Crazy laughter for crazy fun

In Soviet Russia, hope turns you! :cheers2:

What's a helmet?

 

How Did You Film It So Well, Firstly I Thought The Camera Was On A Motorbike,

But I Could Not Hear It, Then I Thought It Was Another Skater With Helmet Cam,

But The Film Was Too Steady.

Enlighten Me Please....?



Cheers Glen.

 

The Bonzing Boom! A GoPro camera mounted on the end of a shaft from a hockey stick. This can be done with PVC pipe, a lacrosse stick, ski pole, etc. Handling it while skating takes a bit to get used to, but it's one of the most versatile ways to film this kind of stuff. A 'fig rig' would be another way to do it... not as maneuverable, but easier to use.

The Bonzing Boom makes an appearance at the end of this clip:

Thanks For The Reply, So Happens I Watched That Video Yesterday After I Had

Viewed Yours for The Umpteenth Time, What I Really Wanted To See Was What The

Speedo In The Car Was Showing, My Guess Would Have Been 80-100 kph,

How Close Was I.??.



Cheers Glen.


P.S. Just Wanted To Add That A Few Months Ago Bathurst Was Host To

"Newtons Nation" An Event Where Peeps Come From All Over The World To

Skate, Luge *spelling* Down Our Famous Racing Circut "Mount Panorama".

Why Don't You Fly Over Here And Skate Against The Worlds Best.....??

 

I'm not sure exactly... that hill is a beastly 18% grade. When he goes around the little right and just takes off I would bet he got up to at least 45-50mph (about 70-80kph), but I tend to estimate on the low side.

Let me see...
1. Quite a lot of the world's best happen to call my time-zone home
2. I'm broke as a joke
3. Although I've been skating since I was 8, barging down big nasty hills is something of a recent thing for me. Actually racing adds a ton of difficulty/danger that I need to work up to. By this time next year I hope to be getting into some serious craziness... Of course a promotion at work would help so I can fund some road trips to the mountains.

Nice gap!
Though it'd be better if you did a backflip or something at least...
