O'Neal are no stranger to the mountain bike scene having been worn by many a rider over the years from the local woods to the World Cup scene. Having dropped from my radar a few years ago they were brought sharply back into focus last summer when I spent some time in Europe with their UK distributor, Col Williams, the face of Fli-Distribution. And having borrowed some of the 2009 kit out there I was left suitably impressed and so made a resolution to track down some of their new stuff for 2010 when it was available. Roll on to winter and being delivered is a box filled with their latest and brightest kit.

I have been riding for years with skate shoes and flat pedals. In my search for the perfect shoe and pedal combination I have tried all the major brands of shoes and pedals. Recently I have been pretty happy with Deity Decoy Pedals and Nike 6.0 shoes. The issue I have with skate shoes is that after a couple of months my pedals eat away the grip where I place my foot on the pedal. This usually does not cause a great deal of problems until the trail gets wet and sloppy.

When it comes to video, I’m a rookie. I’ve spent countless hours shooting still images, and a fair bit of time on the athlete side of video production, but when it comes to aspect ratios, frames per second, editing timelines, or encoding, I’ve got a lot to learn. In an ideal world, I would have jumped into the video scene by upgrading my DSLR body to something like a Nikon D300s, but with these coming in around $1500 CAD, that wasn’t in the cards.
