Well, Jesus was Mexican, so probably Hector.

I'm glad everyone's getting out and making these films! It's a really good tool for developing skills too, watching yourself ride and analysing body positions, line choice and such.

I'm planning on heading up to Greno tomorrow so might make another little film.

after a while I got too hot and fed up of running up and down the hill 6 times for a few seconds of footagejesus h christ it's rare enough for me to stop and take the time to whip a phone out of my pocket to get a pic of a stunning view, no way would I ever have the patience to do something like this, chapeu, I like, as trimix says "real riding" is good to watch.

Nice wee vid, andeh. Stevo from The White Room did this one a while back.

If that doesn't work, try this -

This is my effort from yesterday. It would have been longer if a messed up whip hadn't broken a couple of ribs and given me mild concussion. The worst thing is the crash was off camera.

I really like watching vids like these, they are much more like the kind of riding normal mountain bikers do and therefore can relate to.

I often get bored of the giant jumps/gaps/backflips, Alpine / BC scenery etc that are dished out regularly on Midweek movies. It all stuff that looks nice, but its not like we are ever going to backflip off a cliff in Boliva are we.

Watching likeminded folk wizz round their cheeky trails is the sort of thing we can all do and enjoy.

It way more inspiring as its a goal thats acheivable.

I had a go at making one last Friday after being inspired by the OP.
Warning: I may have added a little too much cheese.....
