Brett Tippie, Geoff Gulevich, Andrew Baker, and Dave McInnes night riding in North Vancouver, BC. We hit some big bike tech, dirt jumps, pumptrack, BMX track, and some flowy all mountain XC trails well after sunset. We were rocking the NiteRider lights which allowed us to shred well past curfew!

Since the film is called NiteRider, does Tippie call his bike 'Kitt'? It would be awesome to see a red light flashing back and forth on the front of a Rocky. Just don't compare Tippie to Hasselhoff...
Awesome! Brings back memories, we used to night ride Galbraith here in Bellingham, Wa about 20 years ago! Ride up to top for sunset then down the mountain with lights a blazing!!!
There should be a night stage of the EWS ... Would be wicked. PS went on my first night ride by myself tonight, was a little weird having a other wise busy place all to myself..
I am pretty sure there has been night stages at some of the french enduro series races before. And yes it would be cool with a night stage in the EWS...
Tippie, I need a night riding light!!!!!! I want to start night riding because it Cali it gets so hot during the day, but a good light is so expensive. Tippie, if you have a light lying around can you send it to me?!!!??????? Its probably a long shot just posting it on Pinkibike but hey, there is nothing like the mountain bike community, its awesome!!
do it properly and get two lights - one for the helmet and one for the bars. run the brightest light on the bars so the trail doesn't appear so 'flat'.
Sweet edit, looks fun to ride in the dark. I night ride all the time, but it's never dark enough to need a light. We only get about two weeks of bike season where it actually gets dark up here in the North.
Camera's are weird at night though - I've tried my gopro at night and it is crap! It just shows a little circle of light when, in reality, you can see so much more. As long as you have half decent lights you can go pretty much the same speed just as safely, and where's the fun in going slow!?! :-)
i have this light. its cheap REALLY bright and last very long!
