Everyone’s off at press launches or OS Mountain Mayhem, so we’re taking the easy way out and giving you a few films to while away that Friday afternoon…

First up is the Whiskey Off Road race in Arizona. It’s still one of those ‘must do’ races for a couple of us… Maybe next April.

And now some envy-inducing riding from Bolivia… Freeriding above the clouds…

Here’s the Madison Saracen Downhill team racing at Glencoe in the British Downhill Series. Take your dusty trails, Yankee-boys and come and ride this lot, eh?

For our non-bike segment, here’s some stunning wing-suit flying over some very, very high mountains…

And purely because Matt isn’t here to oversee any videos on the grounds of ‘musical taste’, here’s the video to Dave Lee Roth’s Yankee Rose… Steve Vai at his glitteriest.

Here’s a Contour-cam video of some of the famous North Shore trails. We’ll give the Canadians their due… they certainly ride some steep, wet trails…

And finally, here’s the famous Aptos Post Office Jump Jam
