Video: Snow Shredding At Samerberg

 That photo of him at the end is going to end being POD just going to say that now

 Desktop background set! And I'm going to make it a point to go night riding soon, and then again when it starts snowing... Awesome, inspiring edit!

 Sheeeeit... P.O.Y.!!!

 POD within a VOD...funny it was only snowing where his light was shining...??

 Snow riding can just frustrating but man you just shred like there`s no tomorrow!

don’t be so naive! politics facilitates companies into making these bikes and these lights ... and finding a market to sell them!
Politics what makes you able to have money to buy these products!
I think its childish to say the video is better than 6 months of past politics!
Everything is politics dependent.

 My new desktop backroung photo for the rest of my life

 haha!

 can't believe he attempted that gap in the snow! crazy!

 Snow is more predictable than you think but honestly, sending that drop with a snowy landing and at night no less... maniacal. Where's that picture on here? I feel that's a good candidate for picture of the year

 You Obviously Lack Originality

 i can't take it anymore! these guys hitting drops in snow and at night bigger than the drops i would hit in summer and broad daylight!!!!!! freaking crazy!!!!!

 What's really crazy is riding at night while it is actually snowing. All those big flakes reflecting light in your face can be wicked disorienting. Guys got some serious balls!

 It's not as expensive as you think if you are careful - you can buy cheap Chinese lights for about £50 at the moment, and they are (theoretically rated at) 900 lumen. Don't get me wrong, Lupines are incredibly powerful and nice for those who can afford them, but if you are wanting to test out whether you like night riding or not and/or are on a budget you can't go wrong with these...

(unless, as rumor has it, the battery explodes while charging - I bought a smart charger as well to be on the safe side...)

For example - dx.com/p/ha-iii-cree-ssc-p7-c-sxo-3-mode-900-lumen-led-headlamp-set-4-18650-included-29489

Some people go down the torch route as well which is even cheaper - just take out a couple of rechargeable batteries with you when you go out and replace as and when needed...

This torch for example is (again theoretically capable of) 975 lumen and just over £20, although you would need to factor in the cost of batteries and a charger to total cost - dx.com/p/ultrafire-kh-t60-ha-ii-xm-lt60-5-mode-1200-lumen-white-led-flashlight-1-x-18650-57006

(The two examples I've linked are just the first I found in a quick search so please don't assume they are the best money can buy and have a look at all the options before clicking 'buy'!)

Finally, I would recommend 2 lights though - 1 on the bars and 1 on the helmet. It gives better vision and you have a backup should one break in the middle of nowhere... It gets REALLY dark under tree cover in particular!

 Myself and most of the people I ride with run those lights, they're fantastic! and as with an Li-ion battery pack, you've got to be careful when charging them...

 Been night riding for nearly 20 years. Friday nights are our regular night rides, all year, all weather. I have invested in a marvelous NightRider product that allows me to ride anything I want on the trails, and have cars flashing their high beams when I commute on the road bike. Lights haven't always been in the hundreds or thousands of lumines, and we rode with them and had the time of our lives. The newer LEDs and batteries offer longer life and more light than we ever dreamed of in the early days. It is good to be familiar with the woods at night. They are far less scary as they become your night-time playground. Yes the sounds are different, but that's because you're sharing the trail with no other humans than the friends with whom you're riding. Try it. I ride in the dark more than I ride in the daylight.

 Just props for slimboyjim. The new LED lamps aren't that expensive as they might seem to be and having two is almost a necessity to have the inner part of corners lit...

Here's one polish site that may give you some comparison across the board (at least those available in Poland or on DX) www.light-test.info/index.php?option=com_content&view=category&layout=blog&id=39&Itemid=59&lang=en

 Cold snow won't stick, warm snow will. Ever have it too cold to make a snowball? That's when you can ride. As far as wrecking components, I think most will be fine under sane riding conditions, although your damping oil in shocks/forks can thicken up.

 with the oil getting harder with colder tempuratures, wouldn't you be way more likely to blowout a seal?

 if it is extremely cold then you should use oil with a lower viscosity. air springs will also be affected a little, i.e. you should bike a with a bit higher pressure. do also expect you pedals and drivetrain to get clogged with icey snow on longer tours.

 Its possible if its really cold to have water freeze on your station and push past the seal filling your fork with water but it got to be mega cold.

 "but it got to be mega cold.".......well, i'm not THAT Canadian. lol Thanks all for the replies.

 Yes, Sir! Thanks for the correction: SAMERBERG.
