Today was a great day. Well it actually started off terrible but picked up. This morning I went out on a muni ride with a friend of mine only to find that my favourite trail (a beautiful steep, technical singletrail) has been turned into a boring fire trail! It had been my goal for about a year and a half to ride it all in one go without falling and I never got the chance to accomplish it.
But then we realised that the recent bush fire on Mt Cootha has left a wonderful black hillside with all the rocks exposed. So we did the first freeride style muni weād ever done. I really enjoyed it.
Anyway onto the videoā¦
Straight after this muni ride I went to the local school fete to join in for some very informal bike demos. They had a great northshore setup there and I spent hours riding around on it. Hereās what I filmedā¦
Thatās an interesting comment. The music in the video is actually part of a song that our band recorded.
I seem to remember that youāve been using Windows Movie Maker to edit your videoā¦thatās right isnāt it? If so it sounds like youāve saved it as something along the lines of what they call āHigh quality video (small)ā. The way I saved mine (you may have ot have Movie Maker 2 to do this, not sure) was to select the file size I wanted. I thought 3MB was reasonable, so Movie Maker set the rest accordingly.
All the smaller video tutorials at unicycle.2ya.com are saved as āHigh quality video (small)ā.
Yeah thatās right. Actually the song in the video is a rough cut version of the one weāve recordedā¦I think they (our sax player and her colleagues at uni) still have some post production stuff to do to it for an assessment.
Well we do one or two of these northshore type demos at local school fetes through the bike shop and the MTB club. And most of the other demos Iām involved in are through the Brisbane Bike Trials club. I found a bike trials competition some months ago and have done about 5 competitions since then. Iāve met a whole bunch of really nice bike trials riders, some of who organise these demos. So they just call me up when thereās a demo on.
