@Userwastaken Sorry for the RIDICULOUSLY late reply. I wasn't in town this year for the bridge pedal. For my camera mount, I built a pretty complex (overly so) device to both stabilize the camera and keep the handle bars out of frame. It was cantilevered over the handlebars. It would have tore me up if I had done an endo over my handlebars. To stabilize the footage, I used Final Cut Pro's stabilizing software.
@PortlandHobnob Alright, thanks. It's okay, by the way. (Hey! that rhymed! :D)
But I ended up using my bendable tripod and zip-ties to stabalize it and then one of youtubes recent updates allows you to stabalize the footage now. What's really ironic, is it took the same amount of time to ride this year as it did last year. Literally to the minute. Anyways, thanks for replying. Might have final cut next year.
I also have this years ride on my channel if you want to check it out.
@Userwastaken That's a creative way to mount the camera, one that is often used in the film industry (surprising I know). You'd be surprised at the mounts used in "Act of Valor," all made possible since 80% was filmed with a Canon 5D Mark II. Example: drywall screws to mount cam to trees and ceilings. Look around on YouTube and you'll find many inexpensive ideas.
Cheap way to get Final Cut: volunteer/intern/work for a production company and cut your vids on their computers during your off time!
@Userwastaken Yes, exactly 10x normal speed. Your video shows just as many clouds as mine! ;) Ahhh....Oregon. Fortunately for you, your battery lasted the whole ride.
@PortlandHobnob Yeah, although, since it was my friend's, It ended up breaking shortly after the upload. Also, one thing I realized after I posted my comment, my and my dad actually show up in your video.
At about 7:55 my dad gets in front of you (the guy in the dull green shirt, and has reflectors around his ankles) and me, the one to the left of him, with fat tires. I found this interesting.
Hey, I was wondering if you're doing this ride in 2011?
My and my dad are going again, and with another friend.
Also, I was wondering how you mounted your camera to your bike, and what program did you use to stabalize the footage? Thanks

You should check out my version of this ride on my channel.
BUt how fast did you speed this up? 10x normal speed?
