[Closed] Peaks: Fullface+Go pro stuck to side of helmet

Shush there angry little man...

blah blah blah blah blah blah [b]Live and let live[/b] blah blah blah blah blah blah

You forgot to call them fashion bikers o.p

I give it a week before the 'gopro wanted' classifieds ad.

😆

Did you tell them what you thought?
Or wait until you were nice and safe at home tucked up behind a keyboard?

Plus unless you are a decent rider, pro boarder or base jumper why the **** would you want to go pro?

Unless your wife and kids are the most beautiful in the world, why would you want to take photos of them?

Peaks:

Or so you mean the Peak? It's simple there are 2 of them so it's the Peak.

Oh an FFS concentrate on what you are doing.

Who cares?

There's no law against full faces and filming your rides. I don't do it, but of others want to let them.

Bet they were fashion bikers on Santa Cruz or Banshee Enduro bikes.

Did I say anything?

You've never been anywhere with me have you? I cant keep my gob shut 😆

Nearly as bad as mincing around the Surrey hills on a Rocky Mountain RM9, calling yourself a 'downhiller' and refusing to even roll down anything steep.
Who would do such a thing? 🙄

Rode it around? Rode it once and promptly sold.

[i] Is it just me[/i]

Yes.

Pro team coaches hoping to get some footage of a leg end in action?

Hang on a minute. I remember meeting you for a pint in the Marble, and feeling decidedly under-biked, and non-[b]GGGGGNNNAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAARRRRRRRRRRRR[/b] on my single speed, as you were on one of these…..

There isn't even a bloody slight incline for 15 miles!! 😆

Mountain bikers, such an inclusive and tolerant community. Out of interest, what are the precise rules around the wearing of full face helmets - I recently wore one at Cwmncarn, on the DH trail on a Santa Cruz (!!!), but I've also ridding the Mega course without one. No doubt I've committed at least one faux pas there?

If the OP does have a point it's probably that it does increase the likelihood of objections from rambly types, which is never a good thing.

I'll wear my full face if I've not got to pedal up anything.

I'd never get a Go-pro as I just remember stuff (and don't forget you can remember things to be better than they actually were).

[quote=mikewsmith a dit] It's simple there are 2 of them so it's the Peak.

Ermm, no. There are TWO of them so you use a PLURAL word

2 = Peak[b][i]s[/i][/b]

Or The Peak [b][i]DISTRICT[/i][/b] if you want to be sanctimonious like Hora 😉

Go Pro, the modern day equivalent of boring the sh1t out of friends and families with slide shows. Does anyone seriously rewatch their videos and think anything other than "that looks tame and I look slow". I do like watching videos that fade out and get cut at obvious dabbing points though.

Still, each to their own, it still isnt a crime.

Ooh can we get into the Peak/Peaks/Paecs/peaks argument again?

alternatively, you can watch hora using his nipples to scratch in a hip hop stylee

FF to 3mins07secs

I'm not showing my helmet to anyone on this forum.

ha ha! That's good ^^^ 🙂

It is the Peak- the name refers to a tribe of people who lived there in prehistoric times, not to the peaks of mountains, as there are none. Peak is correct.

I was given a gopro last year and it is totally beyond me why I would use it, I am not interested in watching a ride I did two years ago with it looking like I am doing it at half the speed and on half the gradient I remember.

To be honest good luck to them if I wear FF I'm usually planning on either traveling extremely fast so trying something new, not trying to impress anyone else TBH just keeping my good looks LOL.

With regard to Gopro guilty here as well but I prefer it to stopping and taking stills for keeping great memories of cracking rides. Also using Gopro is great for when we want to ride a route again to see whether we can make time up , avoid things that slowed us down last time etc.. Starts as a good reference for improving a ride we have done before. 😀

So GoPros are great fun. I am slowly compiling a video of my stupid crashes.

Ok so its THE Peaks

So when I say tonight 'I'm going to ride in the Peaks tomorrow mrshora wont backhand slap me in the balls? Cool 8)

the name refers to a tribe of people who lived there in prehistoric times

the Pecsaetan or peaklanders, an Anglo-Saxon tribe

so it's the Pecs' then?

What about the people who live there now?

'Its my land, don't drive that down here/I'll cry on tv over the disgusting way Jim Dixon treats us' (dia)tribe

they'd have to get some bigger signs.

As long as no-one forces me to watch their Go-Pro videos, and as long as there is enough space on the internet for them, people can film whatever they wish as far as I'm concerned.

As soon as I have to watch one I become quite murderous, but that's rarely a problem.

🙂

Someone linked a Cavedale/Peaks compilation go-pro vid on facebook. Mrshora must have been watching me as she said I started frowning, then looking angry. It was seriously dull. I'm sure most go pro vids are speeded up as many look un-natural. I remember one ride we did/linked up on here (until removed as it was full of cheeky)- I remember the ride being fun, most of the footage could have been anyone. Just couldn't identify with it.

I have taken my go-pro on precicely one ride, and broke my arm. Since then it's been in it's box, clearly bad Ju-Ju.

The first thing I'd do if I owned a go-pro would be to use it in the bedroom, doesn't anyone use their go-pro for home porn movies?

Go Pro Gonzo bonanza Vol 6, coming right up

It is the Peak- the name refers to a tribe of people who lived there in prehistoric times, not to the peaks of mountains, as there are none. Peak is correct.

Language is correct through usage.
If 90%* of people call it 'The Peaks' and if the [url= http://www.peakdistrict.gov.uk/learning-about/news/news-archive/pedal-the-peaks-in-national-bike-week ]Peak District National Park use both The Peak and The Peaks[/url] then 'The Peaks' is not incorrect.

(*87.2% of statistics are madeup)

It was seriously dull.

As fine a figure of a man as he is 😕 I can't believe no-one's mentioned the Stormtrooper hiding behind a berm at 2.20

That was me being a dick. Well spotted though.

I shall be riding DH this weekend with my gopro attached to my full face, so i can record my progress and analyse it over a beer. Apologies if this offends you Hora, but please **** off thanks.

Any decent rider would surely tell you you need to be watched/filmed to properly 'analyse' your riding.

Otherwise all your doing is saying 'wow that looks flatter than what it is and dont my arms look like ragdolls. 😉
