Sat 03/20....41 miles with Mad_One (missing in action nearly 6 months) and El Monarcha, and Gina. A glimpse of the shy MTBLurker at the coast. Not much happening but now it's off to Mom's B-day party.:D

The video isnt working in the message. It made me go to the Youtube site to watch it.
BTW how do you shoot the videos while riding?

Hmm, worked for me but I edited the message and re-entered it to make sure! Thanks for the headsup!;)

I ride with one hand! I use a mount on the handlebars on fast 40 mph descents but otherwise, everything is done with one hand and riding with the other!:D

The last video with HillBasher to Crystal Lake and the video with Grrlyrida up GMR, I did the descents by hand (no mount). Much easier panning the camera to different directions. I shot on sections with straightaways, then a quick tuck of the recorder into the jersey pocket before hitting the next switchback. A little scary at times but it works!;)

Once again I am jealous of your great and seemingly endless miles of bike paths - looks like another fun ride! I don't know how you manage to do all that one-handed riding without losing control, but here's to hoping that you never do and that you keep providing us with these great vids!

Haha! On a trail like this, I can ride for miles without any hands. So one is actually pretty easy!:D
