Every Wednesday we'll be posting a round-up of videos that have caught our eye over the previous seven days. Starting this week’s collection is Specialized-sponsored freerider Matt Hunter and his love for his 2012 S-Works Enduro.

We last saw Hunter in his Lone Wolf video shot on a two-day trek in the Canadian wilderness, and while this is more of an ad for the big S, there are still some breathtaking shots of him and his Enduro in action.

Uberhood

Before you snigger, the guys behind Uberhood – an umbrella 'system' for your bike – appear to be deadly serious. A quick browse of their website however, and you might struggle to believe it, with cringe-worthy spiel such as this: "With the Uberhood special silver lining reflecting the sun, you won’t just look cool, you’ll BE cool". They claim it's aerodynamic, but we suspect this hasn't been proven in the wind tunnel. Check it out below.
