Downhill World Cup

A huge thanks as ever to Stu and the team at MTB-Cut.tv.

Yo! It's World Cup weekend and the Wideopen team will be out in force at Fort Bill to bring you the latest action... With any luck we'll be beaming heaps of great pics, video and updates to you through the webby and our facebook..... There's a tonne of coverage available all over the web so be sure to include us on your list to check out - especially if you wanna see how the UK young guns are getting on - we like them the best... I'm currently 30 minutes into my journey and sat on a train to cardiff to hook up with paul and tim from footout flatout... Soon as we hook up we'll start the mammoth 12 hour drive north! I'm pretty sure that's longer than the flight to whistler. Shit. Proper updates start tomorrow... But if you want to see some words from the road stay tuned. The boarder I get the more i,ll update! Stay tuned! Jamie - Wideopenmag's travel sick editor

Holy shit - we're finally here in Fort Bill for round 4 of the World Cup. We got in to the campsite at 2am last night, got a quick bit of shut-eye and rolled up to the track for DH practice this morning. Read on for 30 images from today's DH practice and some results from timed practice...

DH qualification has just finished here in Fort Bill. The sun's out and it's Gee and Sabrina that came up with the goods. Here's the latest from The Fort...

Here's photographer Andy Dunwoody's report from the Fort. "Some people went quick, some people went slow and some people were fair to middling". He's about hit the nail on the head - DH practice just finished and everyone is taking it easy before the main event - kicking off at 1:15 this afternoon. The riders were out blasting some runs this morning and styling it up for the crowd - big whip award this morning to Brendawg . All that's left is the main event...

DH Finals just finished here at Fort Bill with Sabrina and Minnaar taking the win. Danny Hart delivered the goods for the UK and is now the highest ranked junior rider. It's been a hell of a day with constant hot seat changes, a screaming crowd and some of the most exciting racing I've ever seen. Possibly not the best ever day for British riders but bloody exciting none the less! Check it out here for some quick results....

That's right - Danny Hart is now rolling on Giant Bikes and we've got the world exclusive snaps right here from the lense of Dave Francoisy.

These are so fresh they're still steaming...
