Good video quality, but man, I'd be just a little embarrassed to have fallen over sticks and twigs on the trail. Must a been the 4 stroke that caused it.

I put it up, so take your swings. No shame here.

O.K., thinking that perhaps I might have been a bit harsh, I went back and reviewed that video. You aren't in the least a LITTLE embarrassed?

Hey, everybody goes down. What? Now no one will go riding with me because I got nabbed by a slick stick?
I've got game...here is a site that has a few other vids I made:

Dubs vids

Never trip, stub your toe, spill your drink, kick the leg of the coffee table? Humans make mistakes, at least I do...so what?

I'll ride with ya! I have fallen over standing there on my bike before.... It was a hoot!

I'll ride with you. I suggest you check your forks for correct comp/rebound as well as oil level, damping, etc. A stick like that should not make you go down.

Maybe a good steering damper? I'm sure that's a big part of it. If I had to worry about falling at a slick stick like that, riding would begin to scare me. Invest in a damper for your bike and you won't ever worry about a slick stick like that ever again.

I certainly wouldn't ride with you. You have a camera to capture for all of eternity my mistakes. Well, maybe if you lead and don't point that camera backwards.

What kind of helmet cam is that?

You're killing me!

The bullet cam is a typical Sony 480 line job sold all over. It is connected inside my backpack to a 10 year old Sony HandyCam Digital8. I guess I could take some pics of the whole mess and post it up...but a set-up like mine can be easily seen at any number of websites selling helmet cams.

I'll do it if a bunch of you say so... I am a little afraid somepro might start telling me what I should have bought or how I should have connected it

That was probably the best video quality I've seen posted on this site so far. Even the crash didn't have static artifacts and that was quite a rude jolt!

Flying "dubyah"
Even *invisible* sticks sometimes drop me on ma arse!

Hey can you put a better silencer on your bike? I couldn't hear the Newsboys track!!!

Newsboys weren't on this clip!!

But I did pick up some packing Sunday as my bike blew a 97db at the race. 99 was the limit so I was 'afeared' for myself!

Speaking of Newsboys, they are on the Trask at Rush Hour (aka PNW Sampler 1). There's something about the two songs I picked that make me want to watch the clip over and over again (of course, the clip on computer since the quality is so much better). Went to their concert in Salem last month. It was awesome.

1) As soon as I saw you turn that wheel the instant you hit the log I knew what was coming.
2) I never heard the bike come on pipe.

Hah, I've done that before! We were riding up on the mountain and snow was covering some of the trail. There was this small (and I mean SMALL) hill we had to climb, it wouldn't have been bad had there A. not be snow on it and B. not been trees at weird angles across the trail. First time I went the slick log caught my tire and I did "the flying W" over the handle bars. My buddies laughed. Second time around I did the same thing. Finally third go around I made it. I'm so glad no one had a camera!

There are some trails I would love to have a helmet camera one, one in particular is exactly like that Hatfield and McCoy video. It' INTENSE.

1) Were is the KDX?
2) How big was that stick, 3"?
