Riders and other athletes of the world, listen up! We have to figure out a way to represent the depth of the terrain on GoPro POV footage. So many epic moments go unnoticed because everything looks small and smooth.

I heard 360 can footage represents it pretty well. Obviously it's still not the same cuz you watch it though a 2 dimensional screen. But it's much better than a wide angle GoPro from what I've heard/seen.

I just have to tell you, I love how chill you keep this channel. That crash would have made a perfect clickbait thumbnail, with the POV sight of your bike upside down. But do you spoil the surprise? No. So, I thank you.

Don't mean to be a downer. but, with the ronas escalating here in Vancouver I've started to rethink highly technical rides as in the case of a crash youd take away valuable time and resources from our doctors fighting it in hospitals aswell as the risk of contracting it yourself when receiving care. Maybe this is pre-recorded doesn't matter I still enjoyed this content. But I also know id love to see some bike maintainence tutorials or FAQs vids. Cheers mate!
