Cycling in Japan.

I took my new Sony HDR-XR520V 240GB camcorder on a bike ride in Japan. I realized when I was editing it, I can't speak English any more. This is intended for fellow cyclists. Note: I had to covert the AVCHD files to MPEG 2 to edit it in Premiere Pro so there's a huge loss in quality.

this doesnt even show the quality of this camera, whatever you converted to isnt working

[kellypettit]

@Ruffneck101 Your right. I didn't upload it to youtube in HD. missed the boat on that one. Some of my other videos do a better job.

Eek! I just saw one of your tags was Gunma. Was part of your ride along Rt 255? Tunnels can be so generic but I felt it was familiar. I used to live in Maebashi. My second last day of riding last summer went from Minakami to Fukiware to Maebashi. Natukasikatta!

@katakanadian You're right. There are a lot of similar roads here but I bet we've both ridden on some similar roads.  I know all those places you mentioned very well and have ridden roads to and from many times. Hope all is well with you. Keep cycling!

great video. Did you actually hold the camera with your hand?!?!

[kellypettit]

@josfxj122008 Yes, I did. It's called, "Very low budget" :) Or as the Japanese say.... SHOGANAI.

Ha! I do the same thing when I hike and film. Something about the adrenalin or something makes my speech kind of scatter brained.
