World Cup Season Begins

WA — Sat, 23 Apr 2011 04:37:14 +0000

A sport the British are actually decent at? It’s only a matter of time.

The racing season begins with the usual suspects and a few new faces. We were all surprised not to see Mark Horacek making an appearance after good pre-season form utilizing his shuttle taxi.

There’s a Chocolatefoot league on Dirt’s Dirt Fantasy League – a URL that sounds much more exciting than it is – http://dirtfantasyleague.com if you’ve not joined already.

Password is “Kraken” for entry.

It’s good to see the footage getting another step up in the quality stakes this season, judging by the various websites covering the events alongside Freecaster. Rob “Murray Walker with Swearing” Warner is still in the booth, with Alex Rankin cutting together a few clips.

Good combo I reckon.

Any predictions? I think there will be some racing and some crashes.

Here’s a stunning teaser for Find, a biking film by Resetfilms which brings British weather and understated style to the lifestyle format of Roam or The Collective without the jump stunt flips or snakes going into snakeholes. Thank fuck.

I emailed them to see if they’ll do a digital download version. Who buys DVDs these days?

This is the followup to Home, the other video I’ve also not seen:

Local’s Know

We’re all local somewhere.

Check these vids. First, a dirtmag video shot on an D90 (an HD DSLR, or bloody good digital camera for the layman). This is the way forward for MTB vids on a budget, it looks so pro:

The Coastal Crew out here in BC are a local group of riders from the Sunshine Coast, BC, who also happen to be ridiculously talented riders. One or two also have an eye for making movies, mostly with the same level of DSLR kit.
