Winter Videos
Snow looks good on camera - show your snow.
I fellow BF'er turned me on to a great place to upload vids up to 100 meg:
https://ul8.rapidshare.de/
Here's the catch,
This link for your file (mpeg, avi, whatever) will take someone who wants to view it to a page where they must scroll down, and pick the "free" column for download.
That will then take them to a d/l page. They scroll down again, wait for a countdown queue, and then they have to verify 3 letter/numbers in a gif format (ya know where they put a few letters that you must type into a submission box, to verify you're not a bot)
Basically it's a bit of a PITA, but what do you want for a free place to store big files?
It works, it doesn't F with my firewall, and it's FREE.
So check out my winter fest: 5 miles (the clip is only about 90 seconds of it - 15 meg file) of snowmobile packed powerline trail, with all sortsa moguls. (Whats great about this is that in summer there is no way to ride this trail because of the 3 inches of soft sand that makes up the damn thing!

Super thanks, Bikepacker67.
Just curious, what was the temperature? It looks like the snow was fairly solid.

Rapidshare is a bit too much of a PITA.
But luckily, a fellow BF'er turned me on to this hosting site:
Zippy Files
Direct link to the video, and in streaming format, so you don't even need to download the file!

Besides, Rapidshare has a (hourly?) bandwidth limit for free downloads from a same IP. This can be royally miscalculated, apparently depending on how all various ISPs handle their traffic. I get "download limit exceeded" maybe once in every two attempts.

Ummm... I really don't know.
I haven't been out of the house for 3 days
Just looking at it, I'd say about 2 inches of slushy type.

I did the same thing late last summer!
Climbing a steep trail on the MTB. Under the knee, the doc said missed shearing the tendons by an inch. Only 5 stitches though.
Still can't ride the MTB like I used to... running into the earth really hurts!
I heard Mass and CT got some good snow.

7-8 mph?
I was doing 4-5 up a steep technical.
Sucks to think what would happen if we were really moving!
You'll have a nice scar.
Yours is a frown though, mine is a smiley!

What were you doing here?
Maybe it wasn't such a coincidence that you had the crash???? No offense, but you gotta respect the ice. Maybe you thought your studded tires were capable of more than they truly are.
On www.icebike.com it talks about traction provided by studded tires, it says that there is probably a lot more than most non cyclists realize and probably not as much as most cyclists think. I think that is accurate in this case.

I see. Well, not trying to make any rash judgements, but that dude is heading for a crash some day. I am much too chicken to do stuff like that on the ice.
