Hi all, been a member for a bit but not super active... so thought I'd introduce myself and post my first gopro clip I got last week! I know some other DTers on here (I'm only posting this clip since Italo didn't make fun of it, so I guess it's alright :wink: ). And I heckle Mudd for being on the forums all day, but now here I am :lol:

Anyways, I got a bit tired of plodding around the local north county trails on a 42# bike... so I recently built up a Banshee Spitfire. It's a killer little 5" airsprung trailbike that has got me more amped then ever on riding. I'm running a 55 rc3 ti, rp23, reverb, flats, and 1x10... and it's just shy of 32lbs :thumbsup:

Here's a little clip on Nascar with it, still babying some hits but the bike loves to point it. Sorry to add to the stockpile of Nascar clips, and look forward to meeting some of you on the trails!

-Tanan

Is it just me or does the GoPro make everything look like it's flat?

Right?

The box drop looked like a curb cut. Or maybe it's Dirtsurfers riding that makes it look so eazy.

the funny thing is i had set myself up for the disappointment that it would turn out looking slower than molasses, which wasn't so bad... but my god the gopro makes everything look like a stroller path! :roll: i have a whole new respect for all the gnarly clips i've seen now :shock:
