What's with all this MTBing?

[Sebastian]

Sweet Sebastian. Steel is real.

Agreed.

Mine is a Trek-built, but it's the only year they made the 1.125 steerer tubes in steel. It rides like a dream.

Took me a year to get it from my buddy, he kept changing his mind about selling everyt time he rode it.

Mountain biking for the win!



Nothing wrong with taking pictures or video and riding.

the ConsumerReview.com network. It all started with mtbr.com back in the mid '90s by francis. . mtbr.com is now MtbReview.com.

Anyway, that's how I got involved with this group of boards (PR.com). I still ride and race my mountain bike. But a few years ago, I was reintroduced to the joy of photography. Thus, my interest here.

It should be also noted that there are many excellent photographers on mtbr.com, and posting a photo-essay of a recent ride is very common on the "Passion" board. A number of mtbr folks have migrated here from mtbr.com to help support francis' efforts.

Anyway, that's a little history as I know it. Someone correct me if I'm incorrect. At least, it should help explain the soft focus on mountain bikes here....
Cheers,
Tim

You didn't hear? So I assume you haven't submitted your mtb photo portfolio for approval. We're going to have to suspend your account until we get those photos and approve them ;)

All this started with mtbr.com and the company founder, Francis Cebedo. I'm a mountain bike photographer and post on mtbr all the time. I'm constantly harassing the members there to post here, too. As a consequence, we've got a fair number of mountain bikers here. Prepare to be converted!

This photo was taken last Thursday, just as after the sun went down.

Hope he didn't land ON your flash, John !!

I knew there must be a connection.

And I thought that Canon must of had a promo some time back where they sent MTB's instead of rebates. I was worried I missed that one! Although Steve's comment about Californians makes sense too.
