The Butterfly Saga: Season 2, Episode 7 - Video
With a new bike comes new opportunities. This past week Pat finally received his new Santa Cruz V10 frame - the new Gloss Blue colour with Mint decals. Choosing to upsize from his medium frame, now on a large Pat seems to feel even more comfortable on the already great bike. He says it is extra stable through the rough and has helped to make his whips come even more naturally, and it really shows! For me, it has brought extra colour to my photos and just looks badass. To celebrate the occasion we headed back to where it all started - the trail which Pat and I first filmed on. Creating another RAW video to replicate the last, this time we had full sun and a great amount of wind, a huge contrast to the last time of thick fog throughout the day.

This trail! Those manuals! That hub noise! Are your videos only visible to aussies Matt? If so the world is missing out!

There are only a select few of my article that have been published to the world wide homepage - I would love more of them to get there! Unfortunately the editors have the choice here and most of the time it's chosen to only show Australia, and fair enough for what they choose, it's what they believe people will want to see. I'm constantly working as hard as I can to progress my work to a standard where everything is shown to the world, one day...

@velociraptor-clintthrust: The ability to make it a job so that I can be around them 24/7. That's the dream anyway! LEt's see where I'm at this time next year when school is out of the way.

@MattStaggs: Damn, I was also going to ask, looks primo. Fair enough though, if they are private trails then don't give out the details to anyone!
