LEGEND! The Syndicate is pure class, not only totally pro but they also know how to have fun and bring a good vibe. They are clearly family.

/begin rant:
The UCI sucks. They have no clue how to run the gravity side of things. Reminds me of back in the day when the Ski federation tried governing snowboarding...man that was pathetic, and sure enough it ended in the way it was always going to end - multiple new governing bodies and competing snowboard tours/events, no real recognition of the FIS snowboard world champs, riders boycotting FIS events - then finally new federations emerging to cater for that side of the sport in the way it needed to be done. Look where snowboarding is today. Let's hope that the UCI either a. step up to the plate and get some gravity people to run the show properly for them, or b. get the hell out of the way and let some other federation take over.
The sport needs all the media coverage it can get (since TV deserted it) - and what do these geniuses come up with? A freakin FEE to milk those poor sods who have been camping out all year at the races, shooting videos and stills come rain or shine, pulling all-night editing jobs only to then have to wait 5 hours for an upload over some ultra-crappy internet connection, all so that us fans can follow the action the next morning. What, did they feel those guys were going to get unfairly rich from shooting this one race? Do they look like they should be punished for their lavish over-the-top lifestyles? I think not.
BTW, Eurosport did show the WC season, but not worlds. Makes no difference to me, I do get Eurosport, but I had already paid my Freecaster fee for yesterday's race a while ago, before knowing whether or not Eurosport would cover it - Rob is about 10 times more entertaining to listen to than that idiot they used on Eurosport...they pretty much butchered the commentary the whole year. It's good to see DH on the programming (it's "only" Eurosport 2 though...) - but again, step up to the plate and do it properly will ya? Get a clue, or just tap into the Freecaster commentary booth instead...save yourselves the trouble...you'll never beat Rob W anyways... :-)
/end rant

Hats off to Freecaster, and hats off to all the guys shooting the vids/stills that we have enjoyed all year. Parkins, Clay, John, Sven, Flipper, Victor, MTBCut, Wyn (LEGEND!)....and those that I missed out/forgot. WE APPRECIATE IT!!!!!

Well played! It is pretty silly how they're regulating/manipulating something like that - seriously?!? I thought downhill wasn't that important anyway.

Big thanks/props to all the photographers/videographers that kept us in the thick of things all season long and keep up Joes pumped!!!
