Took advantage of just ONE winter day in Michigan. Video.

Postby ArcticRobot » February 1st, 2012, 11:13 pm




Filmed from 4 different angles, day footage, night footage, bad electronic music, funny dog. January 15 - had to run 3 laps at PLRA to film everything. On my second daytime loop seen two fatbike guys. HD 720p on both links.
Would appreciate critical feedback, I still can't quite edit and cut some catchy and short videos.

Nice video. I was wondering if you would make the steep hill after the bowl given slick snow.

Coolest part was watching the wheel cycle through the suspension travel. But I like that kind of stuff.

Thanks) Yeah, I made all the hills up no problem. It's my regular trail, so I know where to apply the force. It's harder when snow is deep and I happen to have no granny gear on my 1x9 setup)

COOL video !! :D
Like Pontiac Lake at the sunny disco. Watching the front wheel do all that work was pretty cool.
I love mountain biking because I haven't found anything that is more FUN !!
Of all the paths you choose in life....make sure some of them are DIRT !!

Nice job Gene. I liked the rearward shot at 4:10 where it looked like you were being passed by another rider, but it was your own shadow.
