The XC "run" looks in great condition. I was wondering how that was standing up. Looks like Wednesday's night ride is sorted! Really good helmet cam footage BTW.

Good vids but one thing - STOP THE SLOW MOTION STUFF. Its juts looks naff, IMO of course.

Wish I lived near there; looks like a great place to ride. Unfortunately its about a 4 hour journey for me.

i think slow mo can look ace if used appropriately. I used it a fair bit when i think it will add stuff

To be honest I don't even like it when used in professional films.

I always think slow motion stuff looks quite cool [i](especially in proffesional films)[/i] Think the berm shot didn't need slow-mo, but then the songs wouldn't have fitted properly ๐Ÿ™„ ๐Ÿ˜†

yeh it's been great since the middle of last week. Some of the trails could do with some maintenance though, especially the 'un-used' one third to last on the right with the big roll in at the start.

Drop me a pm if you do fancy this wednesday I can rock down with the HD video cam.

We were at Wharncliffe Friday, went up to Kidland for the uplift day on Saturday and race on Sunday, and came home with slightly dusty bikes. Mud? Not a bit.

We were up last night for another evening session. It was great. Came home with dirty legs but not from mud, from sweat and dust. It actually seems quite strange to get to ride it in dust again
