Thanks for the fix! Looks like a wonderful place to have a track.

Any idea on what camera shot that? The image is very clear.

probably a go pro.

Quality is incredible considering how simple the camera is.

That looks great in comparison to some of the other clips I have seen.

There's something weird about that video. Is the camera supposed to be attached to the helmet? (Is that even a helmet?) Whatever it is, it never really gimbals. Side to side or up and down. The orientation of the helmet never changes relative to the horizon. Not to mention there is very little jarring or shaking. Really strange to watch it. Makes me wonder how it was shot.

It's mounted to his helmet on the side. If you look at his shadow on the ground you can see it.

Most people's head stays fairly horizantal to ground while riding, it's your body's self correcting nature to stay "level". Notice his head does jar quite a bit.

If you every watched the carmichael helmet cams or some other top pro's their heads stay amazingly still. Maybe that's something to learn from!

I still think it is unnaturally still. Especially the lack of *any*, and I mean ANY, "look up/look down/look left/look right" head motion. I know when I ride, I'm swiveling my head to look ahead through turns to the next apex, ducking roost, waving at the wife, sneezing, whatever etc. This guy's head never does deviate from just straight ahead, level to the horizon. All while the bike is dancing around under him. Even leaned over into berms.


I don't care. Just sayin. Once you notice it, it's hard to ignore.

I posted that at MT, pretty sure he used a Go Pro. Ryan hauls at that track (well, everywhere actually). Pine Ridge is moto heaven when it is groomed - see pic below.

I disagree with the "unaturaly still" comment. Watch it again and look at the very top edge of the film. He is actually bobbing his head a normal amount. Great video nice track, Thanks
