It had just started to brighten up on the way to the refuge hut
The scenery looks amazing, difficult to see it yesterday with 50mph driving rain blasting in your face

We certainly were, it didn't dampen our spirtsWorks fine now Drew
Cheers !Great place only an hour from me , don’t know why we’ve never been before . There’s loads of different sized jump runs so perfect for your progression. Gotta admit my hands were trembling after the 1st big gap run

Sunday's ride at Roddlesworth, Jubilee Tower, Darwen Moor and the Witton Weavers Way...
Yesterday's ride at Gisburn Forest - two complete laps of The Eight, 23 miles, 2700ft, 1600kCals...
Cheers pal ! Yeah a nightmare , min 6 weeks out of action !
So, this is my very first attempt at action cam footage, putting together a video, and putting it online. Bought a GoPro Hero 3 years ago thinking I would get into this and never used it. A few weeks ago, thought I'd take it with me to Squamish and the footage was unusable (no image stabilization at all). As an impulse type buyer, bought an Insta360 One RS with the 4K Boost lens and took it with us last weekend.
Things I've learned so far:
The ride itself is a really fun place about an hour from my home in Maple Ridge, BC. It's known as Thornhill to the MTBers and Grant Hill to the hikers. Lots of dark blue intermediate and easier black. The trail is Thornstar. I have another ride that I am editing now that I may post up.
Edited with Shotcut ... comments about everything but my "dab" and the other couple of riding mistakes are welcome!
Things I've learned so far:
- I used the wrong resolution. This was shot at 2.7K/24fps because I was worried about SD card storage ... silly worry, I'll run out of battery before storage. Next ride will be at 4K to take full advantage of flowstate stabilization.
- I used a visor mount and it's not bad. I also shot some footage using a handlebar mount but it's not stable enough for my liking (hence the other reason the next ride will be 4k).
- GoPro (or Insta360) affect is real. The trail has an average 10.5° grade and that just doesn't come through.
- My voice is really jarring to me because it comes in so loud. I'll learn to play with that as I get better at editing.
- I wasn't riding at my best and normally I wouldn't put that online, but WTH, why not?

Hi Quinterly.
My only comment would be to switch to a chest mount. You get to see more of the bike and Trail and how the bike is moving around. From such a high viewpoint you lose that as your head remains steady and you aren't seeing your hands/bars that often.
Looks like a great place to ride though...

It's a fun place ... thanks, I am probably going to do that at some point. I already wear a hydrationpack when riding (not a particularly big one) so I'm not sure about the comfort of adding a chest mount harness.
That's what I read and why I used 2.7k, but (from what i can tell and this is new to me) this particular camera has some of the settings that only work on 4k/30 so I will have to play around.

Haha but you have a better bike attached to yours
My tube was cut too short so needed a super low stack and the Defy is just what i needed, didnt want a standard black so chose the silver. The Camo one is really nice but costs an extra arm and leg lol.I wear a Camelbak and GoPro chest mount with no issues.
Lovely footage, just about perfect.to compare with video above
rode big bike. Def faster and more stable at those speeds. Also I have to say that the maxxis max grip tires gripped a lot better than my schwalb super soft.
had to bump rear pressure to 30psi. was getting squirm with DH casing. 26 front held fine.
as always feel free to tell me how to do better
Riding..........................Meh
Some excerpts (8 mins) from my trip to Kirroughtree on the Black trail. This is someone trying to work out where the 'trail' goes when it is bare rock and you are trying to find little blue arrows on the rocks (which are worn and faded!)
Left in the two little mishaps! One leaving me with wet hands and one looking at a bush (not the right kind!).
