Real Urban XC ~Video~

Here is the video from my Wissahickon Valley Park / Belmont Plateau ride
on Sunday. This is what urban cross country is, not some heated indoor
Cuyahoga County skate park. It was cold, too. That's why you have a
mountain bike. You can ride it almost anyhwere and just about every
city has a park with some riding. Wissahickon is smack dab in the
middle of West Philadelphia and North Philadelphia. You want more
urban, then you'll have to ride streets and sell crack. You make it the
best it can be, outdoors!

You're right you can ride a mountain bike anywhere, on mountains, in local
parks for a quick fix, along canal towpaths for a gentle ride, and in
purpose built parks if you want, who the hell cares its all riding.

I'm trying to figure out why the video quality is so low, and the file size
is ungodly high. Have you tried using DivX, or cutting down the audio
bitrate to 32K while bumping up the video bitrate?

I am working on different combos as we speak. Part of the problem is
the helmet cam. My neck isn't as strong as PF's. I can't support a
full blown camera on my head.

Samsungs extreme camcorder could be the answer.

April?! What does it use to "hook" onto the helmet. It's got my
attention and the price is right.
