Great racing bro. I saw Eric go down. Ouch. VK is always a good time

[@MigsMTB]

Thanks! Still a long way to go, especially on the straights. The roadies love those.

[@tsgarage2382]

That's a tight race everyone very close

[@stephenhookephotography8669]

Love the video. What camera system and software did you use for this race analytics?

[@MigsMTB]

Thank you! Main camera is a Gopro8. Rear is a Gopro4. The video itself was edited on Davinci Resolve and then the software to embed the video with the GPS unit data (gpx file) is Garmin Virb.

[@MigsMTB]

[@avilio42]

Finally got my bike! Can’t wait for all this craziness to go away, so I can start riding the trails 🚵🏻‍♂️

[@MigsMTB]

@@avilio42 ride the levee in the meantime I guess!

[@avilio42]

Yeah I’ve been putting some miles in around my community For the mean while. Dale catch u In the trails soon 🤙🏻

How do you get into this sport? I went there last week and loved it. Rented a bike just to see if I would like it and did. So what do you think is a great starter bike?

[@shinigamigame]

Polygon bikes

[@MigsMTB]

Any bike is a good bike to start, just invest a bit more and don't get anything from Walmart or Target. I suggest not going too fancy as you start. Many people think that will make them better riders but the truth is you learn to understand how you feel with a bike and what you like, when you are actually not on the best one. That will make you a better rider eventually. I'd start with a hardtail from a good brand, you can get them used for a good price. Everything depends on budget.

[@rodrigogamboa7533]

How many km did you ride?

[@MigsMTB]

This race is around 6.2 miles (~10 km) each lap. My category does two laps. Next cat does 3 laps, experts do 4.

[@tsgarage2382]

who ever passed you at the 25 min mark made you look like mary poppins

[@MigsMTB]

Lol. Yeah I am not fast out of the trails, too many roadies. I catch up to people inside the trails. Got him at 27:00 but it was the end of the trail and then he 'gone again.

[@tsgarage2382]

@@MigsMTB oh you were doing great I watched the whole video , it was just odd to see him come out of no where with that speed when you an everyone in front had such a good pace, I was thinking why isn't that guy in first place from the start. Looking forward to more video's an watching some of your older ones.

[@MigsMTB]

@@tsgarage2382 thanks. I will start adding more videos of other places I've been to. Not many races though, they've all been cancelled/postponed due to the virus now. I only recently started recording the races.

[@tsgarage2382]

@@MigsMTB yeah some races are postponed most races in the PNW wont be going till june an later, I hope to have my first season an try to get it on video, not many people upload full races, I find it very interesting to see other places an watch other riders.

[@tsgarage2382]

I went back an watched at normal speed so it was the 2x speed that really made that guy look fast, lol ops
