testing the loaded setup for AZ

This is an amazing trail I just found last week in a place I have been riding for two years. The length of a 29er and fully rigid make it very challenging!

i was sold about 10 seconds in, so squiggly!

i love the ambiance of the trails in PNW, i have to get out there and ride some day. we were supposed to do oregon this year but arizona worked out better, maybe next year

I have decent bike handling skills, but my engine just is not quite what it was 30 years ago. However, if you make it out here, and wait for me at the end of each trail, I will show you a couple of great places. The trail system that this trail is in is getting a new section that is a flow area. So, great variety and maybe 50+ miles of different trails like this one.

How those terraduros feeeeeeeeeling? I want a pair for my Salsa Vaya. Also I want to ride all of those trails.

Cool creative camera positioning. Makes the vid more theatrical feeling.

In Moto-speak that is a first gear trail. Looks like there is never a second where you can release focus. Nice and bumpy too.

i was gonna post up in that thread today actually, it was the longest ride ive done on them so far so i think theyre breaking in now

great f-in shoes. buy them. tread is sticky as hell and the most comfortable bike shoe ive had. theres actual arch support too which is amazing. i could (i have) climb (ed) trees in these things

somehow they feel as stiff as my privateer's on the pedals, but when i have to walk or hike up a hill theyre as flexy as a quality hiking boot

There are a few short bursts of speed. However, if you "release" focus you will be eating trees or bushes very quickly!

Took the SS to Boston for Marathon Monday. Rolled around the city for almost 4 hours before the runners started to arrive at the finish. Since the bombing several years back they are blocking off tons of streets that approach the course and have security check points if you want to get closer to view the race. Just a great day to roll around the city. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=x_2KLmN9Bcw

you gotta live every week, like its schralp week.

Not bad for some old Georgia hillbillies.

I find the wheel being in the vid a little distracting. You? Not sure what can be done about that though.

I think that's kinda the point.

This is the DC Rainmaker demo video. Check out the supercars at 1:24.

Not the best perspective. Who wants to stare at feet and wheels for that long? I can understand if you're using several different POV to compile and edit a cohesive video.

I expect the novelty of the camera angle to wear off quickly. That much is a given.

Regardless of POV, few like to see more than 30 seconds of someone else riding anyway. Some do it well however - as you said, several different POV to create a cohesive video. I like the one's done by Gravel Cyclist. [MENTION=303015]Mumonkan[/MENTION] had the right idea a while back - very short vignettes shot and edited on the fly. Even at 12 seconds this one is long.


A couple of locals have been talking about documenting some of the more popular routes in our area so that people can get a taste of the ride before driving half way across Atlanta for a group ride. The mount might be passed around and used by several riders for that purpose.

yeah you really gotta edit the **** out of many many shots and angles to make anything interesting

it has to tell a story not just be "hey i rode here today for a while, this is what it looked like kindof"

that angle would be a great addition to an edit of "Stamdard. think of that angle from the rear axle in the middle of the peloton and you drope the hamer and pull away

This is from the manufacturer's website. One of the Garmin wearable products integrates with the GoPro to show ride stats on the fly.

Like you said, it really is "Hey, I rode here today" and doesn't tell a story. It is interesting footage of what looks like some really strong A groupers nonetheless. As a cyclist it is fun to watch these guys beat each other up, rotating a paceline, etc.

idunno wtf happened to that last sentence as im reading it back. i cant even remember what it was supposed to say

lots of free softwares out there to integrate that kinda data into your video tho

Better. Shorter.

I wanna live where the cars stay in driveways and roads are smooth.

It's **** outside so here's a video from warmer and drier days

This kid has it right. Proper vertical position maintained at the tipping point, casually deliberate posture, banking, coasting, floating.

I had to watch with the "music" turned off. :p

^ straight fixie goon right there
