  1. I was watching a show on OLN about kayaking, of all things,
    and they did a feature about a guy who makes helmet video
    cams. One of the videos they showed had the camera mounted
    under the seat of a MTB, looking backwards over the rear
    wheel. The guy was riding on a twisty single track, with
    another rider right behind him. Seeing the spinning rear
    wheel and the other rider carving through the turns just
    behind him was very cool.

    Does anyone know of an example of this type of video on the
    internet? I have a friend who has done a fair bit of straight-
    forward helmet cam stuff but he sorta burned out on it. I
    want to show him an example of how this stuff looks to
    remotivate him.

    Google actually works. You should try it sometime.

    Yeah was looking on Pete's site, but he's got a ridiculous
    (in a good way) amount of video there, and it wasn't obvious
    from the previews that he had what I was looking for. Got a
    specific one in mind?

    I know he's got an example of this type of camera mount on
    his site....Pete?

    Cool, thanks. From the above search, here's the best example
    of what I was looking for, if anyone is interested...

    I'd still like to fine one where the camera is mounted
    to the bike, rather then the rider's helmet. Obviously
    it's much easier to just flip around the helmet cam
    mount, though.

    JOOI, how exactly would one Google for rear-facing mountain
    bike videos?

    I actually found a couple videos on Google looking for
    "mountain bike video rear-facing." They were the same ones I
    found from the other poster's list of video sites, though. A
    lot of videos don't have text descriptions, though, just
    prevew pics. Kinda makes the Google search useless.

    Well, you type in "rear-facing mountain-bike videos"....

    Searching this newsgroup and/or using different
    terminologies should garner more but then again, Google is
    pretty difficult to figure out for some.
