Tasting the Mud!

With continuous rain the trails are a festival of mud and slime.

Step by Step

Tuesday I picked Jax up early and went for a ride near his school.
There a new rider and very funny dude Beesuke meet up with old timer Nero and I.
We had fun.
This will be Jax's first group ride and I think he liked it!
This is a great park and has lots of cool sections.
Too bad my gopro was dead as there was some cool funny crashes we missed as Beesuke was trying all the had lines, WOW its cool to watch.

Beesuke is on a GT chucker which had a 80mm RST.
So I said we do lots of DH and FR so please try the 55.
He is now riding a hard-tail with 160mm of travel, hahahahahah
Funny thing is its balanced great for DH and jumping!

RidEOn my RideOn friends,
Ricardo and Manny!

Piesberg Downhill

In January the GoPro literally froze on this downhill location sixty kilometers from home, so today you can finally see me ride my Alutech Wildsau Hardride FR down the Piesberg trail. The skull is a warning for hikers not to mess with the race track.

Tronqueira Trail

Today was a national holiday in Portugal...went for a ride as my Dune is already working properly, as she has a new crank from Shimano Deore! Unfortunetly, only one day away from the Sunday race, the weather is not that great for the weekend...tomorrow I will go train on the track, but today, despite the warm rain, I've decided to go for a cool pedaling on this lovely dirt road!

Please enjoy!

RidEOn A gloomy rainy day!

Here in Japan June and July are great months.
Usually full of heavy monsoon storms of hard rain and heavy humid weather in the range of 25-30 degrees and up.
Due to the high humidity we sweat like monkeys looking for bananas on an apple tree!
The weather is very irregular and sometimes very fun!
This Sunday and Tuesday we had an unexpected break of cool humid temperatures along side some off and on sculls of heavy rain.
I slipped 2 times in this video smashing my precious jewels to a ripe blue.
hhhhaahhhahhhahhaha

The video was black on my computer and I had to try really hard to create a clear image of what looks like some crazy colors!
RideOn and please enjoy!

After taking close consideration to the words Raw footage like in Manny's recent video.

I came to an awaking  of new ideas.

The phrase raw footage has many meanings.

For me it means footage directly out of the camera in its raw form.

Well I edited some clips and added color like I always do and edited them together.

Then I took the same clips and put them side by side with no color enhancement what so ever.

You can see the difference between the 2 and the enhanced colors that usually bring my videos alive.

I came up with a big surprising difference between the 2 different states!

This is a test between the raw filmed color on my Gopro HD and then the same edited footage saturated with color.

Editing software is the standard I-movie on the MacBook computer!

RidOEn!

The raw footage comes out kind of gray and the edited colored footage looks alive!

Well, I don't know your editing programs ins and outs but,  if you can change the color or saturation  the flick  then it just might be beneficial to your video in raw or edited state as well!

RideOn my friends of 2 wheeled contraptions!

Goats Trail

There's a religious holiday today and father's day as well. Groups of boys and men are roaming the countryside and getting drunk. I've taken advantage of the bright sunlight to go for a short ride and shoot this video real close to my home. Those are some singletrails you haven't seen yet.

Bag Head!

Like the ignoramus I am I forgot my helmet in a rush to meet Hrio and Tomo for a Tuesday ride.

I wanted some protection so I opted for the new head protection from Captain Stag!
It also dubs as a seat cover for those wet days, hahahhaha
