Last spring I decided to combine one of my ‘Hans Rey Adventure Team’ trips with a project for my charity ‘Wheels 4 Life’.Finally I had found, what seemed to be, the perfect place to start our “Wheels 4 Villages – Film Project” – to document on film over two years the impact bicycles will have on communities and the lives of individuals of the Ugweno Valley in Tanzania; right in the shadow of Africa’s highest mountain, Kilimanjaro (5896m/19,344ft.).
Hans' & Peaty's Irish Pub Crawl Dublin, Ireland
"That's it, I had enough, I can't stand anymore pubs for at least a month or lets say a week", after spending the last 6 days in an RV camper together with the current Downhill World Cup Champion Steve Peat and Irish photographer Victor Lucas.
Kenny Belaey (23) from Belgium is the current UCI Trials World Champion 26”, and I understand why. After spending a week and a half with him I have to say he is the best trials rider I’ve ever seen – maybe that’s why they call him the ‘Magician’?
Kenny came to California in April ’06 to train for his upcoming trials season, to visit the Sea Otter event and maybe to learn a trick or two from the old dog, but not necessarily on the bike.
As I write this I'm sitting in the beautiful garden of the former Governor of the Leyte Province. The Larrazabal Family is the organizer of the 5. Terry Larrazabal Bike Festival, one of the biggest cycling events in Southern Asia. I was invited to the festival as special guest, ambassador and trials showman. I decided to ride my bike prior to the festival to some of the incredible natural sites in the Philippines, little did I realize what the Philippines had to offer in terms of mountains, volcanos and over 7100 islands.
A few days ago I finished my latest 'Hans Rey Adventure Team' trip together with Cross Country legend Thomas Frischknecht from Switzerland. We did a 6 day freeride tour in the heart of the Alps utilizing ski-lifts, gondolas, trains and shuttles to get around and to the top of some of the best singletrails in the world. We did close to 60,000 ft (20,000 m) vertical downhill trails. The Alta Rezia regions consists of approx. 40 villages partly Swiss and partly Italian; our route started in St. Moritz via Tirano via Livigno to Bormio, with many detours and surprises along the way.
As usual we had a filmcrew in tow (Halsundbeinbruch Film), who filmed in HD format for a DVD and to produce royalty-free TV footage; as well as photographer Stefan Eisend, who is also producing a royalty-free photo CD. Our complete crew was on bikes, which really helped us keep the pace and move along very efficient.
