The best ATV helmet cam video ever - GoPro

[emil3331]

you have the same lights as mine .. those are best lights ever! check my videos :) and very good video editing! respect :)

[FatherQuad]

Thought you were exaggerating with the title, but shit dude, nice video, great angles.

[kohlton38]

what video editing program did you use, i like all the effects and stuff, pretty sick lil vid

[cirkus197817]

@kohlton38 iMovie

[split29445]

Why do people who call their videos "THE BEST..." always follow up with shitty ass music??? Good Video though!

[cirkus197817]

@split29445 Because 2 years ago when I made that video, YouTube was verrrrrry anal about what songs you could use...

[gunner9391]

that is some good riding!!!! i was wondering what the top speed of the 700r is?

[cirkus197817]

@gunner9391 Don't know about stock. Mine was only good for 74, but gobs of torque.

[sfrance783]

okay tsada nah..

[larrydm62]

can't hear the engine over the MUSIC

[Uncloudy]

the riding right now where this video was shot is AWESOME!!!

[Muddy79Ford]

That's badass... And a nice ride you have there... What headlights setup are you using? I'd love that for my 660R but can't find large trail lights like that anywhere

[cirkus197817]

@Muddy79Ford They are from bajadesigns dot c o m

[Muddy79Ford]

@cirkus197817 Awesome, thanks for the reply... I'm really liking their Single LED design, thanks for that heads up.

[andyhasel1998]

Juck Norris called. " He wants his video rights back"

[Jagethemage]

@andyhasel1998 Chuck Norris called, he wants you to fix the typo.. he sounds pretty mad too dude :(

[Skatesondirt]

Where is this!

[daddyrat]

Wow, nice job on the video. Congrats on all the 65k hits, your hard work paid off !

[Croftmania]

Yessss ,

a really great video.

Thanks guys for that video adventure, nice work !

Will get my new 750 King Quad next week ...... ;-)

Frank

[blahhhhh439]

more like 15 cameras, one rider, and 1 atv

[cirkus197817]

@blahhhhh439 Just one camera, lots of takes.

[blahhhhh439]

@cirkus197817 oh well nice job with it i love the music and meshing it togethr!

[blahhhhh439]

@cirkus197817 oh well nice job with it i love the music and meshing it togethr!

[Ridered367]

dude!! how did you mount it like that at :30

[cirkus197817]

@Ridered367 Upside down under the seat

[SpdTrp1050cc]

Great video, I just got a GoPro HD and have been playing around with different things. Your video has given me a lot of ideas!!

[Eagleeye596]

What kind of four wheeler do you have for trail riding? Cuz that will tell me about how hard it will be

[Citydogz45]

sweet..im a new rider and i have a handicap with my right hand so obv have 2 get throttle switched but how hard is steering i wud like 2 go on trails but not to sure how far i shud push myself

[ifitoe]

going that fast i would have been in the hospital

[wolfteam121213]

this is cool and everything but i prefer just a normal helmet cam video.

[DonavonLacy]

thats a fast ass ATV.

[MrMufn8r]

When 50%+ of the frame is still images(bike/rider/etc) GoPro looks good but when you put the cam in front of the vehicle and record the moving terrain, GoPro sucks. Great video though!

[cirkus197817]

@MrMufn8r To be fair, this was filmed with the old non-HD version and uploaded to YouTube at an even lower quality. The HD is MUCH much better.

[AtvRacer30]

Do those lights help you look for UFO's in the dark.

[cirkus197817]

@AtvRacer30 Yeah, from this angle they look odd. Wide angle lens doesn't help. But running 75 down a dirt road across the desert at night with no moon... I'm glad they are on there. Function trumps style in that case

[AtvRacer30]

@cirkus197817 True



[OpTicQuading]

fucking wish i had trails like that where i live and those lights are a turn off..

[OpTicQuading]

Best quad right there

[pedro335500]

sick vid

[SGTHECoDGAMER]

What is the name of this song? Nice video!

[CFSouldier]

Great video man

[cableguy000]

WOW!!! Awesome job that is the best I've seen.

