How I lost 2 GoPro Cameras in 1 Second (and how you can find them)

- If you can find my lost GoPro mini, it will be downstream of the Horse Shoe boat ramp on the French Broad, hopefully caught up in something. Send a picture of the actual boat with everything attached on instagram @sethsbikehacks .
Originally we were making a video about the new Hero11 Mini, but we lost that thing with all the footage on it. In hindsight this would have been easy to avoid, but my mind was elsewhere.

Sick that catch surf got the rc surfer in there
Send it to someone who won't trash your stuff and take the partnership for granted

It would be awesome if you could put gps inside gopro
@@dadlife8289 just say you are poor and want handouts for nothing.
Honestly if Seth wasn't the physical embodiment of controlled chaos, he'd have less subscribers. Not as an insult, it's just what makes him unique, he's a risk taker, a do-er, and mischievous, I love it.
Lol bro he's a TH-camr so course he does these things for the views
Is this the only TH-camr you watch? It certainly seems so by this comment.
No, this is what happens when you don't have to pay for stuff, he doesn't care enough to want to think it through, it's not his money.
Lol it's all good no haters allowed.
@@CowneloAlvaroid nah mate.... he's a top bloke and acts 100% normally for someone on the autism spectrum
Still one of the safest things Seth has ever done.

hhahaahhahahaha
This makes me think back 30 odd years. A guy in my unit but an RC B29. It was massive. 8 to 10 feet long with 4 engines massive. We just happened to catch him loading it up for his first flight and followed him to the range to watch. He spent a good 45 min getting ready. Re checking and doing all kinds of stuff before the flight. Warmed it up. Took off, got up to about 75 feet high. Banked right then lost radio. It just flew away. Higher than the trees. Being a big ass plane it had like 45 min of fuel in it. He watched it fly until we couldn't see it. Then just packed up his stuff and went home. He didn't say a word, but looked like he had been nut punched.
This one hits...
@@i8screaminmoose like a B29 into your house
before I got married, one of my first dates with the now ex wife was to the local park to try my RC plane. It was made of a hodge podge of parts, a Pringles can and the tail and nose from a foam glider. Rubber bands etc.. anyway I had it trimmed in the back yard and ready to try. So we went down there and there were a bunch kids watching all this for the first time. I told her to gently toss it forward/level. She Nolan Ryaned the thing into the ground 10 feet from where she stood and into a hundred pieces. I went and gathered all the pieces while the kids pointed and laughed and went back home. I should have known then. Trust your instincts...
@@aceprater5397 my wife throws the exact same way .... shiiit
hahaha damn thats a bitch, that thing was probably expensive as hell especially back then.
It happens to the best of us Seth. Hopefully they will be recovered... in working condition.
I'm the best of us, and it's never happened to me.
Happened when I was like 7, I cried :(
Top tip from someone who likes crashing drones:
You can use a bluetooth scanner on your phone to help find a gopro for like 8 hours after it turned on
The camera shots and films that went through evolution of Seth's bike hacks to Berm Peak And Berm Peak Express is truly Remarkable, as Always take it easy
Ayo, i think i recognize you from somewhere
What sits the “express mean”? I’m new to the channel.
@@jmreagle Berm Peak Express is Seth's second TH-cam channel.
You know, I don't really mtb a whole lot anymore, but I still watch and look forward to all of Seth's videos. "I hope you at least found this entertaining"... Yes as always lol
Same here. I only pull my bike out for commuting and some single track with the boys
Go pro camera's available DM above👆,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,
Videos like this always remind me of what my grandfather used to say, “A smart man learns from his mistakes. A wise man learns from other men’s mistakes.” Thanks for the lesson.
Hey Seth! just wanted to let you know that your channel has been and will continually be one of my favorite videos to look forward to every weekend! Keep up the great content as always! long time viewer!
This literally is what happened to me with my last drone!😭 i was ready to jump in after it, shirt was off, i was sprinting towards the river, then something clicked in my head and i stopped and decided that it was gone…. At least your boat floats!!! The Dji mini 2 does not😅
lost my gopro karma drone when it ran into a branch and bounced into a river, i waded waist deep for a while, but it was really cold, fast, and very muddy so i got out, didnt find it...
The nice thing about Seth is that he doesn’t ask for subs or likes he just does cool stuff and I love it keep doing mtn biking
Seth, thank you very much for a little bit of ALL OF US! Doesn't matter the project, the ride, or the Xmas present we "think" they'll be amazed with.... you nail it every time - Thanks, man 😋
Love you’re videos Seth keep up the good work
Honestly this is hilarious. No one else doing a review has a mishap like this, and it makes these more fun to watch. But hope you get a new mini to test because it looks like a great camera.
This was awesome, and although it stinks your gear is lost, you still made an incredible video from it!! Thanks for sharing your highs and your lows!!
And gopro now knows to send him 2 next time.
Seth, we love the trail bulding videoes. We know that ther is a lot of work with them but we need them now!😊
You see, this is the perfect illustration of why, when going out biking, you should ALWAYS bring your kayak along as well!
Can’t wait for a follow up video in 5 years “I found two GoPros at the bottom of this river”
Wish I had known about this when it happened. I live nearby and whitewater kayak so I could have looked for it. After more than a week it's probably either way downstream or at the bottom of the river. I've seen footage recovered from GoPros found years after they were lost so you never know, though.
Might make you feel better:
Mate bought a new whitewater kayak after being explicitly told not to by his wife, because Reasons.
Bought it anyway, took his telling off like a big boy. Wrote his home ph in it Just In Case. Almost immediately lost it on the river.
How do you hide this mistake? (Take a moment here to imagine yourself in this situation)
Buy another one of course!
A few days later she got a call at home, someone found the kayak. “Not ours, I can see it on the car.”
“Well this one has your number in it…”
She did a 400km+ round trip to collect it, and left it tied on the roof as a “please explain”.
Some say the incident is still brought up to this day if he foolishly ever says “no, because Reasons”.
“Some” is only two people. One complains how unfair it is. The other brags of getting 20 years and counting of having things their way.
Seth, that's what makes you so great, you post your failures along with your successes. If the interwebs only showed successes we'd all have unreasonable expectations of how life is supposed to go for us. Thanks.

