Video posts by 198.
It is Thanksgiving over here in the states, so it is time to give thanks for all of the great gifts in our lives. I’d like to take this opportunity to thank you guys for supporting MTB by 198 in its first year or opporation. A website is nothing but text in space without its readers.
In this video done by Hutchinson, they feature their urban tires in a very artistic manner. I am an ex post production video editor out of Atlanta, so I know how much time and energy this video took. There is very specific story-boarding and a long shooting process to output a short video like this.
To be released in 2009, the new Rock Shox Boxxer should be at the top of the downhill fork offerings. With it’s new 35mm stantions and damping system, the new Rock Shox Boxxer will be hard to beat.
Ok…It is always funny to watch other riders eat it on their bikes. I even enjoy watching footage of myself doing it. What is it about watching other peoples pain that is funny every time?! I found this video on youtube.com last night and I had to share it for this weeks Tuesday video installment.
I have seen this once before and I always find it intriguing. Markus Stockl does 210.4 km/h on an Intense in the snow to break the mountain biking speed record. I can’t even imagine going 130.736499 mph on a bike. That is insane and you have to be insane to do it! My hat is off to Markus…that is one hell of a feat.
I was doing some searching around Vimeo.com the other day and found this one. It has some great amateur video footage of northern California’s West Shore singletrack. It really makes me wish that we had more of these kinds of trails locally.
It is truly amazing to watch some of these guys ride. They have the best bike handling skills in the industry. Not too long ago, I did a post on how important practicing your balance is on a bike. These guys have made it an art form.
A friend of mine and I are working on some businesses that will hopefully have me self employed by the end of the year. I have a goal in mind that the prize is going to be a Whistler trip. So needless to say, Whistler is on the mind a lot lately.
3 great videos…The Seasons, Redrocker Fruita/Moab footage, Mammoth footage…If you are like me, you love watching mountain biking videos over and over again. Seasons is going to be the next Roam.
3 videos from the Windrock DH playground outside of Nashville, TN. Windrock is the closest pure dh shuttle run in our area. Some say it is a harder ride than Whistler and a lot of pro’s come from all around to tackle the rock.
