Title: Video of my ride last week at the Tail of the Dragon Post by: Artful on August 11, 2010, 05:39:50 PM Just got back from the Gap for our sixth annual ride. Just a quick video I slapped together, nothing special, but definitely a lot of fun. If you live within a 12 hour drive of TN, totally worth the trip.
I was pissed, the actually fast runs weren't shot because the camera kept skipping into timer mode instead of video, so the only runs I got were a warm up run and a low speed reverse angle. Add a little Cash and a slap together edit and this is what you get.

[evil] Thanks, it's a Fulmer V2 helmet with the matching shield. Absolutely useless after dark because of the super dark tint but great during the day. Obviously not as safe as a full face but it is nice not losing any peripheral vision. I wear it about half the time, my Scorpion full face the rest. Nice "hands free" shot there.... [laugh] The reverse angle run was actually in fairly heavy traffic, all the quicker parts were from hanging back a few turns and playing catch up. I was seriously bored from being behind a pair of cruisers that were taking their time and not letting anyone pass. I don't pass on that road so I figured I would have some fun. Rode half the downhill sections without touching a bar :D Title: Re: Video of my ride last week at the Tail of the Dragon Post by: Billyzoom on August 21, 2010, 05:19:29 AM Cool....reminds me of a lot of the mountain bikng videos I used to watch when I was into that.
And it may not be fast for you, but that would be VERY fast for me.

Title: Re: Video of my ride last week at the Tail of the Dragon Post by: Lor on August 21, 2010, 01:01:12 PM Thanks, it's a Fulmer V2 helmet with the matching shield. Absolutely useless after dark because of the super dark tint but great during the day. Obviously not as safe as a full face but it is nice not losing any peripheral vision. I wear it about half the time, my Scorpion full face the rest. That shield reminds of those creepy humans from the 1980 film "The Black Hole" only thing your missing is Maximilian. And who is that covering Cash? Title: Re: Video of my ride last week at the Tail of the Dragon Post by: kopfjäger on August 21, 2010, 02:00:25 PM And who is that covering Cash? Bouncing Souls from the album All Aboard Title: Re: Video of my ride last week at the Tail of the Dragon Post by: DukeDenver on August 21, 2010, 05:01:02 PM Bouncing Souls no one can beat us! We drink beer and wear Adidas! [drink] [laugh]
Title: Re: Video of my ride last week at the Tail of the Dragon Post by: Artful on August 22, 2010, 05:37:42 PM Correct, Man in Black is by Bouncing Souls (btw, all Aboard is an all together awesome album) and Ring of Fire is Social Distortion.
