2 years ago today I went on an epic bike ride with the crew… This crew has been riding together for many years, most of the time on hardtails, as a group, as fast as you can imagine. On this special day I documented the rough ride and the pain of pinning it on wet technical Squamish single track, up and down. *WARNING* this is a long and raw POV video with swear words and I spit a lot. And now with no further delay, PK Vision presents…
For those who know me and can find laptop enjoyment in a bumpy point of view for an extended period of time, here’s a raw cut of what it’s like to hammer a mountain bike for 30 minutes of non stop downhill. By special request, PK Vision presents ‘Tenquille Burn Turns’. **Warning** this is 25 minutes of RAW POV FOOTAGE
You know when you’re in that special place with that special someone… Well this is as far as I’ll go with a dude and a bike. Here’s a short POV video of my riding buddy Gray on Tenquille trail, enjoy!
So far 2009 has been good to me and my mountain bike. The season started off with a new 6″ whip from Norco and lots of time and energy to ride it. Along the way I captured many hours of helmet cam footage and I recently got a chance to sit down at the computer to check it. Turns out its hard to watch sometimes and many of the shots did’t work out; either a poor angle or just too bouncy, too fast. These helmet cams units are great but I need to remind myself that they’re a work in progress, and anything captured is bonus.
Taking some highlighted clips, I’ve cut a quick video to share some great moments via my helmet. It’s raw and bumpy. Featured are a few of my friends who are some of the best riders on the planet, in order of appearance: 1) Pouch in Park City, 2) Larry in Nelson BC, 3) Gray flying down Windy Pass, 4) Jeremy Schaab in the mud and snow on Verbier, 5) Chris Winter in Zermatt, and 6) wrapping it up behind Mark D on various Swiss Alp gems. The music track is heavy metal for obvious reasons.

Here’s a couple short helmet cam videos captured last month at Baldface cat skiing with a VIO POV1.5 on my head. I recorded over 5 hours of sweet pow laps in 2 days. Here’s a taste…
Mountains are powerful. Their beauty, dangers, diversity, and majestic lines draws me to the mentally shralped zone. Here’s a few I’ve pondered this season, photos by PK

Its on. Be prepared for more clips of epicness as the internet video content machine grows. There’s a lot going down out there and uploading in here so I’m dedicating my blog to those who rip, on the internet!
Here’s a POV video of a gnasty line on Blackcomb.
