Great video shot using the new GoPro HD. I wish we had that kind of weather here at the moment :)
Japan again! This looks sure to give your latest and greatest shock and fork setup a good workout. I imagine it would be pretty challenging at speed on a hardtail. (especially downhill and in the wet) :)
Finding all kinds of stuff on Vimeo recently. These guys in Japan are getting fast 'n' loose in this vid. I think the whole 'drifting' thing is just big in Japan no matter what your mode of transport. Not sure it makes you any faster in DH but it looks and feels good.
Just found this vid on Vimeo. Epic gap jump at 01:13. Very nicely put together as well. Thought I would share.
I find myself strangely drawn to these bars. Maybe just because of their 'alternative-ness', maybe because they just look comfortable to me. I reckon they will look great in clear coat on the new hardtail (when I finally get around to it.) If the Kevlar wrap remains yellow then the new frame will have to be blue :)
Anyway, loads more info on these groovy looking bars here: http://www.singletracks.com/blog/mtb-repair/how-to-mountain-bike-wheel-buildi...
I have always fancied having a go at wheel building. If you do to, you can probably do worse than reading this article first: http://www.singletracks.com/blog/mtb-repair/how-to-mountain-bike-wheel-buildi...
The owners of this MTB mecca are going to auction it off along with other resorts. I certainly hope it continues to be as awesome as I have heard it is as it's very high on my list of places I to ride before I die.
Anyway, I've raided my piggy bank but don't think I have the capital to be able to buy it at the moment. Shame. More here: http://www.vitalmtb.com/news/news/Intrawest-May-Auction-Off-Resorts,60

Love the feeling of flow coming from the riding in this video. Some great riding in the wet, absolutely pinning it.
