Capturing the essence of motorcycle riding: video from a biker’s perspective
On several occasion this summer I mounted video cameras on my motorcycle to capture (and share) the experience for others from the rider’s perspective.
I’ve been searching everywhere for a similar concept but so far in vain.
I believe it is unique.
One of my best was of the Angeles Crest Highway that runs 66 miles from LA to the Mojave Desert across the top of the San Gabriel Mountains.
You can get a feel for it from the rider’s perspective in the video at
ANGELES CREST HIGHWAY: a motorcycle rider’s perspective (with movie)
There’s a whole back story explaining the production problems and how they were surmounted.
I shot a similar video on a run with about 25 other bikers to the southern Sierra Nevada near Kernville. You can see it at
KERNVILLE GSR RUN 2013: Motorcyclists conquer the Sierra Nevada (with movie)
There is a back story with this one, too, but the production issues were omitted.
Do you think these videos capture the essence of the experience?
If you know of any others I would enjoy comparing notes.
Your thoughts and comments would be most welcome.
