Title: Mountain Bike video i made
Post by: sullie363 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)

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!
