Mountain Bike video i made
« on: October 23, 2006, 12:51:46 AM »
An under 4 minute video I made over the summer of some riding from the previous year.  All takes place around Ashland, Oregon.  I first show up 43 seconds in.  Hope you like it.

Nice work!

I've just started doing some recreational trail riding. DH would scare the crap out of me!

Besides I don't want to think how much I would need to spend on getting a DH bike that my 232 lb frame wouldn't destroy.

I've recently got hooked on these. Here is flat land, but many interesting places, tracks you cannot take a car through, and the wind to fight.
Had a mishap though, was paddling fullspeed on a new bike when to my utter horror I found out, the hard way-, that the steer was not fastened to the front fork. So, I was catapulted forwards for eternity, - could have read a book while I was in the air. Landed professionally, but speed and gravity took 2 ribs into the damage zone.
So, I tightened that steering bolt and keep paddling at top speed :D
(It's almost 3 weeks and although I can work with a shovel or a fork I can't sneeze yet, hehehe)
It was very interesting to carry out the flight trials at Rechlin with the Spitfire and the Hurricane. Both types are very simple to fly compared to our aircraft, and childishly easy to take-off and land. (Werner Mölders)

Outta the car for a month in Whistler BC. If you like downhill check Whistler out in the summer. Almost a mile vertical of lift accessed, maintained gnar.

Note to self: Take the baby seat off of the mountain bike.

Cool video!
