I had planned to post this up after the Fall ride, but with the bike "in the shop" this past weekend I was able to wrap up shooting yesterday. This is a collection of footage starting back in the Spring. The quality loss on the upload is more than desired, but I guess it'll do. See ya'll this weekend.

Very cool video man! It looks great! Maybe this weekend we can get a few more shots of people in the air, just to add to it. I'll be sure to bring my camera too!

nice vid...motivates me to try harder next season to make it out there.

i have a question though: would it be safe to assume that if my bottlerocket handled nearly every trail on the western slope of snowshoe, including hairball, that it'll work ok for WR as well? (ie: how does windrock compare to snowshoe) i no longer have a dedicated DH rig so my BR has to do everything.

Last time I was at WR there was a guy that was destroying that place on a bottlerocket. It obviously won't be as plush as a DH bike but you could still have a good time. You probably want to avoid Southern Rocks though (I still have 2 more years before I'm going to ride that trail again). :D

Maybe this weekend we can get a few more shots of people in the air, just to add to it. I'll be sure to bring my camera too!

That is easily one of the most difficult trails in the Southeast.

It's been a while since I was last at the Rock. But as I recall there is almost no dirt on Southern Rocks, just rocks, boulders, square edge rocks, rounded rocks, wheelie drop boulders, and more rocks. You're more likely to find a hooker teaching sunday school than finding anything that resembles soil on that trail.

Next year...
