One of these days, I plan on improving it by replacing the rope with elastic straps like the official one.Chrishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06606446271603142230noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1204440107409695969.post-26401915953721695972010-06-21T00:24:54.718-05:002010-06-21T00:24:54.718-05:00jej great video!! did you use your homemade chest ...jej great video!! did you use your homemade chest mount for the gopro? it's stable? cheers!!Raulnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1204440107409695969.post-54589374055037215152010-06-04T13:54:00.950-05:002010-06-04T13:54:00.950-05:00Jack and Sharon: The falling wasn't the fun pa...<b>Jack and Sharon:</b> The falling wasn't the fun part, the two days of riding awesome trails in the woods were!

Some of them caused by using the front brake too much (silly street habits), being too exhausted, and riding trails way above my skill. :) It was fun, and I'd do it again. Unfortunately, I have to wait until fall when these trails open again. They are only open twice a year.Chrishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06606446271603142230noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1204440107409695969.post-44029797207464289932010-05-25T19:33:31.233-05:002010-05-25T19:33:31.233-05:00Whoa!

Nope, I didn't cuss. No need. Falling is part of riding. Getting mad just ruins the fun; much better to just laugh at yourself and get back on! <br /><br /><b>Gary:</b> Thank you! I like when my friend said "I almost ran you over" LOL. Glad I could make you laugh. The bike needs a bit of TLC in the form of new handlebars. They are a bit bent, but the stock ones are quite wimpy. I was going to get new ones over the winter, but ran out of cash with all the camera purchases ;)<br /><br /><b>682202:</b> Thanks! I was quite tired after that ride! It was on Saturday, and I think now I'm finally not still sore from the workout. No injuries, so all is good.Chrishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06606446271603142230noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1204440107409695969.post-78166477273574434942010-05-25T15:00:45.112-05:002010-05-25T15:00:45.112-05:00I'm kind of with Gary, can't decide if T-b...I'm kind of with Gary, can't decide if T-boning the Kid or getting taken down by a branch is better. If that would have been me the video would have been labeled NSFW. I suspect you were ready for a few days of RR after that ride.