i love this story telling format
I'm so sorry for you Seth, I know EXACTLY what you feel like. I lost my first GoPro, a HERO7 White a bought off a friend for 20 bucks while surfing, like a year ago now. thankfully for my birthday, my parents got me a HERO10. I am so thankful because i was so devastated when I lost it
Glorious. Keep us updated.
thanks for uploading ! this will help people be safer with stuff
much love , tokes and cheers
A very entertaining video, incredible to see how you are evolving to the Seinfield of MTB.
I sympathise with the unexpected loss of expensive tech.
Imagine that you're one of an elderly couple sat on a bench atop a cliff looking out to sea. Over the next 10 minutes a motorbike parks up and a guy with a large backpack gets off, opens the backpack and pulls out a giant controller. Followed by one of those new drone things. He sets up and takes off. The drone hovers stationary, then he tests it by moving left, right, up and down. Seemingly satisfied he sends the drone out over the cliff.
At this point, you may be wondering if he's going to get some nice video footage.
What you're probably not expecting is for the drone to travel about 20 feet horizontally, and then slowly and gracefully decend the 200ft from the cliffs into the sea below. If you could tear your eyes away from the spectacle you may notice the look of confusion on the operators face. Instead you'd just watch as the drone stops just above the water and is instantly swallowed by the next passing wave. The operator wordlessly packs away his controller, mounts his motorcycle and rides away as you stare at him in absolute bafflement.
And that's how I lost a Parrot Bebop which no longer wanted to fly.
Idk if u read this Seth but like 6 months ago i watcher a vid of super rider and he said why ur the best TH-camr
So I went on ur channel for the first time and was amazed when u fixed up bikes and gave them to people
I love ur trail building vids and every time I get a notification on my phone to one of ur vids I can’t stop watching it.
Ur channels amazing and u really make my day
Thx Seth for all ur hard work 👍👍👍😊😊😊😃😀
Hey Seth, could you make a chain from chain whips? Just curious how it would perform
the surfer dude keeps it floating up right. those surfer rc boats are super cool in the waves and jump a good 5 feet
As a 6 year drone pilot, I’ve learned the loss lesson several times, although by minor miracles and diligence, I’ve always recovered them… damaged, but fixable (thank you hiking Mennonite family who happened to see my drone in a forced descent in Seneca Rocks, WV). What I’ve learned is, a crash is always a factor, but recovery is key. First, drone insurance w/ State Farm. Next things, label with name and contact info, contact info on SD card, AirTag or Google SmartTag. Obviously, testing in flat water. Seems like the times I’ve lost my drone, I had no cell service, no satellite imagery, late in the day, far from home, etc. I’m a kayaker, so I might have had a boat with me. I didn’t begin learning a combat roll in class III/IV whitewater.
Always enjoy the content, what could go wrong 😂
This video was hilarious and well made.Your reaction was priceless.

