Babe of the Day

Todays Botd is...well...really cute, other than that I know nothing....if you do know leave it in the comments.

Random Video that I found on the Internets...


Chicken Ravine - Franklin Falls from Pete Burant on Vimeo.
Swinging switchbacks on the Chicken Ravine trail @Frankiln Falls in Franklin, NH, followed by a random sampling of the other trails in the park.


That first trail looks FUN, I have been looking for a ravine like that around here for a trail like that. Other than the fact that I think that lycra should be worn UNDER baggies I really enjoyed the video....what did you think?

Vancouver Premier of "Follow Me" put on by the SBC!

Sooke will once again host the island's first premier of Anthill Farm's new mtb movie, Follow Me.

These are mostly the same guys who brought you The Collective, Roam and Seasons and I have the feeling that this one will be on a whole other, new level to again set the bar for mtb movies.


The date for the premier is Friday April 23, from 7pm to 9pm and it will be at Edward Milne Community School again.

Word on the street is that we'll be seeing some major support from the various distributors who always support these events.  





See yeah there!

GoPro HD HERO Review

I have been looking at getting a helmet cam for a while now, but really did not like the video resolution that they have been pushing out, till lately. The new HD offerings are very nice....and while I think the GoPro units are some of the best out there right now....I still think they are fugly and cheap looking...am I the only one?

Anyway MTB Reviews has put out a thorough review of the GoPro Hero and I like what I see. Some of the locals have been putting out some great vids with their lately....(check it out after the jump) so I know the quality is good...sigh, so many fun things to but, too little money.

Anyway check out the full review by clicking the photo below...

Random Video that I found on the Internets...

Sunshine Coast Broventure from Jason Lucas on Vimeo.
Me and Wesley made the trek to ride the Sunshine Coast. We had little idea what we were in for. We rode a lot more than what is depicted in this video, but we were way too busy having fun to film. Huge shout out to all the trail builders out there, you guys do magical work. Song- Feel it in my Bones - Tiesto ft. Tegan and Sara

12 Days in Spain - Chapter 4

To make up for the previous days hardship, this would be an easy day riding in the sun by the mediterranean coast. This is much more like a holiday and Chris even got out his favourite Hawaiian shirt for the occasion!
