With the competitive season finally coming to a close it is time to turn to alternative activities to feed the need to be alive. As much as I will be trying to stay away from bicycles in the next few weeks to ensure I am fresh and excited about riding when the time comes, there is one form of riding I am sure I will engage in in the coming weeks. My good friend Alex has been in the business of putting suspension and disc brakes to shame on city trails for the past few winters and summers alike. Although I am sure it is not an entirely unique concept, our own brand of off season cross has been adapted to our unique environment not to mention climate here in Calgary. Trails come back to life from the drops on rigid bikes with 700c wheels. In the spirit of the ever squealing canti and as the first of many video installments to come I present "Free Cross". Alex and I originally created this little clip last fall with the idea of creating a full length cross documentary eventually. Here is the original trailer and despite the advertised release of the full feature we never got further than what you are about to witness.

Joking of course. Tight vid, what is the song?
We actually did all of the riding in Edworthy, Bowmont and Tuscany.
The track is by Stellastarr*, song is "Moongirl".
You need to turn on the image stabilizer! I tease, great video. Sideshow Bob looks to be in good shape. I had feared the worst after all the flooding and horror stories I had heard. Know anybody dumping a 58cm, Campy equipped crosser? I need a cross bike!
Sweet man! Good choice of soundtrack. Those are definitely the best highlights of NW Calgary trails!! Nice job.
