That rocks. Did you take that on your camera? If so how do you secure it while riding? I use the same camera and so far do all my video while holding it - which becomes a bit dicey when going down steep rocky trails.
The camera is just my Olympus Stylus tough 8000, handheld in the first part of the video. In the downhill stuff, I just taped it to a headlamp and stuck it on my forehead. It was kind of a spontaneous decision to even make that video. I had thrown a roll of packaging tape in my backpack for previous shipping purposes, and the headlamp was in there for earlier commuting. So when I was rifling through my bag looking for the camera, I came up with the video idea. In the past, I've stuck the camera in my goggles or held it on the handlebars. Definitely a ghetto setup.
Mike, I'll agree with you on that one. But if you do look closer at the video, you'll also notice I'm only going 4 mph. :-)
Awesome, Jill. Don't know if it's the song that made me extra happy (as I have a soft spot for the Killers), the snow, or your smiling mug and glove-free hands. Could also be that Ben does my taxes. Thank gawd for that.
Thank you Jill for both creating and posting this when you did. I just experienced my first bike accident as an adult and this was a scary experience for me as I'm still kinda new to biking. While I survived it pretty well all things considered, (just enough of a header to be thankful for a helmet and worry my husband) watching this helped me get back out there. Thank You!
That's pretty awesome-- of course, I work in an accounting office! :)
I loved your video. Don't forget to do your taxes... and remember: an extension is only to give you extra time to get the forms in, not extra time to pay. Stupid IRS.
i very much love your own writing taste, very useful. don't give up and keep penning because it simply just that is worth to look through it. excited to looked over a whole lot more of your posts, goodbye!
Thank you!

ReplyDeleteJill, a good pedal system and practice would go a long way in getting peak efficiency...check out the first few moments of that video for clues...
I think you need better bike fit and clipless pedal system with quality pedaling technique if you want to make the GD a race.

Wheeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee!
ReplyDeleteYay! I love this! I just totes went on a virtual bike ride!!
ReplyDeleteGorgeous! I want to be there.
ReplyDeleteI use a Gopro Cam on my helmet or on my handlebars and it's never that smooth. What's you setup?
