Downhill Mountain Biking in Crested Butte, Colorado

Shot via a handle bar-mounted Contour HD camera (www.contour.com) at Crested Butte Mountain Resort, June 2011. I was riding a Specialized SX Trail Downhill bike with seven inches of front and rear movement (

Pretty nice bike for downhilling but felt very “mushy” when riding trails that were flat or had uphills. Next time I’ll bring my Specialized Rock Hopper 29er, which is much lighter and more versatile for the types of riding you can do in the mountains versus just downhill.

As you’ll see, I crashed on two occasions in places where I shouldn’t have. It was still a great time.
