so off we went in our little pile of crap that is the pug 205.

made up a camera mount thingy with some cardboard, polystyrene and lots of gaffa tape. taped the device to the front of my mates double-crown forks.

just a normal Nikon camera (7.1m pixel). realised lastnight i could have doubled the video quality. maybe next time.

so here goes....

i think your suspension forks needs suspension to iron out the bumps. Pic quality not bad in fact, so all round good effort. Looked a cracking day

Looks great fun, but I feel a bit sick now from all the jerking around.

Good effort, hope the knee is on the mend.

I thought you lived near the Alps alpin! I often go boarding in Silbersattel in the winter! Tend to do most of my riding in that area near Tabarz.

@ Roter Stern.... i did but have moved to the arsch-der-welt that is Coburg in north Bayern to be closer to the GF (under her feet if truth be told). what are you doing in Thüringerwald if you don't mind me asking?
If you are ever in der nahe, einfach sagen. it'd be nice to have a bit of english company and be able to laugh without the feeling of breaking some social taboo.....

need to sort out the angle of the camera, sadly it was a little too vertical but easily fixed.

camera quality can be twice as good and am looking at a way of mounting it either the chest or my stem so we can both take turns of being in the spotlight.

[i]what are you doing in Thüringerwald if you don't mind me asking?[/i]

I live in Leipzig but the gf family live in Thüringen near Tabarz. I generally get to go riding there about once a month when we take the children to visit the grandparents. I'm not really into the bikepark stuff (I don't have the bikes for it)and tend to do more the MTB marathons in Germany but there are some nice steep technical trails in the area especially off the 'Großer Inselserg' and if you are into DH the German National DH track ends up in Tabarz. If you want to meet up PM me and maybe we can arrange a weekend.
