Mountain Bikes and There Riders - Action Shots

[Geforce Junky]

So we have a thread about peoples Mountain Bikes. Now Lets see some action shots ;D

I'll start off with a cool unphotoshopped arty shot including some retro goodness:



A couple from Summer in Alps: Took the Imp to the French/Swiss Alps for 6 weeks last summer. It clocked up 1996 miles and the only thing that broke was reverse gear (gear linkage came loose). Other than that it went like and absolute dream and I love'd driving it out there. Admitadly it was quite slow with 2 people, 2 bikes, bike stand, millions of spare etc, especially up the big hills! Bonus points to anybody that can name the 2 resorts.















A local place near me (North Nibley):



And finally a couple of shots I have taken of other people:



And some 'adjusted' ones:







I need to invest in a DSLR Rather than the point and shot that I use at the moment which is fine is good light but rubbish if its even a slightly bit dark. P.S try to ignore fact this is slightly off topic

What happened next?

Looks like ya missed the ramp or meant to miss it but either way looks like a mech grind to messy end to me whats going on?

Mistimed low and fast over a hip at glentress

Reanimation - Landed on the bit of dirt in the bottom left of the picture ... just What you can't see is there is a sharp right hand corner just after the landing, which I may have failed to make the first time But survived the following 10 times ;D And yes it was intensional, but I can see a few people may have done it by accident lol, as you can't see the ramp over the edge as you approach it!

Also 2 more pics, to help keep the thread on topic, Me and then my mate riding my A2 DT project, a trampoline bike!

These are literally all the descent shot's of me, I used to waer black gear for quite a while which makes for a curse word piccie. All taken over here in the Isle of Man as I've not ridden much in the UK yet.

Got a few Vids too if anyone fancies checking them out: Clicky

[reanimation]

I'm sure you are on topic just for making a Trampoline bike! Saw that in MBUK, cover your frame in wrapping and practice tricks!!!

Impressive stuff in those pics, tho only one i got is me on a BMX track on my Orange XC bike in 1992 ;D need to get out more this year.

[grizz]

Absolutely sensational.

note, first time I have used that word.

Great stuff, and thanks for sharing.

You're all mental! And scaring me. I've tentatively agreed to go biking with some blokes from work and now I'm wondering what I've agreed to! My bike's come of a bush and been refurbed with skip parts. I may die!

[goldenwonder]

Nice shots, I want to go to the Alps again
There's a few from Les Gets & I'm sure I can recognise the other, but xcan't put a name to it!

[Tim]

Bit of a tame one of me - you'll have to excuse the lycra - 24 hr race, solo, 98 miles in and feeling a bit wrecked:



and an arty one:



Oh and the first pic on this thread is ace

[goldenwonder]

A pic of me to prove I do ride sometimes (albeit in lycra)

[jim]

[Tim]

Damn all these skills. Will have to get a trialsy bike built up again :-)

[skamanfrank]

LOL just found an "action" shot of me........



This was on the HONC a couple of years ago (first under 18 to finish I might add! ) with my pretty much boggo standard Hardrock. It did get mx comps, avid discs, hollowtech 2 cranks and lots of other spangly bits before it got nicked Looking for another bike as we speak though

[squeezemetim]

just a couple of me





and a couple ive taken

[polojoe]

Only the one of me at the mo.....taken with a crappy phone camera as well.

[misterp]

I wish I had the balls for all that big air stuff. I am very much a jeyboy. The only pics I have of me on a bike are from our company websites and they are jey as can be.

Mine are pretty boring



Far too hot that day, glad it was not my G2 bike I was on LOL.

[briandamaged]

No pics of me on mine (yes, even us fat oldies have MTB's...mine's a 2000 GT Arrowhead hardtail), but I love this:

105mph faceplant
;D

Here's mine....well not mine, but the same model/paint:

[metromartin]

Nice action shots,
I know where first pic is in Glos, nr Stroud, quite a nice drive too:D I went to the french and austrain alsp this year, but I travelled on a snowboard. We were woundering if the bikes go inside or outside on the cablecars when going up the mountain!!
I do get on the bike sometimes, nothing too speacial buts its a GT avalanche3.0 so does the job for me, wasted to much money at the pub and on cars LOL.
I to the cotswolds nr Painswick as its local or the forest cycle centre.