[minibhuna]

what editing software have you used to do this...??? got couple of hours footage from my gopro and ltr450 just not sure what the easiest editing programme to use..

really like this video

[cirkus197817]

@minibhuna I use iMove on my Mac

[nauticaal76]

That was awesome. Good music.

[FRankybzoy]

really nice shot at 2:21

[Icumyourmom]

I love this video !!!!

[homewreckerrob]

the editing makes it worth watching. good job. 

[cirkus197817]

@homewreckerrob Thank You

[PoWn3d0704]

Where on that quad did you mount the rear-facing under the plastics camera? And what mount did you use?

[cirkus197817]

@PoWn3d0704 Just used the flat sticky mount on the plastic under the seat, and filmed in Upside Down mode.

[PoWn3d0704]

@cirkus197817 That is so freaking cool. I think i'm going to have to do this.

[MrTayler1998]

very nice job is that a raptor 660?

[cirkus197817]

@MrTayler1998 700

[mietschyslaw]

WTF? This isn't Disturbed :P

[Avalaff1]

Nice Vid Dude.. SE3's Rock!

[thenewaftermath]

That is some hot camera work. I also have the Go Pro HD and found that by placing one of the 3M helmet mounts on the side of your helmet give the perfect first person view. Feels just like your the camera is in side your helmet. You have to use the longer mounting arm are included with the HDmotor sport kit.

[offroadkarr]

Finally a video worth watching. Sick footage. Could easily be an ad for GoPro.

[cirkus197817]

@offroadkarr Thanks dude.

[DennisH8706]

@offroadkarr definitely!  Good shit. Didn't really like the song. It would be super boring without one though.

[headleed]

great camera angles dude!

[chasednero]

i know how you feel getting footage when ur alone can suck

[giordano4tmacpro]

Awesome editing!

[easydoesitmikey]

What editing program are you using?

[cirkus197817]

@easydoesitmikey iMovie on my Mac

[easydoesitmikey]

Awesome editing job. You got skills man. I think I will go delete all my videos now and bury my head in the sand :(

[cirkus197817]

@easydoesitmikey LOL, thanks dude

[mtruett1117]

Awesome job! Great shots, great angles... some time went into this, I can tell. I'm inspired. I was curious though about your 1st person... did you use the chest mount? Seemed like your angle could have been a little higher up and not so much focused on your steering column. Otherwise, this was one of the best GoPro videos I've seen so far!

[cirkus197817]

@mtruett1117 I used the chest mount because it looked better than from on top of my helmet. It would be better just a little higher up though.

[robiche92]

LOVE the black sun !!

[joelnewell]

good video editing. i just bought the GO PRO HD. cant wait to get it on my 450YFZ. i had the contour hd and it sucked!

[joelnewell]

good video editing. i just bought the GO PRO HD. cant wait to get it on my 450YFZ. i had the contour hd and it sucked!

[cirkus197817]

@660raptor4life Well I've got a lot more HP than stock, so I roll on in 2nd or 3rd, then shift up to 3rd or 4th or 5th depending on how fast I get going. Just practice bringing it up to the balance point, the front end has to come up higher than you think. Then practice using the rear brake to bring the nose down, it will save your butt one day.

[4KawasakiRider4]

@cirkus197817 lol yea i noticed that. when i first started doing wheelies i figured out your balance point is wayyy higher back than you think so its kind of scary at first.

[djsm1th]

@MrKaiserRolls yes

[syssi1]

Wow. You got some balls man.

[smoothhonda]

Nice Vid. I did not see any helmet cam mount views. Where you using the chest mount? Nice work!

[cirkus197817]

@smoothhonda Yeah, not the GoPro chest mount, but a regular mount stickied to my chest protector. I like that view better than from on top of my head. I think it immerses the viewer better.

[PhilOrth]

I love the Barkers on the shot with the camera mounted underneath the bike.

[SRTBmagnum]

Nice vid cool editing and camera placement

[cirkus197817]

@MrKaiserRolls Maybe

[twinsscroll]

super video!!!!!!!cool!!

[doobyboy21]

So when is the next video coming up dude ??? Love your work on the Go Pro !!

