Aaron Gwin and Charlie Harrison - Bootleg Canyon

TOP! A pista é do melhor.
Já reparei que os POVs do Gwin tem partes tão rápidas e tão fluídas que parece inacreditável.
Mas tem explicação, ele consegue atingir grande velocidade, vai aos limites, e não perde fluidez.
Por isto é um dos mais rápidos do mundo.

Ultimate Freeride Line - Episode 1, Nico Vink and Antoine bizet in Utah.

Fantástico.
Isto promete, "não percam o próximo episódio que eu tambem não".

Morocco 2013

Maravilha! Depois de ver este video, fico com certezas que Marrocos, tem tudo para organizar um evento do género do Redbull Rampage. O Rampage ainda é o único evento de verdadeiro freeride, em que os riders constroem as linhas para as suas runs.
Eu acredito que á mais lugares no mundo onde á boas "condições" para eventos desse género, por exemplo Austrália e Argentina. Os freeriders anseiam por mais eventos, no futuro haverá mais.

Mountain bike videos: La Palma, Ilhas Canarias

As ilhas Canárias ficam próximo do Funchal, para sul e tambem oeste de Marrocos.
Partilho aqui 4 videos interessantes, resultado dessa pesquisa.

Jack Fogelquist - All Work & No Play

Trilhos muito bons, no entanto pareceu-me que houve um pouco de "retocagem" a mais, por vezes acontece.
Quando estamos a construir uma cena para ficar top, tanto retiramos ou acrescentamos, que perde a simplicidade natural. Outro exemplo disto é quando vemos uma mulher muito pintada e maquilhada, achamos que ela ficava melhor com um aspecto mais natural. Isto é a matemática da coisas.

Fuerteventura

Espectáculo! este edit aparece na mesma semana em que fiz uma pesquisa para ver videos de mountain bike nas Ilhas Canárias. Vi uma dúzia de videos que deu para ter uma pequena ideia da beleza das ilhas. Já escolhi 3 ou 4 mais interessantes, falta só publicar o post.

Grande aventura! Tatras é parte dos Cárpatos, uma enorme cadeia de montanhas na Europa. Os pontos altos em Tatras passam os 2000 metros de altitude, um pouco mais que a nossa Serra da Estrela. Mas subir a pé, debaixo de neve, com a bike dh e a mochila, é quem gosta mesmo de mtb.

DESCRIPTION: Peter Lengyel - This short clip is about mountain bike freeriding in a beautiful mountains of West Tatras, Slovakia.
