flangesax, So... slight thread drift.... how is it out there at the mo?
|

flangesax, As far as I know the only race in the season that is NOT carried out on artificial snow is the first race in Sölden. Every other race is done on artificial snow, AKA solid ice!
So I would be surprised to hear the racers had difficulties with it

flangesax, unoffical snowHead nightrace bash for next year. - suggest it to Admin for MSB .... I reckon a number of peeps would enjoy it, but there wouldn't be much in the way of discounts.

Well, Alain Baxter has managed to finish only 3 races out of 13 this winter and they are all FIS / Europa Cup / NorAm races. I don't think he would get a World Cup start number right now. Noel is doing better and would be the most likely to take a World Cup place. The new guys coming through could be good.

Yes i agree with Vivski. We should be giving the likes of David a chance. It would be great for him and may really give him that push he needs to get to that next level.

|
|
vivski, Yes - Andy was as close to obvious as he could get away with on telly - good for him. Of course we should be using the slot if at all possible, but it may be finances that cause the problem as one person would be away from the team and would presumably need some help too.
|
|
|
|
|
|
You know it makes sense.
|
easiski, yes, obviously finance is an issue as well, but they have given people starts in GS, DH and combined already, and Alain has been entered for at least one WC SL but didn't start  I'm not saying they should have someone in every race but we have had a huge number of slaloms recently so you'd think starting someone in one or two would be possible.

Hi Flangesax, only read the posts today but would love to join up for next years unofficial bash if you are up for it!!My son is at the skihauptschule Schladming, and they were allowed to go and watch, being a ´cool´13 year old not too much impresses him, but he said it was AWESOME!!! The noise alone was something he couldnt get over! I think Alain didnt start as he has a back problem, Get well soon mate, we need you!!!

Hi Flangesax,
After resisting temptation last year myself and geordie mate (Newcastle supporter) are off to Schladming for Night Race week 2010. Would be cool to join in any form of bash on the night or during the week or both!! She who is to be feared is under no illusions as to my annual boys week so long as I come back in one piece and dont try any cliff jumping etc.
Let me know how your thinking.Also I booked tickets for the "blue zone" for the race, is this the best spot ?

briand6868, yes - the blue zone is best (unless you had your name down for the gold tickets about 20 years ago!). Will be there next year - for third year in a row. In 2008 blue zone - awesome. In 2009 red zone - a bit of a pain fighting your way up the snow banks and then standing on an icy 30 degree slope for three hours. Livened up by Austrians winning both years.
The bib ceremony (and the street party afterwards) on the Monday night was very good too.

Hi Guys,
Just a quick query to anyone who has been at The Night Race in recent years. I booked and paid for 2 tickets on the official website back in September and have only recieved an email back saying they'll be in touch when the tickets are ready.No contact since then, should I be concerned or are the tickets not usually available until close to the date.
|

|
|
briand6868, you should always be aware of the Austrian online systems... BUT it says that tickets won't be posted until december - so if you still have a ll your receipts and stuff then hold on to them!...
I can't believe I have missed the blue ticket boat already!! Arrgghh!!

Hi All,
Got my Blue-Zone tickets today and the countdown has begun in earnest.Anyone know if there is time to get food and drink between the 2 runs or would you be chancing losing your spot if you move from it,also how long before the 1st run should we be there if we want to be near the front.Primoz- hope all is well on the Circuit- let me know when and where you'll be if you want to meet up for a few sherbets.

FAQ
surprised he hasn't had a start yet this year after they were going to let him start Wengen last year but turned out he wasn't ranked high enough to replace Noel in our second start spot (which we don't have anymore 
It's on last steep part inside the fence, but only less then 40 such spots are available
