Nevada KX500AF

kxpegger:
Not the most exciting videos. I had a high speed get off a couple of months ago and destroyed my VholdR helmet cam. The main injuries where two broken ribs and a punctured lung. I was back on my smaller bikes after a month and just now got back on my 500AF. These videos are mainly a test run of my new camera.

Looks like a nice day of riding. Which camara are you using. Seems to be very nice quality.

VholdR Contour 1080P. Those vids were 1080P at 30fps. I'm going to try 720p at 60 fps for the next ones. I think the higher frame rate may be better for action videos even though it's lower HD resolution.

Friar-Tuck:
 Yikes! Peg,
Sorry about those ribs & Lung.. I apologize if you mentioned it and I forgot.
  I know those ribs were a real Buggar... It hurt just pass gas.. :oops:..
How the heck did you make it back to the truck? 
  I'm Glad to hear your back at it!

Thanks Friar-Tuck!

I had my riding partner Rob who got my truck to within about 1/4 mile. I only had two choices... helicopter ride or walk out of the desert a 1/4 mile. Took me about 45 minutes to walk out and get to the truck on one lung. Spent one day in the ER and four days at a trauma ward in another hospital. Slept in my recliner at home for about two weeks. Was I glad when I could finally get back in bed!

Broke a rule I have about following to close in the dust trail trying to get some video. Flying blind about 45-50 mph when I clipped a fallen Joshua tree on the edge of the trail. As fast as I was going I think I got off easy! I was back on my RMZ450 within a month but just got back on the KX500AF a couple of weekends ago.

Shoulder is still loose and snaps and pops a little but overall I have healed up pretty well.

Thanks again Friar!
