SixSixOne 2011 Coresaver

Although 2010 was a fantastic year for me on and off the trails, it was also a year of "crashes". Luckily for me nothing really serious, but I know that my luck might not last, and just like everyone else, I'm getting older. In 2010 I managed to break my wrist, break my big toe, break two ribs, crack 2 ribs and crack my sternum.. and of course lot's of bacon. I have big plans for 2011, and have decided to focus a bit more on trail safety, and my first step was to purchase the SixSixOne 2011 … [Read more...]

1800's The 25th Infantry U.S. Army Bicycle Corps stationed at Fort Missoula, Montana set out across the country on their bicycles in 1896-7. Lt. James A.

Edit GoPro HD videos Free Fast and Easy

August 5, 2010 By 4 Comments

Unlike the standard GoPro that recorded in .wma, the GoPro HD are encoded in mpeg4 h.264 format. Now although this format has been around for quite some time, a lot of video editors will not import the MP4 format. Like many others I was unpleasantly surprised by this, and I did not have a clue where to start, so in all cases like this, I got my help from Google. What I did know, is what I did NOT want. To spend a lot of money on a professional video editor A massive resource hog running … [Read more...]
