This crash vid is my current favourite - http://www.vorb.org.nz/ftopicp-607331.html#607331 - a guy on a singlespeed hardtail completely and utterly fails to clear a gap.
I wish! The clip isn't meant to be a advert for GT - we just used getting the bike as an excuse to make the clip. But I wouldn't say no if someone came up and went "ooh ooh film our new bike - we'll pay you for it and everything" :D
I've now uploaded the clip in Mpeg format as lots of people...
That is the question - as you can see in both clips it can get pretty windy there (the valley opens out onto a very turbulent stretch of ocean.) With the wind like that it's hard to tap it out along the ridges. However, people do get hell pace into the "Pig Chute" (often with bad consequences -...
Cheers for the props. We're hoping to make some more short clips showing New Zealand riders and riding. Short is good cos you can share it through the web and I have the attention span of a goldfish.
Morning lads
I got my hands on a pre-production GT IT1 and took it up to the Long Gully trails in Wellington, NZ. A mate of mine who's a freelance cameraman/editor came along with his camera and we got quite a kick-ass little clip out of it.

Drop In came and sessioned Long Gully for Season 4 - Steve Romaniuk sprained his hand on entry to the "Pig Chute" and Randy Spangler needed 15 stitches after he overshot the transistion. That section bites quite a few people - you need the nads to keep the speed tapped down the chute, but not go...
Here's a 4 minute video clip showing some DH action and spills from a round of the New Zealand Downhill Nationals held at Long Gully earlier this year. The wind stopped the riders from really launching, but there's still some damn fine action.

Hey Dromong - spent 14 hours shuttling on my new singlespeed hardtail (which now looks wrecked.) Wish you were here ;)
Though chairlifts do sound good - the inside of the Hearse is a bit... ...filthy...
Anyway - this is a reminder about the Online Dirt Jump Competition - here be the...
I miss you to sweetie pie :heart:
Beautiful sunny Welly-winter day today - we've got two days of shuttling planned for the weekend - wish you were here? :thumb:

I clicked ssk's signature and almost went mad...
Anyway, where was I - oh yeah, I've done my time at a LBS - 4½ years (3 years back admittedly,) and I thought I'd just jump in with something...
Last night I was at a trials competition, there was almost someone from every L.B.S. at the...