[MrSuperdupermies]

2 bikes 1 man would be even cooler

[MyFilthyQuadSport]

is this with a gopro hd? and what does YFM stand for?

[cirkus197817]

@MyFilthyQuadSport No, this is the standard GoPro before I got the HD. I dont know what YFM stands for, Yamaha puts YFM on their quads.

[mabryusmc]

wow... good job on the video... its nice to see something on youtube that doesnt make me want to vomit!

[TheMuscleHamster77]

What year raptor?

[cirkus197817]

@TheMuscleHamster77  2008

[bansheebrad1982]

killer footage i use a contour hd 720p

[myvideoisnotgood]

cool vid but i don´t see any motorcycle just these quads!!

[cirkus197817]

@myvideoisnotgood Well I guess, if a motorcycle can only have two wheels. I call quads motorcycles too though. Its a 4-wheeled cycle with a motor. :)

[slidog24]

@cirkus197817 Or just a small car

[Xmoto16]

why is the sun black

[cirkus197817]

@Xmoto16 a feature of the camera so the picture doesn't wash out.

[sylenzyostampa]

Superr!!! nice work man :)The best

[superdave308]

I was expecting him to ride up on some swimsuit models or something. Ive seen this a million times from behind my bars. But seriously, the GoPro friggin rox in HD

[anthonycr2502]

this is the best video ive ever seen on utube .greatriding and editing

[cirkus197817]

@2005buickallure Cool. I'm using the HD GoPro now too!

[imONLYhalfEVIL666]

is this the go pro hd helmet cam or just the regular go pro helmet cam

[cirkus197817]

@imONLYhalfEVIL666 This is the normal wide GoPro. I now use the HD. You can see a huge improvement in quality. Look at my other videos, under "HD HERo - GoPro - Little OOOPS in the dunes at Glamis.

[Minus31]

Nice job man...you should make a tutorial on how to wheelie...I wanna learn...but soon as I pop up i get that "oh damn ima fall backwards feeling"...then I kick my feet out to the side as if I was falling backwards in a chair...and land the bike...I gotta get over that feeling but who wants to fall?...also...0:48 was a nice shot...nice work...I like the camera on the front grab bar looking at you as well...

[cirkus197817]

@Minus31 The way I learned was this. Find a wide open spot, start in first gear and just focus on learning rear brake control. Pop the front up and intentionally bring it too high. Use the rear brake to stop the front end and bring it back down. Do that till you're comfortable using the rear brake, it'll save your butt in the future. Then you gotta work on finding the balance point...it's higher than you think.

[cirkus197817]

..... Once you're comfortable with the front end up at the balance point, you can keep it up just by modulating the throttle, and you only need the back brake in an emergency.

[Minus31]

@cirkus197817 Yea I gotta get use to that feeling of going backwards...but next time I go riding ima hit a open field...but you should make a video...it a be nice because very simple things for you might be hard for other people...for example...I never popped my clutch...the bike has enough power to bring me up in 1st gear just hittin the throttle...so I don't know if it a be more easy ya way or not...but when I tryed popping the cluthc I think I stalled...so..ima new rider...8 hours total...

[cirkus197817]

@Minus31 I've done a bit of aftermarket power-adders to my bike so I definitely don't use the clutch. But you don't need to, it's easier without. I use second gear, no clutch, but can use 3rd and 4th depending on how fast I'm going. 4th gear in the dunes over a small rise can get the front end up real easy. Try riding easy in 2nd, then let off the throttle and crack it open just to get the front up and ease off the gas as the front gets higher. The higher you go, the slower you can go.

[Minus31]

@cirkus197817 Yea ima hit a open field and just try to get it up 1 ft til I get use to it...then 2 ft til I get use to it...then 3 ft...etc...

[techdekproductions1]

whats the black spot in the middle of the sun ar 1:07 and other times? lol

[cirkus197817]

@techdekproductions1 The camera blocks the sun so it doesn't wash out the picture.

[W4llyB4nger]

Very well put together. Nice work

[cirkus197817]

@W4llyB4nger Thank you!

