MotoUtah: Motocross and Off-Road Riding in Utah

So a couple weeks back I was out at 5MP with a fellow MU rider. He spent the day picking up his bike and I spent the day laughing, well I guess it caught up....
Enjoy and feel free to laugh...

Thanks for posting that video.... I enjoy watching riding videos..

Wow, cool video. I never actually seen what it looks like when you crash wearing a helmet cam, pretty wild.

My pride was/is severely hurt from this, for anyone interested.....

It happens to us all, only difference is we didn't do it on camera haha j/k

De ja vu !!!

I have went down a couple of times on that section,it is still one of my favorites.

Great vid,let the flash backs begin

Thanks for riding with us yesterday and the great vid.

I was wondering if you got me plowing into that dirt wall.

I am just glad it was mostly your pride that was hurt and nothing more serious.

All you guys that get to ride in the week, seriously, don't you have jobs or something.

Really, I'm just very jealous that you got out - looks fun!

Which part, my dirt sample was not fun..... the rest was though!!!

Nice vid, thanks for posting. I'm planning to head out to the 5 next week a couple of days and am glad to see it has dried up some since I was out there several weeks ago.
Is that a GoPro you're using, or a different rig? Also, perhaps you could answer a question for me. I'm not real computer savy and am just wondering how you guys add music to your videos? Is there a program of some sort, or how exactly could I do that?

Mine is a Vholdr HD 720 and yes you need to use video editing software. Windows movie maker will do the job as I understand it, but it's not all that good. I used Corel Video Studio Pro for that vid but I'm looking for a different program, that was done using the trial version.
Sony Vegas is suppose to be a really good one and a little less money....

Video editing software I use include Sony Vegas, Cyberlink Power Director, and Adobe Premier and then of course for special effects adobe after effects (i love that one)

Thanks for the info, that gives me somewhere to start. I have a GoPro myself which has two audio settings, high and low. High is unusable on the dirt bike and low you can barely hear anything.
I thought adding music to the vids might make them more enjoyble.

Just for kicks I decided to remake the video using Windows Movie Maker Live. I'm very pleased with it and will likely just use it from now on. It lacks some bells and whistles but where it lacks it makes up for in better compression.
For instance making that vid using Corel, the total size was 460mb yet using WMM live it's only 140. You be the judge..... "Change to view in HD"

I liked that one better personally, but then again, I love War Machine. Angus rocks!!!!! Great track for a riding video.
Far as the quality goes, I couldn't see a difference. And in the little bit of research I've done Movie Maker appears to be a free download correct?
Thanks again for posting the vid. A couple of us fellow 2 smokers are going to be out there next Tues and Wed as the weather is looking nice. If you're interested in heading out yourself, hit me back.

Here are a few pictures from the ride.

It was a great ride--my first since shoulder surgery in October. Couldn't have asked for a nicer day. And all of us happened to be on KTM 300's!

Chase, with daylight savings time kicking in on Sunday maybe we can get in an evening ride.

fmxrider, I expect to be riding Tuesday at 5MP, probably in the afternoon with my son and maybe Steve. Let me know if you want to get together.
