My kit is from 2 years ago and I mostly ride XC and road these days. Those are my only excuses for riding like a hack. Enjoy, if you like bikes and summer.

The problem here is obvious. Those jumps beforehand? What's up 2002 bar turns? This is 2011, you need to pretend to scrub those, would have set you up so much better for that turn and you wouldn't have eaten face so hard.

Dude, you're wearing straps with your Leatt, hell you're wearing a Leatt! Where are your monster stickers? You've angered the flat brimmed gods. Get with the program, son.

Great footage of some great trails and finally some video evidence that you can not effectively tuck and roll with a Leatt. Glad that one is solved.

Not really. I tuck and roll effectively wearing a leatt in this video from last season. I think it was the fact that I had a 4ft pole attached to my helmet in this video that makes it seem that way. I didn't really know people thought you couldn't roll with a leatt? Seems silly to me?

Great videos, thanks for sharing.

I try to hit Sunday River a few times in the summer. For what they have to work with in terms of manpower and resources, they do a great job.

What band is that in the second one? I know it's the 80's British band that the singer hung himself, but can't remember the name.

*edit* Joyride! That's the band.

Awesome footage. I spent a few days in Sunday River about 3 years ago in the winter, I ran into a bunch of guys chillin in the hot tub that ran the park, we got to talking about DH and they said they were in the beginning stages of getting some runs up and going and the lifts running. Seems to have come a long way from what I see, awesome work. Thats only about 2 hours more of a drive for me then MSA so ill be checking it out in seasons to come. Cheers.

You were obviously out riding while everyone else was slinging poo in the leatt thread.

Do you ever snag that pole on trees in corners?

Yeah, I definitely missed that thread. Probably on purpose. :p Business as usual on here though from the looks of it. Suspension warmers? Of course you can roll in a leatt. O' tubes.

Haven't snagged it on any trees. But I also avoid some of the proper tight double-black runs off the backside when I wear it. The trails in the videos were machine-cut blues. The good stuff would be damn hard to film (being hard enough to shred), and would probably look slow and lame on video anyway due to the nature of helmet cameras.

Band in video #2 is Joy Division :disgust1:

Glad ya'll like!
