Not a bad video bro. Really liked your explanation of your spec / setup at the start. The actual ride POV i found difficult to watch and engage with as it was lacking in stabilization and sound quality (in parts). Not sure what camera version your using but maybe consider an upgrade or mounting point change (ie: Chin Bar /Chesty). That said i can tell your happy with your choice and its definitely a bike i could see myself moving too in the future. Chur ;)
