Pinyon Flats to Palm Springs ~VIDEO~
Howdy folks long time no post for me. Figure I would start the New
Year off with a fresh post here and a video Here is a ride we did from Pinyon Flats up in the Santa Rosa Mountains (~4000ft) of SOCAL down to Palm Springs (~500ft) 29 miles away. Most of the ride was in Palm Canyon, which offered outstanding single track. There was a rather frustrating 3 miles sandy climbing in the middle but it minor compared to what we were rewarded with. There was an awesome trail we hooked up with near the end of the ride called the Hahn Buena Vista trail. The ride was around 3 miles of downhill single track goodness were the most technical part of the ride was trying to keep your eyes on the trail as the views were breath taking. We did this ride as a point-to-point but I have heard of people making a monster loop out of it. This ride really stresses self-sufficiency as until the halfway point, the closest assistance is back the way you came. All and all this was great way to bring in the New Year. Anyway here is the link to the 52MB video that runs 8 1/2 minutes. http://www.mountainbikebill.com/vide...onPalm-Web.mpg You can also find the videos I did since the last time I posted here. www.mountainbikebill.com/videos.htm Bill |

The biggest thing I have done in the last year or so was to step up from the lipstick cam to the camcorder mounted in a helmet enclosure method. I also have eased off of the video compression a little bit. I have been very pleased with that setup. -Bill |

That's looks like a blast. Nice camera work too. Do you take the camera off for those shots that look hand held, or are you shooting those from the helmet too? I need a new (much smaller) cam! Matt |

I take the camera out of the helmet enclosure here and there. It is actually pretty easy with it being on you head instead buried in your pack. Bill |
