uRide.tv Has Successfully Conquered 10 Live Stream Events, Produced More Than 325 Video Highlights and Interviews, 98 Countries Tuning In, With 6 More Months Of 2012 To Go!

“uRide.tv is paving the way in cycling with cutting edge technology, follow through, and solidifying partnerships along the way,” says Sami Tauber, CEO of BikeWear World. The first half of the 2012 year was all about understanding the fundamentals in live streaming video production, following through on as many industry related events as possible with video highlights and marketing internationally. “Our website has hosted more than 10 live stream events, allowing the race directors to market their events globally, which is a first ever. The race directors understand that they are now able to reach a multitude of cyclists, fans, friends, teammates, managers, and coaches who are not able to be at the venue, but enable them the experience of watching the event live. “The response has been unbelievably positive. People are so excited to have a chance to see their significant others race, or their children win, or their student racers carry out taught strategies. uRide.tv video production adds glamour and results to a race event,” says Tauber. With the advanced technology available, the uRide.tv team is able to offer video on demand of live stream race events, product launches, bike shop grand openings, VIP parties, tours, nationals, championships and trade shows. “The goal is to create a virtual destination that cyclists can call home,” says Sami Tauber, CEO of www.uRide.tv. uRide.tv will be live streaming the 20th Tour De Nez criterium. “It all started as a party without a bike race in 1986 as the 1st anniversary of Reno’s first full blown coffee house, Deux Gros Nez. During the 7th anniversary party in 1992, the mighty Tour de Nez criterium was added as another piece of the entertainment at the party. 20 years later, it is now one of the more significant professional stage races in the country having taken place in 2 states: Nevada and California; the cities of Reno and Truckee, Virginia City, and along the shores of Lake Tahoe,” quoted from the website. The competition is going to be brutal for the $14,000 cash prize. With famous Dave Towle on the announcer stage right before the Tour of Utah and the USA Pro Cycling Challenge, this is a top notch race destination for cyclists. With the summer in full swing, we can offer a glimpse into our video production list like: Tour of Utah, Epic Breck, Colorado Freeride Festival, USA Pro Challenge in Colorado, Univest GP and BMX Nationals. “Don’t miss our favorite manufacturers releasing their 2013 products with uRide.tv on video at several of the industry trade shows this year! These are very exciting times for us,” says Tauber. Make uRide.tv your video destination!”

2011 The Year of Change: Health, Train, Enlightenment, Races, Bikes, Products and Nationals!

Go Positive, Be Healthy, Be Successful, BMX Nationals, Tour of California, Trade Shows, Stage Race Crits, and lots of Tours…

BikeWear World L.L.C. and uRide.tv is booked every weekend for the next 10 months. It is very exciting that the bike industry is officially kicking up the notch on the hot level. “We have videographers in 7 states booked from city to city covering BMX, Crit stage races, Motocross events, Tours and Trade Shows. The level of excitement among riders, event directors, videographers and fans is at an all time high. It is about time our country showed some passion, love for bikes and taking on health. I think we, as a country, as a people, have hit rock bottom and realize that we can rise, grabbing onto things that center us, make us happy, creating positive results throughout. Even though the media and statistics are showing stagnated growth, level of depression and major hostility; the malls, races, the roads are full of positive people taking charge of change. The cycling industry is growing by leaps and bounds. Triathlons are finally considered as a sport and even recognized in the Olympics; as is BMX, and Cyclocross, where beers are served and bikes are cool, is becoming hot!,” says Sami Tauber, CEO, of BikeWear World L.L.C.

“People are tired of having nothing to look forward to, nothing to feel passionate about and nothing to wake up every day to get excited about. If you look on the roads, on the trails, on the tracks, people are doing it! People are not waiting around anymore. It is the most exciting thing ever! Bike manufacturers are inventing some amazing new developments; race events are turning up in every city; cycling groups and clubs are popping up everywhere; and even rural cities are making changes! We have a lot to look forward to as a country. We just have to power through, one day at a time. So, dust off your bike, get to a mechanic for a tune up, visit your local bike shop, and get involved! Baby Boomers are coming of age as our older generation this year in the millions and are preoccupied with health and their “bucket list.” Make room for them on the roads, on the trails, in the race age groups, because they have a level of passion that has been stifled. They are ready! Are you? ” says Tauber.

uRide.tv has hired on some heavy duty, very experienced videographers this year for 2011. From Oprah’s cameraman, Tim Burton’s 3D animator, Fuel TV’s camera crew, to even Ricki Lake’s camera guy, these videographers are out there ready to film you! Some very cool events are planned in the next few months of 2011. Pennsylvania has some road races like the Union Grove Classic, Long Pine Classic, Salisbury Road Race, Urban Dare Pittsburg, Cannonman Triathlon, Nittany Lion Cross, Marshman Triathlon, tons of duathlons and the Ironman 70.3 Pocono Mountains events which Uride.tv will be covering. Utah has the Tour of Utah, Tour of Depot, Gran Fondo of Moab, Park City Triathlon, Shark City Triathlon, Hell of the North Road Race, and Ironman St. George.

BikeWear World L.L.C. partners with Mammoth Motocross!

uRide.tv will be the exclusive media for the Mammoth Motocross…

BikeWear World L.L.C. and uRide.tv just came off a 10 day road trip with Amgen’s Tour of California. “The experience was nothing like we expected,” says Sami Tauber, CEO of BikeWear World L.L.C. uRide.tv had videographers through every stage filming highlights of the energy it takes to put a race on of this caliber, the passion of the fans, the fight and courage the riders braved after hours and miles of riding. I knew this year was going to be fun and amazing, but I had no idea that we were going to have access and involvement with events of this caliber. This is like winning a free trip to Disneyland for kids. Honestly, it does not get much better than having the opportunity to film one of my favorite riders Mr. George Hincapie and my most favorite blue eyed actor, Mr. Patrick Dempsey. I think the best part of the whole experience is being able to re-live it through our videos. It was like saying goodbye after a 10day summer camp. The relationships we made on the road with fellow media members, AEG representatives, fans, athletes, local restaurant and hotel employees was an amazing experience. I highly recommend experiencing a few days on the road with this tour to anyone who loves this sport. Being out there enabled us to feel the love our industry still has for the sport of cycling and professional cyclists,” says Sami Tauber, CEO of BikeWear World L.L.C.

“Our next huge event will be partnering with Mammoth Motocross,” says Tauber. “Back in 1968, Don Rake and some friends decided to put on a motocross event in Mammoth Lakes, California. They built a world-class track 8,000 feet up in the Sierra Nevada Mountain range. Dave McCoy came along and offered the backing of his Mammoth Mountain Ski Area and the rest is history. Every summer racers have flocked to Mammoth Mountain for this classic event. It is the oldest continuous running motocross in the USA. The track has changed a little over the years, but the fun hasn't. Many of the top racers in the world have honed their skills at this event. There have been some epic battles over the years and many racers have made a name for themselves on this track. Riders like Ricky Carmichael, Jeremy McGrath, Rick Johnson, Johnny O'Mara, Broc Glover, Donny Schmitt, Steve Lamson, Gary Jones, Kevin Windham, David Bailey, Jeff Ward, Ron Lechien, Bob Hannah, James Stewart, Mike Bell, Donny Hansen and many more. It also has become one of the major amateur events in the country as well. You can see the factory riders of tomorrow racing in the mini classes at Mammoth today,” according to the race director. This event is scheduled from June 17-June 27, 2010.

With more than 2500 participants actively racing in the Mammoth Motocross, uRide.tv will be filming every day! Come on by and share the love and experience of riding!
