Videos - Rides

[expresso]

Paul: Thanks for some trail riding video, it brings back fond memories of my dirt bike days ( I had 9 of them )

yeah dirt bikes were great - i recall having the best time back then with dirt bikes - i had a few - at first those street / dirt kind which sucked really - i took one jump - crashed and broke all the lights on it

i knew then - i needed the real deal - and got a honda CR80 at the time - i was a Kid then - problem was - we didnt have much dirt tracks to ride - i had to travel to get to one which was just a dump that was turned into a makeshift track
worked fine - every weekend - a dozen or so would show up to ride -

Hi All

New video of day out last Sunday when I went to watch family take part in a five-mile run.

Knole park, Sevenoaks very hilly so not that wheelchair friendly but doable.


Lovely place lots of deer roaming free. Nice mansion and café with disabled toilets.

@Paul: At the begin of the video, I see you get in the train by a yellow ramp. Can you estimate how long it is? And what is it made of? Metal or carbon fibber? Because I see it is very light.

At 34:46 that is an odd color for a Rolls Royce

Thanks for sharing this with us.

Hi snaker

They about 4 to 5 ft long and are not as light as they appear.
Sorry about so long to answer but passed out and done ribs in.

Hi Hobie1dog

According to the wife it looks red or fuscia, have to agree, strange colour for a Roller.

Thank you for your comments Hobie1dog.

That looks cold!

Hi BM

It was cold but not for me. Keis heated vest, heated gloves and feet warmers with the voltage turned up a bit.
All run from a 3s12p 18650 setup fixed under the chair.
Good idea for little video project.

nice - i got a heated windbreaker style jacket also - but mines really dosnt do much outdoors - the elements are not large enough on mines - and unless its close to your body - i dont feel the heat on the front chest area on mines
but the one on the back i feel it since i am leaning back on it - i realize i think it works best when closest to your body - large elements and high heat -

i would like to see how you made your battery for it - because the ones i have dont last too long on high setting - and they cost expensive if i have to replace it - i most likely wont replace it when its dead - and just use the jacket as is -

i dont mind because i liked the jacket either way - heat or no heat -

[Burgerman]

Expresso, if its not warm enough, just use more volts.

Expresso, if its not warm enough, just use more volts.

i have it on the highest setting - it would be warm enough if it were tighter closer to your body - but unless its close to your chest - you dont really feel it much - maybe in the colder days - i can try it with my jacket over it -

but then i am back to be over dressed and cant move - in my mind i was thinking i can wear less and stay warm the same - more flexable etc, - but not sure it will work that way - so its going to be just a spring fall kind of windbreaker jacket

i may have to get a down jacket - should be ligthest and warmest of them all i think - - i dont go out much in the very cold so i get buy with what i have the few times i have to go out - i know i have dental appt. i have to do so i be back and forth the month of dec. - hopefully thats it then till April May

It was 7:30AM in a cold winter morning. Is it different from your western life?

Mostly far less cars,far far more tiny and overloaded bikes! At least in the cities.

[snaker]

The day starts sooner, the traffic is mixed and chaotic, the city looks more lively and hurry as it is ... breathing. Sometimes I see London and New York in your videos look ... slow

[Burgerman]

Why? We have a "conjestion charge". You are charged £11.50 every day to do even 1km in london, thats £4,197 per year or about 5000 euros / 7000 dollars to drive your car just in london! Dont pay? Large fines. Plus 200 to 400 tax, plus fuel at £5 per gallon plus! Yess the capitalist west have bigger wages, but its still a significant figure for an average user.

All designed to stop you driving in london by a stupid socialist mayor, idiots thinking they are saving the planet, and getting rich by putting people out of work. Doesent stop the millionairs with hundreds of £100k mercedes limosines, or rich toy boy's lamborghinis, or worse, hurts all those trying to earn a living with cars and vans. Rediculous. So traffic is artificially low on the surface, and much of the people traveling to work are using the underground train systems.

Hi expresso

The camera is an old gopro hero 3 silver.
I think what helps this camera is the FeiyuTech G5 3-Axis gimbal.

[Burgerman]

Of course you dont need a gimble if theres one built into the cheap chinese clone camera.

Cool videos Snaker and Mind the Gap. I don't see how you deal with so many people on a daily basis. I go into big cities a few times a year and that is enough!

This is an older video on my first chair build. This is about as crowded as I like it!

nice videos - quality looks good -

i have to get a new camera for the summer also - with so many - hard to pick a decent clone that works well for fast motion since i hardly go slow - going slower would help for sure -

[snaker]

My offroad, no gimbal.

You should record the sound of breaking glass, and replay it while they are sitting on it. See how fast they get off

[greybeard]

Nah. This is better. https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=Oo0NJsr5m4I

True. And scary.

just got this camera - has all the features i am looking for - But - i went out and used it first time yesterday - looking over the clips - having mixed feelings - not sure if i am expecting too much from these things or its me with my chair - which i know at times it can be jerky with the road etc, -

some clips are OK and seem fine and then a few at certain locations - seem too jerky and not happy with that result -

i am actually running a clip which i didnt like thru a program to process the shake out of it - if it does work - but if it did work - would mean i have to waste time to process each clip i feel wasnt too good

making me double think and consider returning this camera - But have no clue which to buy any more - i like the remote control feature - and at least 1080p 60 - should hold a 64 gig card Min.

i was first going to go with the SJCAM again - i returned the 5000xelite last year - did a similar effect as this one - at times - maybe was a bit better - but at double the cost - i though it shouldnt have had those effects -

SJ6 Legend i think may be an improvement with a remote -

any inputs on this model ? SJ6 - anyone have a Gopro clone and have good results - can you share the make and model of the camera - with a link so i can check it out -

have 30 days to decide but dont like to wait till last day - once i dont feel good about something - i usually just return it - and since i cant go out to test it again soon - i am thinking of packing it up already -

not looking to spend $500 on Go pros - but at least a decent quality with good anti shake etc, - this camera has both anti shake and Gyroscope - something like that - i had them both on -
