Only thing i can think of is that you are recording in the full 960p mode?
this has a 4:3 aspect ratio. as its still is widescreen its still taller 960 not the std 720 and youtube, etc most prob got a set aspect ratio so it will add 2 bits at the end.

i use
720p: 1280×720 Ultra Wide HD featuring a 170º angle of view, with 60fps to get good slow motion if needed, and 16:9 widescreen aspect ratio. great for the chest mount i use.

hope this helps.

I might make it tomorrow for 6pm peeps

Hello Peeps,

Can someone point me in the direction of Bryn Meadows please? I've read some good things from you guys about it and would like to get out there!

I'm from the Pontypridd area, a post code and general directions where I can get on the trail would be great!

Cheers.

i do fancy it, i didn't realise that there was a 50km route aswell...hmmmmmm...

you gonna do it ben?

Stanners79

I had a look at that and thought 75km was a bit too far for me, 50KM could be done

Paul let me know when you want to borrow my bike.
Looking at the weather report it isnt looking thatclever for the weekend. NOT going if the weather is shonky as its such an exposed trail. If its not forecast rain then we will still be going.
Went to CC last night, GREAT FUN. Like kids playing in the puddles and mud. It did stop raining as we got to the top of the dh.4 of us out.

Leon I am sure I can get enough racks, You can jump in with me. I can take 5.
Will need to find out if Bishys racks will fit aero bars as thats what Sean has.
I have the rack capacity with Gareths and Pauls racks for 5 bikes.

Welsh_Tom

Hi ian nice you had fun. Maybe I should of come. But without any water proofs I dont know. Anyone riding today?

welshkev

SLADEY:

i went into tredz earlier and even though them and wheelies are the same company they won't do cubes at wheelies

but i had a look around the shop and TBH the zesty is the best bet imo. the giant trance x2 looks great but it's £2400, they did have a trance special edition for £1600 which looked nice.

but i'm gonna get a zesty 314....amazing bike 8) get another zesty mate

Pr][nCe

Im out today carpark for 6, anyone else?

Test riding is the big issue a simple blast around a car park isn't enough.

Also considering Spicy

Thewaylander
