MODS! Why can't we embed vids from Utube and alike. Would make things easier.

Good vids BTW. Looked like a lot of fun.
I like the little nap you took at 40 sec' in part 8 and the comments "I don't wanna leave! I'm gonna come back tomorrow."

BTW clgdswr, what brand of camera are you using and do you rate it? The footage looks awesome, even in the low light pine plantation. HD too.

Yes it was great weather here, in fact some idiots were out mowing their lawns over the weekend! Hey clgdswr How come you didn't call me.... Where are you riding? Those roads and the timber looks exactly like here on the peninsula.

Good stuff, looks like a lot of fun!

BTW, you might give Vimeo a shot, they don't limit to 10 minutes, but rather by file size. For my camera, that generally equates to about 25 minutes.

Deej=========This riding area is outside duvall towards monroe. Its not very close to where you ride. THOUGH my parents bought 3 acres in brinnon on hood canal and once spring and summer arrive. I will be olympic national park riding. And I will gladly give ya shout when I am going to be riding over there.

The camera is a ContourHD 720P version. I had to take the entire camera apart and insulate the microphone with an automotive foam that is used to seal blower vents and connections. I shot 2 hours of video two weeks ago and the wind noise at any speed over 5mph was HORRIBLE. I owned the GOPRO 1080p camera. I liked the camera, but I hated how it mounted so I took it back and got the 720p contour. They do make a 1080P version, but you need a SUPER powerful computer to be able to watch or edit the movies.

I spent months reading reviews on the two helmet cam brands(GO PRO and CONTOUR) I made my mind up to buy a contour and when I got to REI they were sold out. Somehow I talked myself into buying the one I decided I didnt want. Then took it back LOL.

Nice.... That's one of my go-to winter riding areas. There's some decent single track up there if you know where to find it
