Here's the link to Bloodweisers film festival vids I mentioned today. I really like his style - I think a lot of it is the music, it seems to catch the esence of riding. It's funny catching yourself halfway thru & realising you're just watching a wheel spin or suspension fork go up or down.

Even the music to that one is a proper 5 finger family on the porch Nelson tune. All it was missing was someone blowing into whisky bottles.

Good stuff.....You got the good, the bad and some of the ugly there.....
The KTM did well, I take it? Colin was happy, but sore...:yes:
Would a lates 80's bike - tt600 make it around there? Was there any Fran?
Cheers for the experience of the Top of the South on Vid, you had good weather....Would have been murder in the rain mate, especially that climb...:shit:

A late 70's bike would have been sweet.
You just needed good knobblies.

There was a TT350 racing. The 3rd bike up the hill after the guy walks up and before Javahead's stuck shot.

WHo was in the soundtrack? You really should credit them at the end so we can check them out.:yes:

Shadows - The rise and fall of fingle bunt.
Transvision Vamp - Crash.
Yello - Oh Yeah.
Manowar - Death of the Bumblebee.

The KTM did well, I take it? Colin was happy, but sore...:yes:
Would a lates 80's bike - tt600 make it around there? Was there any Fran?
Cheers for the experience of the Top of the South on Vid, you had good weather....Would have been murder in the rain mate, especially that climb...:shit:
The 640 did quite well! I am no worse for wear than I'd be racing the 200, as I was putting the same effort in. You can get the 640 around the track as well as the 200, but for the same effort you aren't going as fast... mostly! On the more open gravel it was peaking at 6500-7000rpm in top which is about 140km/h. But definitely slower in the tricky stuff as it takes a lot more effort to control it; unlike the 200 once it gets away from you there's no coming back, it's bail off time. I do have a nice tennis ball sized bruise on my bicep from a rock hurled by another bike.

My theory on the wide front rim being an issue was confirmed. The OEM 2.15" smashes all the side knobs off the tyre in short order if the bike is used with any modicum of aggression. I ran the 1.6" off the EXC for the first time, for nearly 4 hours and not gently either, and all the knobs are still in place :Punk:

The rain would've made Hurricane Hill much more difficult, but the other climbs up/down were quite damp already. Heck even some of the flat sections were very greasy. A new, grippier rear tyre would have helped; I used a worn all-rounder, a Pirelli Scorpion MX eXTra. The front S12 was hanging on very very well.

I got stuck on a slight but greasy hill early on, Fran got the photo of me coming back down. The second and third laps I got stuck on the hill Andrew did. Got going again on the 2nd or 3rd try, but man it's frustrating. Especially having to kick the bike with the front brake not able to hold the bike on the hill. Not having the jetting sorted after uncorking it on Friday night meant it was very stall-prone so I was stopped & kicking in all sorts of unexpected places.

Awesome, awesome fun! It's a step above pootling about on an adventure ride. :yes:

I tried glueing them to the screen but found the video editing program worked better.

I would have had more pics to choose from but my camera didn't like the low temp up over the top and wasn't fully charged to start with.
The 4th pic and it was flashing red and turned off.
Got going again once out of the cloud but never recovered properly.

Thanks for that Nordie - I have always wondered why in your vids every other bugger seems to fall off and you glide effortlessly through all types of gnarly shite - good to see a wee pine sapling finally got the better of you :woohoo:
I must admit the Shinko 705's probably weren't the best choice for that hill.

I was zig-zagging up the hill and having a go at those tight wheelie turns they do at romani-berg and that little twig before the sapling stalled the engine.
Looking back, my weight balance was all wrong, I was leaning on the inside of the turn as you would normally but that was not a normal turn. Even if I hadn't stalled, I don't think i would have made it.

I'm smooth, slow and gentle on the throttle.
Which is not ideal for racing but sweet for adventure riding :D

Good clarity and colour, copes with movement well, exposure changes don't faze it, nice flare shape from the open iris, mounts are solid, battery life is good (mo betterer with the BacPac), parts are cheap.

Wind noise is terrible above 40kph, lots of curvature at the outside 3rds, no zoom, can't hear the beeps with earplugs in, gotta keep remembering to wipe the lens free of dust etc.

