I have to give my friend Jayme credit. It takes a big person to put videos and pictures on the internet of yourself. Especially when these videos or pictures may not portray you in the most flattering manner sometimes. But I guess to really be able to laugh you must first learn to laugh at yourself.

Where is this all leading up to? The release of the first videos on the website! These are videos of Jayme and I when I joined him for the last three days his Lewis and Clark Tour. I rode with him from Pierre, SD to Bismarck. Now all of these videos are actually started by Jayme and he usually says with no warning “your thoughts” or “a few words for the camera” which totally catches me off guard and I pretty much have nothing to say and look like and idiot. As my friends and family can attest this is not the norm. I am usually fairly quick on my feet but when the camera gets shoved in my face my mind all of a sudden goes blank. I am hopeful that when I am the one instigating the film I will plan out some of my thoughts ahead of time.

But for better or worse the age of video clips on Mountainbikingx.com has arrived. With camera in hand it is now my turn to torture my riding partners, including Jayme. The helmet camera has been purchased and all the do-dads to go with it. Expect to see the Maah Daah Hey like you have never seen it before., probably with my head being used to take soil samples. I sure hope the helmet camera is tough.

Let the embarrassment begin.
