Sports cam tests

Bike and video ?

First test with the sanyo on a seat post. need someone behind me to make this video interesting, but the quality and stability is quite ok. Seat post is the best regarding angle but of course you videotape the trail behind you. i tryed on the fork or on the helmet, but did not find any solution regarding both angle and stability.

Any tips ?




As far as i'm concerned, as a montainbike rider, i've always looked for a camera to videaotape our furious trips in the remote countryside. Something both practical and solid. With a nice shape to fit on a helmet or handle bar for instance (with foam or bubble wrapper and support- like mac guyver will explain to me later).





i've found this one for a reasonble price/ Quality (around 2500 rmb for the model i'd like to buy).


A Sanyo brand product. Actually it's a digital camera but truly Mpeg video oriented (it enhances video quality and the design is more videocam-like, if you ask me)


If anyone has comments , tips or ideas, please drop a line. the bottom line is to videotape while riding. Tough and risky...maybe, but so much fun.

Otherwise, i found this little stuff(a friend found a store in qingdao). A cam completely devoted to sport actions. (water proof, really solid and compact

I'm really attracted by this product (cheap-170O RMB) but honnestly i do not know about the quality. So if anyone has heard about it or similar stuff, please leave comment.

How to switch from Slick to Knobby tires for a MTB ride

Don't bother !!! do the same as us.... One of our mate came for this ride in Xiakeng-Anhui Province with slick tires..too lazy to switch beforehand at home !!

1- Remove your wheels out of the van

2- After wasting your time trying to remove the tire from the wheel, use a huge and sharpened special local tool (big knife) to split the tire apart

3- Then use scissor to cut the tire and remove the inner tube

4- Go on all along the tire

5- After having understood that there is no f***ing inner tube but only a tire completely glued to the rim, destroy it completely Actually, the flat tires was increadibly stuck on the rim....impossible to remove. we spent one hour and half in order to swich properly from one to another for both wheels. no mentioning the two flat tires we had before being ready to ride !!

Yes , you can enjoy your ride now !

Actually, we all enjoyed riding in this place !
