Dialing it in at Big Bear

 

Blizzard- Pretty gnarly looking drop in!

 

Thanks! It was very intimidating from the top, but not bad once I actually rode it.

 

Breaking in mine here in Sedona.

 

Jeff's new Kitsbow video. Awesome!

And how cool it is to have ridden in those exact places as Jeff did (but with only 10% of the grace and elan)!

 

Cool pic of Kendall-Weed

Jeff Kendall-Weed attacks the gnarly garden in his usual smooth and fast style. He impressed spectators during practice with his "unconventional lines" through the rock garden- utilizing the side of the course as a wall ride. Kendall-Weed finished 3rd.

Yep, looks freezing... lucky you survived...

 

First ride. Will ride again.


(Turns out you people were telling the truth. HD3 rules!)

 

Andrew Whiteford, you always post great videos. Truly inspiring! Keep up the great work!

Come down to New Zealand. I'll buy you a beer!

 

Dub82- Great riding, and great footage!

May I ask what camera is that, and is it chest mounted?

 

Thanks! GoPro Hero4 Black, originally shooting at 2.7k x 60 fps, but scaled down to 1080x30 in editing then I let Vimeo take it down to 720p.

I did have it chest mounted, but it's attached to an electronic gimbal. There are a couple companies making them- this one has a GoPro mount (Zhiyun-Tech). They're generally in the $250-300USD range on ebay or amazon...and as you can see, it works...but it does take away from the "push the button then ride" ease of the GoPro. Putting $800 in breakable technology on your chest pretty much guarantees that you'll crash spectacularly very shortly
/end tech. Heading riding now!

 

I've been waiting for some more video from you, Andrew! You do a great job on both the content and editing.

:thumbsup:

 

A couple of shots from a local trail here in Norway. The HD3 is amazing.

Nice air!

 

Some of my HD3 summer fun.

 

Nice! If I didn't know better I'd say Schultz Creek in Flagstaff and of course tasty bits in Sedona like the E. Breezy drop-in from templeton, HiLine, and Slim Shady. The bit at the end is Telluride?

 

Almost too much fun. Almost.

Well that is a convincing argument for a gimbal!

Great vid! Totally relatable and so fun looking!

 

 

Cool pic by Matt Wragg of the Gehrig twins at EWS round 7, Ainsa.

 

Beautiful day in Truckee. Cool n the shade and warm in the sun. Perfect biking weather.

 

Nice^^^

Not the kind of great HD3 action pics we've come to expect from you...

Get better soon!

 

Broken clavicle?

 

i kinda wish it was. broke collarbone on other side years ago, was pretty straightforward. had a weird crash this time, all impact on point of shoulder. left clavicle is intact but not really connected to rest of shoulder any more, feels a little ordinary! Grade 5 AC joint disruption according to doc, seeing surgeon later today.

 

I feel some of your pain. I broke 3 ribs about a week ago, just as I was getting fit for the Aussie summer.
Hope it doesn't take too long to heal. I haven't managed to get to Thredbo for three years due to breaking bones in summer. This time at least I should have time to heal.

 

bummer, hope you make it to Thredbo this Summer!

 

The HD3 continues to amaze me with it's versatility.

I've ridden it on lift access Double Black Diamonds at Winter Park, I've raced an Enduro race at Steamboat... and I've ridden very, very mild XC rides (think trails where people are riding XC hardtails, fat bikes and everything in between).

It literally does everything that I want it to do. "One Bike"

:thumbsup:

 

Just returned from 4 full days of riding in Moab, UT. The HD3 performed flawlessly on many miles of super tech rock climbs/drops with lots of square edges, sustained climbs, fantastic drops (some techy slow, some top gear launches), incredible downhill singletrack and everything in between. Over 100+ miles of Moab's best and nothing but smiles. Snow covered the top of Burro Pass and Hazzard of the Whole Enchilada, but the rest was in great condition (pic is Porcupine Rim above the Colorado River). I used every bit of 2x11 XT drivetrain and really appreciate not having to switch between 'pro-pedal' and open that were necessary on my previous FSR bikes. Almost everyone stopped to ask about this bike. I love it.

 

Seems like wearing Yoda socks doesn't make you a jedi MTB rider after all!

Pic taken just before crash other day. Having surgery on shoulder this Friday. Plan is to remove a hamstring from leg and use it to tie everything together in shoulder. Pretty cool idea. Fingers crossed for a good outcome,

 

Even Jedi fall. You'll be back to riding and taking great pics in no time. May the force be with you!

 

Thanks! surgery went well, into shoulder exercises, rehab and drugs
