Introducing Boot Cam
« on: June 20, 2008, 09:37:33 PM »

Firstly, this video really isn't very interesting. I just wanted to check out the quality so I filmed a few small jumps in my garden where space is quite limited.

I think I might mount it a little higher up so more of the boot gets filmed.

Anyway what do you think of the camera angle?

That's the same camera as mine. It's a very nice piece of kit.

the first video was great, imagine landing a 9 step jump or jumpin over  a few people, it would make great footage (no pun)

I like the idea of the boot-cam. But I'd prefer it to be rotated so you could see where the bocker's going.
Everyone's dreams sit aloft a rungless ladder. Some ladders are higher than others. Some are so tall they reach high above the clouds - but everyone can see their dream. Most people see that their ladder has no rungs and although they may talk about climbing it one day, seeing no way to get there, they eventually give up and settle for what lies beneath it.
      The brave however, the wise, the imaginative and the strong of will seek out their missing rungs. They learn all they can about the ladder, they surround themselves with friends and family who would also find the rungs, and failing all else they craft the steps themselves with their own two hands from nothing. Sometimes a rung breaks and the person falls. Some of these people will fall too hard and lose the strength to climb again - Yet they feel comfort in knowing they tried. They became better for it. And they experienced things and witnessed sights upon the climb that those who sat forever beneath it will never know.
      Then there are the special few who find new steps, or fix and climb again the ones that failed. Who eventually, through sheer tenacity and courage come to reach the final rung - Only they will have their dreams fulfilled. The extraordinary then build new ladders. These are the strongest people of all.

No. I'm off to bed and I sleep naked.

I like the boot cam! Though you could proberly do with it at a slighty higher angle so you could see a bit further a head. Watching that made me feel travel sick! lol. If I got one I'd end up falling over like the first time I put it on, and wrecking it all!

I don't suffer from insanity, I enjoy it!
