Title: Monster Energy Slopestyle live between 2-3am
Post by: richimpulse on August 16, 2008, 21:29:52 PM
I'm not 100% sure if we will be able to view it here in the UK, but there is a live webcast on the crankworks website for the Monster Energy Slopestyle in Whistler.
The countdown on the player is stating that this should start at about midnight here(if it works) Scrap that should be about 2-3am

Don't hold me responsible if it doesn't work  :-\ ;)

Watched it in real life. Hahaa! Lance Mcdermott Flip onto Kokanee drop and Frontflip off. Absolutely insane. Should have won, even if Andreu did a doubleflip. Frontflip off a tiny kicker is just rediculous...

Agreed that flip combo from McDermott was insane and i thought he had it in the bag for sure.
It's also a shame that Greg Watts couldn't pull of a clean run when he pulled that flip whip off the final drop as i think that would have put him up there too.
The quality of the stream was fine here, i found the children in the chat bar rather annoying though  ::)
All in all a good contest, and the New World Disorder 9 trailer was a nice treat too  :)