[Maxomath]

what are for does huge lights , do you race in the baja or what, and they also look sick on you're Raptor

[cirkus197817]

@Maxomath The lights are HID's from B a j a D e s i g n s . c o m. They are insanely bright and light up the night. A must for eith riding in the dunes at night or high speed desert riding. At 74mph I can't outrun my lights!

[Maxomath]

@cirkus197817 lol, but they look good on you're quad from this view, so I don't care about them, just wanted to know if you raced in Baja competitions

[The88katana600]

HELL YES NICE VID MAN! JUST GOT MY GOPRO A WEEK AGO AND LOVE IT. A MUST HAVE!!! . I GOT THE GOPRO HD MOTORSPORTS CAM, WHAT A BLAST IT IS TO USE.

[cirkus197817]

@The88katana600 Yeah, I'm using the HD cam now too. Much better! Love it!

[PublicWifi]

This is a quad. Wow.

[cirkus197817]

@rex4x4 Thanks man

[theHansinator]

sick

[bowtieforlife]

love the vid man

[jeenyus720]

i cant wait to make a video like this on my sport bike. I already have music, angles, roads ideas, and other riders planed out haha. Now all i need is the go pro hd lol

[cirkus197817]

@jeenyus720 Yeah, make sure you get the HD, the video is 1,000 times better than the regular HERO. And get AT LEAST an 8 GB card. I can really fill a card quick even filming in 720P 30FPS. And there's still two higher qualities above that that eat up more GB's.

[mulisha911]

Awesome video editing man. By far one of the best and most creative clips I've seen in a long time!

[cirkus197817]

@mulisha911 Thanks man, I'm working on footage for the next video right now using the HD Hero. The video quality is amazing.

[MyFilthyQuadSport]

sick video. what kind of gopro? and do you trust the adhesive mounts?

[cirkus197817]

@MyFilthyQuadSport this was done on a standard def wide hero. I just picked up an HD GoPro last week and the footage is amazing. The adhesive mounts use 3M VHB. If applied to a clean surface they are on almost permanently.

[seanutbrittle22]

ok who else is sick of drowning pool on atv videos? lol

[cirkus197817]

@seanutbrittle22 ...uhhhhh....me. LOL

[seanutbrittle22]

@cirkus197817 yeah no offense to you or anything, nice vid though man; so would you recommoend the raptor 700? ive been lookin for a new quad and seriously conseidering the raptor but id like a first hand opinion is it too much power

[cirkus197817]

@seanutbrittle22 I don't think its too much power, but then again mine is making 55HP now. Not the most powerful Raptor out there, but better than the 34HP I had stock! Raptors are a great bike, you won't be sad you got one.

[seanutbrittle22]

@cirkus197817 awesome, cause im lookin for sortof my first real quad, ive had a blaster in the past to play on but now i wann move up, im about 6' 220lbs so i wanna make sure i get a bike that i eventually will want more later on and bein the rapotrs the top rated of he big bore quads it was pretty much a no brainer

[cirkus197817]

@seanutbrittle22 Well I'm 5'10"/205 and it's good for my size. I don't think you'll find another bike in this cc class that's going to match it. It's not the fastest bike, but it's got lots of grunt which makes it fun to ride. Mine does 74 on level ground which is enough for me. But I have some mods. Anyways, I think a guy your size would do best to be on a Raptor. Just my opinion.

[seanutbrittle22]

@cirkus197817 thanks man!, cant wait to be ridin on the trails man, as well as the dunes

[RichRed19]

cool vid. where's your bar pad at? scary!

[sideshow45]

5/5!!! favorite!! awesome video dude! :)

[cirkus197817]

Thanks

[ATVjohnny]

Nice.. Wats the song called???

[cirkus197817]

Yeah man, they are comfy!

[JurisRaptorz]

what program you use for video?

[cirkus197817]

Look in the info---->

iMovie on my Mac

[rebel4055]

Are those aftermarket handle bars? I love the raptor 700rs. My buddy had one and if you hit the gas WAY to hard to would rip you right off the back! Its a VERY awesome 4 wheeler and we had some fun times riding before we couldn't afford it anymore. Plus he got his repowed :P

[cirkus197817]

Yes, they are FASST FLEX bars, with a +1 Houser steering stem

[MrBaNsHeEcRaZy]

was that a planet in the sun in 1:48

[p38shocker]

hey what kinda lights are those

[cirkus197817]

They're 4" HID's, Soltek Fuego's from Baja Designs. The brightest insane lights ever.

