bturman added a new video 29ers Can Do That? DH with Cedric Gracia and Simon André 2/8/2012 9:55 AM
C138x104

This is a teaser for an upcoming film called "29ROCKS!" We believe it was made in an effort to dispel the notion that 29ers aren't capable of aggressive riding. Did it convey the message well?

The full movie will be released on February 29. Music: KBOSH - Dubstep Symphonie.

bturman added a new video Saykogel - A High Alpine Austrian Ride 2/7/2012 2:43 PM
C138x104

Colin Stewart continues to impress us with his incredible videos. He does a great job of capturing terrain that many of us would never think of riding. In this video, he and two riders make easy work of the 11,000 foot Saykogel peak in the Ötztaler Alps. Would you ride those lines?

"This video I took in September 2011 with Johannes Pistrol and Fabian Gleitsmann. It shows an incredible high mountain “bikebergsteigen” loop that we did at the end of the Ötztal valley, above Vent in Austria. I'd like to thank EVOC, Norrona, Schwalbe and Platzangst for supporting our adventure in the mountains that day. Filmed using a Panasonic GH2 and a Nikon D700 to take the stills."

bturman added a new video Orange Bikes - It Is What It Is 2/7/2012 12:44 PM
C138x104

The Cut Media crew is excited to release this feature-length look at the inside of the Orange Bikes factory. The host, Guy Martin, is quite the character. Hopefully after 20 minutes you'll be able to understand what he's saying.

The usual factory video? This is no ordinary tour…

"A dimly lit workshop in the centre of Halifax is an unlikely backdrop for an art studio, twisting and manipulating aluminium, forming complex shapes to create a pure simplicity – the bike frame.

Proper engineering is a dark art in a world of sterile outsourced manufacturing. A black box of production, it was about time someone gave an updated snapshot into the people and processes that bring an Orange bike to life.

Guy Martin is a British motorcycle racer and truck mechanic. Primarily a man of the road, he's one of the World's most talented riders and a constant favourite at the Isle of Man Tourist Trophy. Worldwide recognition through TT3D showed him at his witty and charismatic best, with his TV debut on BBC One's The Boat that Guy Built taking him to the mainstream. A man obsessed with industrial processes and the intricacies of manufacturing, Cut Media thought he'd be the ideal candidate for an Orange Bikes factory documentary..."

Guillaume Blanchet's father practically lives on his bike. He has ridden over 120,000km. This is Guillaume's fun spirited tribute to his father. You'll enjoy it. Promise.
