A lot of videos out there are created by people with years of MTB experience, showing them flying down the trails at an insane speed, jumping, and gapping features not even remotely gappable for normal human beings.

Being relative new to bike park style mountainbiking, this is my attempt to show beginners, that it is possible to have fun in the park as long as you do not try to compare yourself with others.

This is a video of the Flow Country Trail at Geißkopf MTB Zone in Germany. It is ridden on my Cannondale Trail SL2 hardtail, which I have retrofitted with a 120mm RockShox Yari (Charger 2.1 RCT3) fork. The trail does have a fair amount of breaking bumps but is easily managable on a short travel hardtail.

This video is missing the last 1 minute of my ride.

This video is recorded with a DJI Osmo Pocket 1, mounted high on the shoulder strap of a backpack. The Gimbal mode is set to Tilt-Lock Slow Follow, with the tilt manually adjusted before beginning the ride. For future videos I will try with fast follow, to see if it will limit the effect of the camera looking over the edge of the berms.
