50 Year Trail - Upper Chutes - Mountain biking - Tucson, AZ

This section is SE of the other 'chutes' and lies inside Catalina State Park I think. Its a helluva climb up but a great ride ride.

@crystalminer

thanks man

I'm surprised at how smooth the video came out considering it was on your handlebar. I think I am going to give that a try. Did you buy a mount or did you make one? Great video! I can relate to the cactus, unfortunately.

@davidrhorn

i bought the mount. I'd attribute the relative smoothness to:

1. wide angle lens

2. good front fork

3. some riding skill ;)

thanks for the feedback!

Mmmmm stir fry yams and yellow onions yumm!! Looks like you mounted this on your handlebar!! What bike are you riding?

@yetibiker08

lol?

yeah this was a handle bar mount, with the old GoPro.

I think I was riding my Gary Fisher Cake 4, heavily modified of course.

@KeepOnRollinFilms

What front tire are you running? Maxxis, Schwalbe, Specialized, Bontrager, Kenda?

good call, I havent tried that yet. I'l have to go back and film it again with my new HD cam and chest mount, hopefully the sun flares will be minimized.
