Thread: Toad's Wild Ride POV - August 2009

South Lake Tahoe - Toad's Wild Ride from the Rim Trail (if I have my names right). August 2009.

Long video. Mostly just solo, but I come across and follow a rider for a bit. If nothing else, check out my wreck at 02:35 Disappointed at how the camera takes the steepness of a couple of sections away - also takes away speed and tech... oh well.




What a fun trail - rocky bits, little things to jump over/off, techy sections, and high speed flow.

listed as "private" vid to me, please I need another fix of your singletrack POV goodness

private here too

Whoops. Fixed it I think.

das fixed, ya

edit: das, nah fixed. It is not private, but looks like the compression has jumbled it up. Vid is not showing and audio is farked.

boo! i'll see what's up when i get home from work.

There, I think it is fixed. No idea what was wrong... just re-uploaded to vimeo. Weird...

Just added timestamp at 2:35 where I wrecked. Ouch.

Good stuff. All my rides on that trail have been on 80mm HTs with V brakes...and they still rule!
I gotta find the 1999 helmet cam footage....somewhere in Pete F land.

you know joe - I just talked about you when i was riding with tyrone shoelaces today. That was in the context of how fast locals were in their own terrain and how i was owned by the Cali crowd in Tahoe.

Strange to think I was "Cali crowd" once. I still remember watching NSX 2 in that crappy pizza place in Tahoe like it was last year though. My mind was completely blown.

Plus: I remember you owning the vast majority of that crew. Our rally down Drunken Bear will live in infamy.

damn thats a nasty bail.

For a blast from the past...scroll down to the Mr Toad's vid. Some classic shit. The auger into the moondust still makes me twitch a little.

Xmas Valley...I cried...god I miss the old trail.

Great vid. I crashed my guts out about 10' from where you did a couple weeks ago.
