Well, looking for peer reviews but I am already aware...
1. My voice adds nothing and I will keep my gob shut next time throughout
2. I am maybe being a bit to brutal on the editing, I will learn
3. Yes, not very technical trails, but I will add those later

I shoot my own terrible Go Pro movies but am too cowardly to share them, so well done!

Positive points:

Lovely location
Not bumpy (some visual distortion noticed - did you use smoothing software?)
Cyclists in view
Documents the trail nicely

Negative points:

Need to angle the camera up more - I got eyeball ache
You didn't huck the steps! 🙂
Probably a bit long for general entertainment

Thanks for the pointers, both camera angle and length of video will be reviewed for the next ride this weekend.
I will look to bring the next video down to sub 10 minutes if possible and add some music, the final edit will dictate what type of music though.
Trail is on Lantau Island, Hong Kong and is a nice easy XC ride, next video will be more of an AM/XC mix.