I think it's a keeper :niceone:

3Gb/hr @ 720p 25fps means that with the battery BacPac, I'll get 5 hrs of footage and batteryage on a 16gb card.

The footage that I didn't like from it on youtube was usually too low and created a really distorted horizon. The Maunga ride wasn't that bad but I tipped it slightly forward for the Hori Bay bit and was enough to stuff it up but also enough to put the peak in the shot as well as a bit of the screen for interest...

Not really worth watching unless someone's falling off - give me a call next time:shutup:

Ah yes, there are reusable anti fog inserts you need to get if you suffer fogging of the go pro case.
They work fairly well from what I'm told.
I borrowed some on the Lees Valley ride and they helped. Haven't needed them since though. Got through Oxfords Icey Trail ride and last weekends CCC loop without fogging and without inserts.

Padmei did indeed add that little extra to the last videos from Nordie. Made me laugh a couple of times... in sympathy of course. :killingme

Got some anti-foggers on the way.

Mainly occurs when shooting into the sun for long enough to heat up the front of the lens.

Was chronic on my SDR-SW20. Which I'll have to sell now. 640x480 just doesn't cut it any more...

I spend about 5min having enough of a look around the skid site and the two below to know I wasn't going to get out that way then tried a couple of times to get up the hill but had to keep the vid below 15min so they were cut.
I turned the camera off when I came back down to the bike and forgot to turn it back on for my successful ride up :(

Then I went back to the other side of the water feature and then over to the Hill of Impossibility, the Trig of Desperation and over the side and down to the Wheelie Arena. Then back to the summit and then to Woodmans Folly overlooking Pepin Island where the Baja and friends were playing on the bank. Then got your txt and headed down to the Bay and met youse guys.

I over think things too so I ride very much within my limits which is not ideal for racing but great for adventuring.

That downhill at the end, the fast(er) guys (and girls) were taking 3-4 times faster than me. Gave me the shits each time and then you see someone come down as though it wasn't even worth the effort.

Let me put it into perspective.
I've never ridden down Linton Hill and I've seen 125 2-strokes being towed back with dead clutches from trying to get up it. I've never done it on the DR either.

The XLR and CT 125's didn't make it up Hurricane Hill even when the surface was good.

With the erosion it's all about line choice.

Of course I turned the engine off. I like hearing the birdies.
You've got to hang left and then cross over to the middle near the start of the second uphill bit, otherwise you're stuck in a rut...

Hurricane Hill before it was logged, where the clay base is in permanent shade, is the first one here and Linton Hill is the next big one...
They're quite similar but one has a gritty clay base and the other is bumpy rock and fine shale.
The bumpy rock bits play havoc with the rear of the DR. I tried 3 times when I made this vid...
Also has footage of NordieBro trying unsuccessfully to get up Mt Everest on several bikes. In the pissing rain at the end...

The difference with Hurricane Hill is that you expect to get up it. If your line choice is bad, it may take a few goes though.

I usually carry two batteries with me but for you more hardcore adventure types that do longer rides, over nighters or weekends, then they could be useful. Gopro ones are still about $45 ea.

Chest harness?
Not if you've got an adv type fairing and sit a lot.
Good if you keep whacking the helmet mounts on branches and crap though.

Intiminator valving?
Good landing from 3rd gear jumplets up the start of the Maungatapu.
Quite good over the rocky sections at speed too.
They seem to be more supple over multiple shocks than singles.
Nice and stable on the seal and under brakes into corners.

Didn't expect to see a whole chainsaw come out of that bag, even a little electric one was it?

Chest mounts, yep, like them but only works well on the CRF and DR650 when the windscreen is removed.
Tried it with the Transalp but again the windscreen replaces the view of the road surface with a blurry dusty smudge.

Ok 2 comments & a question:

-Re. the forgotten highway - Bugger them!
-When you were cutting the gorse away you missed a very cool cloud kinda whisk away.
-Were you doing a lil celebratory spinny dance on that mound?

Was a bit annoying there weren't more during the fast forward.

-Were you doing a lil celebratory spinny dance on that mound?

Lack of oxygen. It was a big mound...