[JurisRaptorz]

what camera you use it?

[cirkus197817]

GoPro

[oldyuma]

Where was this filmed dude?...

I've got a yamaha banshee that would

love to carve that dirt...

[cirkus197817]

Yuma, AZ

[sheridan666777]

Sik vid man, the up close one at like 2:20ish are badass. I keep wanting to do a vid like this but once i get out riding I never want to stop and set the camera up, then pick it back up etc lol

[TheJagar]

can u take the sticky mount off and move to another place??

[cirkus197817]

Once the mount is placed, it's fairly permanent. It can be removed with enough force. Several mounts are included unless you get the camera only, and you can buy a "grab bag" of mounts from GoPro.

[TheJagar]

ya i have the hd hero hd with suction cup and stuff that grab bag sucks tho

[johnwoo699]

amazing vid

[ScaryJudgeofCaracter]

That was great and I think the clearest video made with the GoPro non HD on YT. Any tips?

[cirkus197817]

Experiment with crazy angles, you'll be surprised with the shots you will get.

[yourkidden]

Awesome!

[hasanucoz]

do you always ride alone???

[cirkus197817]

I ride alone a lot because for one I like to ride pretty fast and aggressive so that means I like to be out front and two, my tires throw some very dangerous rocks so no one likes to be behind me. But I like to ride with friends too, especially in the dunes.

[hasanucoz]

@cirkus197817 oh.:) thanks for replying,i like to ride alone too :)

[cirkus197817]

Thanks for all the nice comments guys, I'm looking forward to doing another video with the new HD version of this cam

[doobyboy21]

Shit that was really awesome dude! Alot of patience for this great video!

[chargerbaseball5]

wow that was some really good editing. i just ordered my gopro wide and i cant wait to use it. your video was really good

[ladiezman247]

im stuck what should i get 700r or yfz450 i like them bolth alot plz help

[cirkus197817]

I love my Raptor but if I got something to replace it it would be the 450.

[chargerbaseball5]

you can compete in everything on a yfz, but you couldnt compete on a 700r at mx at all. i mean you could but you would be smoked. And you can always make your yfz as fast as a 700r, but the 700 will never hadle as well as a yfz

[robert140377]

Great Job Man :)))

Respectos :)

Greetz

[XboxReaper417]

yea im getting the go pro hd for christmas. Can someone plz make a video response showing the best mounting position so i dont waste the mounts

[RPDXC]

Hey will do! And that is good to know about the editing! I think as long as I have an editing program that supports mpeg files, i'll be alright. Im pretty sure in windows movie maker, you have to convert the file to use it there, which will degrade the quality.

I also remember reading somewhere that youtube will be supporting 1080p format in a week or so, which is great. Hopefully they can do something about the quality loss.

[RPDXC]

That would make 3 of us. Mine is supposed to be in the 22nd. I paid $300 flat, no tax, free shipping, and with a free 4gb memory card. I couldnt find it anywhere cheaper than that. Only thing I really want to experiment with is which editing program will lease likely loose quality before it is posted onto youtube. Can't wait though! My last helmet cam video was done with a 5mp digicamera, and ductape, so this will be real nice!

And ofcourse, awesome video! 5 stars!

[cirkus197817]

Thanks man. Congrats on your purchase. You'll love it. In my experience, most of the quality loss won't be in the editing, it will occur in the upload to YouTube. Good luck with the editing, don't forget to send a message when you get something uploaded!

[YouTees]

Check out the newest: GOPRO HD 1080p helmet camera... It is amazing! I'm getting mine Dec 17th and I cannot wait. Only $259.00 before shipping. BEST video on the market now. Check out their vids here on YT. Yeah...until the 1080p the GoPRO wide standard was the best. of course the rest of the work you put into this vid is what also makes it awesome! GREAT job.

[cirkus197817]

Thanks, I'm waiting for my 1080 as we speak. :)
