I have been a writer for nigh on 20 years, a photographer for 25 years and a mountain biker for 30 years. I have written countless magazine and website features and route guides for the UK mountain bike press, most notably for the esteemed and highly regarded Singletrackworld.
Although I am a Lancastrian, I freely admit that West Yorkshire is my favourite place to ride. Rarely a week goes by without me riding and exploring the South Pennines.
sorry chaps, but shocking camera work. I for one would probably prefer normal photos… (though I can believe it’s easier to post the report sooner this way)
I would imagine that’s as zoomed out as it gets. Camcorders have not-very-wideangle lenses. And there’s only so far you step backwards before bumping into to something!
We use Flipvideo Cams for this stuff. They are really simple point and shoot cameras that make it dead quick to put these video reports together as quickly as the world demands. They are a bit sensitive to camera shake though. But don;t worry.. the usual picture and lots of detail reports are still coming…

Hi All- New video is uploading as we speak. For those that are enjoying it thanks for those that aren’t Sorry for the quality – I can’t stand further back as otherwise all you can hear is the roar of Eurobike and not the person, were using a tiny flip video camera which seems to put people off less due to it’s size, is easy to carry and easy to use. Next year I think bigger camera and microphone is needed. Chipps is next to me now knocking together is first day report with pictures and more indepth coverage.
mmm.. black chilli rubber queen 2.2s… ;-D
did someone say ceramic king bb’s, wow!
Where can I get that 16″ wheeled ‘DH’ bike from. It looks mint!
I think ST should do a feature on Euro oddities and do a group test.
big sexy eyes being made by the fox girl at the end there 😉
poc lids are sexy

Zooming out a bit would help get a better idea of the manufacturers stands!

So, why do CK feel the need to produce a ceramic BB?
Does the current stainless one not work, or is the ceramic one lighter!?
“mmm.. black chilli rubber queen 2.2s… ;-D” Surely my wait is nearly over then, On order from my LBS since Feb!
Fully ceramic stuff runs with much much much less friction. Less drag.
