Ninham Multiple Use Recreation Area.
$teve.00 continues the comeback show by riding anything in sight without a second thought.
BikeZilla rounds out the big hit crew and leaves me hiding behind trees for cover.
Plenty more action happened, but I was busy riding.
Ninham 5-6-2007
6.2 MB - 1’07”
So I’m riding around Sprain one day and see this guy watching his son practice riding the skinnies. Good for you dad, encouraging your young freerider, I think to myself.
A few months later I ride with J.P. the young freerider, and he is eating up the log rides and drops like no tomorrow.
Already better than most everyone else I ride with, here is quick tutorial.
42 Pound Bike - 76 Pound Rider
4.8 MB - 50”
Back to Ninham, this time with a little higher quality camera which caused me all sorts of technical difficulties. Hence the large file size on this clip.
Slick after a morning rain, Ninham is a challenge to begin with. All the best had their appointments with the dirt today.
Fortunately I spent more time filming than falling.
Memorial Day 2007 - Ninham
34 MB - 3’12””
Blue Mountain, Peekskill, New York.
Food, Prizes, Raffles, Group rides, bikes given away, Demos, Vendors, Bike shops, Live music, Wheelie contest, Limbo contest, Skinny contest and a whole bunch of fun.
Joy manned the tent while I went riding and captured the day on film.
I shouldn’t have had the sausage and peppers before the poker rally.
Fat Tire Festival 2007
19.3 MB - 3’25”
Double Black Diamond Ride
32.6 MB - 3’02”
Glacier Ridge & Rocky Point Redux
The annual trip out to Long Island, and the weather was some of the best of the year. The trails were fast and we put in 34 miles for the day.
Where else can you cover 5000+ acres in under two hours?
Oh, and the “Double Black Diamond” trails. Well you have to go there for yourself to understand.
All follow footage shot handheld.
CT Skinnies Redux
17 MB - 2’53”
Its all about reliving last years rides.
Last year’s CT ride had it all, with the exception of a clean pull on Cedar 166/190. Well a year later, and FTB made a clean run, while I was standing around sans camera.
It was another great day of riding with PukeMaster and his crew. Great new trails, and stunts galore.
Plus there were steaks, cheese, beer and Jagermeister.
The Diablo Initiation
35 MB - 3’10”
Yeah, that’s a shot of me hitting a ladder drop at Diablo called Dom’s Denial.
Most of my riding is pure XC, but I couldn’t help to go to Diablo when the final lineup was called. FattireB, tk, Rossp, $teve.00, and BikeZilla. Plus we has some special guest appearances from Bogner, Ralf, and aRuss.
Zilla and I got a taste for the vertical, and we can’t wait for more.
In honor of going big, this video is EXTRA large.
Chainstretcher 2007 race
45 MB - 4’02”
The annual Chainstretcher race at Blue Mountain in Peekskill, NY. A local favorite, and this year 9 miles of the toughest course in any race series around.
I spent the day riding and capturing the race on film from 9 to 5:30 and I was happy not to be racing. Hot and humid with a fast dry course which included “My Favorite Trail” put the hurt to all that attended.
Fast is fun!
A perfect weekend of mountain biking, starting with a trip to CT on day one. Beastmaster and his crew show us some of his gems. Prudential, Exit 10, and about 50 other jumps I can’t remember the names to.
The self named Degenerate Freeride team was in action with FattireB, $teve.00, tk and myself in attendance.
Looks like I’m going to need a bigger bike.
Again.
Gaps in the Woods
38.3 MB - 3’35”
Day two in Connecticut, back to the wooden stunts.
Feeling the flow from the day before, the gaps came easier, and the speed here was scary.
tk took himself out of the game on one of the nastiest crashes I’ve seen this year, and of course I wasn’t filming at the time.
Then over to the road gaps. Pure butter.
Then to top it off, we had two grills cookin’ all the red meat you could eat.
Gotta love Connecticut.
