It is with great regret that we have had to cancel all our summer mountain biking video projects for 2011, after uncontrollable circumstances forced us to leave Switzerland earlier than planned which left us with almost no video footage whatsoever for this season. OverDrive has been growing ever since it was first created in June 2009, with an ever-increasing amount of viewers and projects up until this point. 2011 has been the year in which this has changed, and our reputation of delivering high-quality action sports videos consistently has now been compromised. The lack of updates and new site material in the last couple of months has been due to the fact that OverDrive's creator has had to prioritize university applications and school work, and we estimate that things will be back to normal next February.

Our remaining planned projects for 2011 include a short event coverage video of the Polygon Urban Downill race in Singapore, part of the increasingly popular Mettle Games series inaugurated in 2010. Time permitting, we may also have the opportunity to cover the skateboarding and wakeboarding events from the same series, but schedules have not yet been finalised by the organisers at this point. Our other planned project for the remaining part of 2011 is a ski / snowboard-based video shot over a week in Verbier, Switzerland in December, which may be produced as part of our 'Athlete Profile' series. We are still currently looking for athletes to feature in this video and will post regular updates closer to the production stage on the OverDrive blog.

Finally, I would like to thank our viewers, who have tremedously helped OverDrive over the last 2 years by providing feedback on our projects, helping us to come up with ideas for new ones, and continuously encouraging us to improve the quality of our work.
