East Bound and Down: Davis, West Virginia
I have to say, I was able to ride out near Davis for a few days and it was great. I have also seen the evolution of the Pisgah area, and have a plea to the good folks in Davis.
1) Timberline is a little (potential) gem. To have lift-served gravity so close by is a huge plus for having a riding destination. They just need to grow a bit, to at least the point of having a rental fleet...maybe a lift upgrade...or maybe something Blackwater will eventually look into (rentals) if the number of visiting gravity enthusiasts can increase.
2) Please, please, please...keep it natural and gnarly...where chundery fall lines can exist with maintenance, not become extinct through sanitization. It has been heart breaking to see some of our favorite trails/lines reworked down in NC and the result being a completely different character of trail. It looks like Davis has the potential to be the next Brevard...I just hope that if that happens, the quest for sustainablity is balanced with maintaining a full range of the mountain bike experience, including fall line "holy crap" type trails and lines. I see a few in pics above and it makes me want to visit again....for a bit longer to explore more!
For as much as these new ride centers offer, there is so much they do not offer that can only be obtained in the natural gnar of the mountains. Unfortunately, many of these previously natural and raw destinations are starting to go the way of designed flow, and less-and-less places to go to experience the "Wild and Wonderful" aspect of the mountain bike experience, where you have to find the flow through the chunder!

Shimano Sports Camera CM-1000 - Review
I have been riding with this cam for over a year now because it was given to me. A few things stand out, and not in a good way.
1) The lense durability is atrocious. On my 4th lense due to easily scratching. Um...action sports cam should not scratch so easily.
2) I need to remove the SD card from the camera to do anything on a computer, like edit the vids. Would make more sense if you could just connect wired to the computer and read directly from the camera, but nope. A minor PITA.
3) Support is crap. Basically there is none. I was told by the app that I needed to update the firmware, and it wouldn't connect to the camera until I did...a fun surprise when trying to watch the vids on a long drive back from a trip. The online instructions neglected to mention the SD card should be reformated first prior to loading the update. So basically, the update doesn't work after following the instructions, you have no idea why, and there is no support to contact and find out WTF is going on. Fortunately, I tried formating the card first (after about 2 hours of searching online for an answer) on a whim and it finally worked.
So if anyone is using this thing, and pulling their hair out over the firmware update not working, that is the solution.
