New trail development - unnamed

[accadacca]

Sickness. . .

[glasscutter]

Very cool trail, looks like alot of hard work but it'll be great when it's done!

[greyhair biker]

The first trail, Lunatic Fringe, has a sign now - and some deer as usual

[greyhair biker]

I almost forgot. The 'new' trail - the one with the bridge off the big rock - has nearly been doubled in length and has several sick ladders/bridges added...sorry, no pics yet but incredible just the same!

wyoming is just too far, where in wyoming is this? google earth it for me/

[greyhair biker]

Here you go...or you can Google Earth Green River, WY 82935

[greyhair biker]

here are a few more from last nights ride. The new trail flows very well and there are many new bridges and ladders...just havent come up with a name for the trail yet...

[greyhair biker]

cheezy mugshot from todays ride. Had to check out the trails, and they are sweet. Hot out today but still bearable. No one else out here for miles it seemed...a few deer & lots of bunnies. Dry as a bone.

[greyhair biker]

a few more from my group up here.

[greyhair biker]

Went out Saturday morning hiking the last section of the trail, decided to try to take some video....ended up going back out on it that afternoon and taking the bike for my maiden offroad voyage and many more videos. I've posted them on YouTube so I'll only put a few on here for now.
video from the morning hike:


some from the afternoon:





this one was actually from up near the trailhead :

Very nice ! That looks like a lot of fun. It's good to see that you don't hold any hard feelings towards the Salsa. It is the same one that cast you off its back and took you out for the season, right?

video from the morning hike

Sweet, one of these days we'll get up there to ride it.

Hey, what were you filming with, and what software did you use to compress it? Looks like pretty high resolution on YouTube.

[greyhair biker]

I have forgiven the Salsa...it still is a fun ride.

Ok Beech'...I am about illiterate when it comes to video. I just used my Canon PowerShot SD550 ELPH 7.1mp with video feature to take these. I don't have a clue of what I'm doing but I did figure out that in this mode the videos better be short or they will be too big to upload. I will invest in a real video setup in the spring( I can get them from my bikepart suppliers)

What price can you get for the Helmet Hero Wide? It retails at $189

I say apparently because my supplier has it listed as discontinued...means I can't get the 'wide' - don't even have it listed.

Helmet Hero Wide is discontinued? It was my understanding that this was recently released and replacing the less expensive option. Weird.

That model was discontinued by my supplier. I don't think that means it was by the camera MFG. Bike part suppliers have a tendency to do that almost yearly AND I only know what I see in my catalog...like I said, I am illiterate when it comes to this stuff

[greyhair biker]

I just discovered that the new Hero Wide you are referring to is coming out in the 09 catalog...it is probably available from someone(other than my supplier). My info is for the 08 - I guess I'm in the middle of the year/model change and don't have all the info I need. Nothing is discontinued...my supplier just needs a few bolts tightened in his neck I'll do better research on it and updates to follow.

check out their website:

[Kent K25]

Good, that makes more sense. I thought it was a brand new release, guess it is.

Thanks for the update.

Here's a short video from this mornings' ride with the helmet camera.



I tooke this at the downhill section
