Video Ride of Angeles Crest in California

I took a very easy ride last weekend scrubbing in a new set of tyres with the GoPro in still camera mode. I wanted to post it for all those who haven't had a change to see or ride out here. They recently opened it up after a very large fire. 4 people have died since they opened up according to the nice State Trooper I spoke to http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bmDgqss4ijM

I like it...very creative video...you have way more patience than I do judging by how long you were behind that black Range Rover! Anf the CHP at the end...yuk! Bunch of usget together for ACH rides. I'm out of the beach cities. Maybe hook up at Shell station one of these weekends for a ride.

Thanks! I really wanted to pass the Range Rover . Rotor should arrive Friday or monday..... Then, with brakes we can meet up for sure. I actually road all they way to Big Pines, 53 miles each way on Hwy 2.

Nice! Will PM info to you.

Cool video man, I didn't even know about the still camera mode

Cheers,

Shakes,

Glad you liked it thanks.

Cool Video yourself!

Wipe out or download the manual...You can change the frequency of the pics from like 2, 8, 10, 15, 30, 60 seconds.. something like that. You will see a setting that says "P" and then 2 or 30.. so "P30" is a still every 30 seconds. I was doing 8 seconds and then switch to 2 seconds. That 4 minute video was about 700 pics.

Cool, thanks for the tips.
I really need to download the manual as this camera is really confusing for just having two buttons, haha...

I haven't tried the picture mode yet as I'm always using video but your vid inspies me to try it. Definitely going to give it a go next ride.

Nice work......how long was the copper tailing you for?

You Yanks know how to lay some bloody good tarmac.

HA, I love that road. I'm sure I'll take more stills and videos.

The copper. I hate to ruin the video BUUUUUUT he was pulled over talking to some racers on the side of the road. I don't have the balls to pass a cop on a double yellow. Its a nice image. What I love about stills mode is it takes a pic every so often. In this case it was every 2 seconds, kind of a happy accident.

Thanks for watching!
