During our annual trip to Tennessee we all decided rather than make the trip multiple times to ride, an hour and a half each way, we would just get a cabin and we could ride right from the front door. Got a cool little cabin for a couple nights and hit the trails. The other SxS has some ground clearance issues and had to be winched out a few times. Otherwise, everything went well. Even my bonehead mistake of flying blindly over a hill and stuffing the right front wheel into a cross rut.

There's a ton of gopro footage but it'll take a while to narrow down 30 hours or so of video to a few minutes (https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20190228/d861dcc69bf535a6cac9817d4f20de59.jpg)(https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20190228/36f6ffe78dd70fdf7af02e33a590fd4e.jpg)

Looks like good, clean fun. Without the clean of course! :funny:

It was a blast. Like always.
Here is the only video I took that wasn't on the gopros. That rut is huge and thats a vertical drop off on the other side. It had to be winched up.

Great pics, I am itching so bad to buy a summer toy, but I have to hold off for a little while yet.

I got home today. I took a look at some of the GoPro footage. We had three going at all times. I had two on my SxS and one on Cassie's helmet. The SxS had a forward and a rear facing on the roll cage. The forward facing is the new Hero7 Black. Then other two are Hero4 Blacks. I didn't expect that much difference because there never is but there is a huge difference in stability and even color grading. The 7 is way better.

I dont have any experience with the 5 or 6 to be fair. I will post a couple short clips tomorrow zo you can see a difference before I do the editing.

Here is a quick shot on the color grading. You cant tell much from the stability because one is a helmet cam. But maybe you can get an idea just based on how smooth the cage mounted camera is.
The H7 is mounted to the roll cage on the Maverick. The H4 is mounted to Cassie's helmet. I watched the upload version twice. One time it was really low quality and the next time it was fine. Not sure whats up with that. Maybe Vimeo is still processing the video.

Wow, I think that shows a pretty massive difference.
I think I'll invest in a Drone prior to a GoPro, but it's on the list!

I love the helmet cam stuff...always so steady and yet the bike is all over the place.
great pics...did you mean to get your shadow in the one? LOL

The problem with helmet cam is that if you have someone who is constantly looking around like a bobble head, the footage is unusable. My first time out with a helmet cam was like that. No one gave me a heads up. Cassie's first few times, and still now sometimes, we're like that.
Interesting thing about the H7. I had it cage mounted with the front end a little visible. Obviously none of that moves independent from each each other. The camera is fixed with the machine. But when you watch some of the video, you can see the front end moving around some. The footage is smooth though. It's very much gimbal like but without a gimbal. The internal stabilization is very good.
This image here, Jason? If so, I tried my best to get out of the shot. I just couldn't do it and still get the shot. I'm bent over, ducking and teaching in from the side. Just wasnt good enough.

Yeah. I was well aware of the shadow. I almost didn't post it but I like the picture. Most of them were just taken on the fly, trying not to crash at the same time.

I attempted to edit both days in to one video. Didn't happen. Here's day 1. I needed even more time than this just for the first day. And day two was better.

They're not nearly as dangerous as the 60 Minutes episode claimed they were. I rode and raced mine for years and have relatively little brain damage to show for it. If I could find a cherry one today I'd buy it in a heartbeat.

Great Vids Mike!
TS, I'll have to get some pics, but my buddy has a absolutely mint 200x and 250r. We usually take them out once a year for a little rip. I grew up with a Yamaha 225DX, you learned how to ride real quick!

Man, that brings back some memories! I had a 1984, then 1986 200X, but a buddy had a 250R that I rode a bit. I even had the dealer swap my rear tires on the 1986 200X to 250R rear tires before I bought it. They were all a blast to drive, but the 250R - once it got up on the pipe - was really special. I'd love to see some pics.
