Dad's Army heads down to Rotorua for our first ride with everyone on E mountain bikes. E bikes don't mean less mountain bike crashes and the Curse seems to be working this day. I also get to try out my new Skydio 2 drone.

Have fixed skydio. It is cool but I don't think is capable of tracking in the trees. We did use it yesterday though. You can manually fly it between two points called a cable then fly it safely between these two point . You can also get it to hover but follow the rider with the camera. Pretty cool. I think Dad's Army are funny. Some of the guys will hit up huge jumps but go over some tree roots no chance.

Lance, it's time to revisit skyline!! You know that gap jump (not the gap drop) that you guys all ended up doing?? They've built another one next to it that's about 2 metres longer. U can do it just by pedaling from the top down into it. Very nice! Also it's time to clear Mr Black gap!! Cheers, Alwyn.

Im guessing that this is simply the video cable being slightly unseated. Open up the drone, disconnect then reconnect the cable. And regards the stopping mid-trail, mate you were totally parked off the track, so all good.

Re: drone - check the settings for camera white balance, it may have decided the conditions looked like night and changed to suit that. I would guess you could set it to a specific colour temperature, rather than auto.

That drone is a great bit of footage. I understand the 2 heavyweights getting less battery but how were they slower down the hill. I thought weight and gravity would have made you faster. Great video, as to the crash You stopped first you carry the blame. The length of this was not an issue
@bestdayevermtb23 жыл бұрын
Weight and skill are not the same. As for stopping on a track. Are you suggesting you should never stop until you reach the very end of the track?. If so that is the end of these videos. How do we film the track if nobody can stop. As long as you stop in a visible spot and keep the track clear then I see no issue. Anyone who has ever ridden a mtb has done this. This part of the track was at a track crossing so you should have been watching for other riders anyway.
