Cherry Blossom (Ride-A-Lot), your perfect trail

[LIBERATOR]

Cherry Blossom (Ride-A-Lot), I saw this on the front page of RMN, it
was focused on getting girls into MTBing. It's the perfect trail for
you Cherry Blossom...
--------------------------------------------------------------------------
Trail Description: I'm excited about Centennial Cone because it fills
a badly needed void on the Front Range -- the perfect beginner trail.
So many of our rides are steep climbs, followed by steep descents.
They are often rocky and technical. Many of Front Range favorites just
aren't geared toward introducing someone to mountain biking.
Centennial Cone is a different story. The trail at Centennial Cone is
smooth as glass, with almost no technical sections. There is a very,
very short series of stairs in one area, but they are easy to
negotiate. Beginners will not feel intimidated by this trail, but they
will get the feel for riding real singletrack in a beautiful setting.
Additionally, there are no super-long, burly climbs or hairy descents.
The uphills and downhills are relatively short and all of the grades
are pretty reasonable. There is enough challenge there that you can
still get a workout, but it's not going to leave you physically
destroyed.

Have you seen this Kona thread?

Scary! can you imagine your frame breaking when you're doing a
wheelie over a rock?

I also read somewhere about the pedal spindle bearings being bad which
cracks the spindle and can cause injurous crashes if **** happens when
riding too fast. I'm still trying to remember where I read this
though. Ill send the link when I find it again.

That trail looks like a lot of fun. Flowing, fast, decent views...
maybe I went soft since I did in that knee?

Also, killer video quality. I can almost never watch ride videos
because of the constant jostling of the helmet/camera and the poor
resolution. Props.

Peter Fagerlin is very very good at both MTBing and video making.

But uh, I will surpass him in making a better video, using only my
$200.00 compact camera, with very limited focus.

Was this on here, privately, or neither? Not that I have helmet cam,
but I'm curious, and I may end up with one eventually if I come across
the right deal.

It was private, but I don't think it's a big secret or anything. The
key is some settings and steps within Premiere and keeping your
shoulders still (which I do not do very often).

Still shoulders are not the key. The key is to focus on
keeping the shooting platform (your head) still by absorbing
trail shock with your arms and legs and anticipating terrain
and picking as smooth a line as possible.

If you want better sound quality change the audio settings
from 48 kbps to 96 kbps. Your soundtrack sounds tinny and
bright due to the low bit rate.

Thanks, Pete. I haven't shot anything in a while, but I'll give it a
try next time. Also, have you seen the new camera from Viosport with
the mpeg recorder? Any comments or stay clear?

Hey what settings would you set on a compact, Sony CyberShot DSC W55?
I'm going to have the camera mounted on my chest, solar plexis level.
