Some new Helmetcam footage
Just got back from a ski trip, and had a chance to get some GoPro footage of something other than riding the bike.
I also experimented with helmet mount v chest.

Chest Mounted:

Just like on the bike, I think the chest mount footage is more dynamic, and is closer to a "you are there" perspective.

North Turramurra update for 04 Feb
Potentially the pick of the area under current conditions. Water running over many areas but most of the track is good.
Leave the single track alone near McRae place - heavily water logged a a bloody big tree is across it at the half way mark.

Nice fire trail with a couple of massive climbs. First climb is a killer! 200m vertical in 2K's. After that the trail is similar to Terry Hills Perimeter and Long.

Shit Mountainbike Girls Say
In follow up to NSMB's Shit Mountain Bikers say (http://www.nsmb.com/4942-vid-shit-mountain-biker...) some girls in Germany put together a female version of the spoof. It's subtitled in English, but you'll get the point.

Note: At least they do have female MTB'ers in Germany....
