Now I have 6000 photos to look at. I'll have to call in sick to tomorrow.

During the gala night, there were some "professionally looking" cameras that were taking a video of the whole night. I'm sure there were something in place as well during the actual freestyle events. My question is then, where can we find the video footage of these events? Can someone put them up on youtube or something?

Thanks

Is the 24 inch wheel size a requirement of the DH competition? Funny how several people in these forums are advocating bigger wheel sizes for Muni, yet the world championship DH riders are all on 24s.

This was a true DH course, so as in biking, DH is often done on bikes that you wouldn't want to ride uphill or for any significant distance. A smaller wheel is lower to the ground, lighter, and thus easier to manage on a highly technical course, not unlike the advantage of using a 20" vs a 24" for trials.

For comparison, the stuff we rode at Douthat was all cross country, on beginner-intermediate mountain bike trails, hence rideable on bigger wheels.

Also, it sounds like the guni folks who traveled long distance by air only brought one uni, which they used for multiple events (XC, muni, DH). I believe the second place DH rider (Mark) was on a 26guni, running 137's and a 2.4 Ardent.

I thought Žiga was 2nd on his 24x3 guni. But Mark at his 26 guni still was in the top and it's true, he used same uni for all Muni events (XC, DH, UH).

The normal course on the other hand was much faster and guni or bigger wheel was much more suited to it.

Yes, Ziga was 2nd.

I can hardly read these off of my iPod touch's crappy photo, so please stay tuned for the official lists with all the missing names and times.

I tried myself the expert track the morning right before the race... that was crazy!!! I don't have a brake on my qx 24 muni and I couldn't ride most of sections because they were too steep... even by foot!!! In addition I encountered a black adder snake on my descent.
Absolutely the most dangerous ride I've ever had.!
Nice to see a 24x3 rider won the race, my next muni will definitely be a disc brake 24....

Both the uphill and expert downhill were suited for a super light fixed 24". The XC more for schlumpf 26 unless you are a crazy fast spinner like Martin.

Congrats on the 3rd place, Jamey! But Tony was on 2nd, right?

So it should be:

1-Corbin Dunn
2-Tony Melton
3-Jamey Mossengren
4-Christian Armin
5-Jogi Pfender

Thanks very much for the list, munirocks! I'm wondering why it's taking so long for the official results to be published...

Oops. Deleted Tony by accident although he did only beat me by one tiny second.

Apparently there are more results missing such as street, long and high jump and standard skills. Hopefully coming soon. On the pictures front the unicon16 smugmug page has added many more pictures of day 10 including the marathon.
