Spring Dig

4th time on the 7D. Purely an arty digging film getting the trails ready for summer, more to brush up on editing than anything else, so this is a disclaimer if you think its boring! Here it is in HD http://vimeo.com/38781079 Check me out on Facebook! http://www.facebook.com/pages/Chris-Adam-Photography/298696593492112

You've got such a sick setup here! Including the little hut! Wish I had somewhere like that to ride

There's a few old vids on my profile. All pretty poor.

Chris is going to make a sick edit when it all dries up

Surrey. Message me if you want to dig. Then maybe you can have a ride.

Dude, Your trails look great! So jealous of that dirt..

jonnyfaulkner (Mar 20, 2012 at 17:19)

I wouldn't be that jealous, it's a bitch.

derfmtb (Mar 21, 2012 at 4:20)

Is it? Ours is full of rocks and gravel. Its the worst.

jonnyfaulkner (Mar 21, 2012 at 4:40)

It just cracks up and gets ruined unless you consistently beat it in! One of the lips in the vid has had like 10 beat'ins this year and it hasn't been rode yet.

derfmtb (Mar 21, 2012 at 4:43)

Jesus christ! Surely if you pack it solid then tarp it it'll set?

jonnyfaulkner (Mar 21, 2012 at 10:14)

Nope if you beat something in and leave it to dry up under a tarp it just ends up a cracked up mess. Have to keep beating it every week or so as it drys. We even use a different dirt for layering. It's better but still not the best.
