Can't wait to see more photos

Gary

Except for the bike/biker's shadows these pics
just seemed Photoshpped, ie, surreal! IOW they
looked great.

Yeah, for that one drop I see no trail, it is clearly a PS cut and paste
job.

I like that. The "view" pic is kind of upsetting though. You can see
how the city is spreading.

Can't wait to see the video.

Because we all know I would never purposely ride off-trail. It's kinda
like Pete's Joe Poseur series that was on mtbidiots a few years ago.

Very cool, Jerry. Loved the freeriding shot on the Chamuco.. 😉
reminded me of some riding west of Las Vegas, and I sure remember the
penalty for brushing up against the flora & fauna. And we do love our
SRAM shifters...

The video is still on the tape, but I have done a quick browse through
it and I must say, it is the most disgusting bit of the "Trail
Flattening" effect I have ever seen. There were sections were I was
riding with the back of my saddle on my belly button and it looks like
a mild downhill. I should have done a lot more off-the-bike shots, but
the fun factor was just too high :-)

I hate when that flattening thing happens.

I've got the solution...

I wonder how heavy an IMAX camera would be on my head.

I'm no freerider! It was just a ledge in the trail. There was a
go-around for it and I just didn't feel like going around.

In another year or so I'm thinking the HD camcorders will be small
enough to functionally go on a helmet. The last day of our trip, I
rode with the my bigger bike, helmet cam, and DSLR Camera kit for the
first time and MAN what boat anchor that gear was going up hill. It
was however quite optimized for downhill travel :-)

The trail was designed that way. It wasn't even an extra credit line.
