COASTAL CREW EP.3 DUNES AND LOAM – FEATURING CURTIS ROBINSON

Thanks to this rather lovely El Nino year, we have had one of the best winters any of us can remember. The days have been bright and mild. The rain has been falling in just the right amounts that the trails have stayed in near perfect condition.

Due to the fact that our local trails were in prime condition, we felt that it was the perfect time to showcase Curtis’ talent for smashing corners, romping at excessive speeds and making it all look way too easy. It’s hard not to love Curty’s style, it’s like a heat seeking missile, quietly stealthy on its path, picking the straightest line to its target and then boom! Goodbye berm/flat turn/loam rut etc.

This morning was what we had been waiting for. It was the payoff for hanging out in a zone for a week. It was the light at the end of the tunnel. It was sunny and it was foggy, and it was on.

With the previous nights’ sins behind us, day three was on. The only thing is, so was the sun, and contrary to popular non-photog/filmer belief, sunny skies with no clouds are not all that epic for shooting in the forest. While the sun burned hot high in the sky, and the forest was full of ugly contrasty light. We decided that the best course of action for the day was to let the riders get some shuttle laps in to get to know the zone, and for us to set up a cable cam shot. All in the hope that by the afternoon clouds would roll in and diffuse the harsh light.

Our second night camped out at the base of Black Rock was a little easier than the first. Mainly because it wasn’t raining and we knew where we were and what was around us. Still, venturing out beyond the comfort and safety of the fire to take care of business, there was an uneasy feeling that you were being watched, and that whoever was watching you, had strange and disturbing ideas of hospitality… FOR THE FULL ARTICLE CLICK HERE

Sometimes, while on the road, the only way to gauge what a place is like, is to check out the people at the local grocery stores and gas stations. If that is true, then Dallas Oregon, which is the closest town to Black Rock Oregon, with a grocery store and gas station, is one strange place…  FOR THE FULL ARTICLE CLICK HERE
