Recently i've been finding it hard to get motivated to ride (crappy weather + manflu + various lame excuses). Thought that if I brought the Gopro and a selection of home-made mounts that it'd give me the push I needed.
Took the new On One up to the local leafy swamp for it's second run out. As expected, most of the trails were a bog but the bike handled them without too much fuss. The main thing that struck me with having such a long fork was the need to have trust in your front tyre. The bike came specced with Michelin Mountain Dry 2's. Perhaps a clue is in the name but they squirm around something shocking. Great fun on a day like today but they'll be getting swapped very soon.
Anyway, here's the vid. Short and autumnal.
Nice vid, Euro. Get some swampthings!
BTW what software did you use to stitch it all together and how long did it take to edit it from start to finish?
nice 😀
Cheers spw, i'm normally a HR man (habit) but a swampie on the front might just be the ticket.
Edited in moviemaker (windows 7) then fixed in moviemaker (vista) as there were strange video echo things appearing. Took just over an hour i'd guess.
Not bad. I'm still working up the Mojo to attack the pile of video clips a mate and I took in the Alps in the summer.
I use High Rollers all the time too but last winter put a pair of swamp things on. So good I kept them much longer than necessary this spring.
Do it. Sit yourself down with your drug of choice* and get editing.
* not LSD, gawd only knows what it would end up like 😆
If anyone's interested, here's the patent pending mounts used. The StickMount is just a camelbak sized pointy dowel with a camera mount taped to it and the TreeMount is a butchered head strap with a rucksack clasp doofer sewn on. Works a treat.

its videos like that that make me want to use flats. foot out flat out 😛
Nice vid but tighten those cuts up a bit! Staring at empty trails for a second or two far too often!
Couldn't stand my summer season with long forks, love it at 100mm...
Nice cornering on squirmy tyres!
Thanks gents. Never ridden with clips float, don't normally stick the foot out that often either but it felt the right thing to do.

Still getting used to the 150 Revs on it. Possibly too much but it's early days yet. Keen to take it to up a mountain to see how it rides with the big fork.
Watched the vid back and see what you mean about the empty trails. Done a bit of editing just for you Gary 😀
Nice work on the 2nd edit.
slainte 😀 rob
Nice one, loaaads better 🙂 And skills btw, you know it's MTB not cycle speedway right, braaap!
Lovely. Good choice of tune too 🙂
Like the drop in to drift! 😀
Nice wee film 🙂
Sweet bike, lovely video mate, first video was awesome, second one even better, fair play in re-editing it for steven spilberg over there 🙂
nice work dude.
