished. Will be back for Rainbow. Waited with a rider that crashed heavily after we crossed the top of DH course. Looked like broken jaw, broken ribs and maybe collarbone. Hope he is ok.
