Where in the world is the camera located? It's almost as if a little drone is right beside you - haha. And I think that marmot got the scare of its life when it darted out in front of you. Shocked you too, eh?Bike park fun with a 22 Santa Cruz Heckler MX
I have a gopro 9 mounted on the handlebar of my Turbo Levo. There's a mountain close to where I live, named Mt Conkle, which I really enjoy riding. Lots of single track, and lots of options for climbing or descending for those who want to challenge themselves or those who have a more sedate riding style (that's me - I'm old). I usually do the climb to the top on "Full Frontal" and come down on "Conkle Bonk". Video I'm presenting here is done in the gopro "time lapse" mode, just because I like experimenting with my camera to see what the results are. In short, time lapse mode is not something I'll do again, on single track trails. Watching the video I realized I was starting to get dizzy. I don't know whether my eyes can't focus on anything long enough, and my brain can't process the images fast enough, but it may just be me. So you've been warned. However, cycling the trails in the South Okanagan this time of year can be magical, especially this year due to the inconsistent weather we've experienced in the past month when we've rec'd more rainfall and cooler temperatures than "normal" - much more vibrant colours and abundant growth.
I don't know how much you are paying the person to run beside you but its not enough for the amount of effort and heavy breathing he is putting out to keep up to you! It looks like you might need a bigger bike tho.Bike park fun with a 22 Santa Cruz Heckler MX
They're aware of the issues. Should be sorted soon.Im back After a few weeks of shitness ( injured shoulder then Covid ) i got my ass out the door and on the bike for a little ride ( 18 miler ) very warm but needed to go.
Gopro quick is literally unusable at the moment as it just fails at 80-90% process when trying to save to phone / export to youtube the only way around it is to save the edit in app and then screen record the edit
Dont think i will be renewing that sub in the future.
They say this every update !! still no nearer to fixing it lol.They're aware of the issues. Should be sorted soon.
Looks good to me @BAMBAMODAClean run. Just gotta get some style like the kids.
haha, i was going to say that fear creeps in with age !! im 44 now and constantly thinking of the what ifs but in my younger years it was never a thought as i could do ANYTHING without consequences i look at some lines and jump possibilities on my rides and still think yeah thats easy !! until i get to that point and bottle it nowadays lol.Thanks man. Big jumps are so fun. But, at some point I need to find a safer hobby. I wonder at what age I’ll start being more safe. Early 40s sure don’t feel close. Except for how my body feels.
Maybe I should pick up the Olympic ‘sport’ curling.
Loving the steel city line at Grenoside
So much to learn though. Gaps, doubles, shark fins, super large tables. So smooth & fast running, we’ll definitely be back again soon, can’t wait for DH3 to open
Pffffft !! yeah theres always someone faster etc but EF that Your footage is bang on bud seeing a track i might do one day from an experienced but not pro rider perspective is way more valuable in my eyes and in all honesty its not like you were snail pacing yourselves, you did it justice i think.This is how it’s meant to be ridden

Is this you? Sweet skills!! Looks like you have that trail dialed
Haha no sorry, wish it was, got a few years of practice to go yet
Sweet yeah not too far from Sheffield in the car so will note this for future. Thanks @Tubby GHeh Slym. Thanks for the kind words. Just to let you know we went to Lady Cannings Plantation today on the outskirts of Sheffield and the ‘Blue Steel’ trail is definitely one I’d recommend for progression with speed, flow, pumping, small jumps etc. Easy to session too as the climb back to the top is only a short ride through the woods, easy on an emtb
There is another trail there too, ‘Cooking on Gas’ which is still fun, but more rocky with less flow
Don’t know how far you are from Sheffield and the Peaks but now you’re mobile with your bike rack I thought it’s worth mentioning these places to you
I used to fly paragliders off Mam Tor, imagine the views from 2000 feet.
That'll be Olu Deniz? Beautiful spot. The mountain there is so high & close to the sea that it's used heavily for SIV (instability recovery) training, so you'll see people stalling, spinning & generally falling out of the sky. Don't be put off, they're paying for the pleasure!Hopefully getting some paragliding done in Turkey in September (if the flights aren’t cancelled!) I’ll take the GoPro
