Fall in the Kootenays

Todd Hellinga recently relocated from Whistler to Nelson to grow a shaggy beard and wear knitted sweaters.

nice to see a video from around nelson but really it looks like your riding the boringest trail around nelson

There are no boring trails around Nelson.. and its fall… good to see some all mountian riding on leaf covered trails.. that's what fall is all about in our area. I liked the video. Cool vibe.

context is everything, and in this case it's called pouring rain in the late afternoon and quick coming dark, and learning how to use my 7d for video for the first time ever. I didn't know Morg was going to post this here, it's really not much of an edit and I don't proclaim it to be the greatest ever! Just something short and fun. sorry it's not mega gnar, I'll try harder to impress you next time, skinuts.

Just something short and fun.

And that's exactly why we liked it. Looking forward to the next, dude!

If I did Facebook, I'd "like" it….

there really is nothing better than fall ridin in my books, the leaves in full glory, the scent of decomposing foliage and of course slippery, sloppy trails that went from easy to difficult in a few short weeks, well done todd

I like the riding. Not impressed by that espresso pour.
Come by Raymondo's next time you're in whis…
