Eagle's Wing ~VIDEO~

P E T E F A G E · 2003-05-13T17:32:20+00:00

Damn, all I did was drop a 8" kerb, officer! Honest! 🙂 If I don't get a replacement I won't be able to ride for quite a while. Funds are severely limited atm (I'm still paying off the bike ffs.) and since the bike is also my only mode of transportation I'm really hoping that Manitou replace it for me. If not it's going to be some second-hand SR Suntours (yay) and me saving up for something more serious. (Black Comp or Skareb Comp I guess, depending on how the warranty return goes) On the up side I get to ride a sweet full XT/XTR Merida XC Mission Speed LRS full susser that belongs to a guy at my LBS 😄 This Marzocchi MX Pro w/ ETA really is the goods. mmm. I'm going to have trouble giving this bike back in a week 🙂 -- My helmet saved my braincells. --------------------------< Posted via cyclingforums.com http://www.cyclingforums.com

Nice. Looked a little crowded that day! Nice stall at 5:55! Was that guy once a roadie?
Funny, I was just listening to that track the other day and thought it would make a good MTB
soundtrack. I was right.
The end seems a little abrupt at 7:42. Was that intentional or did mine get chopped or something?

I've ridden Eagles Wing, it was plenty exciting for me, and I think Mr. Fagerlin's video does it
justice, or as much as a video can do. Videos are never like the real thing, plus the group seems to
ride very well, I believe making it look easier than it really is ... at least for me.

No worries Craig. It's more difficult now than it was when you rode
it. This mxpileof has no clue and it's the same tired dewbie chest puffing [censored] mountain biking
suffers from on the 'net. A faceless Superman.

That's only 900 miles away. A long drive, but worth it.

Drive? This is a mountain biking newsgroup. If you can't ride there you're not a real mountain
biker {;->}
Now how the %$#%$# I'm going to ride there from Australia is a bit of a predicament I'll have
to overcome.
Damn that's an amazing ride on your video. Never been particularly attracted to the US as a holiday
(no offense) but these videos are rapidly changing my mind. How I'd love some rides like that in
Australia - we have the terrain, we just don't have a big enough community of Mtn Bikers, and thus
the big enough voice to get areas opened up for bikes, or trails prepared. And once an area is a
National Park, then there's bugger all that you can do in it except on firetrails. Firetrails are
about 15 feet (nice of me to convert to feet for you wasn't it?) wide and are like riding on a
slightly rough dirt road. How I'd love a few trails like the videos show - 2 tyres wide, rock
strewn, and WAY more technical than any lousy firetrail. Now to convince the Missus that the US is a
great spot to go for a holiday - like I've got ANY chance of doing THAT!
Oh well, I'll live vicariously through the vid's and look seriously into a broadband connection - It
would be so much more fun to view them the same night, not the next day after the overnight d/l
Got any really tricky rides on vid?
I'd especially like to see the trickier stuff filmed with an excellent rider close in front of you
so we can see how they attack each section.
Thanks again for the vid's

the one called Northshore blew my mind...just the balance skills involved, the Moore fun one is
another good one.

I kind of liked the look of Joe's ridge and kestal run (sp?), but i doubt my little car would
survive a road trip that far (timing chain is getting real bad. starting to falter some).

So I only have to ride 900 more miles before I can ride those rock gardens. At the rate I'm going
that means I should plan my trip in about 4-5 months. Looks like it's definitely worth the ride.
