First helmet cam video

You might want to wear sunglasses to watch it, the sun was
low and flashes the camera a lot in the beginning. Plus
everyone looks cooler in sunglasses.

2 min, 8 meg, win media 9 format (looking for
something better)

Shot at the local playground aka quarry park, it's not quite
xc, not quite freeride, just a happy medium.

Thanks you-know-who

 

Nice video. I like the music. I get tired of all the rap/rock on most other videos.

Cool. That looks like a fun little playground. I've had the
same issues with sunlight on my cam and have been trying to
come up with a good polarizing filter for it which should
help some (not sure how much).

Now you need to dial in your mount to try and keep it level
(also struggled with that).

Thanks for sharing.

The obvious solution to this is to ride the trail in the
opposite direction

Nice. Quarries / bombholes are always good for a giggle.

Looks like XC to me...looks like fun, anyway!

I think I'll just try to do filming when the sun is
higher. When the trees have filled in it should be a
little better too.

I think the mount was good, mostly my head With all that
weight though I can't seem to find a way to really hold the
helmet on well, lots of jostleing

Glad you like it. I have bunch of non-rap/rock/punk
music (well maybe a little old skool punk) in mind for
future vids.

It will help very little.

The best solution is to make a lens hood out of tape and
heavy paper/plastic if you have to ride when the sun
angle is low.

 

Cool but I'm from Florida. Those hills made me car sick.

That would be Jerry Reed and Chet Atkins doin Jerry's
Breakdown. Jerry's one of those country guys worth
listening to.

I thought it sounded like those two guys. Two of the best guitar players ever.

No doubt (not the band, just the expression!). So is Chet.
