Downhill RR: i went for a ride.

So i did one run at my local trail today, well known on here as the Super Secret DH Trail.
It was in great condition today, so i decided to try and setup my inexpensive helmet cam. Sorry for the crappy quality and loud noise..
Oh, and i forgot to grab my memory card, so i chose to record these 2 sections. :lol:

did you build any sweet jumps

 

Nope, but i did see a new 3 or 4 ft tall ladder that was freshly build this morning, and then a new trail is being made as we speak..
Hopefully me and my buddies will be planning a build day this week since its so perfect there right now..

 

Did you mount the camera on your handlebars?

 

Which trail has the new ladder... on the right, or the left or right down zee middle?

 

yeah thats why its shaky, i just didnt have time do fanagle with it to put on my helmet and have it set up good, it was a last minunte thing.. i'll try to do a run or two or three tomrrow and re video a whole run without forgetting my memory card :lol:

The C trail, in the middle, and it has a new line that brakes off about half way down and meets up with it right before the chute. the ladder is between the trails, and i was flying down and didnt want to stop so i saw it and kept going. if i get a chance i'll stop and check it out more tomrrow

 

Sweet!

Did you duck tape the camera for the mount?

 

Funny thing, i did use alot of electrical tape cuz the clamp/mount for the camera was too big for my bars, so i have the electrical tape to make them thicker..



Anyone off tomorrow and want to shuttle this?

 

BFlow, I think I'm going to try it. It would be really funny if everyone started posting pictures/video clips of their own homemade camera mounts to this thread.

 

I'll go take a pic of mine....
the mount isnt homemmade, but the electrical tape is =]

So you are up for riding tomorrow?
anyone else?
2 vehicles is best for shuttling, so we can get back up to the top

 

cant believe nobody has the day off and wants to do some shuttle runs :lol:

 

Is this posted to youtube? It's blocked at my work.. :-s

I wanted to get one of those go pro cameras at Interbike, they were selling them at a special = $120. Mondo owes me one cause he said they would be marked down by the last day to probably $80 or less so I waited, they sold out at $120 the second night. #-o

Mondo? Mondo? :lol: j/k

I wish to start videoing too, would like to share some lines down the Merrills for ya'll. 8-[

 

I have to work and it's a Monday. I need the $$$ (tough times).

 

im saving up for the $699.99 Vio Sports Pov 1
that thing is crystal clear, even underwater, and in a dune buggy, on doing backflips on motorcycles.

 

eh, for $700, i'd just spend the extra 200 and get a good HD camcorder. those are even more crystal clear, but not necessarily underwater or doing backflips :-k

 

well, 700 is a different story if i can order it through work

 

Since you have time, how about filling in some of the ruts on the first chute? :?:

 

why would i do that, then the dh would be easy :lol:
Well, if i can get a ride there, or to the top, ill take a shovel and do some work, but i cant seem to get up there iwith any tools

 

i hate you in the most sarcastic way possible....

seriously...

 

Go Pro Helmet cam??? If so, set your volume to the low setting, it will eliminate alot of the rattle noise
