 Looked fun to me! But, I prefer a lower mount for the camera as I felt a lil dizzy("couldu been the whisky, mighta been the beer") at times.

 The difference with champery is that it was pretty much dry throughout practice meaning he had much more experience in the wet than most when it came to finals, being a brit. It would be so sick if he can repeat something like that though!!
  • 2 0
 The other big difference is that Chamery is steep, wich he appreciates way more ! Look at all those uphill section, the finish...

 It seems that one of the hardest things to do on earth is point a helmet cam in the proper direction. Lotsa Peanut butter but the jam sucked ass.

 Its already an awesome vid but it would be 10x better if the helmet cam would be on top of his helmet instead of on the side.

 You can get it right when you use it attached to tour goggles strap though, 170° wide angle should be enough..maybe it was a little further back

 "This is not a real DH course".. oh please. Watch again. And again. And have a little humility people. 90% of us wouldn't even make it down without crying for our mummies.

 Agreed. But at the same time there is nothing wrong with people saying what kind of DH course they like watching the most.
  • 3 0
 Absolutely. I prefer watching racing on wider tracks with more line choices over what seems to me to be a narrow one in Cairns. MInd you...did you see Hannah's lines in the dry in February? Wild!!!! www.pinkbike.com/news/Video-Mick-Hannah-Cairns-World-Cup-Track-Preview.html

 Speak for yourself, nigga. Looks like a trail center 'red' route to me.

 90% of us wouldn't even make it down without crying for our mummies. - ahaha, I would stop at the top of the rockgarden and went home. My aesthetical sense of experience of riding a bike would never allow me to ride such track in such glopp ahahah. I'd go to my mummy and say that my clothes gets dirty Big Grin

 Hi mango, nice to meet you. It doesn't take much effort to be less abrasive and the benefits far outweigh the costs of choosing your words more carefully.

Everything seen through it looks incredibly 2005-ish...

 ENVE rim. Muddy tire. Off camber. Roots. Better set the camera a bit higher next time.

 Ah it was pretty good I thought for the upper part of the track, showed all the berms and the roots pretty well, got a feeling of the technicality of the track. Granted by the time that he started to move along the middle/lower sections there was the feeling that I was trying to look up the whole time.
