Beautiful riding area. Looks like a different planet compared to where I ride. Areas like that here will destroy a tire in an afternoon of riding. :-D Very cool videos. I notice alot of wind noise, does your camera have a way to minimize that? The new hd gopro eliminates wind sound. I have seen guys tape the mic off to help. Very cool. Chasing someone really helps show speeds and terrain contours better. I also know its waaaaay more rough than it appears, and you are going twice as fast as it may look. Really neat. I could watch vidoes like that all day, if I didn't need to get so many things done around here. Is that a Stewart motor or Service Honda or what? Sounds pretty familiar...

Oy!
Got to hand it to you Bro... You are one tough Trooper... More Like Rooster Cogburn than KX Pegger! :-D
Like HC#42 , Every time I start watching you all's vids I want to get out and burn some Pre-Mix!
I hope the other guys appreciate what it takes to get the equipment, set it all up, and then edit and post. Heck I rarely even take a camera let alone a recorder, (Well the kids broke the last one) and then have a fit just trying to get pictures posted! :oops:
Oh Well,
Like the old Sergent on Hill St. Blues used to say.." Hey... Be careful out there..."

On average about 5 rides on a rear and if I want to burn it down to the carcass 7 or 8! The Contour has a gain setting for the audio through software. I have it maxed out right now...maybe I need to turn it down some? In the last video I was up and down in 4th and 5th mostly between 1/2 and 3/4 throttle trying not to get wadded up in Rob's dust trail and start flying blind again. I've got 14/47 gearing so I figure we're visiting 70 MPH+. You're right that the video camera does not translate to the viewer. We were moving along pretty good and the camera makes it look like a freeway and that wash is anything but! Stock Service Honda 2004 motor.
