Making the most out of shitty singletrack videos

Why do singletrack videos always come filled with shitty techno? Man it kills me.

If I were to make helmet-cam videos of trail riding you better believe there wouldn’t be any techno, and the music might be more along the lines of Iron Maiden, Red Fang, Comets on Fire, or perhaps some super stoner metal like The Sword. Not that I’m pigeonholing myself here. Just giving some insight into what really makes mountain biking great. Anyone who knows me knows that I am a fan of the trail beer, the green sticky, and the long days in the saddle. Just sayin.

Here we see good use of a helmet cam, but the music choice is absolutely terrible (sorry if this is your video). Might I suggest watching this with the sound muted, while this plays in another tab?

Because when you can’t ride, youtube is all you got. As for me, this weekend may not see any riding, but I will be floating down the John Day River. Fishing. Drinking. Next weekend however will see some dirty, dirty miles.

Nothing wrong with Thursdays

I work so that I can ride, eat, drink, and sleep. I ride so I can drink more. I eat so that I can keep riding. I drink because it makes me a better person. I sleep so that I can do it all again tomorrow.
