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 [...]

Never in my life have I seen so many XC riders unable to descend. You can sure tell who has a bit of DH blood in ‘em.

Finally… A reality TV show I can watch ;-) Too bad I don’t get the Travel Channel :-(

Rouler from Sheldon Smart on Vimeo. In preparation for the upcoming riding season, I’ve been training hard, sort of… I mentioned a while back that I picked up a new camera, the Canon 60D. This is of course, not a point & shoot video device, so I need to train up on it, and do [...]

After a week in warmer climates, flying back into snow covered Calgary didn’t do much to invigorate my soul and start getting me amped for spring… This video however, did much to turn the tide :-)

And now, for a musical interlude… Most of us just sit and wait for the governments to take action about climate change Wafalme instead think that together we can, with small actions in our daily life, make a difference. The most simple and innovative solution is coming from a group of kids in the slums [...]
