  1. I finally got around to editing what *little* video footage I had from
    this year's CMW event. My dv tape literally self-distructed before I
    could capture even 50% of the footage to my laptop, so what remains is
    minimal, but at least it's something.

    Unfortunately, I didn't make it to the trials comp, or Sunday's ride,
    so that's not in the vid; really only bits 'n pieces from the first day
    at the Tahoe rim trail...remember? 13 miles long (mostly UPHILL 'till
    the very end!) and 8,750' up? Brutally cold and very challenging, but
    waaaay fun! If you were there, look for yourself in the video! Anyway,
    hope you enjoy! 😄🙂🙄

  6. Good video Terry, to be honest, I'm not a huge fan of most of your
    videos, I don't know what it is about them, but this one was definatly
    worth watching. I found it very entertaining.

    Great job.

    I have never been to San Ysidro, I have done Pratt a few times with
    Evan though.

    Thanks for that, but I would really appreciate it if you could try to
    explain what it is about my other vids that maybe you don't like...I'm
    always ready for constructive criticizm. Of course, I realize that you
    can't please everyone, and you really have to just follow your own
    instincts, I try my best to make all of my vids entertaining by
    injecting a variety of qualities during the editing process. In recent
    videos, I've also dispensed with all those fancy, but really useless
    transitions, in favor of simple cuts. Anyway, I always respect and look
    forward to everone's feedback. 😄

  9. Probably the biggest thing that I find bothers me is I'm constantly
    hearing the words niceee, that was NICE!!, :p, iunno, another word or
    just muted talking would help. I am also more of a fan of videos where
    the video is almost coreographed around the music, your seem to be an
    organized highlight real with background music, which is great for
    getting the overall feeling of a ride, but for me personaly it can make
    it less enjoyable to watch. Unless of course its something as large as
    this and for that your style works great.

    I know what you mean about the redundant "nice" and other similar stuff.
    It's really just a natural reaction when I see a fellow rider make a
    line or just to encourage them. I hereby pledge to MUTE out any useless
    commentary and only use sound bites that are humorous or otherwise not
    redundant! Thanks for the feedback! That was...."Nice!"😄

    hahah, you don't have to mute out everything, and I tend to do the same
    thing, encouragement is great, but I often find it makes the video feel
    amateurish. (is that a word?)

    I would say probably "harsh", or "severe" as quoted below from the
    Webster's dictionary. (It also references "brutal weather".

    Also making it seem MUCH colder was the wind-chill effect. It literally
    felt clse to freezing at certain points! If I had to do it again, one
    thing I would have worn would have been ear muffs...for sure!:eek:

    It gets to -20c here in the winter where I live.

    By no means is that brutal. I go biking in that weather...

    That's 28* below freezing! (-20c = -4f) That's not brutal? Many have
    died from exposure to temps much higher than that!

  18. I have two photos of me riding in -30 degree (not including windchill)
    weather in nothing more than some long pants (and pads of course) and a
    hoody, I also had half finger gloves at the time. It was a cold two
    hours of taking pictures but it was for a friend of mine so it wasn't
    that bad.

    You get used to the cold once you live in it long enough. Sure it sucks
    but its like the heat in some areas, you just get used to it. Actualy I
    think I have an unnatural body heat or something because in our
    kitchens at school everyone is always complaining about them being
    freezing but I tend to find the just nice and perfect.

    I live in the very south of Canada... -20c is nothing, you should go to
    Yukon, or Alaska.
