Extreme Mountain Biking: Making The Most of the Terrain (Video Content)

Extreme Mountain Biking: Making The Most of the Terrain (Video Content)

The term extreme mountain biking is thrown around a lot in magazines and other more conventional print sources. With riders like Thomas Vanderham and Sam Hill ripping up North Shore and Cam McCaul killing stunts we never thought would be possible, extreme mountain biking is something that has a different definition than it did 10 years ago. However, when it comes down to it…reality sets in. Just as Thomas Vanderham said in a recent interview, “I am just a mountain [...]

Video Proof: It Is Not The Equipment, It’s The Rider

Video Proof: It Is Not The Equipment, It’s The Rider

We spend a lot of time talking about bikes, equipment and how it will allow us to experience a different kind of riding on new terrain. While there is a lot of truth to the subject, pure bike handling skill will trump equipment any day of the week. To prove that BikeRadar.com posted a video yesterday of some amazing stunts done on a carbon road bike. Granted…it is Martyn Ashton…but you get the idea. It’s a great reminder that it [...]

More information is getting out on the new mountain biking video from Anthill Films titled “Follow Me”. From the same crew that brought us Roam and Seasons, Follow Me is going to be another bit of video that is going to make us ride well above our ability thanks to the stoke of riders like Thomas Vanderham, Sam Hill and others. By the looks of this official trailer, this film is going to even top the last two outings by [...]

Video: Ray’s MTB Indoor Park

Video: Ray’s MTB Indoor Park

A friend of mine Mark just got back from Ray’s MTB Indoor Park and brought back some helmet cam footage to share. Ray’s is an indoor mountain bike park (if you couldn’t already tell by the name) that has everything from pump tracks to drops and ladders. There is something for every mountain biker, regardless of skill level. In this video, Mark takes a spin around the XC course, jump and berm run, a skinny and the Rhythm Room. More [...]

Video: Chunky – Raccoon Mountain – Niner W.F.O 9

A group of us headed up to Chattanooga, TN last weekend to get in some dry singletrack…finally! It has been doing nothing but raining in the southeast United States lately, so we grab any mountain biking time we can get. As you can see by the video, last weekend was what inspired the “How to ride in leaf covered conditions” article I posted earlier this week. You could hardly even see the trail! This added a little bit of tech [...]

The Funniest MTB Related Video I Have Ever Seen

The Funniest MTB Related Video I Have Ever Seen

In north Georgia right now, we are completely underwater. If feels like it has been doing nothing but raining for the past month non stop and we even made headlines with massive flooding several weeks ago that will make history books. When you match all of this water that is falling from the sky with gorgeous red clay, it equals very minimal ride time for us mountain bikers in the area as riding wet trails completely ruins the trail system. [...]

Video: Bent Creek in Asheville, NC – Green’s Lick and Ingles Field Gap DH

This HD mountain bike video footage is from Bent Creek in Asheville, NC. Green’s Lick is known for being an extremely fast, groomed bob sled run that heads down the north boundary of the hill. A simple YouTube search for Green’s Lick will show you plenty of eager mountain bikers getting their speed way over their head in an attempt to show off for the camera. The result is an OTB moment that is great for YouTube viewing. Luckily for [...]

New Danny MacAskill Trials Mountain Biking Video

Danny MacAskill, a once “unknown” trials phenom is at it again with an incredible display of bike control and tricks in his new trials mountain biking video. I say unknown because up until this last video of Danny that we posted, no one knew who the hell Danny Mac was or that he even rode a bike! He was just hanging out working in a local bike shop like any other rider. Now…thanks to YouTube and his mad skills as [...]

Video: Dirt Jumping On A Barge – Red Bull and Kona Riders

This was seriously too cool not to share. I am a sucker for massive mountain bike video stoke, so of course…this got my mind stirring. They are seriously floating around on a barge taking shots at different San Francisco landmarks. Seriously cool… From Bikemag.com While filming for New World Disorder 10, the Red Bull Stumps Clump and Jumps tour riders descended on San Francisco and set up this one-of-a-kind barge in San Francisco Bay. Once aboard, the Lacondeguy brothers, Robbie [...]

Mountain Biking Photography – Amazing Riding Pictures

Mountain Biking Photography – Amazing Riding Pictures

Mountain biking photography is a huge passion of mine (although I need to work on taking better pictures myself!). I can spend hours looking through other riders photographs as they share their little piece of singletrack heaven with others. Some photographers have found a way to make it a true art form as they continue to push the limits of their riding and their photography. Did you know that Mountain Biking by 198 has a Flickr group? Well…those fantastic pictures [...]

VholdR ContourHD POV – Helmet Camera – 1st Ride

I called my wife on the way to our regular Tuesday night ride with one simple request…”bring the box that is on the front doorstep to the ride…please.” In the box from the big brown truck was the new ContourHD helmet camera from VholdR and I was not going to wait to try it out. This point of view (POV) helmet camera from VholdR claims better video quality than the competition by providing 720 lines of HD resolution. The small [...]

Shooting in HD – MTB198 is going hi-res

If my UPS tracking number is correct, my Vholdr ContourHD helmet cam should be delivered early next week. That means that Mountain Biking by 198 will officially be up with the times and broadcasting in HD video. The ContourHD is the only wearable, self contained camera that is supporting this kind of resolution and is still easy to use as of this point in time…as far as I know. It will be interesting to see how this compares to the [...]
