Good vid. Where was this shot? Now all I want to do is leave work and ride.

ha.. I should have figured people would notice that. Not a lefty... I think that's just picking up the bike after setting up the camera.. I just liked the shot. It's shot in Montauk, NY.

really nice camera placements and the music works great with the edits and kept me watching and watching. Those single tracks look like a hell of a lot of fun, makes me want to get the road 28s off my cross bike and slap a set of cross tires on.
well done vid, if you were alone, that was a lot of "back and forth" of camera placement and then scooting back, getting back up to speed for the flyby.
my only gripe, the bike lover in me hates seeing a bike dropped so unceremoniously into the sand chain side down....(as a dad, I am always saying to my kids, and my wife for that matter--DONT put your bike down on the derailleur side like that, Ive told you a million times!!
kudos to you, really captures the joy of beaning along on a nice trail.

djb.. it's not derailleur side down because there are no derailleures. But I know what you mean. Truth is half those trails are sand, so that was nothing more than what the bike was going through already.
The gearing is 36x18 and the frame is a ciocc cyclocross from the 90s that i have set up single speed. the part with me walking looks flat but was far from it. There was no way I could have run up it. The camera really takes the edge off all sorts of sketchy sections. I did shoot it all my self and there was a lot of back and forth. lik the end shot, that was me running back with a slipped chain to turn the camera off because I had limited space to shoot with.
thanks for all the comments.

chuckle, yeah I know it has no derailleur, I was just razzing ya cuz it made me think of my son plonking his bike down all the time...and yes, I know what you mean bout all the sand it was getting. Its like when we personally crash a bike, we dont raise an eyebrow (ish) when we do it, but to see someone purposely toss a bike off an embankment would make us all cringe.
as for the camera taking the edge off the sketchy bits, I hear ya I hear ya. I did a loaded tour of a good part of the Pyrenees from East to West and took a good pt and shoot with B+W film, and it was a bugger to capture the steepness of stuff. I did a lot of panoramic stuff (manually stitching together prints) which helped with getting a sense of the space, and sometimes helped with gradient just cuz there would be more stuff way to the side to relate the grade to, and/or seeing a lower switchback or whatever in the same "shot". I think in general with stills, wide angles, low down and some slight camera tilt can help a lot, but hard with moving video--low low camera placement has gotta help though.
again, really good placements of using foreground stuff to break up the shot types. Plus the changing sun shots too were a good touch.
it works.
really does make one want to hit a trail and boogie.
