Who put that tree there?November 2nd, 2007
Just finished another great round of contest voting, sponsored by Dire Ride Co and here are your winners: 1st | 2nd | 3rd
Lucent Productions' winning video was already an award winning video, but you've decided it deserves our award too. If you missed it, check out "Wherever You Ride".

Got some new goodies for you guys too. We've been giving away tshirts to our contest winners throughout the last year and we just got a new prize in -- mtbmovies First Aid Kits. When I was on vacation I sliced my hand and needed the first aid kit that I keep in my car. More recently, a friend wiped out on his bike on his way to my place and it came in handy again. The lightbulb went on -- what about all the members here that wipe out all-the-time and don't have a first aid kit handy? Well, here you go. We are giving away first aid kits to all of our video contest winners this month and will continue to give them away for a long time! Take care out there.
Announcing onBoard.tvOctober 26th, 2007
A proud mtbmovies sponsor, onBike.tv has changed their name to onBoard.tv. Their helmet cameras are high quality and durable, and in use on more than just bicycles, so they have diversified. We recently received one of their portable DVR systems with helmet cam and I haven't had a chance to play with it yet, but is a very professional and high quality camera system and definitely worth it! I will post a review once I get it out on the trails. Check out our new helmet camera system here

Not Being Able to Ride, Sucks
September 29th, 2007
Recovery is slow. My back still hurts. I can't really stand for long periods of time, and when I do, I pay for it the next day. What really sucks is not being able to ride.

Night Ride and Trip to Hospital
September 18th, 2007
Just got back from the emergency room. Was out for a night ride with some friends and I was leading the pack into a section I have riden hundreds of times and has been unchanged for years. Tonight it was a bit different. There is this very small log drop that was very small and someone built up to about 2-3 feet high. Instead of riding over the edge and rolling out, I flew off what is now a jump. As soon as I went off I knew something was wrong. I flew about 10-20 feet, did an end-o to flat -- right on my back. The battery pack in my back pocket only made that worse. I'm very lucky I didn't break my back. Nothing is broken, but I have a hematoma deep in my back that is causing a lot of pain until the swelling goes down.

mtbmovies v2.0
September 13th, 2007

"Version2" has made mtbmovies.com more user friendly than ever with quick videos, no buffering times, no quicktime BS and it simply works better.
And finally, I'd like to announce the winners of the August video contest: 1st | 2nd | 3rd
