Epic bike park

Braden cranks a lookback well past the clicking point

Lot's going on in Ottawa now. The biking community froths at the mouth. Everyone has heard about it and seen the sneakpeaks on facebook. The CTV did a spot on tv. Now everyone has a raging boner that won't go away. I have been lucky enough to be inside. You won't be dissapointed. It's a high class facility that has something for everyone. My hat is off to Lin and her crew for making this happen. See you at the park.

Winter Dirtbiking

first carve

I do hate winter. But every year as a teenager I rode my dirtbike in the winter. I never had any documentation of such behaviour, none that existed past the careless stage of those years. The conditions were perfect this day, much like a good day at the hill. I was lucky enough to have my better half handy and able to take such great photos. Fresh powder. Under the right circumstances, is a lot like fresh sand. If you are careful you can certainly have some fun much in the same way. What will you do different this winter?

X-Town

I got comfy on this big table, it was about 60ft or so. It certainly wasn't the biggest jump there though

Jeff came down for the a full weekend to ride in the dirt. We had a blast, but ended up filming more than taking photos. Well more than anything actually, we just rode as much as we could. We hit up X-Town motocross track in Mirabel, QC. Really great tracks, yes plural. Something for everyone there. I had some nice photos of Jeff, but they along with a nice photo of a hawk eating a dove in my yard, accidentally got deleted. So this is a really quick update. Just getting time to work on some video stuff now. I will offload some phone photos from the year first though. Thanks to Jeff for his keen eye behind the lens.

out for a rip

I felt like a magazine hero when I saw this photo

Just out for a rip, Bug thanks to my better half for the awesome camera work. I have been prepping for a month end motocross trip to Sudbury with the master of caulking. Can't wait. And it would appear I need to do more right turns here.

Motocross Action

such a good feeling

That was the name of a magazine my neighbour had when I was a kid. He seemed to have a million copies. We used to go through the magazine and drool at the bikes, riders, and their cool gear. At school I could never wait until he brought a new one so we could examine every single photograph. This summer has been great. My lovely came and took some photos just before dark. All on the T3i with Tamron 18-270 lens. The light was crap but she did a great job. More updates soon I am sure. When it rains, it pours.

Sudbury roadtrip edit 2013

Here it is. I finally paid for a vimeo plus account. Not happy giving them $60 for a year, but at least this way I can upload video way sooner since I can never ever remember how to compress things while maintaining decent quality. It seriously took me days with my work schedule to just get this crap online. My internet is as slow a volkswagen and my brain is getting dumber. Now that onus is on you as riders to make me ride more and film more next year to and pump out more edits to justify this expense. I prefer wasting money on this from kijiji that I can re-sell on kijiji when I realize I don't need them. Anyone want to buy my edit? Didn't think so. Oh and make sure to have the HD option on.

Enjoy.
