Taipei is one of the top cities in Asia for offroad mountain biking. Though most of the stellar trails lie on the perimeter of the city, The Gas Plant Trail sits in the middle. A popular area for hikers and bikers, the Formosan Fat Tire Association has popularized the area for mountain bikers as well. A short 3 1/2 km loop, the trail takes less than an hour to ride. However, the trail packs a bigger pound-for-pound punch than any other trail in Taiwan.

This video was shot over the 2003 Chinese New Year holiday when free time was ample, and hikers weren't too numerous. The majority of the filming was done by Michele (the Kid), with riders John "Slick" McHale, Geoff "the Dominator" Quirk, Stephen "Wild" Wilde and Dennis "Doughnut" Flood handling the riding for the shoot.
