Nice, only done some night riding there.
It's fun if you're in the neighborhood, but not worth going out of your way for. I bet Rocky Top is a better place to ride mostly.
Rocky Top is pretty good but Konnowac is betterer for rugged trail fun. SP is cool, better than nothing and not as far as Echo.
No snow or ice in Pisgah. Just sayin...Oh look, a couch. Laid the bike down on some ice, at the top of a little chute. Good thing, or else I would have plowed right into a downed tree at hip level at the bottom...
Playing with a Hero5 Session mounted under helmet visor AND making the best impression of Darth Vader at the same time.
Basically the setup looks like this:

What settings did you use? That seems pretty stable actually for being on your helmet. I think I still like videos best when they show some of the handlebars.Playing with a Hero5 Session mounted under helmet visor AND making the best impression of Darth Vader at the same time.

720p 60fps superview. Apparently the S5 has some digital image stabilization built-in, I can turn it off in the menu.
It looks like YT likes it better when converted to 30fps.
Wife's dance team had a comp down in the OC, so I hit up Crystal Cover over the weekend, place is fucking fun!
It took me a long time to figure out what video modes work best. My favorite video mode to shoot riding is 2.7K Super View, 30fps. Shooting in 2.7K Super means you can crop the frame to 1080 if you want or leave it super wide. The Linear setting in 2.7K is also really nice for non-riding shots or for riding shots where you need a narrow angle.
There's no reason to shoot in less than 1080 unless you want super slow mo options. I just leave the stabilization on all the time unless there's a specific reason I don't need it, it actually works pretty good.
Thank you for the tips. I am assuming you use some advanced post-processing software? As effing microsoft removed the Movie Maker from Win10, I only have access to the GoPro Quick abomination.
I have an older pirated
version of Adobe Premier. There are free options that would probably be better than Quick. That shit is a headache, I watched my girlfriend use it and cried inside.https://blog.hubspot.com/marketing/video-editing-software
Movie Maker kind of sucks, but you can still install it on Windows 10 if you can find the install file for Windows Essentials.

I have the offline installer if you really want it. Its about 130mb.
The lizards were observing DH practice
I'll give you one guessThat bike is missing something.
Thank you for the help! That link is down now, but someone posted a link to a wayback machine with the original download so I am downloading it now. It Looks like it is about 130MB big.Movie Maker kind of sucks, but you can still install it on Windows 10 if you can find the install file for Windows Essentials.

Juicy Bacon at Dryer?
I haven't trashed the HR2EXO on the first ride so that is a plus. Kinda like this petit tire.
Found this after stopping to clear dog shit off the trail that was most likely left by a passive aggressive hiker with a dog who thinks only they should be on the trails, despite the fact that the trails were built for and maintained by mountain bikers. I've found enough poops recently to know it's probably one jerk responsible for this. But I digress...
