The bit with the moto in the foreground spitting dirt and the bike in the back gapping that line was insane. Such a well thought out and creative shot. Thouroughly impressed.

bet it would make a great poster for a bike shop or anything bike related shop.

@zulki-fly: Dead on! A poster with that shot went out with the winter issue of @FreehubMag and we'll be giving them out at the Maxxis tent of select early 2017 races.

The guy likes to camp with friends/family who do too. This makes me think of all the good times I've had with people I love doing the things I love doing.

apart from the horrific dust specs on the camera's sensor, it's an awesome video story!

Maxxis (Feb 22, 2017 at 14:13)

Check the earlier episodes. Darren and Ricky crush some Caineville spines on their motos in episode 3

Great to see Darren in his natural environment! Had me reminiscing the old NWD days!

I've been here 29 years and he is right that it just keeps getting better. Welcome to the valley.

jimmythehat (Feb 22, 2017 at 23:15)

A growing trend then, annoying, at least over here we haven't adopted the term

jflb (Feb 24, 2017 at 7:35)

Still crying about people saying moto?
Moto
Moto
Moto
Take that jimmy the hat

jimmythehat (Feb 24, 2017 at 12:01)

I think you mean motocross?

scott-townes (Feb 22, 2017 at 8:29)

No, he doesn't race motocross.... that's a bit different.

jimmythehat (Feb 22, 2017 at 9:10)

@scott-townes: Yeah I know. GNCC, we call it Enduro bikes (WEC), and Dakar (Rally Raid) I've never heard of moto though. MX or Motocross, or if you want to go back to the origins of the sport in the UK then Scramblers. Of course it doesn't matter but you don't call mtb Hill biking or something equally silly. A moto is a single motocross race, of which there are two for each class to decide the overall result. Dont get me started on people who say Rally Car Racing either. Agreed..........I should get a life.

scott-townes (Feb 22, 2017 at 9:19)

@jimmythehat: I know what the term "moto" is in racing but its also a very common abbreviated term for motorized bikes aka dirt bikes...

jimmythehat (Feb 22, 2017 at 10:37)

@scott-townes: Maybe on that side of the pond, don't make it right, dirt bikes is fine.

ryetoast (Feb 22, 2017 at 11:20)

Mr. Hat, you have embarked on a singular crusade...

jimmythehat (Feb 22, 2017 at 12:10)

@ryetoast: but noble one

Morebike (Feb 22, 2017 at 17:14)

@jimmythehat: go kick a football (soccer on this side of the pond) you're a cranky wanker

ryetoast (Feb 22, 2017 at 17:42)

In the context of pinkbike, I think the term "moto" makes more sense than "dirt bike". Everything on this site is a bike that goes on dirt but very few of them have motors.

Also, please inform the EWS, etc that they are in fact a mountain bike rally or stage race series as they do not require any timekeeping.

KGAmoto (Feb 22, 2017 at 19:20)

@jimmythehat: I'm with you - the mtb community calls them "motos". People that actually ride / race off-road motorcycles call them dirt bikes or, as I call them, motorcycles (go figure) - we call the-sport-of-motocross, "moto". Not the motorcycles.

But whatever - at least the tone of this is positive. Both sports can mix and its ok!

theperfectline (Feb 22, 2017 at 21:32)

@jimmythehat: moto is slang for a dirt bike here in NZ too

scott-townes (Feb 22, 2017 at 21:36)

@KGAmoto: Yeah that's not true. I know plenty of people who only ride moto that call it moto. Its actually very common........

jimmythehat (Feb 22, 2017 at 23:17)

@scott-townes: you can ride motocross, doesn't mean you know shit about the history or culture,

jimmythehat (Feb 23, 2017 at 3:57)

@Morebike: American football, a game played in the hand, good one USA. No ida what soccer is.

Morebike (Feb 23, 2017 at 10:30)

@jimmythehat: actually I'm Canadian, but you're still a cranky wanker!!!!

KGAmoto (Feb 23, 2017 at 10:50)

@scott-townes: read what I wrote again - I'm agreeing with you and saying exactly that. Moto is the sport, not the motorcycles themselves.

But seriously, who cares.

jimmythehat (Feb 23, 2017 at 12:39)

@KGAmoto: Moto isn't the sport, that's the point. It's Motocross and always will be.

jimmythehat (Feb 23, 2017 at 13:23)

@ryetoast: it's not an opinion, I'm educating mountain bikers, or trying to.
