VOW: video of the winter...at least for me. Thanks! Everytime it feels cold outside and the weather sucks I watch this video, grab my bike and go shred in the mud, ice, snow. Thanks!

Thanks for the support, this is exactly how we want people to feel about riding - Stoked!

conv3rt (Jan 29, 2012 at 10:54)

Wicked vibe. I think every municipality in BC ought to have a vid like this on their tourism website. Can you tell me where that is?

monkeyboyjc (Feb 3, 2012 at 5:31)

Completely agree with Yeti85 - one of the best winter videos ive seen - great riding,filming,editing and sound track. truely inspirational - makes me want to go and ride now rather than being stuck here in fornt of a PC in an air conditioned office.

Wow awesome vid, makes me want to bust out the xc bike and lights. Loved the night riding section!

diamandbackxsl07 (Feb 3, 2012 at 11:08)

conv3rt (Feb 3, 2012 at 18:19)

Amazing video. You really captured the fun-loving and non-competitive side of mountain biking aswell as making me want to don the lycra and get out on the hardtail. Great job deserves VOD tup

brooce (Feb 3, 2012 at 4:05)

Yeah, nice combination of XC and freeride, of fun and fitness as well - really pleasant to watch in these cold days tup

HOJJJ (Feb 3, 2012 at 11:00)

Well said

You guys have done well. This is such a great edit with a killer vibe. Stoked to see people doing what the love in all conditions and styles of riding.

courtneypool-78 (Feb 3, 2012 at 6:44)

Dang, that was one of the best night filming I have ever seen. I like how they didn't try to light up the whole place with area lights and just showed them flowing through the trail chasing the edge of the beam.

racecar96 (Jan 29, 2012 at 18:24)

i live in florida. this video inspires me to ride. but when i look outside..... i come to the realization that im missing some big element in MOUNTAINbiking.. ;(

courtneypool-78 (Feb 3, 2012 at 6:50)

I live in Louisiana right now and I know how you feel! ... most of the trails I built have turned into long pump tracks. I depend on the jumps and man made obstacles for the adrenaline rush.

MtTaylor (Feb 3, 2012 at 19:52)

I could do that only in Canberra's winters its freezing (mainly from the wind) the frost shows up at about 8 at night so by the time I wake up its still frosty till 12 so the tracks get ruined and its just not worth riding

Worm-Burner (Feb 4, 2012 at 4:21)

Just move a few hours north mate...

MtTaylor (Feb 7, 2012 at 2:26)

Yeh but a few hours north means that I'm driving if I want to have a good ride I like Canberra with few minutes of riding and I'm on the local mountain

If you guys out there ever find a girl like this one, shreds, beautiful, and obviously is just an all around killer girl, never let her out of your sight!!! Mitch, you're one lucky guy!
