These videos were taken at Eagle Park on August 1, 2009 with the ATC3K camera. Being Australia, this is winter and temperature was a nice 13-15°c. I’m going to experiment with different on-bike and off-bike camera mounting and angles, but until then these bike-mounted angles will have to do.

This video has a pretty good sampling of the terrain at Eagle Park. The trails in the video include “Top Deck”, “Jammin”, “Sunset Blvd”, “Tunnel Vision”, “The Mixer”, “Overlocker” and “Hawkeye”, but not necessarily in that order. Trail difficulty ranges from green/easy to blue/intermediate and black/difficult. The trails are mostly clay and rock singletrack with some sandy sections.

This shorter video is uncut beginning from near the parking lot, down the green/easy “Top Deck” trail, then onto the black/difficult “Jammin” trail, and ends when I broke my chain.

Welcome to Crossgeared.com, the new home for my blog.   My blog has existed under a few domains, on more than a few platforms, and as part of some of my other sites.  Here you will find my complete blog archive back to early 2006 as well as the various bits of information from my other sites.  As of this post, Crossgeeared.com is based on WordPress 2.8.3 and a theme developed by Eric and myself.

While some of the pages loosely resemble content from my other sites, all of the content has been imported into WordPress.  This may seem lazy, and it is, but WordPress is a very good content management system and makes site management far simpler than my old mix of php scripts and static code.  Anyway, enjoy the new site.  Don’t bother looking at the old sites, I’ve deleted the content and they just point here.  For those looking for the old VW-related 251.org, I’m sad to say that after over thirteen years it is no longer available online.  251.org will be back up at some point, but don’t expect much VW content.
