Kids you don't need the latest and greatest 4000 dollar bike to shred like a boss. get a bike and ride it. This guy was on an older big hit and destroyed the trail.

larryssman7 (Dec 17, 2012 at 19:02)

This was the best thing that happened to me all day. I know that sounds lame, but my life went -764 fun points after I broke my collarbone. Then I had surgery, and now I can't ride for too long. I know those first rides back on a bike are going to be oh so sweet, and I cant wait for them. Also this video was great, I loved the riding and the fact that he broke his collarbone and can still shred gives me hope. Thank you for it!

Hotrod4989 (Dec 17, 2012 at 16:19)

Ok well i got a 2004 trek diesel that weighs 49.6 pounds and I shred the crap out of the trails but unfortunately I just broke the frame on it so now I am going to try to get a $6,000 bike to replace it so I can rip the trails even harder ! but I will probably end up with a used $6,000 that is now $2,000 or less bike but that's perfectly fine with me because its not the ride its the rider!

Just wait till he gets used to his augmented collar bone.. Then the only way to film him will be in a slo-mo!

Not a lot of people out there knows how to handle Old Specialized Big Hit, I agree I was rubbish that's why I have sold mine. Its so good to see some good old bikes on these kind of videos. Nice one.

Spicy-Mike (Dec 17, 2012 at 18:09)

Sick video. Nice to see more gopro chesty footage (imo the best) and love the way it looks/edited, but you gotta secure it better! It might be a little uncomfortable but get those straps all the way down and put a piece of tilted foam on the back which absorbs crazy amounts of small chatter vibration. Also, hanging the Gopro upside down allows for better angles (options -> upside down mode, or in program).

+ 1

miki-ck (Dec 17, 2012 at 23:20)

Thanks for a tip Mike. The problem was, I borrowed the GoPro just for one day and didn't have the original chest mount so had to quickly improvise with a head strap, two different mounts and some foam Wink

As you can see, the final result is far from perfect...
Hopefully, I'll have a proper chest mount to take some better footage next time Smile

Spicy-Mike (Dec 17, 2012 at 23:27)

Ah by all means, the footage was really good. The editing effect on it was really cool too, wasn't the normal "gopro" filter and instead seemed really smooth. But, some shakiness is good especially for certain scenes, gives the effect of hauling ass, which you were btw haha.

And I'm not judging, was a great video either way. Just wanted to share a tip! Definitely looking forward to more videos.
