[Serial Midget]

Going to do this ride with @Montana rider tomorrow, I've only ridden a third of it as an out and back in 2009 with a hard tail, I'm guessing a Giggle Pig will be more fun. Purchased new helmet mounts for the go pro so hopefully a good video opportunity will result.

I think I may need a new light mid weight jacket. My wind shells result in too much sweat.

Chest mount plus gimbal equals win. Helmet doesn't show hands or the wheel enough for context.

That is what I used yesterday... I stopped for many deer but missed them because I only turned my head. I guess deer are not why you video the trail...

I'm having a crappy time editing with the go pro ap. Time to Youtube it.

Which gimbal are you using? That was my one complaint with the video I made, though some of it could probably be remedied by aiming down a bit more.

I haven't bought a gimbal yet and returned my Hero 4 Session, too. Black Friday purchase of a Hero 5 Black plus the GoPro Grip gimbal (but probably not the Karma drone) is in the cards.

I did try to use the SuperView mode to get more tire in the picture but it still looked weird and floaty.

HBD.

Thank you in advance. Still some hours left before that in my timezone.

I would have NO problem with a pork chop sammy, @Montana rider has more class than I do so that may not happen...

Standard gimble pointed all the way down. I like your video better, not just because rocks.

EDIT - ups and downs are after about 2 minutes, first bit is a comfort bike trail.

That looks to me to just be a chest mount, no gimbal. Gimbal video always has a flat horizon.

Where at in Montana are you guys at?

Oh... I suck at gimbal...

Gimbals would be something like this

Yes, that looks nothing like the buckle clips I'm using... but now I have to have one and need to have actions extreme enough to warrant it... also took the latest purchase of go pro bits back. An actual gimbal looks like a lot of crap to carry around. Pretty sure my skills do not justify such technology.

tom kha, mussaman curry, and IPA for dinner. everything spicy but the beer.

just kicked off my yeast starter. looking like brewing is gonna happen once the kid is in bed.

As Montana rider will attest, I prefer Belgrade to Bozeman. Up for spin tomorrow?

I had leftover saag for lunch. It was really spicy. Should make tomorrow morning... entertaining... again.

If you see an image of a decent set up please post, the gimbal looks awkward for a chesty?

Deer hunting in the morning, lil man's b day Sunday, deer/elk hunting Monday, probably be in hyalite with lil man and the trailer Tuesday, then duck hunting Wednesday with a possible follow up for deer.

If you can't tell my freezer is currently running very low.

My shift is nights and weekends for at least the next six months, probably the next year. I just took this weekend off for a break from the fun.

Would love to get out and ride though when scheduling lines up, just getting back on two wheels after about two years. Major lung infection followed with a major work injury Les to me being lazy.

You can take Midge out of Butte, but you can't take the Butte out of Midge

Hey just because the air smells bad and the water is poisonous does not mean Butta is a bad place..... oh wait

That's why I'm psyched about the GoPro Grip one. The Feiyu Tech and other ones out there look like janky pieces of shit. The GoPro one looks sleek. I haz excite, at least when sales roll around.

The new fuzz pedal arrives in the afternoon mail. I'm just killing time until then.

Misty morning, clouds in the sky ...

How about this baby? A clone is arriving tomorrow.

Vet visit took longer than expected but I still rode this afternoon. After four days long hiatus, it hurt a little. New wheel feels good, new old HRII in the rear made the uphill pain a bit worse.

Wanted to ride in the light tonight, so it was path/road or nothing. Ending up finding some mud, even.

Strava says that I got 12th overall on a road segment. Lol wut. I didn't even pump my tires up...

 

[Serial Midget]

I has successfully performed my first rudimentary go pro edit. I decided the camera angle is too low. You can see one of the many deer that were up close and personal during the ride plus the one tree in all of great falls that forced me to shorten my bars. I don't think Spielberg has much to worry about from me.

Talk about firstworldproblems... I went to the weed shop today 'cause the wife's outta town and the kids are otherwise occupied... and the fucking LINE WAS TOO LONG. JHFCOAS - I can't be expected to wait in a line like that for a little ganj.

Friday night weed-fail.
