So, late in the game, but I finally manage to try this beast of camera. The GOPRO 11. And for MTB video, this version come with some big features. The 10bits colors, hypersmooth 5.0, horizon lock,etc... But for me the two features which are big deals are the new lens mode Hyperview, and of course the new 8 by 7 image sensors. So let's grab the enduro bike, and test those features on some sweet ...

But if you commit to it, you got some steep descent, slippy section in the wet, some part really muddy, not too gnarly for sure, but some challenges without a doubt, and in the dry this awesome mountain bike trail can be really fast and flow also.

How do u edit your videos?
Thank you so much for sharing this! It's nice to see how people actually ride the trails, what's challenging, what is fun
Simpa chère cousin Alex
Merci :) j'avoue je sais pas trop qui c'est :D
@@theslowrider tata m'a dit que tu avais travailler sur avatar la voie de l'eau je l'ai regarder beau travail alex ton couz thomas
@@Tom-Motion ahhhh merci cousin! Je savais pas que tu faisais des vidéo sur UA-cam :)
@@Tom-Motion j’espère que tout va bien de ton côté :)
Really appreciating your videos. I am building up a bike to get back into mountainbiking after about 10 years away. My white beard and gold card suggest I should go looking for trails that will give me fun and a bit of challenge with minimal risk of a major OTB, and your videos help give me a feeling for suitable / unsuitable trails in my area... keep up the good work!
Thanks a lot for your comments mate, really appreciate that. That the goal of my channel, show trails and stuff that are good/fun for anyone, not only crazy good and master skilled rider :)
Great riding in the wet. Some off the best memories are made in the worst of conditions
You absolutely right mate! It was an absolute blast! And that’s the most important 😊
Awesome!
Thanks mate! Race was really good! Glad you enjoyed the video 🙌
@@theslowrider 🏁🤘🤘
30th out of 59 is not to be sneezed at, a decent result. Best thing is to ride your own race, stay rubber side down and as you said have fun. Looking forward to a couple of the enduros when I move up soon
Oh exactly mate, being in one piece at the end of a race is already a victory for me 😊 most important is to enjoy and have fun !
Just a lovely Wellington summers day😂 Some good riding in those conditions bro 👍
Oh yeahhh bloody nice summer condition for that race 😅
Nice bro. The muds good for your skin😁
Thanks bro! Yeah mud is good for skin, but not for my confidence :D Miss riding with you mate!
This was my first race. Had a great day, although terrible riding on my part and interesting weather, still an awesome day! Good stuff man!
Absolutely mate! Really slow on my side, tricky weather, but absolute fun to do 😊, hope you enjoyed the video 😊
@@theslowrider we were in the same category, nice seeing it again from someone a good couple mins ahead of me. Nice video for sure bro.
@@tbc_mtb nice, what year category? I could have been a bit faster, but I was scared AF 😂
@@theslowrider 30-39. I started out with Zacs which was the first time riding that, went a bit sideways early on and after that it was in my head and went really slow for the rest of it. Bummed out but stoked at the same time!
@@tbc_mtb yeah racing under those conditions can be really mind blocking for sure… I didn’t made the race I planned to do, I went way slower than usual… but doesn’t matter tbh, just loved the time on the bike :)
well done, I wouldn't even be there.
Thanks mate, tbh I had this thought flying to my brain in the morning… but I was way over excited to ride my bike so 😀
Was cool too meet u mate and well done on Pōhatu that was like peanut butter and cayenne looking forward to bamba
Pōhatu was good for sure, but I hold the brake even more than usual cause I was really nervous! Bamba will be without me 😭 got plan already 😩
Love the Air Horns... When did you get them fitted. qXD
Came with the bike, and my poor skills 😅
@@theslowrider Shame they didn't run lower Starfish in the wet... That would have sorted the boys from the Men...tally deranged.
@@TheButlerNZ man! I was so into lower starfish! It one of my absolute favorites all time… but last stage for intermediate was swigg which is good but less fun than starfish IMO
@@theslowrider Pre 2019 Starfish had a deep rut down (the tripple straight drop section I think) that you didn't get to choose in the wet... I managed to make it ok over the 1st drop, rear in the grove front right & high on the middle... And summersault to the right on the 3rd section... Luckily I was going slow as it was hard tale and old RST's with Y-brake up front. (and I was around 50 at the time...
What a champ!!! BOBA forever!!!
I wish to be a champ 😂 unfortunately reality is far from that! Love BOBA 😘
Can confirm it WAS a shitty AWESOME day!
you nailed it perfectly, shitty awesome :D
Love the new Lens :D
Same here brother 😊
A fantastic trail and nicely ridden buddy. Thanks for sharing and have a nice Sunday. Ride on🤙
Thanks mate! Indeed it’s an amazing trail! Love those Flowy section, and this rocky bits to spice things up at the end 🙌
That HYPER VIEW will definitely create the illusion of speed vs actual riding speed. I see what ya mean with the warping at the edges making it almost akin to the GP360 being used as a Front Facing camera. That 8:7 ratio is definitely worthy for content creators needing more vertical cropping. A great video bro and i can see some hints of improved talking head camera action ;)
For me the hyperview give you more a true feeling of speed. Even for a slow rider like myself. This warping on the edge is really visible when you pivot your head side to side, but for 85% of the time going straight on the trails it work totally fine. Yeap as you said the 8:7 ratio is something really worthy for multi social network content creator. And thanks for the feedback, I’m feeling better talking to the camera, but audio quality is still pretty bad quality 😅
Great vid bro👍 The sound..... sounds better than the previous GP's. I have recently upgraded to a newer model(not an 11) and for me the sound is still a bit average even with all the stick on/slip on contraptions. Your footage sounds great
Thanks bro! i'm in love with this model tbh, i upgrade from the 8 to the 11, and boy... this is amazing. Now i need to focus on improving the voice over, cause it's still garbage 🤮

