"Unbeleivable" is a very strong word to describe one's photos.

Since they're so "unbeleivable," why don't you post an example Ansel?

"But it requires some preparations and skills, coordination that I doubt if you have any"

You really got me wrong. I wanted to share this method with other riders that are interested in it.
I did not want to brag about these photos and say there any better than yours. This is why I wont
show them to you. The subjects of the pictures are usually other riders. The blurry background is
not my goal.

P.s: If you have any other method to take photos while you are on the bike and riding it, I'll be
glad to know about it.

OK, see how I moved your (non) reply BELOW the (unanswered) question/challenge? No extra charge.

You wrote the exact same thing to Pete Fagerlin, one of the most accomplished
photo/videographers around.

Even allowing for a possible language barrier, you're an idiot.

PS: When are we gonna see these amazing pics???

Read the posts again. You will find a difference. Pete even thought it was funny.

Both of you really got me wrong. I wanted to share this method with other riders that are interested
in it. I did not want to brag about these photos and say there any better than Pete’s. This is why I
wont show them to you.

I have even seen some of his photos and videos. Some of them are very interesting.

P.S: I hope it’s easier for you to understand if it’s written down here.

Yes, I have this method for taking pictures from my bike:

I buy 3 feet of #4 anchor chain from my local chandlery. I weld a 5" x9" 1/4 thick steel plate
(saving up for Ti plates) to each end. Then I take a combination of paper mache, silly putty, and
orange peels and I create a vibration absorbing nest that I put the camera in. The chain goes around
my neck and the nest fits between the plates (which are held together by four C clamps to keep the
camera in place). As I'm am riding next to my buddies, I take incredibly unbeleivable pictures. But
they are so unbeleivable that I can't show them to you.

Darn right. I've posted lots of decent to mediocre to bad stuff, but at least you get the idea of
what the terrain and rides are like. If I was that good, you'd see them in magazines.

Then there are riding photos that are awesome in and of themselves, such as:

I have an s50 and even in the action mode, there is a significant delay. On my 10D, I don't have
that problem. But, carrying a digital SLR on a bike is a bit tough.

Now that we all see your skills and coordination abilities as well as your genius method of taking
photos from your bike- I understand why you panicked when you read my first post. The motive to your
panic and hostile over reaction is your fear of other people's abilities. Your self-esteem is so low
that you need to undermine other people to feel better. Any new method of doing something different
then you know means a threat to your imaginary dominance of photography. It could have been simpler
for you to respond like this to my first post: "Thanks for sharing your experience with me. I'm not
going to use this method because I lack the necessary skill but it's an idea."

"Panicked"?

Language lesson time:

"Panicked" does not mean the same thing as "was amused at the silly claims" in english.

The motive to your panic and hostile over

Quoted message said:

reaction is your fear of other people's abilities.

So let me get this straight:

I fear some guy who tries to take pictures while riding his bike on wide trails with a camera
hanging by a rubber band. Pictures that are so incredible that he can't share them.

Surely you can't be that stupid, can you?

Where is this imaginary dominance of photography? I need to find it since I'm nowhere near being
even 10% towards dominating photography. My goal this year is to reach 3.5%.

Your "new method" is easily replicated by normal photographic techniques with the bonus being that
you can take interesting pictures of people riding narrow trails.
