Got some gopros and a voice recorder for the holidays. Finally got some time to head out and give them a proper test. Road Mines Rd over Mt Ham the other week. Had a couple issues with audio but heres some test footage I took. Great ride if you haven't checked it out already. Some parts saw crazy fire damage from last year, feels like an alien landscape.

Thanks for the tip. I just started riding on the street but grew up on the dirt. I used to be at Club Moto 2-4 times a week. Im in school so its nice having a flexible schedule that I can squeeze in some riding.

MX career or otherwise, Mines is a particularly bad choice to pretend that you're Rossi and its Club Moto. You do you though. Carry a Spot and leave it somewhere accessible for others.

Do yourself a favor and get a helmet with a chin bar and a riding jacket that doesn't have sleeves that slide up to your elbows

It's not the entire ride -- the video is a bunch of clips stuck together. Riding the entire length of Mines Rd in 15 minutes would mean he averaged a little under 200mph. I don't see any particularly dangerous maneuvers in the bits that he posted.

Agreed that you gotta watch out on that road, though; even on the weekdays many times I've come around a blind corner to find a brodozer or horse trailer or UPS truck barreling towards me well over the line. Also boulders and deer and turkeys and sand patches. It's a pretty ride but not one to push too hard on.

Also yeah get a full face helmet

Dying in a bike crash is the easy part, the hard part is living through a bad crash. And this is why you want a full face helmet:

Facial Reconstruction Surgery is the way you get insurance to pay to make a new prettier you. Don't listen to these guys. Every crash can be like the opening to Skyrim.
