Robert2 Posted March 7, 2008 Report Posted March 7, 2008 I wore a digital movie camera on top of my helmet today and filmed 4 gigabytes of movies....2 hours. It was cold enough last night to get back the surface they can groom. I can't post the unedited AVI files on the web. Can anyone recommend any video editing software I can download that can chop out the lift rides so I can just share the snowboarding runs? Quote

Hey Robert...I can't help you with your video but I'm the rider you were videoing today. It was nice meeting/riding with you and I look forward to seeing the video if you're able to figure it all out. BTW....conditions were great today at Jack Frost with only a handful of people. Take care, Michael (Miguel) Edited March 7, 2008 by Miguel Quote
Robert2 Posted March 9, 2008 Author Report Posted March 9, 2008 I was able to make WMV files and reduce the 4 gigs to 3 movies. They are on a slow server so it takes a while to fetch the movies. These movies are complete runs from strapin to strapout. About a minute or two each of nothing but old school snowboard carving. No slowspeed bonkyard grinding here. We had an empty mountain that day so there are very few people...usually nobody at all.. on the hill in these movies. I prefer an empty hill when carving like the wind anyway. I overtake skiers everyday and got to the point now where I will actually wait for a clear hill before dropping in the headwall on Lehigh. Even then, I still caught up with skiers that I couldn't even see when I entered the hill. Midweek JF spring riding is nothing like Boulder. I saw CBKpride's NEWVID OH YEEEAAAH post and his movies. I don't know what quality everyone expects from video postings and since this is my first video posting I tried for a riders point of view, not a gapers point of view. Since I ride alone 3 hours every day I never considered snowboarding to be a buddy sport like some of you guys asking about who's going and even considering not going because there will not be crowds. I was stunned by the numbers of riders in CBKpride's video. They looked like a swarm of flies.

method9455 Posted March 9, 2008 Report Posted March 9, 2008 I couldn't get them at the moment, but if you are looking to post the best place seems to be Vimeo Quote
phillycore Posted March 9, 2008 Report Posted March 9, 2008 I dunno why but I got sick to my stomache and a headache watching that.... Seasick maybe... either way... I can't watch anymore... sorry Quote
tyberesk Posted March 9, 2008 Report Posted March 9, 2008 I dunno why but I got sick to my stomache and a headache watching that.... Seasick maybe... either way... I can't watch anymore... sorry yea after watching 20 seconds of that....i got a bit of a headache and hadda turn it off. Quote
Papasteeze Posted March 9, 2008 Report Posted March 9, 2008 yea after watching 20 seconds of that....i got a bit of a headache and hadda turn it off. I made it 10 seconds. suggestion: find the best section/segment and keep the clips ultra short and repost them. Quote
method9455 Posted March 10, 2008 Report Posted March 10, 2008 Its hard to correct shaky footage after the fact, it is possible but timeconsuming Quote
Robert2 Posted March 11, 2008 Author Report Posted March 11, 2008 Hey !!!!!!!!!!!!! what do you expect from a HELMET CAM???? I'm not Steven Speilberg making Star Wars here guys. ITS JUST A HELMET CAM I don't see any of you posting video of anything at all. OR even CBKpride videos are nothing more than short blips of grinding rails. Sure you can have fun in the park but there is more to snowboarding than the bonk yard. Check out www.extremecarving.com some day. I'm not going to chop down any of these videos. They are strapin to strapout and you can take them or leave them. Its documentary footage showing how fast you can ride on a sunny day at JF in the spring...with nobody else on the hill to get in your way. Quote
phillycore Posted March 11, 2008 Report Posted March 11, 2008 Don't feel bad I couldn't watch Blair Witch Project withoug feeling the same way Quote

Robert2 Posted March 11, 2008 Author Report Posted March 11, 2008 I'm calm. Sorry to sound ragged. I don't do digital cameras or cell phone cameras and this helmet cam came with instructions that said don't use it below 32 degrees so I couldn't even play with it all winter. I had to wait for the warm spell to make movies. So my first attempt to use it proved how little I know about making movies or editing video. It was hard enough to just figure out how to eliminate the 8 minute lift rides and just play the snowboarding. ahhhhhhhhh yes..... I've been a member for a month and I only saw one video..... I've also seen some pictures of snow that seriously do nothing to show just how much fun it was to be on the snow that day when he took those pictures. I figured I'd step up to the plate and show people that YES there is still very nice ridable snow at Jack Frost... all week... not just on the weekends...... and then I get Siskel and Ebert knocking my video. I'm calm. You calm? I'll get my 3 hours on the snow today. I hope you can too. Quote
