If you look around on ebay there are a few "spy cams" or security cameras that are essentally the
same as the helmet cams you see elsewhere. I picked up a new one for $30 (us) that is about the size
of a 9v battery and the quality is really quite good. All you need is a camera that has video in and
you're rolling.

Nice. I like the rocky trail. Canadian trail? What's the location (looks like eastern CA)?

MMM, smooth trails. The video started out very blurry, then progressed to mildly blurry... but the
quality was still quite good! Looking forward to next year's vids.

It's just some local singletrack here in Cape Breton. Looks really sad now that all the leaves are
down and everything is grey, that tunnel effect you get in the summer is gone and it's hard to pick
out the trail at speed.

We don't name our trails, the whole network of about 15km is just known as "Wilf's Place" because
Wilf's is where where usually park the cars. There's at least 6 trail heads in there each with 3 to
6 ways to go so if you don't leave with the group chances are you will never find them
🙂 Unfortunately I didn't have the camera on for the first lap when I
had a guy in front of me on that fast narrow downhill, I was heckling him, "Faster! You're holding
me up old man! Go! go! go!" and he started a chain reaction pinball sort of thing off the trees
until he finally flipped over the bars and disappeared into the ferns. It was pretty funny. I can
make him do it again I'm sure 🙂

I figure it's ok to use a britney spears song so long as it is adequately raped by Prodigy. There
was a stick lying diagonally across the trail over a dip and my front wheel just kind of tried to
follow it. I just ejected over the bars and landed on my feet. Take that all you people that say
Time ATACS don't release!

The 50 minutes of 5mph bumps and roots don't make for very good viewing so you will never see those
unless you ride here 🙂. If you try to zoom it past 100% it looks like [censored].

I like the "effect" where you turned the music off when you fell off the bike, then turned it back
on when you started riding again!

Ah. I kept rewinding to see what it might be, but never saw it (yeah, slow day). Friggin' diagonal
roots. I'm guessing it was a little soggy out there? I ran into a bunch of those my last ride.

If you know they're coming (and you're not going uphill), you can pop the front wheel over and just
try to deal with your back wheel whipping sideways wildly (a trick I figured out after falling down
repeatedly while riding a rental bike in Pupukea). Its just a really uncomfortable feeling when the
bike is moving sideways!

Just for that the next video will be 2 hours of 2km/hr zig zaging up a 20 percent grade
double track.

Fun looking trails. Could you post some info on how you did your mount?
