Those trails aren’t technically legal but some of the best riding in marin. I’ve always heard it’s called hitlers because some anti biker put up fish line with hooks across part of the trail. I live it out there because I can take my dog with me. Basically no rules out there

Congratulations on the AF. Yeah the carbon version is a little stiffer but you know what, for the price... Especially versus a Yeti, you are getting a huge deal and Ibis hit this one out of the park. Hope you're still loving it. Sweet trails too! How do you like it now that you have ridden it for a time vs the SB130?

Hey, loved seeing the local trail being shredded, and as a fellow GoPro-filmer Id like to suggest you try color grading/correcting. I just learned the basics in about a 10-minute video and it really makes things look better. It is as easy as editing a photo.
@kencycles36553 жыл бұрын
Thanks for the suggestion! I actually used to do lots of post production work way back when so I am very familiar with color grading. Unfortunately my laptop I use to edit these videos slows to a halt when producing the videos if I color grade so for now you get default GoPro color.
