Hills never look as steep in video. Steep and big rocks are tough, but you seem to handle them with ease. So how do you make the footage come out so stable? Even when you are bouncing around on gnarly terrain, the horizon stays constant.

I'm using the GoPro Hero 8 Black which has great built in stabilization. I made a mount out of Kydex that I have on my helmet chin bar which I think helps also.







Here is another mount I made that I have yet to try.

Yeh I know Mike
He's a teacher and lives in Pisgah Forest NC
Haven't seen Mike for quite a while but when I had a KLR I rode with some times
I think his dad lives in Texas

I think we've discussed this previously

Yep, that's the guy. I was just curious if OP had run across him.

Boot cam will be interesting... I couldn't do that with the amount of times I come off, would break it on the first ride.

Your video reminds me of Popcorn Ridge in Rabun Co.
