It always annoyed me that there wasn't much footage of sport sections out there and you had no idea what they would be like when you were making the decision between sport or beginner. This is some footage of me at Mount Snow, it is all 5 sections. Nothing special just to give you an idea.

I warn you that the quality is bad. Turns out the camera was set wrong so the image is over exposed (and blueish) and the frame rate is slow so things look jumpy.
You will at least get the idea.
File size is 43 megs.
Can someone host this? I hate endodigggeeediiiggggeeee

Tom,
Theres no need to say sorry for the quality of the footage. I can appreciate the fact that you took the time to put up some video at all. It's good to keep the sport thing alive, seems like today everyone is all about only the "BIG BOYS", us sport riders need some peers also. Keep up the great work, oh yeah, will you be at the Raccoon Rally this weekend? I'll be there, I might not compete, but I'll be there.

I can't, there is a wedding I have to go to. It sucks, but I'll just have to look forward to it next year.

il have a couple shots of ryder and some other people who rode pro stock, but not many because my battery died, as my father doesnt quite know how to turn a camera off.
Keep Rollin-are you going to be at the Lincoln woods or Hamonassete(sp?) comps this july/october? and what do you ride? i havent seen the vid yet so maybe ill know in a second.

First off, I have footage of my buddy also in sport, but he didn't do as well as he would have liked and so I'm not gonna put it up here unless he asks. As for others, my parents did the filming and after (during expert/pro) I rode around so I didn't have the camera on me. I'm kicking myself now but it's too late.
Now, these lincoln woods and such, I know nothing of em. Anything that isn't too far I'd sure like to check out.
Where could I find some info?

Good stuff. From a fellow sport stock rider, thanks for showing the courses. And for sharing your skills.
I've been off the bike for 6 weeks now. Been watching the Vincent vids and all, but this is the first vid in awhile that really made me want to go ride. Probably because I can DO that stuff, instead of just dreaming of big moves.

Would you please post whatever comp info you got from Pete. I used to live in Providence and would ride, climb or swim with my dog in Lincoln Woods a few times a week. It would be great to know when that comp would be so I can make the trip up there. It's a great place to be.

here is all the info i got, i think i may have deleted what else there was accidentally..but here is the gist of it.
Hey out there in New England trials land. It has been a while since
I've sent something out and many of you are wondering what type of
schedule there will be this summer.
As of right now we've got three events planned, the dates for one is
solid but the other two are still flexible. Currently this is what
we're thinking:
#1 Mid-late July - Lincoln Woods State Park, RI
#2 August 29 - Clifford Park, Biddeford, ME
#3 Early October - Hammonasset Beach State Park, Madison, CT
As promised these venues are great examples of New England trials
terrain. Say goodbye to the wimpy terrain we've had in the past.
These events will challenge everyone's skills with New England granite.
A question to all of you out there interested in attending the third
event in CT, would Columbus Day weekend be bad for many folks? Send me
an email and let me know if you would or would not go to an event on
Columbus Day weekend (Oct 10).

#1 Mid-late July - Lincoln Woods State Park, RIHey is there any word on when in July that is going to be?
I'm trying to plan my weekends and I'm curious about the date.
Thanks
The insurance agency that Pete is going through had a 1 month lead time so last I heard the comp date would be the first weekend in August at the earliest.
