Road Cycling “It is by riding a bicycle that you learn the contours of a country best, since you have to sweat up the hills and coast down them. Thus you remember them as they actually are, while in a motor car only a high hill impresses you, and you have no such accurate remembrance of country you have driven through as you gain by riding a bicycle.” -- Ernest Hemingway

Video Test Subject

My brother picked up some new video equiptment and needed a test subject to practice with, so I happily obliged. We didn't capture the best scenery Kansas has to offer, as we shot this in a park close by to his house. None the less, this was shot in Kansas, just south of Kansas City. I hope you enjoy!

Watch with the music on mute? I'll let my brother know you don't like the music choice.

Was that a random nod to Billy Madison with the penguin suit guy?

Hah! I didn't even think of that, but I think he was just wanting something random, and he had a penquin suit laying around.

shame too.. I love watching ride videos, but half of it is hearing the pedals click or the chain spinning along. tone the music down and throw in some of that. Still a good video none the less.

i actually agree, and suggested that to him. It was a really windy day, and he didn't want to mess with sound though.

Nice camera work and overall quick edit. I reiterate - the music is off-putting to the point where if you didn't mute the track you would simply stop watching.

Nice shots and all, but I don't really care for the over-use of the "jumping" sequences (not sure if there's a term) but where the shot shows something, and then it looks like there are frames missing and whatever is in the shot "jumps" ahead a bit. Made it look kinda jittery, like my internet connection was slow or something, which I know it's not.

I love Passion Pit! The video was good as well, though I didn't know Kansas had a penguin problem!

The music didn't bother me. Made the video unique IMO. I agree with what's his face about the frame skipping though.

Nice!

Next time get your bro to give you a gopro too.
a few shots from the rider's POV would be cool.

I would like to mention that I actually liked the music

Not bad
pretty good in fact
but not great

The middle of the video got a little repetitive, different scenery would be good (Show us what Kansas has to offer[Cross a bridge or something]), it got better towards the end with the different camera angles, more of that in the middle.
