It would have to be my Farmer’s Tan….Who knew that a brown man, can be so white…Check it out kids, that right there is due to the fact that I’m always wearing a shirt when I ride. I’m beginning to wonder if I didn’t wear clothing when mountain biking, would my skin tone even out? I guess there’s only one way to find out!
This is Eric McKenna of Airborne Bicycles. He’s got the whole badassery thing down. Check him out at his recent trip to Snowshoe.
See that jersey he’s wearing. That’s the limited edition Airborne Ranger jersey by MtnBikeRiders.com. Only a handful of riders from our race Team as well as 3 Airborne Bicycles employees are allowed to wear them. By the way, Eric is rockin’ a rare colored white Taka…sweet.

One of the cool things about Eric and that jersey is this…he’s was an actual Airborne Ranger for the US Army.
Due to the fact that Eric was Ranger, people have said that Eric can diffuse a bomb with just a toothpick and an apple core. Some have even said that Eric can fight off 12 men at one time while eating ice cream with chop sticks. All I know is, Eric McKenna is one cool dude.
One of my favorite mountain biking pictures I have ever taken was just posted on Bikerumor.com’s Pic of the Day. The picture features Tim riding through Chantry Flats. A slow shutter speed + some panning action… voila.
On Saturday I gathered the troops and decided to shuttle Santiago Oaks. Mind you anyone can easily pedal up the top of the ridge to enjoy the mild downhill sections, but we didn’t feel like climbing, so we loaded up the cars to start our adventure.
This ride gave me the opportunity to try out the Drift HD 170 helmet cam.
By the way, Art and I were riding our Airborne Takas. Love that bike!
As you can see the Drift does a pretty good job in capturing the action. I had it set to 780p and what you see is the final product of 1 file conversion and video editing. The first thing I had to do was convert the MOV file to AVI to make it work with my editing software. After it was all said and done, I uploaded it to Youtube.
This shot was taken before our second run. Dan decided to take us on a different route that lead to our Goonies adventure! You can’t tell, but I’m actually smiling!
