Vermont filthy Bike packing race/ride
This was an organized, unsanctioned 189 mile bike packing race that I did this fall. With over 25,000 feet in elevation gain and tons off rugged riding including Writes Mountain single track about 90 miles into the race makes this " Gravel" race a very challenging endeavor. I decided to ride it all in one big push and completed the route in 19:06. I rode my Santa Cruz blur with WTB Venture gravel tires and switched out my 130 fork for a 100 mill Sid to save weight. The race is fully self supported, you carry all clothing and supplies and refuel at stores along the way. I started with about 9 hours of food and enough water to get me to the first store but also had a water filter and purify...

Maasanutten ring trail full pull pre ride 2024
Просмотров 115Месяц назад
I came down to Virginia and the norther George Washington National forest to try a full pull on the legendary Massanutten trail. The Massanutten ring is a loop that traverses the extremely rocky ridges of the Massanutten Mountains surrounding the Shenandoah and Front Royal river valleys. Considered by many to be the most technical trail on the east coast and after riding the whole thing I tend ...

I did something different than my normal 1st lap video, I waited until about 6 hours in and 65 miles, in this 9 hour race to put the camera on. waiting for max light I think is the way to go with dark forest, you just don't get enough light early in the morning for the stabilization to work properly and it looks horrible. This is a first year race in Butler PA, 3, 6 and 9 hour options on a 7 mi...

I worked Moab Rocks stage race again this year as a videographer. I used two cameras and shot video from the from and back at the same time and got some good stuff. This is stage 1 Porcupine rim stage, snow seems to be a thing with this stage but it was great conditions actually. this is most of the video that I shot from this stage starting with the leaders and worked my way back from there.

La Milagrosa is pretty much what Tucson AZ is best known for as far as gnarly trail riding goes. For good reason this the go to trail in Tucson and definitely one of the best. Check out Nate Hills channel for his an my footage edited together on this.

This trail can take a lot of moisture and not be muddy, you can see the river crossings were pretty drenching.

Riding Bug Springs in the snow, Tucson AZ
Просмотров 3548 месяцев назад
Super fun Super Bowl Sunday ride with Dylan Stucki and Nate Hills. We rode up bugs because the snow at the very top was probably pretty deep. we started about halfway down from the top, the trail was wet but in amazing shape. This was the first ride of two we did that day, riding Agua Caliente after. Nate was videoing from the back for the current episode of Follow cam Friday on his channel now.

Super fun rip down Agua as always, especially with someone like Nate following you.
Riding Scorpion trail, Tucson, AZ.

This was a pirate trail that's was recently adopted into the trail system in Tucson. It's now called Tanque verde upper trail but I think the old pirate trail name of Scorpion is much better. I'll usually use this as a warmup if I'm heading out on Redington road for a bigger ride or if I want to just get in a short easy ride I'll do a couple laps on it and I can ride nice easy up redington road...

I need to use this back shot more often because I really like the different perspective. The first half of the trail I'm in the front with my buddy Randy following me and the second half I'm following Randy for some rare footage of me riding. Just can't get enough of this trail, all the hard work that it takes to get up this thing is always worth it.
Riding the best Downhill in Tucson, Agua Caliente
Просмотров 1 тыс.10 месяцев назад
Agua Caliente trail is the best downhill in Tucson AZ, in my humble opinion. The hardest thing about accessing this trail is that it's an out and back only and the climb is 2800' strait up then down. The beginning and end of the trail are super steep and mandatory hike a bike but the middle section has some very challenging riding that can be done. This is absolutely my favorite ride in Tucson,...

Hope this helps, maybe I’ll make a video about my camera setup in the future.
