The sun is out, the winds are calm, I should be out riding. Instead I am recovering from the flu and inside writing part 2 of this series of posts. This post will focus on the better known action camera brands one at a time. Today we will show you what Drift Innovation has to offer. They offer a complete line of camera as well as accessories and have a pretty good following with many examples on YouTube, Vimeo, MTBR, PinkBike, etc.

Another ride video

I am trying to learn something new about ride videos and at the same time about Sony Vegas. There are too many options and you could likely overwhelm a viewer with transitions and wipes. The only thing done in this video is time compression in various spots between roads. As opposed to a mountain bike trail video, road cycling videos are rather mundane. With that in mind I used both of my cameras to do a picture in picture.

Over the next few posts I am going to talk a bit about video equipment and specifically what I am using on my bikes. Later on we can talk about video composition and editing. Right now, let’s talk cameras.

Thursday Morning Beatty Ride

I know I haven’t updated these pages in a long while but that is going to change. I will be playing with a few things, video is one of them and I have a couple of other things brewing, which I can’t reveal just yet. For now you will start seeing some ride videos and here is the first one.

The Morrow Mountain ride series had a fantastic send of this season with some gorgeous weather and a diverse turnout. About 120 riders from all over the Charlotte area came out for what was to be a great ride. One gentleman even came from Wilmington to ride MM!

It’s been a while

Too many things have been occupying my time to post on the blog, but I am going to try to fix that.

Been looking for employment, then riding, looking for employment, then riding, looking for employment, then riding. That has been the bulk of my summer.

Isn’t technology grand.

Last Wednesday, Nicole and I did another TT at Charlotte Motor Speedway. We did manage to break 30 minutes, unofficial time was 29:48. This was a good effort considering that Nicole twisted something in her back during the day and it caused quite a bit of discomfort the entire time. We still managed to finish last but that is OK. Maybe next month we can move up a bit. We are not last in the point standings but we need everyone in front of us to miss the last two events in order to move up in the standings.
