dream on

So on my way back from Otero yesterday I took some time to hone my trials skilz in and around the old mill.

Wait, why is it I'm riding around on a Mongoose?  Oh yeah, I guess that's not me after all.

Sigh.

Maybe I should try my hand at something I don't suck at, ya think?

Me? I'm prowling around our neighbor to the north chasing cutts for the benefit of this here blog. See?  Always a Giver!

doing it wrong

Just when I get back from an awesome ride, I find yet more evidence I've been doing it wrong. You're gonna want to watch this one.

Experienced our first snow round town last night- just a dusting at La Casa de Roughrider, but a good bit more in our foothills.

Has this sometime mountain goat already daydreaming of the season to come.

Moab 360

Check it!  Cool vid mountain biking Moab's Slickrock trail.  What's that?  You've seen plenty of those already?  Well this one's got the goods over those others:  an experimental interactive 360d view of the whole ride.  Captured via smartphones no less, huh.

Click here to see the Xperia Studio video, no embed possible, sorry folks!

Pan, zoom all around rider Mark Sevenof for a true virtual ride.  All that's missing is the desert wind, the burn, and the adrenaline rush.  Cool beans, no?

Making the vid:

Float plane + Chilcotin backcountry + mtb + fishing + grizzlies + wildflowers =

As a longtime Michigander, this one struck a chord.

Get it done boys, get it done.

Business travel + kitchen renovation leaving little time for fun shredding tread or chasing fins.  Thank dog for the vimeo revolution!

cutthroat frame of mind

well, yeah, I guess that's meant as a double entendre.

With the internets aflame RE: coaching changes, it's nice to be reminded of those things a little more grounded in this good earth.

well that was kinda freaky- easy to see how that'd cause mass hysteria in olden times.  Fast forward to 2010, where we now rely on 5am Black Friday specials.  Or SuperBowl Sunday.  Or Apple iPad. Or Justin Bieber. 

That's Progress for ya!
