Hey guys,
Went and shot some video today, damn was it great couple of big moves nothin huge...Skinny was huge with interstate 35 underneath me!!! Big consequences if I fell...the stair gap doesn't look big on video but sure felt, and the wall ride was just plain fun!!! Sorry for the crappy quality, it was captured from video...Enjoy!!!

hey, can some tell me how to make them in the text instead of attachments??? Is there a way to do it without having to have them hosted, like on MTBR I can just upload them there they are, they aren't attachments.

Thanks
Buck

Yeah dude,

That is from video capture...if I had friends that took pic like that with a still camera I would punch them in the face...:p...to my knowledge NO one can take a pic that bad with a still camera!!! LOL It was some sic footage that turned out great!!! Quality is crappy b/c I used windows moviemaker to capture the stills...thanks for check 'em out!

You can post them in the pictures section here on MORC. Then you can link to the picture in your posts. That's how I did my On-One picture. I only post pics in the MORC pictures section if it's MTB related (with a few wife exceptions...:)). Like when I do SUVs and stuff, I either use the location I found them at or host them myself. Once the image is there, you can right click on it and get the properties and find out the URL link. Instead of using the attachments button, you can use the picture link.

As a former Duluthian who still occasionally gets up there, I am curious where those shots were taken.


How is Hartley this year?

The shots were taken from a number of locales, LIncoln Park, Across the street from the public library is where the stairs were, the skinny is along i-35 at the UMD exit(21st street)...Hartley has been really fun, I've only ridden it once since I got up here, with all the rain we've had I'm affraid to go back there, since half the trail is through the swamp, but fun trail none the less, I love to pedal my BH over the roots and such...now only if they would open up Chester Bowl to bikes...

I thought those steps looked familiar-just couldn't place them.

I have many fond memories of riding Chester Bowl and Chester creek between fourth street and the bowl before they gave bikes the boot.

Yeah I had some good times rippin it before it was totally and legally closed, until some dude let his dog go on me and started yellin at me...we hiked half way back up so he could show me my supposed skid mark, we never found any, at that point he theatened to call the cops...I said sorry man, this isn't legally closed yet I started to leave then he started hollarin some more, and I said I'll talk to you when your dog is on a leash, he then started to walk away...he was breakin the law...thank god for the leash law!!! Man that was a scary run in, some people power trip pretty bad!
