Default From Hadley to a short vid

First off, Hadley has great customer support. I recently had to swap the shell on my hub for a new one and I could not get it to fit correctly, it has been driving me nuts because I wanted to test a camera on the Stinky but could not ride it.

I am thinking, what the hell, did I drop a bushing or something ... etc etc etc

So I call Hadley and find out that my shell and the new shell are slightly different and the new one requires a new stop bushing. Ahhhhhh, thats the trick, so they are sending one out to me today.
Great company, great folks.

Continued in my next post over in Trail Talk...

Default From Hadley to a short vid

MOD EDIT: Merged threads

Continued from my other post in the "General" forum ...

...Well seeing as I have to wait I rigged the hub so I could get a quick little dh run with the camera hooked up. I am thinking something like 1min worth. So I hike up my local trail with Stinky in tow, get to the top and find out the camera does not want to record. I check the settings, make sure the cables are tightly fitted, check the battery, nothing. Dang it!!

Off I go back home to do some trouble shooting.
Get home and low and behold, the camera is now working just fine. I almost tossed it aginst the wall.

So instead of getting some trail footage I did some small curb hopin' and a small drop off our wall. Did not want to go to hard as the hub is not quite right until I get the bushing I need.

So here is a vid with a new camera position I am trying out. Nothing special nor exciting, just two min of not much to get a feel of what it will look like. After the initial 45 seconds I pretty much do the same circle and tinny drop...

That is a trip. Interesting perspective.

Looks like it's mounted pretty solid. Was that on the Stinky or the Ransom?

Definitely a new perspective. Interesting... interesting. Did you try it facing forward?

Oh yeah, before I forget... clean your room.

I have seen it done facing forward so I wanted to see what it would look like pointed back. Not what I expected but it seems to work.

I am going to get some footage on the trail, at a pump track and at the BMX track. I will post it up after I finish.
