As video becomes more mainstream for recreational riders, the need for high quality helmet cameras…
So…Andrew Waldron shot me an email with a link to his Vimeo account that contained some must see sequences of the Fontana downhill and dual slalom events. 10 seconds into the first vid…I knew I was going to have to share these with you guys. I will contain myself from sapping up this post with words so you can get onto these amazing sequences.
As much as we all love watching videos like Seasons, there is something about watching friends rip the local trails on videos that make them that much better. Chad Oliver has been playing with the MTB by 198 GoPro Wide Angle for awhile now and is starting to get creative with multiple camera angles.
Now it is easy to capture mountain bike components in action. The web is the only media that can bring you video of your favorite parts instantly for your viewing pleasure. While the GoPro Hero may not have the best video quality for product use through tv or other resources, it is perfectly setup for web use.
Mountain Biking by 198 is pleased to announce a new reviewer to the MTB by 198 staff….Chad Oliver. Chad has been riding for over a decade in the Boone, North Carolina region and now resides in North Georgia. He is constantly on the lookout for super tech riding that challenges his “no dab” style.
In this video done by Hutchinson, they feature their urban tires in a very artistic manner. I am an ex post production video editor out of Atlanta, so I know how much time and energy this video took. There is very specific story-boarding and a long shooting process to output a short video like this.
Ok…It is always funny to watch other riders eat it on their bikes. I even enjoy watching footage of myself doing it. What is it about watching other peoples pain that is funny every time?! I found this video on youtube.com last night and I had to share it for this weeks Tuesday video installment.
I have seen this once before and I always find it intriguing. Markus Stockl does 210.4 km/h on an Intense in the snow to break the mountain biking speed record. I can’t even imagine going 130.736499 mph on a bike. That is insane and you have to be insane to do it! My hat is off to Markus…that is one hell of a feat.
I was doing some searching around Vimeo.com the other day and found this one. It has some great amateur video footage of northern California’s West Shore singletrack. It really makes me wish that we had more of these kinds of trails locally.
