poz Posted March 29, 2011 Share Posted March 29, 2011 Thought I'd splash out on a chest mount for my GoPro. I thought it was a bit pricey at £30, but anyway I tried it out on a local bike ride down to the coast yesterday. It's quite an interesting perspective: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4TRn7ZD8cN0 Cheers Dan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alan_k Posted March 29, 2011 Share Posted March 29, 2011 Take no prisoners Dan, not even grains of sand You cycle quickly, how much is the video speeded up? How long did the ride take? Interesting perspective, you'll have to develop a non-reciprocating pedaling motion to avoid the side to side movement, hmmm maybe not. Weather looks lovely, it's all damp here this week Cheers, Alan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Weather looks lovely, it's all damp here this week Cheers, Alan Hate sand in my shoes The ride took 2 hours. It was a regular ride for me when I was a fair bit fitter. Trouble is, you never feel yourself getting unfit, so when you have a break and then go back to it later, you think you can carry on from where you left off (if you know what I mean). The ride killed me at the end Video sped up 4x. Makes me look like a very fit, nutter on a bike Cheers Dan Edited March 29, 2011 by Guest Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hammertime Posted March 30, 2011 Share Posted March 30, 2011 I may be out there in the next couple of weeks. I don't suppose you know anyone that would hire a motor if I took my wing with me? Do PAP do anything like this seeing as they are down the road? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Looks like you'll have to drown your flightless sorrows at Victors Beach Bar Give us a shout if you manage to get out here.
