Whistler Bike Park has been open for a few weeks, so it's about time I post some POV with my new GoPro Hero 8. Here's a hot lap down Schleyer and Detroit Rock City. I was doing some testing on my new Specialized Demo ahead of race season so I couldn't talk too much. Let me know what you think!— Finn Iles
Finn-- you should really mount the GoPro at or under the chin, and keep hypersmooth at "on" instead of boost. Your runs will just look a lot faster (and more realistic), like this it's in the uncanny valley.
Can't comment on the camera settings, but I agree that the video was overly smoothed. That didn't really even look like a bike ride down a double black trail at Whistler.
I don't like this GoPro anti-shaking features . "Here is gets really rocky now..." - and video is still smooth and non-shaky as he was riding on asphalt.Not saying it should be unwatchable shaky - but this is extreme in the opposite direction, it takes all the "reality" feeling out of video...
“When I was a kid” is a perfectly valid statement considering he’s been riding Whistler since he was 10.

Good grief...
Really enjoying these POV runs! Keep them coming.
