8th Day of Christmas – More Midweek Mini Movies

On the 8th day of Christmas Singletrack gave to me…
More Midweek Mini Movies (basically, The Great Escape on a pedal bike)

Start the New Year with a shed load of movies to get your pucker up and ready to rip the hills…

12 MONTHS 12 STORIES – Ep12 – The Project

http://vimeo.com/82814622

We could have done an other riding video, but we wanted to finish the year with a look back of what happen since we started the project of 12 months/12 stories. In episode 12 we take some time to put words on what we film and experience all year long.

The Line – the movie

Enjoy the full movie, from episode 1 to 5, in one edit!
Make you comfortable, have a beer and turn up the volume.
Shot between November 2010 and April 2011 with Canon 5D, 7D and HG21. All the credits at the end of the video.
Thanks to Rose Bikes for the support.

 PLAY

It’s been over a year since Joey Gough asked whether I would be interested in making an edit involving a trio of female racers. She went on to say that although they all specialised in different disciplines, they really enjoy shredding trails together. I was certain that Joey would be a great subject, but when she mentioned Katy Curd and Manon Carpenter, I knew it was about to get interesting.

PLEASE! If you are lucky enough to know the location of these trails KEEP IT TO YOURSELF!

Pumping It Out – Through the Winter

Well, it’s winter-time which means it’s time for bikers to complain about the temperature, the early sunsets and their buried trails.

The boys from the UBC Okanagan Mountain Bike club have been working hard over the last few years to build an unreal pump track, and several dumps of fresh snow and below freezing temperatures weren’t going to hinder their riding.

Bas Van Steenbergen, Tom Van Steenbergen and Steven Leslie build some speed, conquer some ice and try to… flip off of pumptrack rollers? Large props to Pat McCarter, Geoff Hodson, Josh Toohill and everybody else in the UBCO MTB crew for all their hard work and trail maintenance. Also nice work Stefan Gordon for his snow shovelling.

Chris Dekerf / Dekerf Cycle Innovations

This is the first episode in a series exploring the process behind some high-quality items and the dedication their creators put into their craft.

Chris Dekerf designs and creates custom made-to-order bicycles. He starts with a design unique to each customer and produces a frame that’s hand made in his workshop every step of the way. The dedication to his craft is obvious and even after 25 years in business he is always looking for ways to improve the frame-building process.
