I have been a little down lately. I find the current crop of mountain biking videos offers too much slow-mo upside down back flipping on big BMX bikes and too little, POV cam, sexy wire cam and all out fast runs down real trails. I have a hard time living vicariously through the endless back flip DJ vids but the ones that are close to mountain biking I can imagine, if I had the right gear and all, being able to do.
I mean Danny MacSkill is fantastic and all, skilled beyond doubt but there is no way I will ever be riding a cable. Ever.
Post up your favorite Youtube, Vimeo, etc. videos here for some stoke. Backflip vids are totally perfect additions but I also want to see some other videos of other things too. Homemade ones would be the best!
(Please when embedding videos make sure that they aren't set to autoplay).
another...mostly for the amazing dog. As one of the few non pathetic Youtube commentators said "Put a camera on that damn dog!" That would indeed be even more epic.
I love that Chilean downhill video (1st video). So much going on there ... why is the guy wearing a pinstripe suit?Just some huge drops in there, too. I've been in that exact area of Valpo and can attest that it is very steep.
'11 Specialized Enduro Expert for the trails
'08 Jamis Ventura Race for the road
This has to be the best helmet cam video of the 2011 Megavalanche race that I've seen. Parts 1 & 2 are mostly the rocky mountain top section and then parts 3 & 4 are through woodland lower down. Watch it full screen for the best view.
It's the full 1hr+ descent of Alpe D'Huez and the helmet cam is mounted at around eye level for a natural perspective so that you can see exactly where he is looking.
That video is from the 2011 Megavalanche at Alpe D'Huez in the French Alps. It's part of a mass start downhill series called the Avalanche Cup.
In the Megavalanche there are 6 qualifying heats of 250 riders who all start at the same time and then have to choose their own route down the mountain. The 45 fastest riders from each qualifying heat go through to the final.
Well this is either going to back fire or work out. Rockcrusher, I will apologize in advance if you dislike this or anyone else. I was bored and it's winter so, I chopped up something from lifecycles and threw it together. IDK, I like it, makes me want to ride and I think it fits here.
NSFW music.
Everyone should rent "Ride The Divide" documentary. Banff Canada to the Mexico border. 2700 miles, 200,000 feet of climb, approx 1 month to complete, NO support. Great movie for MTB enthusiasts.

What's not to like about that? The video is fantastic. Although I wouldn't choose to listen to that type of music(heck I'm 53), it fits the video fine. Great job!!
