I finally got some helmet cam footage of some downhill riding. I left the house a little after 8 pm, heading towards The Avenues. I made sure to save the battery, not filming any of the uphill. I reached the top of the trail right as the sun began to set.
My first helmet cam footage can be seen below. It’s not actually much of a helmet cam shot, but it was filmed with my new GoPro Hero 3 Helmet Cam. I set up the shot below a section of the trail with a small jump. I set the camera to record and strategically placed the camera in the middle of the trail. Then pedaled out, turned around, and rode back past the camera. Check out the clip below:

I also filmed a good bit of the downhill before the memory card became full. Time to switch to a different card. I uploaded the video to my Vimeo site. It’s too dark to really tell what’s going on. I’ll get better footage tonight. Just as soon as Bill finishes “redding up his room.” Why are Pittsburghers so weird?
