    Ride up Rist Canyon

    Well, here is the first video I've recorded on the GoPro HD and tried editing. Next time I think I will switch the camera position around a few times to get some more angles, and pick a road I know better so I can ride a bit smoother. Anyways, here it is, lemme know what ya guys think.

    I don't like looking through windscreens. What mount are you using? It seems that the more "linkage" people use ie; suction cup mount, the shakier the videos are, especially on rougher pavement.
    Nice first try though

    No one likes gravel on top of concrete, that shit's slippery.

    Lol, to be honest, each of the times I caught back up to them I pulled over, turned the camera off and waited. Only actually passed one car all day, not worth making a dangerous pass on double yellows, better to just hang out for a bit and give them room.

    Bueller, I was using their suction cup mount and I was bummed at how much vibration it had. The addition that I do like though was buying the little lcd back for the camera so that you can actually see what it sees and line up your shot. My first two rides I had it helmet mounted and came back quite disappointed in my video.
