LETS SEE YOUR RIDE FOOTAGE

An Icy morning this day so I opted to stick to the relative safety of a trail centre rather than somewhere more "natural"

Haven’t uploaded a YouTube video in forever. Little overcast super windy day in Hawaii. Nothing major on the amflow

 

[Cleggy]

That Hawaii dirt looks primo

Was the video super blurry on your end? It looks fine when I’m on YouTube app, but when I click the link it’s terrible quality haha. Idk how to work YouTube anymore.

 

[Cleggy]

Not blurry at all @Brawwp maybe you viewed it too soon? YT only offers up very low res video until they have processed it for all resolutions, thats why I upload as private and then make them public when YouTube has finished

A window of a few weeks to get the mimosas out in flower, weather has not been cooperating so pretty slick conditions with poor lighting... oh well

That looked proper trickey once you got in the woods!

 

[Cleggy]

That one where I surprised myself

 

[Cleggy]

I started tense and slow, unable to ride but ended with a new PB even though it was winter slop!

 

[Nomadic Dad]

Trail centres get a bad rep sometimes but in this video I actually really enjoyed trying to ride my local one at Hamsterley Forest fast last week for the first time in ages.

Another edit from me about Winter Riding from last Sunday up at Golfie, Innerleithen

Quick clip from my demo ride on Orbea's Wild at Phoenix Mountain Preserve. I don't think mud is even possible here. There's no soil! Still working on dialing in the camera. Not completely happy with it yet; and that isn't even considering the aiming issues here. Another ride or two and it'll be dialed. It's a process!

 

[Cleggy]

Some trail centre crap, even on an ebike it's a pedally slog, at least there are some decent views

 

[VWsurfbum]

One from last night, and yes, I crashed!

Yeah the brightness is too much and pointing too low. Once you find the right angle. Paint the bracket with a couple of stripes.

Exactly. Been slowly backing down how brightly im capturing footage. Needs more. I like using the FOV Boost lens on my Action6 so that means I can’t use an ND filter.
Also didn’t realize I bumped the camera down so I used a center punch to provide an alignment aid like a set of iron gun sights.

I havent bought the boost lense, not sure i'm going to gain much? I usually use a chin/noose mount.

I have the boost lens on my OA5 and love it. It captures more, but I’m a rookie with action cams, and mostly use the auto settings. I scratched the lens on the crash at the end of this clip, so I probably need a new one.

I havent been able to ride much since breaking my hand, then having corrective carpal tunnel surgery. Im so ready and hopefully getting back out there this weekend!

Here is the video..

Was loving the commentary until .................ouchy

So I was only going to go out to help a buddy, do some simple little peddle turning, as always, it turns in to a fun carnage.

 

[Nomadic Dad]

Last one for me for a few weeks due to family commitments. Knocked an average of 6% off my PBs on 2 different trails at Golfie where the only change was swapping my rear tyre from 2.6 Magic Mary to a 2.5 DHR II

Blue skies and sun ! I've just returned from a 10 day visit back home to see the oldies (just North of Belfast), it literally pissed down for 9 of the 10 days and the last 3 days there, it hardly even got day light.
I lived there for 28yrs so should be used to it, just back ot Oz yesterday and the jet-lag is real.

Ah man this is the wettest winter ever, so depressing. It has been the wettest January in 149 years so when Spring hits it is going to be medicinal. That video is my local trail centre, nearly as flat as a pancake and just horrible, I'm only riding there because all the better locations are swamped from all this constant rain.

I checked it out when I watched the vid, Gosford... never ridden there. I did take a Singlespeed back a few years ago and rode Rostrevor as well as some of my old haunts, plan is to head back there at some stage in the foreseeable future, take a bike and ride a lot of the NI trail networks. I'll make sure its summer though.

Its definitely been bloody wet, hopefully a nice Spring on the way !

Gosford or basically any of our official trail centres are all a wasted opportunity, way too pedally even Rostrevor's official trails. That said Rostrevor has some real good challenging off-piste stuff.

I'm never sure what the deal is with gravel bikes and posting here, but I'll chance my arm it is OK?
A few days ago I bought a Specialized Creo 2 Comp as some e-gravel rather appealed to me with my previous background (pre-mtb) as a roadie.
I've pottered around sorting out the apps and connectivity etc with some short rides near the house then 2 days ago I did a little road, canal towpath, fireroads and just a bit of very gentle singletrack. Today I took it over to Tunnel Hill where I ride my e-mtb a lot and try a few more interesting trails.... conditions were pretty crappy, lots of standing water, mud and prett slippery. I'd noted that a lot of Youtube videos featuring the Creo are very heavily road/fireroad. This video is only very basic but I thoroughly enjoyed myself and the bike is very capable....

looks like you're going to be going through a lot of brake pads
do you ever ride on the drops?
I have a 'road' ebike I use to commute sometimes and I never use them..
