What can I say? 100 MB of space? That's double what I have available at my domain, and three times better than my old ISP. Cool. 

News 12/12/2006: 

My regular domain is moving - the address will still be www.thefathippy.com, but it's moving to a new host and will actually reside at http://www.users.on.net/~fathers. Please visit for reviews of popular Blue Mountains mountain bike rides, guides to home made bike lights and more.

Anyway, I'll upload some mtb videos and pix here. Stay tuned. I need to sort out where my choices of output have gone- I seem to have avi or wmv only. <edit> Read as: I need to get my act together...

Here's a clip of hodgie via hippycam - mounted on my helmet, facing rearwards. Mr Pack gets too involved, but it's not too bad. Music: The Saints - "Run Down". We know the track as Twister, and this particular section is Fenceline. 3 MB 1:31 wmv 320/288

This time I'm following hodgie down the first run at ingar - somehow I disconnected the camera for the second, steeper downhill. The cam's mounted on the frame of my old NRS, and as you can see, gives a remarkably stable picture. Music: Buffalo - "Shylock" 3.5 MB 1:21 wmv 320/288
