Has to be Eurosport with Sean commentating but must a be a few years old. When was Leopard Trek the name of O'Gradys team?
But will have to sort a short vid for this Thread. Must be something I haven't posted yet that is worth viewing.

Looks like a good ride. We've really got to stop (handheld) videoing while riding! Gotta listen to that voice that says "I really shouldn't be doing this."

Don't think that I didn't notice that you split the lane between two cars while filming, and panned around to the rear while passing other cyclists.
But definitely a fun little video -- makes me want to make more.
I thought you were getting flipped off at 0:56 but I upped the resolution, and saw that it was just a wave.

That is actually a frontage road that just gives parking lot access to a number of lots (and a 15MPH speed limit besides) so it's not what it appears.
I have no idea why those two SUVs were there! But the two in front of me yelled out to them and were acknowledged before they went through.
I don't really look at the camera when doing this sort of thing ... just point it in the general direction and see what comes out. I had no idea we were waved to until I took a look at the video.
I gotta get me a GoPro or a Countour. Hmmm.

Recent ride on Mt. Spokane with friends. A great day of shuttling: good group, hero dirt and perfect weather.
Be forewarned: LONG (18 minute) video. I purposely only edited out the catch-up stops to give a feel for how long one run can be. This was last run of the day, a full top-to-bottom that strings together 3 unique trails into a nearly-continuous downhill.

Thanks! Haha, didn't even think of it. Mighta been good for the Jedi Trees for sure. Was in a very Bruce Brown mood when I put it together, as you might be able to tell.

^ lol.
This admittedly has nothing to do with cycling, but I stood there mesmerized by it for a good long while.

BluesDawg, that sure seemed fast for a dirt road. Maybe when filming, you should angle the GPS up so that the camera can read it, and choose only one or two data fields.

It was probably about 25 mph at the fastest point. I guess I could do that if showing my speed reading on the video was my goal, but it isn't. I set it to display the information I want to see and angle it so that I can read it. I have actually rotated the mount a little forward since that was filmed so I can read it better.
