 well could be some one infront of him with the cam on pointing to wards the rider.

 that doesn't explain why his head doesn't move.. it's attached to his helmet. No doubt.

 yeah it's on a little stick poking out the front of the visor

 i think they called it the unicorn cam. it would probably be a pain to ride with, but it made for a cool angle. as far as the music, i've never really cared for system but i don't think it ruined the vid at all. could have been worse.

 Very cool! Really liked the front fork view. Also the rear view was cool. Props for trying some new stuff out. Look forward to seeing future vids.

 Thanks for the feedback guys, we'll try something different with the music next time. Look out for some more footage of the tech tracks and Garbo coming soon! Thanks, www.dhpengland.com

 i used a unicorn cam to get the angle facing me. its just a piece of wood with a camera on the end of it(thats y my head doesn'tseem to move). feels really wierd at the begging but after a few runs its not to bad.

may aswell ask u guys dont seem to like the music. any recomendations for a 6minute 20 sec track???

 Split the vid in two by using something in between. Then you can use two good songs, instead of one looong one which might be kinda shit. Salute

 just a good use of different camera angles!!!!!!!!!!

 I can't say I'm a fan of theirs either. I'm a bit of a metal elitist though so don't listen to me haha.

 quality vid, bet its hard to not stare at the helmet mounted cam instead of the trail

 One request for the next videos: Please use some music that doesn't stuck so much.
  • 4 3
 One request for next comment: Please re-read your comment. Suck not stuck... Everyone has personal opinion on music... Live with it.

 That was pretty sweet. The camera on the head really looked like one of those recordings from a computer game like Battlefield or something.

 i LOVE the fork cam, id be stoked to see a vid of that doing angry pirate, to crabapple, to aline, to GLC, all in fork cam. or any toher teck or flowy trail
  • 2 0
 i love it when the camera is mounted to the frame. i like seeing the suspension workin'. it really gives you an idea of how rough the trail is.
  • 3 3
 can't wait for the next one. if i were you, i would put heavier music on it. just to piss off all the people bitching about the music on this one!!

 That video was really, really long. Nice riding, "I miss whistler". You should be playing better music, not something so boring and depressing.
