I have just come to the conclusion mountain biking during North Dakota’s winters are pretty boring so what is the use. I will be posting more soon about the group rides that are on deck for this year.

It’s bike related of course.

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.

New things are on the way. First I hope to get all the links working again for all the people who still check it out, all four of you. Thanks Jayme, Andrew, A.J., and Jodi.

The Photos and Videos are being redone so that won’t be much on that page for a while. I am in the works of using a new gallery software to make things faster and easier for me to load photos. The pages, when done, should be simpler to find your way around.

Also in the works are plans to acquire a helmet cam, once winter breaks its hold you can expect to see riding film of the Maah Daah Hey plus other trails around ND. With the new purchase of the Garmin Edge 205 GPS you can expect to see a GPS Course of the Maah Daah Hey overlaid on a map. The kind of map is still up in the air, maybe a Google earth map or something similar.

The design you see here will hopefully have a fairly short lived shelf life also, I am finally going to dig into a close to 800 page book and get to know the full ins and outs of the Dreamweaver MX program I use. I hope by doing this I will learn to provide the best pages I can both for my use and for your viewing. I will update this page or the next version of this page with the things that half changed or things I have added. For the sake of keeping things in order I am branding this version MTBX 5.0 do I really know this is version 5.0 no but it is my best guess and from now on my starting point.

New Things are on the way finally!
