O’Neal are no stranger to the mountain bike scene having been worn by many a rider over the years from the local woods to the World Cup scene. Having dropped from my radar a few years ago they were brought sharply back into focus last summer when I spent some time in Europe with their UK distributor, Col Williams, the face of Fli-Distribution. And having borrowed some of the 2009 kit out there I was left suitably impressed and so made a resolution to track down some of their new stuff for 2010 when it was available. Roll on to winter and being delivered is a box filled with their latest and brightest kit.

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.

It’s not everyday on the East coast of Canada that you can say your from a town in which a local pro was raised. However Ontario has been producing many sick riders lately like Logan Peat, Frankie Vass, Andrew Bigelow etc. However in the streets of my little suburban town, Matthew Macduff was raised. This man has a great attitude and lots of energy. He first started off by inspiring everyone in my town, including myself, and is now very well known in our province. Thankfully because of our new local bike park, Joyride 150, I was able to see him again for possibly what may be the last time before he’s busy riding awesome spots in different towns and inspiring other kids. If you have seen his name or videos before and you’re like, who is this dude? Then read on…

The people behind the series may have changed from time to time but each and every year the hill never seems to fail to provide great racing from both the rapid locals and the big names who never fail to make an appearance, year in, year out.
