Aliso Woods RockIt April 9 ‘09 helmet cam take one
VideoThis is the first time I used my GoPro wide angle helmet camera. I was really happy with how easy it was to set up and then, ultimately the quality of the video itself. I just eye-balled the placement of the base mount and then set the camera to look straight ahead as in a perfectly horizontal line with my head in a normal position. I figured this placement would keep the camera from looking down too much.
In this segment I am riding the Rock-it trail in Aliso Woods, CA. This is one of my favorite trails to get out for a quick one. It’s also a pretty good place to tune the bike, having plenty of rocks and other variations to provide feedback to the bike. The bike I chose for this ride is my custom Yeti 4x with Fox suspension, Shimano drive train, and Maxxis HighRoller tires.
I tried to pin it for the whole run, but I did go off-line a bit in the main rock garden. That made my heart skip a couple of beats, but kept it plenty exciting.
This footage is unedited so please bear with it and enjoy.
