Baldy located only 45 miles from Los Angeles. http://www.mtbaldy.com/ The show opens in Washington D.C at the Lincoln memorial with Xcorps X Guru host Eric Ducharme shooting for an upcoming episode. See what fun unique sport will be featured. Segment one opens with Eric touring D.C. and throwing it back to California where Rat and a dozen other adrenalized speed junkies are carving down the slopes of the 10,064 foot Mt.Baldy near Upland California on snowbikes. This is the second time the Xcorps cams have focused on this cool new sport-which is allowed only on a select few forward thinking ski resorts here in the U.S. Thanks Mt.Baldy-Robbie Ellingson for your grooviness. The Xcams follow the action POV style with warm spring conditions requiring only T-shirts on the Xbike and Slopecycle riders. See BMX pro Brian Stuart AKA ‘Bubba’ go insanely big on the Winter X Bike-the new way to slide the slopes. See what it takes to convert any bicycle into a snow bike using the simple kit. After the break Rat shows up at the top of Mt.Baldy this time riding a Slopecycle- a new cross up between a BMX bike and a snowboard. http://www.slopecycle.com/ Remember you saw it 1st on Xcorps! Lots of sweet rides and big crashes here edited with a very cool cinematic style music video from the Maverick Records band the Deftones doing their hauntingly powerful song Minerva. Keystone Colorado ski patrol member Josh Thompson talks about what the Slopecycle is all about and how easy it is to ride. After that Prodigy pumps their new song SpitFire with Rat and the X gang carving it up and hucking big! See the biggest crash of the day caught by Xcorps cams with even more action this time cut with a new music video from GoldFinger doing their song Wasted. Big mosh pit shots here! The show wraps with Tantric doing their song Breakdown and Bubba stepping up with a few more airborne moves along with a quick look at Eric the XGURU throwing some Disc Golf from the next episode of Xcorps coming soon.

Xcorps Action Sports Show #18.)"MTN.BOARD"seg3- Xcorps host Eric Ducharme and 20 other dirt board skaters roll down the infamous Nate Harrison grade on the backside of Californias Mt. Palomar in this grassroots speed driven episode. All terrain skating also known as mountain boarding is a hybrid sport that has taken skating to a whole new grass roots level of adrenalized excitement. Once again Xcorps cameras were the only ones rolling on the action as boarders ripped down the 7 miles of rough fire road on the historic Palomar Mtn which is topped by the famous observatory. Race rules were simple- fastest time to the bottom of the mountain wins. The show opens fast and hot as the X Guru and other boarders strap themselves to their specialized skateboards, which have pneumatic tires, and spring suspensions that help handle the bone jarring washboard ride. Dirt riders roll hard in show scenes backed by Maverick Records band One Side Zero. See the dust and gravel fly as Eric and the guys and one gal-Julian Lewis- slide into the hairpins. Lots of cool POV and multi angle speed shots here along with some brutal wipeouts. Most riders do wear full protective gear resulting in a good survival rate. Eric then talks to race organizer Rob Eakle about the grass roots event and the sponsors that make it happen. After that Eric intros a new video from our friends at RIVE with the band Skinny Puppy showing some major break skills in their new video called Pro Test directed by William Morrison. Very hip shot and edited film backed with tunes by a world-class band. The next segment rolls right into another new video from RIVE and Side One Dummy Records with the band Flogging Molly rocking a punk Celtic-Core Irish jig called Drunken Lullabies. See band member and pro skater Matt Hensley huck some sweet street skate moves here along with more dirt skate scenes with Eric from Mt.Palomar. Nice dusty wipeouts too! After that the X Guru interviews NHG 7 mtn board 1st place race winner Krazy Kris Kidwell and 2nd place winner pro Akoni Kama who talk about their recent gigs. The show wraps with more dirt skate action from Palomar including 4 year old Damian Hurtenstein showing his young board skills followed by a look at some core dirt board action scenes from the video Flirt With Dirt by Damon Krouse. Dirt boarders rule the dust! TRT-29:30 Closed Captioned 10/04 J.S.Edmondson See the Action Hear the Music Join the Xcorps! ©2007 TheXcorps < less
