We had tons of fun feeding mosquitoes while out on the 29ers. Good early morning ride - no work :-)

    Nicely done, I particularly like the bit on the car beforehand!

    Whereabouts is it?

    Nice video
    What brand of cam did you use..
    As for the crash off the boards right at the end.. good to see I'm not the only person who's done that :)

    Nice little video that, very watchable, good stuff.
    Do we even have mosquitoes in this country though, or is that a slight exxageration of "midges"? :lol:

    hahaha :D I should mention that I'm in Canada. Most people in most countries who see things flying around that big call them birds LOL j/k about that But yes......the mosquitoes can be that bad here at times.

    We were getting swarmed/bitten every time we stopped to set up a shot. It was bad. :shock: Welcome to Canada!

    Thanks for the kind words all! We had fun. Glad you liked it.

    As far as the camera goes, I use a Go Pro HD camera. Far better than the SD Go Pro I had before.....

    Cheers.

    Ah, Canada, I see!

    Do you have "Avon" there? Apparently, Avon's "skin so soft" moisturiser is meant to be veery effective at keeping midges away, it might work for mozzies too!

    I guess this is offtopic now but yes we do. Most of them don't carry malaria though at least

    Is that so? I wasn't sure, which is why I asked. Are they only found in some parts of the UK? I've never come across any.
    I might just be lucky though, I've never even seen a single midge in Scotland :lol:

    Nice video. Nice bit of singletrack, music to add to the video, rather than not suit it and a new edit too. 'Stylish' like fall off the boardwalk too :lol: Was that planned? :)

    .

    Planned? Not at all. It was my first ever camera zip-line attempt and that was James worrying about "staying in the shot" as opposed to watching what he was doing. LOL In the end, I was quite glad he succeeded in "staying in the shot" :-) Thanks for the kind words!
