650hucker 0 Posted December 13, 2009 Hey guys, I will be posting videos of rides and what not in here. I have a helmet cam that goes with me on most rides, and I will also be posting some of my new MTB videos whenever I make them. Think of it as an, "Adventures of a 650hucker" page. Here's a not so flashy video of me testing the camera and suspension on my DR650 on a Private track, which is apparently highly illegal, but luckily, I met the land owners, and it happened to be one of my MTB friends. I am now on the track list, so no more problems there! All the videos will come by way of Pinkbike.com, as that's where I spend most of my time. http://www.pinkbike.com/video/113487/ When possible, I will be using the helmet cam on rides with you guys, and I'll edit a video within a week and put it up. Nothing super flashy, just a quick and sloppy edit usually haha. Here's my most recent MTB vid of my trip to utah, these will be updated alot. Keep checking back for more videos! http://www.pinkbike.com/video/76836/ Wil Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

dirt dame 554 Posted December 25, 2009 By the way Huckster, I would be careful how I post stuff if I were you. Read the rules about pictures and referrals to "off limits" areas in posts. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
650hucker 0 Posted December 25, 2009 Oh, thanks for the heads up. I guess I should have added that I am on the track list, and I can direct you on where to go to get onto the list. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
dirt dame 554 Posted December 25, 2009 Oh, thanks for the heads up. I guess I should have added that I am on the track list, and I can direct you on where to go to get onto the list. It's the terminology that was used A term such as "private track" would be much more suitable. I am a bit confused about your statement above. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
650hucker 0 Posted December 25, 2009 Yeah, I thought it was really illegal, later found out it was just a private track. Several days ago, I rode over to the front entrance to get on the track list, and it turns out, one of my friends owns the land! I've edited the post. Thanks though, I never even thought about that... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Bagstr 287 Posted February 3, 2010 Wil, Just watched the MTB stuff, but you will have zero problem adjusting to the motorized cycles. Wonderful how you can throw away the MTBs. What do they weigh? Do you plan on "Throwing Away" a 450 when reality faces design? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
650hucker 0 Posted February 3, 2010 I'd be a little more hesitant to let go of a motorcycle... My downhill bike weighs about 38 lbs, which is lightest of the light for DH bikes, and my hardtail weighs about 28 lbs. Here's a new video, pretty cool helmet cam footage of backflips and spins! http://www.pinkbike.com/video/120983/ Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
650hucker 0 Posted April 2, 2010 Hopefully no one minds, and hopefully it's not against the site rules...??? But I'm turning this into a what I did yesterday/today thread... Here's today: Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

650hucker 0 Posted April 2, 2010 I sure hope you stuck that landing...Remember kids: the most important part of jumping is landing What you don't know is, I landed back on the pedals I managed to finish the rotation and land on my feet/back and just got some slight roadrash. Here's an interesting helmet cam I took of the same jump... http://www.pinkbike.com/video/120983/ Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

hobiee 28 Posted April 2, 2010 Cool vid Wil.. And to think we thought this was "Extreme" when I was your age.. and rex that was extreme back then. our bikes weighed 50 lbs with no suspension except our knees.
