On our last CO vacation Noah and I tried to get up to Bison Peak. Unfortunately Mother Nature was not cooperating. After seeing the GPS track I am grad we turned back when we did. We were a good ways from the peak and we were about to hit the steepest elevation gains of the hike. This is going to be a hike that we attempt again for sure. The peak is just incredible with the rock formations. They say there is nothing like it in the entire...

Sunday I took the Flip out with me on the trail trying to mount it to the front fork and handle bars. In both cases it came loose far too often. I was hoping to get some sample video from that ride but after looking at the footage it was too jumping. I trashed it all and started thinking of how I could MacGyver the Flip to the front fork better. After some thought, Monday night I rigged up a ghetto mount out of some metal braces and...

Terra and I picked up a new bike for Noah today so we rode Roller Coaster and Hillside tonight. It is pretty brown out still here in Iowa as you can see. Looking forward to the trails getting greener. Pretty happy with the iPhone video but I think I will start...

If you wait until the end my son and I were close enough to one of the lightening strikes that we felt it. My son said he could feel the electricity come out his hands. It gave my Flip a good jolt of electricity as you can see in the video. Needless to say...

We headed up Pike’s Peak while on vacation. We pretty much made a day of it stopping along the way so the kids could play on mother natures jungle gyms (aka rocks/boulders) . Of course I went with them with my trusty Flip UltraHD. In this video the kids and I get out and play for about 45 minutes at a large rock area. Check out the rainbow in this video! There was lightening and storms not far away. I managed to capture some...
