I enjoyed all 8 pixels of this video.

For real though, good course preview!

I was just thinking about Park City recently. How it used to be "The bad assed track" when it first showed up on the Norba calender. How about Park City as a US World Cup venue?

First, our apologies for the poor quality vid... this whole region was experiencing internet problems. Service was down in the media center all day yesterday and at our rental house. We had to compress it to get it to load. Also, this was Brandon's first run of the day on Thursday practice right at noon. We just wanted to get a vid up and running, so this is not a balls out top to bottom run. We prob won't see those until tomorrow. Thanks to Vital for the opp of the vid on the news reel!

he starts at about 36 seconds and finishes at about 3:30 and change. 3 minutes for cat 1 is decent length. i personally like the action and tight racing that happens on a short course. angel fire next year will make up for it : )

Yeah I too like the tight courses where you need to be at full tilt with no mistakes to have a decent time. From this video he looks like he was just cruising and checking out lines as opposed to a full pull run, with that said this course is gonna be short and quick at full race speed in the current video conditions. 2:30's for Pro mens times is my guess w/o rain. Angel fire is gonna be a lung buster for sure, altitude and long courses.