NEW SUBSCRIBER HERE BRO!!!YOU RE AMAZING!!!👍👍🔥🔥👍👍
Thanks bro 🙏🙏
Trail looks like a real ripper when it's clean and dry mate... Some good fun to be had there... Nice work on the video in some not so perfect conditions... :D
Yes mate, this one is an absolute blast with dryer conditions 🙌🙌 Thanks man appreciate 👊
Did you actually come back with a shovel like you said? My mates been fixing it up and your ruining it riding day after massive storm - walk it after a storm and help support the trails you love riding dude - they take work
I didn’t had enough time that day to come back 😞 but seen on FB some true hero had fixing it before I had free time to come back. And massive thanks for that work for sure. Dirt was actually not that wet on the day I went so I guess I didn’t do too much damage, hopefully. After seeing the conditions on JB a décide to go on solitary to do a bit of cleaning up, cause as you said , helping on the trail is the proper way to support the local. 🙏
mate great video..........maybe try to do a bit of trail cleaning as well
Thanks mate. As you can see on previous video a did a bit of cleaning on solitary that day. But I reckon I should have done a bit in jail brake too!
I'm stuck at home with a cold so this was the best ride I've gone on in weeks! Washout... A good reason tracks should be sculpted into the ground, not built up on.
True.. but tbh no matter how trails are build it’s always fun to ride on them 🙌🙌
@@theslowrider there are some that are better unmaintained... in fact I have been looking at one that would be perfect... slow, rocky and the longest single run in Wellington. Currently it exists... but is mainly a firebreak so doesn't count... What I would like to do... is start a track at the old Wellington Radar foundations (next to the Radome on hawkins hill. Zigzag down to the right of the intersection of the tip track and Red Rocks track... Shadow the red rocks firebreak to the coast on a (to be created) goat track on the west side of the ridge picking up at the coast for the big rolldown, back of track left missing the uphills then left round the knob above the turn off into the final gulley. The result would be longer than a trip from the top of the tip track to bottom of Pol Hill (Currently I believe, the longest single run with very few pinch hits... I would try and make it as free from pinch hits or flat bits as possible... and on top of that... No maintenance until a part becomes unreadable for single black beginners.. i.e like a continual Wha Out..
@@TheButlerNZ wooo I might have a look at that. I remember once doing the Polhill reserve at start all the way to the coast line at red rock. Nice ride for sure
@@theslowrider Well it doesn't really exist.. Some parts are there (Used to ride to the side on the old trailbikes but long overgrown)... but I just traced it.. A theoretical 5+km run with no uphills... POTENTIAL... Make it janky and it will be a 30 min run (And actually a decent event run with vehicle access top and bottom.)... I've just made it straight for the mo but some more zigs could be added in several spots... I'll pop the KNL on public when I'm done and you can view it on Google earth.
ok actually Barking Emu to Serendipity end in Aro St is 8.5k with 9k potential if the old Radar site (partial old track exists) was run to the top of Barking Emu. My track is only 5.5 but theoretically can be made with no uphill or stages.
Jeez it looks a bit like a war-zone after that storm aye 💥🤣. Such a rad G3
Yeap never saw jail brake like that! Yeap perfect balance for a G3 for sure
Nice flow 👊
Thanks mate 🙏
Nice videos on your channel mate. Also nice work cleaning up the trail for all to enjoy👊. Subscribed 🙂
Thanks man , really appreciate 🙌🙌
Nice one Brah! First time down the trails here after a storm is always a gamble as well... A bit of a sighter lap is always needed Good job on the clean-up mate! :D
Yeap, less speedy run, but at least cleaner trails for the following rider 👌👌
pքɾօʍօʂʍ 😆
On behalf of the oblivious riders after you... Thanx. I just dig out the channels on Koru every now n then.... Less lifting. q8D
Top man for the tidying up bro. Weather certainly hasn't been nice. Great to see alot more vids coming out!
Thanks my man! Whether as been rough for sure! Let hope spring and summer will be too 🙌🙏
Insane weather lately aye bro 🌧🌬
Yes not ideal for riding for sure, but lucky enough to have some clear days in between 😊
Makara was muddy and shit and branches all over
Yeap pretty much like that everywhere… still was good to help a bit cleaning the trails for the next riders 🙌
