Firelane 5.

I shot this video yesterday morning.  I think it came together nicely.  I place all the shots, ride them, then retrieve the camera afterwards like Les Stroud (Survivorman) would. 

The goal is to show the essence of mountain biking.  The ride to the trail, the sounds for the trail and forest, the click of the free wheel.  I hope you enjoy it.  

I make these videos to make my wife smile, if they make you smile send me a tweet, facepage, or plus let me know what you think of it.

For your Lunch Hour viewing pleasure. The Trail Collector II.

goose bumps. That is all. #mtb

Waterfall: A Love Story

Portland Nights. 

A chat with Rob Metz & James Dodds from Zerode bikes.

Zerode makes a VERY interesting DH mountain bike that puts a Shimano Alfine internal hub in to the frame as a gear box.  Beside the innovative thinking in producing this frame there is one more thing that makes it pretty cool.  It is made right here in Portland, Oregon by Sapa.  

Follow Zerode on Twitter, or check out their website.

Trek: Made in America

Back when I lived in Madison while going to school I toured and applied for work at the Trek factory in Waterloo.  They turned me down, I was studying Electronics which does not fit into building bikes.  Ah well, life would have been different, eh? I still love bikes and miss my old OCLV 9800.

During my tour the OCLV factory was off limits, so this is really cool to finally see it.  I would love to learn carbon manufacturing as it is a fascinating material and process.

Ever want to jump a moving train?
