After watching the short video by the Beijing MOB last week, we were inspired to put together our own short video. What we have here is not it! This is just a bit of footage we shot yesterday morning in an hour or so of riding.
We’ll start some ‘real’ filming this week on better camera and add the footage when it’s done.
Hope you enjoy it!
Hi all,

a. A MOB Mountain Bike trip for the fast guys and girls
b. A “Mushes” Mountain Bike trip for the ones who enjoy taking time
for the colorful autumn scenery
2. 2-Days Hike

hiking! Bring your kids for this, - they will love it. One of the days
we will walk on and along an unrestored part of the Great Wall.

You can always count on Topgear to think of an interesting way to road test the latest sporty little city car, and this was just excellent! Racing a Fiat 500 across Budhapest against two top BMX riders.
Its been 4 years since Red Bull organized the last Rampage, but it seems the wait has been worth while!
It features top level New Zealand riders like Kelly Mc Garry, Cameron Cole, Amy Laird, Sean Kennedy, Eddy Parker and many more. Shot on location all over New Zealand from Wellington to Wanaka and everywhere in between, it features unique locations like an indoor bike park, the impressive Craigieburn ranges and secret trails all over the country.
Enjoy Local dirt jump downhill and freeride acompanied by a unique collection of New Zealand artists, also watch out for hand drawn animations and stop motion. This is New Zealand mountain biking at its finest.
This full length mountain bike video was filmed, produced, directed and edited by Pieter Reichwein and Toby Nowland Foreman.
Well for the past few weeks we’ve continued to ride but our numbers have dwindled as people popped back to home for holidays and what not. Ken, Kuni and myself have continued to ride and Ash and Phil will be back just in time for next Sunday’s ride. I’m hoping to get some of the Olympic guys to come out with us at some point too.
The weather is awesome now. This is really thanks to the Olympics! the air quality is soooo much better than a few months ago, the views from the top of the new DH were amazing on Sunday (unfortunately I didn’t take a still camera). The previous weeks rides were wet and muddy and claimed yet another of my phones 
Bye bye Blackberry you served me well. It was my only stupid fault really. Had a bit of a blond moment where I decided part of the river would be shallow due to the face a duck was swimming about (maybe I was hungover/still drunk?) anyway Kuni and I rode through with water easily coming over the tops of our 6 inch travel forks, but it was surprisingly easy going.
I’m going to try and load a helmet cam video of the new DH in a mo. It’s not very interesting to watch to be honest, but its fun to ride! Got to watch out for those trees though they really make the path narrow.
Update: heres the video (I hope) may take a while to start so be patient.
The Sun Riders are an ex-pat/Chinese bike club based in Hangzhou. Not much is known about them at the moment, but we’re hoping to get details and updates for when and where they ride soon. In the meantime you can sit back and watch this video of the Sun Riders in action!
The latest round of the UCI world cup is here and this time their in Andorra. You can watch all the latest action and chaos live at MTBcut.tv . More details soon!
