Whistler 2010 from Tom Lyons Media on Vimeo.

The whole Eugene/Creswell crew made it up to Whistler for Jay's Bachelore party a couple weekends ago and managed to catch some of the racing action and some runs in with Jack and Rhys. Had my new GoPro Hero HD up there and passed it around for a few days, to document the semi-wet, fantastic weekend shredding. Enjoy!

Addition to the arsenal/ Ashland!

HD camera test from Tom Lyons Media on Vimeo.

Yep, got me a GoPro Hero HD on friday. These cameras are nearly indestructable with the case on (as well as waterproof), not to mention the ridiculously clear and crisp HD footage it captures in a variety of resolutions. Did I mention it takes amazing time lapses? well it does, and I will share one soon.

Not only was there the first UCI world cup DH round today in Maribor, Slovenia, but the Spring Thaw was poppin off in Ashland, Oregon!

I heard great things from Ashland including a few more podiums for the Downhill Coaliton! Way to go everyone, Sounds like everyobody was killing it! Wonder if the new jerseys have anything to do with it...?

check out DirtMagazine for all things World cup recap!

GRT stills, well.. alright, they're decent

Charlie here represented hard for TEAMROBOT, Evil Bikes National Team and AMERICA last weekend. lets just say, I could hear everyone chanting USA!USA!USA! at the finish while I was waaay up the hill.

Got through my cards from the weekend, picked out a bunch and posted em on flickr.

Some turned out rad, some not so much.. one things for sure. I need to use a flash hahaha

Pro GRT update

Pro GRT #1 from Tom Lyons Media on Vimeo.

Easily one of the best races i've ever been to, and I didn't compete! The camera situation worked out perfectly, with Jeff Chillo steppin in and fronting me a second vx2100 for the weekend! so If you see Chillo, give him a pat on the back.

The Downhill Coalition was weak in attendance, but made up for it with Jack and Rhys steadily making their way up the Jr Ex class with 26th and 23rd places. Not too bad with stacked classes in Jr Ex and Pro! There seemed to abe a lot of folks who took their flyng misfortune as an opprotunity to check out some racing in the Pacific Northwest and nobody seemed disappointed.. Come to think of it, i've heard nothing but great reactions as far as the course and the GRT in general. Im makin my way through some photos from the weekend, Should have some up here soon!

Heres some results:

1 Bryn Atkinson

2 Justin Leov

3 Luke Strobel!

1 Tracey Moseley

2 Rachel Atherton

3 Jill Kintner

Check out the full results here

Its official

Biking season is in full swing! with Jared graves winning the Sea Otter DH and teammate Aaron Gwinn in second both there and on the other hill during slalom finals, losing only to Sik Mik. Cant say any of this was really a surprise.. The surprise was the volcano in Iceland that convinced a lot of European world cup riders to make the short trip to Port Angeles, Washington this next weekend for the first Pro GRT!

This is probably the closest the NW will get to a World Cup so im extremely excited! Got some new toys for the cameras for the occaision and all.. so until the mega update next week, enjoy this Gem that made me want to ride my bike when I was 13 and still does after 11 years..

Sea Otter

Is this weekend. Too bad I have to work, things like this are definately more the direction things need to keep going at sea otter Less ladder bridges and sustained sprints, more pumpin and flow! Good luck to all racers headin down there, especially Rhys and Jack representin the Downhill Coalition.

Next weekend, Pro GRT at Port Angeles.. Stay tuned.
