Neg prop me if you want, but I think the music ruined what would have been an otherwise good vid. Frown

ianjanalex (Jun 20, 2009 at 2:11)

I turned it off. Way better to watch it.

what you pussys dont like metal!!!

bunkey (Jun 20, 2009 at 3:46)

i went off system quite a while ago, but tankian and malakien's vocal harmonies in the first chorus still give me chills!

Finger cramp at 180? i HATE that =\

good vid but hated how his head didnt seem to move at all

bunkey (Jun 20, 2009 at 4:50)

^^^ the camera was attatched to his helmet

face-plant-king (Jun 20, 2009 at 4:51)

infront of the peak ? pointing towards him?

bunkey (Jun 20, 2009 at 4:56)

yup

proxx (Jun 20, 2009 at 6:15)

face-plant-king... if not then how?

face-plant-king (Jun 20, 2009 at 6:22) (Below Threshold) show comment

well could be some one infront of him with the cam on pointing to wards the rider.

luckxc (Jun 20, 2009 at 6:29)

that doesn't explain why his head doesn't move.. it's attached to his helmet. No doubt.

pinityoufairy (Jun 20, 2009 at 6:47)

yeah it's on a little stick poking out the front of the visor

crowe (Jun 20, 2009 at 7:49)

i think they called it the unicorn cam. it would probably be a pain to ride with, but it made for a cool angle. as far as the music, i've never really cared for system but i don't think it ruined the vid at all. could have been worse.

fallen55 (Jun 20, 2009 at 9:00)

suck to hit a tree with it, definitly wouldnt be good for your neck

darleydirtbiker (Jun 20, 2009 at 11:07)

stumpy-2008 (Jun 23, 2009 at 15:15)

"Face plant king" i know him he is a little freak and he has not got clue what he is talking about lol

d-bax (Jun 23, 2009 at 15:16)

face-plant-king (Jun 24, 2009 at 2:58)

stumpy i know more about photgraphy then you so you can shut it and stop calling me a freak!

bunkey (Jun 24, 2009 at 3:58)

since when was photography a topic of conversation? stumpy is trolling, just ignore him and he'll go away or get banned or mugged or something.

or any toher teck or flowy trail

crowe (Jun 20, 2009 at 7:53)

i love it when the camera is mounted to the frame. i like seeing the suspension workin'. it really gives you an idea of how rough the trail is.

Coburn (Jun 20, 2009 at 0:48)

just a good use of different camera angles!!!!!!!!!!

SuperRoss (Jun 20, 2009 at 6:01)

One request for the next videos: Please use some music that doesn't stuck so much.

sorbet (Jun 20, 2009 at 12:54)

One request for next comment: Please re-read your comment. Suck not stuck... Everyone has personal opinion on music... Live with it.

kqmtb2006 (Jun 20, 2009 at 8:20)

metalhead99 (Jun 20, 2009 at 23:44)

I can't say I'm a fan of theirs either. I'm a bit of a metal elitist though so don't listen to me haha.

kylemciver (Jun 20, 2009 at 8:43)

Wicked job, and I thought the tunes actually went pretty good with it........maybe time for some Codes to save your fingers?

M0nKeY (Jun 20, 2009 at 11:44)

Where did you put the cam so it could see the front of the guy?

lucas-tilston (Jun 21, 2009 at 3:50)

it was a unicorn cam on his helmet, so it was kinda on a rode stickin out the top of his helmet

[Reply]

d-bax (Jun 20, 2009 at 12:21)

sick vid, but a really gay song. that guy sounded like he was getting dildoed up the butt while he was singing

bigburd (Jun 20, 2009 at 14:30)

familiar sound?

d-bax (Jun 20, 2009 at 15:44)

hahah no i just hate system of a down's voice. he sounds like a whiny bitch. but just my opinion

[Reply]

osseus (Jun 20, 2009 at 13:07)

OMG i hated the camera in that, wood hav been such a better vid if the camera was facing forwards, great song

Th3Fr33r1d3r (Jun 20, 2009 at 13:21)

Like every other helmet cam vid in existence? STRONGLY disagree. The angles made this movie.

[Reply]

joshwales (Jun 20, 2009 at 13:15)

i used a unicorn cam to get the angle facing me. its just a piece of wood with a camera on the end of it(thats y my head doesn'tseem to move). feels really wierd at the begging but after a few runs its not to bad.

may aswell ask u guys dont seem to like the music. any recomendations for a 6minute 20 sec track???

rs-pitch (Jun 20, 2009 at 13:43)

Split the vid in two by using something in between. Then you can use two good songs, instead of one looong one which might be kinda shit. Salute

What bike were you riding?

brodieclan (Jun 20, 2009 at 15:23)

That video was really, really long. Nice riding, "I miss whistler". You should be playing better music, not something so boring and depressing.

makripper (Jun 20, 2009 at 15:34)

i didn't like any of those stupid angles. it was just irritating. I thought this was going to be something original...

[Reply]

mxnate (Jun 20, 2009 at 16:02) (Below Threshold) show comment

what a waste of footage, those camera angles blew. The angles were so bad that the trail was almost lost completely. I kept thinking that this type of filming would only be good for Porn, but thats it.
Ps: Let me know if you shoot some Porn.

lucas-tilston (Jun 21, 2009 at 3:52)

grow up

timmy00 (Jun 21, 2009 at 14:15)

grow up, shut up or make something better than this video. You have only bikes photos in your album...

mxnate (Jun 21, 2009 at 14:31)

What's your hurry to grow up, I can guarentee it's over rated. (much like this vid)

[Reply]

dwetzel (Jun 20, 2009 at 17:22)

Very cool! Really liked the front fork view. Also the rear view was cool. Props for trying some new stuff out. Look forward to seeing future vids.

[Reply]

Polar4000 (Jun 22, 2009 at 23:01)

That was pretty sweet. The camera on the head really looked like one of those recordings from a computer game like Battlefield or something.

bingal (Jun 22, 2009 at 23:35)

So glad i just found this! I've seen him with that cam mounted way out on his helmet a few times the last week or two! Looks ace!
