Was he on an Iron Horse? That would explain the crash.

Seriously, that camera angle was cool, but it gave me a headache after a few minutes.

I know! The only reason I posted it was the fact sooo many people had issue with the Fontana DH course! Wanted people to see how easy The Pro's made it look!

You've been drinking haven't you?

He didn't CRASH! What happened was: He rode over a sinkhole. The bike simply laid itself down in order to minimize the impact to Sam Hill.

If you will look closely, you can see how the bike's air bag system (standard on Iron Horse Sunday's) was deployed! Two Giant riders, 3 Santa Cruz riders and 197 Specialized riders DIED while crashing at the exact same location.

Only Sam hill rode away!

it's a wide angle ethan so it seems to be far out but if you've seen Fear Factor where they have the helmet cam the movements are pretty smooth as well when they're running around

it's physics...

because the camera is mounted to his helmet, it doesn't move independently of his head, making his head look completely stationary. it's an optical illusion because in reality his head is probably moving at least a little bit...

i saw the behind the scenes sections in ROAM and the camera wasn't mounted too far out...
