Pretty cool. Your little camera did a relatively good job of picking up the details on some of the trail. What are you using?
It's a HelmetCamera.Com bulletcam connected to a Canon MiniDV. It's the 400 resolution unit, so it does a halfway decent job. I tried one of those mounts for the miniDV, but it's too much weight on my head. This is about 9 oz. as opposed to four pounds. I also filter the frames to get more brightness and contrast.
Here's some of the video I shot on the San Juan Trail this past Sunday.
Nice job -- trail looks a bit rutted out right now, but otherwise same ol' SJT.

I'd say that most of the switchbacks (which I didn't show) are in desparate need of maintenance. I had to dismount for a good number of them because one tire would get stuck in a rut and propel me off. Keep in mind that it poured the day before which I am sure did not help the trails. There's also a spot where one of the railroad ties has washed down the mountain and the trail is eroding fast.
I don't know who is responsible for maintenance there, but you should give them this info so they can schedule a maintenance day.

It's almost a lost cause. Those ruts (I walk many of them too) are a by product of uncaring shuttle-monkey dill-weeds.
My mistake. I got this video confused with the JEM video. Your musical taste is fine. I have that other song in my mind....
I pity you. Mike has tried on several occasions to inflict that type of damage on me, but much to his dismay I am immune- I never watched much TV as a kid, and completely missed a huge chunk of pop culture as a result. Thankfully.

But, you can tell me I won't tell anyone else, what happened to Mike as a kid?

The usual. Too much bad TV was a major factor, I think.
