Video: Scenic Drive - Waitakere's - Auckland - 27min

[R6_kid:Me]

you turn really early in that video man, me and tristan usually go end to end from titirangi to swanson/ranui. I know there are about 3 dif road that come off the actual scenic drive called scenic drive so it must be a little confusing.

When i first read the post i was like HOLY FUCK!!! this guy does Scenic drive twice in 27mins!!! Usually takes 30mins end to end at a decent pace! Pretty decent riding for a newbie tho man, keep it up. Keep practicing your cornering and just building your confidence and you will be a good rider in no time.

Anyone can go fast in straight line, but you have to be good to go fast around corners!

Excellent spotting of the chicken!!!

Took me a little while to figure out where you mentioned that I'd stopped... In hind-sight, yeah, that was a kind of silly place to stop

As far as practice goes... the hard bit is remembering not to tense my arms when cornering! I almost always come out with rigid arms... not good.

It's the first time I've tried the camera on the bike, and at 50-60kmh the wind-noise wasn't nearly as bad. Next time I'll try to mount the mic to the outside of the backpack in the slipstream. That should reduce the wind-noise and still be close enough to hear the engine noise. Might throw a fluffy thing over the top too to help cut out any left over wind noise. Part of the problem is that those bikes are really quite quiet as well...

With pointing the camera up further, I think what I need to do is stick a dot on my visor (whiteboard marker) to let me know where the camera is pointing. If I point the camera up too far the white clouds tend to cause the camera to over adjust and everything else goes dark. But yeah, it could have done with pointing up just a little more.

And the google video was a waste of time too... no-go because of the music.

Thanks for the feedback... glad some of you got a few laughs
