[Closed] Local Rides(self filmed video)

Starting of about 3pm today I decided I would go out and self film a video of my local trails, because I have been told that local trails are always the best you will ever ride.
10 minutes into the ride I was smiling like a monkey with a banana. So I started filming, finding spots to shoot was easy, I just looked about thought that's a good bit of trail and whacked the camera down and started recording.

30 minutes later I was almost finished, riding about to bits of trail I like riding and plonking the tripod down. Then due to the recent rubbish, but still brilliant, British weather I found this great big puddle. Well my eyes just lit up with excitement to ride in it like a little child, so once again I just started the camera recording and rode straight into it. I was so happy and I do now seriously believe local trails are the best.

P.S Camera looks like I have shaven legs. I dont, its just not a brilliant camera.

Hope you like it.

it didn't take that long to make. but thanks anyway ๐Ÿ˜†

sorry about the music, I thought it fitted. But I am a teenager so the music choice would obviously be different if I was older.

Ah, "a teenager" you say. That'd explain the skids too. ๐Ÿ˜‰

Nice video. Looks like a fair bit of work.

Whereabouts is it shot?

๐Ÿ˜€ the skids were mainly unintentional ๐Ÿ˜‰ , I've still got a Michelin mountain dry 2 as my rear tyre and it was muddy.

Its shot at Rothwell Country Park

Thought it might be West Yorkshire. I recognised the coal-waste soil.

Someone keeps nobbing about with your zoom. Just a little bit.

Thanks, I'm probably at some point soon going to film a bit farther afield, like not the ones on my doorstep. ๐Ÿ™‚ Any help on what I can improve? other than my editing(which was my first try with a proper video editing program, as in not windows movie maker ๐Ÿ˜› ) all thought hints and tips on editing would be good.

I like it. It did cross my mind that some b*gger might run off with the camera while you are pedalling away having set up a shot! What video editing software do you use?
