I’m not sure precicely what it is… I guess I just think it looks cool, but ever since the Schweppervensance commercial a few years ago I’ve been a sucker for anything slow motion. I guess if you slow anything down to 2000+ frames per second it’s bound to look pretty neat. Some BMX, some rain, [...]

It’s been a particularly busy couple of weeks, and certainly days, for me recently with my volunteer role for the 2011 Kokanee Edmonton Canada Cup cross country MTB race, as well as my own full-time work duties for Edmonton’s Cap EX. Having two events kick off on the same weekend, means you need to be [...]

Driven Episode 4: Driven by Yellow from PROG21 on Vimeo. Yellow has been my favourite colour for a long time, but it wasn’t until I saw this video that I realized that I actually didn’t consciously associate it with anything. I’d never made any connection between my favourite yellow jacket, which hangs in the front [...]

Stage Three (the final leg) of the inaugural Fernie edition of the Furious 3 mountain bike race is in the bag! It was another early morning start (8am) for racers, and despite an initial false start due to reports there was a train blocking the route out of town, everything got underway smoothly. There were [...]

Stage Two of the Furious 3 mountain bike race began with an early morning 8am start, as racers were sent off in three waves. The first wave was comprised of the racers who’d posted the fastest times yesterday. Team Mike & Mike (Team PEDAL) were in this group today, having come in an impressive 7th [...]

Riders rolled into the start area en mass with gleaming bikes, and high expectations for the first day of Fernie singletrack, and based on what everyone said afterwards, it delivered in spades. Though the first stage today, was by some measure, ‘short’ (40km), the elevation gain more than made up for it, with the course [...]

Well kids, the long weekend awaits – For some of us that means racing, for others relaxing, but let’s hope that you find some time to hop on the saddle and ride. Here’s some inspiration to get your weekend going: Basically a pilot-project,something that Andi Wittmann thought about for a while, and then came over to [...]

It’s no secret both Sheldon and I are fans of the Rapha films… Though sometimes chided for their ‘epic’ use of grainy black and white imagery, you can’t dispute the quality and care that goes into their garments (so I’m told), or their films. This film is no different, but what I really enjoyed was [...]

As some of you may know, bikeridr dabbles in film making from time to time. I think one of our very first posts was actually a film we made riding in Kananaskis. Good times. Of course, we’ve made others since, including the 2010 Transrockies series, Cowbell and most recently, Rouler. None of these are meant [...]

2011 Tour of California — Intro from RAPHA on Vimeo. Always one to enjoy a good bike film, I wanted to highlight the series of short web-films from Rapha about their own 2011 Tour of California experience. Of course, Rapha, already being known for their unique style, these short films don’t disappoint, offering an effective [...]
