James, Nicky, Jack & Co., and Jeff riding up to Crook Hil, down ‘Gores DH’, and then back down the east side of Ladybower, with some epic camera angles. Oh yeah and James nailing Hurst Clough the fastest I’ve ever seen him to do it.

Irwin rides Bamford Clough and Hurst Clough rather fast, with Nicky taking the stills on Bamford Clough and Jeff in strange positions trying to get the best angle for video. Bamford Clough is a steep, straight, track (which is technically still a road!) with concrete on its steepest section and loose and semi-embed rocks over the rest and an awkward concrete drainage gully at the bottom. Hurst Clough is also a ‘road’, with some tarmac and loose stones as well as some bedrock in a few places, but it slopes more gently with some smooth bermed corners. Oh yeah and Jeff spent ages doing a 3D map for this one.

Nine minutes of the best footage from the 4th Round of Midland Super Series 06 at Caersws, the warm weather made for a very dry and dusty track which was very steep in places, I was glad to be behind the camera. (Sorry its a bit long.)
James, Nicky, Jolley and Jeff on a long ride, starting at Aston DH and heading along Hope Brink to HopeX DH, then up Hagg Tor with some sessioning and then along to Jolley’s and finally back down to Bamford. Jolley really gets himself good, ouch!

Irwin and Jeff’s trip to Hopton, whilst staying nearby, the course was very wet after a lot of rain. We met two other guys also on holiday, Tom and Ben, and had a great day. Unfortunately some of the best footage was lost when the camcorder corrupted the DVD and we had only had room to backup part of it.

This video is our guide to making a zip-line camera system, it was our second attempt using the MK1 zip-line camera system. The main problem with the system is timing, and it is only best suited to low speeds.

Irwin, Nicky, Joe, Josh and Jeff meet up in Bamford and have a mess about before heading up the Clough to Nicky’s for a session on his MK1
dirt jumps and the beginnings of his Northshore.

After the ritual fixing of Boslow’s bike we sessioned some stuff up by Derwent and then rode Gores DH. You can see how bucked Boslow’s back wheel was.

This vid starts with Irwin & Pete messing around in Bamford, we then headed up to Nicky’s and were joined by Josh and Jolley before heading up to Stanage for a mess about. After Jeff’s big crash up at Nicky’s the weekend before he was on foot and ended up running a fair distance that day.
