Moab Mountain Biking - A Trail Analysis For Intermediates
This video is for experiencing Moab around 2010 and the trails before the big trail building effort started soon after. There weren't many single track trails back then and we biked motorized trails such as Sovereign and Poison Spider. Porcupine Rim was just that, no upper trails were marked and mapped. No one talked about The Whole Enchilada.
Today we shoot with gimbals for a smoother view, but back then 1080p was just starting to be popular so this video stood out from all the 720 content. We used cameras attached to our helmets and bikes. Now we mount the gimbal and camera on our chests and the view experience is much more engaging.
I shot all of this video on cross country bikes with 110mm of travel or less. Now MTB videographers shoot from trail or all mountain bikes with 140mm to 180mm. We can ride wilder trails like Capitan Ahab.
This video was once at the top of the search results and had over 10,000 views and a bunch of likes until I moved it from my personal channel to this one. I was once almost as well known from Santa Cruz to Fruita as Nate Hills and Bruce Kennedy (BKXC). It is their turn now :-)
Enjoy the nostalgia!
