  • super slow mo – a test

    Taking photos or shooting footage of friends riding bikes is pretty cool.
    We’re lucky to have some really enthusiastic riders who are just as excited when behind the lens as they are behind bars. You’ve seen the stills that Tom Rickhuss creates, and had a taste of the videos that lay in store from a few others. Well, here’s a little glimpse of what Dan Irons is cooking up…

  • set2rise 2010 – mini video edit

    Well the last one was more like a twisted (shaky and muddy) episode of big brother so I made this…

    …it’s a little more digestible and you won’t need more than one cup of tea to watch it!

  • The BCC Mega bike test (down the allotment)

    This year we’re taking 2 test bikes to the mega courtesy of Max Bikes PR. It’s gonna be ace!

    The Marin Quake XLT 180 7.9 and the Transition Blindside with their long travel, considerable seatpost extension, single crown forks and double ring + bash set-up are aimed squarely at those doing the Mega or any other all day alpine riding.
    So, anyway, before throwing ourselves down any massive mountains we thought we’d take them down the Allotment for a thrash about and some pics… (click ’em to make ’em bigger)
