  1. I'm working on putting together a video this summer fo riding, mostly
    for my relatives who've only seen still shots and think it's kind of,
    well... odd. And who says it isn't? But anyways, ifyer looking for
    awesome, mind-blowing muni and natural trials riding, go look at Andrew
    Carter's vids. If you want to know what I can ride, I present the
    following for your consideration (though I will accept adoration in its
    stead.)

    'The Old Mountain Road' (http://evil.linuxfreak.ca/univid/omr.wmv)
    Featuring "American Psycho" by Treble Charger

    'ATV Trails and Stuff' (http://evil.linuxfreak.ca/univid/dump.wmv)
    Featuring "Phil Was Always Here" by Plumtree

    'Shannon Road Muni' (http://evil.linuxfreak.ca/univid/lewisrd.wmv)
    Featuring "First Kiss" by They Might Be Giants

    I know the riding isn't the greatest (compared to the likes of Owen,
    Andrew, Kris, etc) but it's getting better. Anyone have any ideas for
    ways to improve the actual filmography, keeping in mind that so far it's
    been me, the camera, and a tripod?

    And now, our feature presentations...

    Fear is the mind-killer. Fear is the little-death that brings total
    obliteration. I will face my fear. I will permit it to pass over me and
    through me. And when it has gone past, I will turn the inner eye to see
    its path. Where the fear has gone there will be nothing. Only I will
    remain.

  2. I really enjoyed these, Nick. I like the overall structure of returning
    to the start. Setting up the camera yourself must have been a lot of
    work!

    If you do another set at the end of the summer you'll be able to compare
    your progress after three months of practice.

  3. Good job, Nick. Thanks for the videos. Good editing. Unless you had a
    remote, there must have been a lot of unusable footage from the time
    that you set up the camera and got yourself to the starting position.
    I've wanted to get some video of my riding also. Now I see a way to get
    some footage. Thanks.

  4. Thanks guys!
    It's my brother's camera, and I don't know if he lost the remote or
    anyhing, but it's not there anymore... so yeah, a lot of running to
    position 😉 I'm already seeing progress in my riding, the confidence of
    the KH equipment over the stock UDC hub/cranks helps a lot 🙂

    So far, I've been doing each day's filming asa separate video, but I
    think I'll have to stop... 4 hours filming comes out to about 2 min of
    video, and there are only so many songs I have in that length-range...
    and my riding isn't good enough to leave the original soundtrack in, a
    la Carter 😉

  5. Those were great, they really made me want to go out and ride. Some
    nice rock lines in there... I thought it was nice to see a wide path
    with lots of different possible lines and you picking the hardest/least
    smooth ones. That's what muni's all about I guess.

    Keep 'em coming!
