St. Helens, Windy Ridge run video

Ok, not to sure how this video thing works, but here goes.. Did a run up to Mt. St. Helen's this last Tuesday, What a hoot, I did a Video going up 99 out to the Windy Ridge look out. the part I videoed is like the last 12-14 miles as I saw I had the mic out side the bag and the wind noise was awful, the route it self from the intersection of 25 is 19 miles Did this with some new video gear, so I'm pretty new to this video thing, but is a lot of fun, On TV it looks great, not so sure about this up load, seems to have lost some quality. but any way it's a large file like 100mbs and it's 15 minutes, no music, just an exhaust note. So if you have time, grab your favorite beverage, lean back, take a look. Was a lot of fun. Oh any one know how I can up load it direct to this site? it's not as clear as uploading photos or did I miss something?

Nice video, someday I'm going to have to invest in some video gear.
Passing on double yellows though:tsk: (just kidding, I'd have been right behind you:biggrin: ) They have fits about such things down in "Dragon" land.
I'm assuming you weren't using a helmet cam(saw you take the helmet off), how & where does the camera mount?

 

Thanks, actually it was mounted on the left side visor level on the helmet.. camera is tucked away in the tank bag, thats all the fiddling there at the beginning as you have to hit the record button then tuck it out of harms way, same thing for turning it off too, thats until I get a Lanc remote switch, then it will be a push button to start and stop with out all the fumbling.. As far as taking the helmet off, LOL that was almost tricky, as it doesn't let you get very far off the bike Was wondering if anyone would catch that pass on a double yellow in a curve thing is you can see way up through the turn so it isn't all that bad, besides I had a good line going, wasn't about to blow it by hitting the brakes.

 

great video..What camera are you using?

 

Thanks for sharing! For those of us that live in the opposite corner of the US and still have small children to keep us from hitting the road for extended periods, you've allowed us to live vicariously through you for a moment.

 

It's just a Sony Handy cam HC96 attached with a 580ccd bullet cam to the side of the helmet.
