Main Street

If you love Canada, dope street riding on 26" wheels, and poutine (who doesnt?!)...then this is a flick you need to watch. Vincent Allard edited this mini movie for the guys at Doberman bikes and its the sweetest street riding ive seen in a while by mountain bikers. Props to the guys up in Canada, something tells me I need to go up there next year to film!

Do you read these?

Cause if you do, you will be one of the first to know that I have registered the domain name for Lucent's first full feature release, entitled 'Free Delivery'.
There's absolutely nothing there now (just a place-holder for the site), but I should have some decent content up there by Friday.

Free Delivery

CHAMPS!!

As you can tell from the pictures below, the Red Sox are World Champs again!!

Shuffle Mix.

Just recently picked up a Red Shuffle from Apple, and I figured I give ya'll a list of some of the songs on there that you should prob have in your iTunes. To make you think I'm with it when it comes to the whole music scene, I'll only list the bands not played on TRL. Big thanks to Aaron Lutze for introducing me to foundtracks.com and further contributing to work procrastination.

The Go! Team - "Grip Like a Vice"
Blonde Redhead - "23"
Interpol - "Pace Is the Trick"
Yeasayer - "2080"
Yeah Yeah Yeahs - "Sealings"

I should probably go buy some skinny jeans, slip on Vans, and a white v-neck undershirt to complete my hipster transformation.

More Smutok

I went up to Highland again to do some DH filming with Dave Smutok for his segment. Here are a few screen captures of some footage.

Bromont

Last saturday I went up to Bromont to film Lee and Dave Trumpore for the DVD. The one day i forget my rain cover for my camera it decides to pour, which meant I used my jersey as a rain cover and filmed topless....and chubby.

Check out some of the footage, courtesy of youtube's crap compression.

VOD on Pinbike

Pinkbike has added a VOD (Video of the Day) feature to go along with their Picture of the Day, and wouldn't ya know, the Boston Wherever You Ride vid is the VOD!!! It's amazing what internet distribution can do, over 6500 views and counting in ONE day!

Check it out AGAIN here

Oh Canada! (again)

Tonight I head up to good ol' Burlington, VT to do some filming at Bromont Mountain with Dave and Lee Trumpore, both seen in the MSA video I did for Iron Horse. Weather looks good and I'm actually going to get some DH riding in this season!

Grab your glock if you see Smutok.

Head on over to the FSA Gravity site and check out the spot on Smutok that I shot @ Highland Mountain Bike Park. They messed up the 16:9 Widescreen and squished it into 4:3, but you get he idea. Pretty pumped on how the segment turned out, the crane is def clutch!

Lull....

Nothing new to report on the Lucent front. This upcoming weekend I will be heading up north to shoot with Dave and Lee Trumpore @ Bromont for the DVD.

(this ones for you, Lutze)
I went to The Big E in central Mass yesterday, they had the best dessert ever, the Big E Cream Puff.
SCARF!

Vegas, Baby....VEGAS!

No, I will not be in Vegas for Interbike....AGAIN.

But if you happen to make it to the expo, check out the IH and FSA/Gravity booths to watch a few short clips filmed/edited by Lucent

and lastly, the recently finished Gravity profile on Dave Smutok @ Highland Mountain Bike Park.

...about time.

Either the mailman is really slow, or Fox put me on the back burner. I FINALLY got my Fox 40 RC2 in the mail yesterday, after being told to expect it the first week in June. I guess I can't really complain for getting a free fork from the Fox video comp.

Highland

This past week I went up to Highland Mountain Bike Park in NH to film Dave Smutok for his FSA/Gravity spot. Shot a bunch of crane footage in the jump park which I think came out pretty sweet. Also shot some 'behind the scenes' b-roll for the segment since Don Hampton was in attendance with George Ryan and Adam Hauck shooting for the next Chain Reaction.
All in all it was a complete waste of a day as far as shooting. 3/4 of the day was wasted trying to get a cable line setup for Dave's new line in the woods which was a bust.

Snapped a few pics in the many hours of down time.

Hauck, George, Doug, and Damien Breach all enjoying a quick YouTube video.



Highland has their own in-house setup for cutting planks. Totally bad ass.



Step down/step up portion of Dave's new line in the woods. He has some sick plans for this area next year which will be amazing.




If you're at Interbike this year, check out Dave's spot at the FSA booth, along with my segment on Chris Van Dine @ Sea Otter.

Scout's Honor

I am working on a new site design, I PROMISE! In the meantime, I was bored this afternoon and made up a new 'Under Construction' page.

Iron Horse 2008

Iron has launched their 2008 site (kind of), which includes a video from Mount Ste Anne filmed and edited by yours truly!

Check it out HERE for an idea of what type of footage to expect from the full segment later in the fall!
