Bikeskills Started a new thread Sanyo Dual Cams: Another one camera option

8/15/2014 11:30pm
A couple of years ago we were hired by Sanyo's ad agency to do a series of action sports videos with their then new Xacti Dual cams. While the videos were way too commercial for our tastes, we were pretty impressed with the Dual Cams. The HD video mode had some great features including 30, 60, and 200 frames per...

Bikeskills Added a new video GoPro HERO3: Black Edition vs HERO2

6/26/2014 9:53am
We just picked up a GoPro Hero3, Black Edition, yesterday. We slammed together a quick edit of some side-by-side video that will give you at least some sense of the differences between the Hero2 and the new, top-of-the-line GoPro Hero3 Black Edition. We hope to have some more comparison video up next week that include some mtb footage. Tell us what you want to see us compare. Thanks
Peaty and Ratboy take a break from the World Cup to hit some hot spots in Santa Cruz County on the new Santa Cruz Chameleon. With new replaceable rear dropouts, tapered head tube, ISCG 05 mounts and lighter hydroformed tubing, this 26" swiss-army knife remains the benchmark in hardtail versatility. From pumptrack to single track, town to cross-country... the all new Chameleon is whatever animal you want it to be.

Bikeskills Added a new video GoPro Hero2 and Hero3 2012 Highlights

6/26/2014 8:05am
A 2012 highlights video that was shot 100% with GoPro Hero2s and Hero3s. The footage is of friends and family simply having fun, doing normal stuff, but made more exciting by the amazing GoPro cameras. All footage shot in 2012, most of it captured in Marin County, California. No third party slow motion tools were used in this edit and only a minimal amount of color correction was applied to a few clips. If you have any questions about a specific clip, setting or effect, let us know and we'll get back to you. Happy New Year and a great...
On September 7th, 2013, the SF Urban Riders are putting on SF's First Mountain Bike Race— the SF MTB Festival. A fundraiser for the McLaren Bike Park, it promises to be a good time, with the feature event being a short track race on a two mile loop. We rode the loop last weekend and managed to piece together a brief edit of the course. The course only utilizes part of the multi-use trail system, with trail work ongoing to improve the rider experience currently underway.
