I was at Crankworx this year for a couple days of riding. I was testing out my Follow-Cam and bumped into Shaums March and he was curious to see what the footage looked like after seeing me ride by in the park. I showed him the footage and I convinced him to give it a go.

The video below is Shaums doing a run of Dirt Merchant following a 13 year old ripper named Blaze.

That is awesome, loving the angle! Shaums seems like such a nice guy, and Blaze is a very promising young racer! (just want to point out that blaze borrowed my bike (as in vid) for a few days to race canadian open on it… it was a bit big for him, but he still ripps).

Very awsome; both Shaums and Blaze get HUGE air on some of those jumps!

follow cam is working well dean, is that still the original one you made or have you been working on it and you still using the ts1?

This is the 3rd iteration of my design with some tweaks for additional stability. I figure if it can survive Whistler, it can survive almost anywhere. This was filmed with my TS-1.

I agree. Lock that design up and market it Dean. Great demo video you got there as well, Shaums might want that for his coaching. :)

hol-ee shit but that's a big hole :eek:

This. And if you want, I give you permission to use the Rio video for the marketing campaign. I'll just need a small fee.