always look forward to a new berm peak express video!
Thanks for sharing one of your"moments" with us. It happens. I once decided to ride with my Note 9 with the screen facing out in my pocket to help reduce the screen coming on and the phone doing things. Welp, I crashed and smashed the screen real good. I did not think things through. 😂🤦♂

You are the only one who's videos are so good that I always like them even before I watch it!
I did find it entertaining Seth, sorry for the loss or something :D Seriously though, I bet someone finds it and brings it back.
I'm glad you didn't jump. The current of the river seems to be really strong. Thanks for showing us all the silly, funny mistakes :)
I was looking for this. That current was too strong to swim against.
Probably the most entertaining Seth's video...
Seth that was amazing how fast you capsized it and lost the got pros! All that in a squeeze of a trigger
Huh, with the loss of GoPro's in water bodies, Seth’s channel is looking a lot more like mine lately…
Better to have loved and lost than to never have loved at all! The romance was short but intense!!!
For what it might be worth, I recently added a set of high viz stickers to my GoPro max thinking it’ll make it just a little easier to find if it goes down. I wish they made a floaty for it like other GoPros but I’m sure that’d be tricky since it’s a 360 camera. Fingers crossed you get yours back!
Random question, what kind of label maker do you use? You seem to like it and we want to get a similar one.
Wow! Sorry all that happened, but repeat after me, “righting moments”. It’s the flip side of putting your weight on your pedals when going over rough stuff. To stay upright, lower your center of gravity. What happened to your surf board is the same thing that happened to the Mary Rose way back when. And those were people who really thought they knew how to build a ship. They put cannons way too high above the water line. You just did the same with a camera on a tall arm. Oh well 😂, you’re the best always and you do and achieve so much that this is just water under the bridge …😅 The biggest loss is the Frenchie, but I guess you can make another 👍🏼. Thanks for all you do!
Like a MTB Buddha . Presenting the good with the bad while sharing a overall positive view of life.
Now I want a GoPro Mini even more..
Yeah bro I immediately thought that boat/sup thing was not wide enough to handle the top heaviness of those cameras. Especially the tall one.
Please give us an update when/if the cameras and the boat gets returned
seth, where did you get that chin mount?
I hope you get it back. Will the footage survive this? I don't know anything about these things,. Obviously I enjoy watching the results
One of the funniest videos thanks
If the cameras get recovered in perfect condition this will be the best ad gopro could've asked for
It's already a pretty good GoPro ad 🧐
Seth you have no idea how much I can relate to you on this. I too lost one of my new go pros in our local river a few years back. It's such a *sinking* feeling knowing you can't do much about it. Best of luck finding it
This is the best review
hope you find it! wish I could take my kayak out to look.
I didn’t know the French Broad River had so much garbage. Two times I was in Brevard the whole family did tubing excursions/tour. Didn’t see garbage and the river seemed pretty clean.
The hurricane won't have helped the cleanliness...
I feel you. Just recently lost a GoPro. Sat it down after fixing the chain on my bike and forgot to pick it up. By the time I got back to where I left it, someone else took it. Bummer.
Rip, Glad you didnt jump in. We had a guy fall in the water (like over his head deep) while RC crawling last weekend. It was only like 20 degrees F outside. Dude was a trooper he went home took a shower, and came back out to crawl with us for another couple hours. Dont think he would have been able to swim down a river though, that does not seem like a good idea.
That…was…Awesome!🤘🏻
can you imagine the 360 cameras footage of seth as the boat flipped into the river..... lol sorry for your loss.
that frenchie is going for one hell of a ride upside-down
I think I learned something today!
Wow Seth. Are you guys really hurting for water access down there? That river is about the last place I would pull a stunt like that. But then here I am in my NH office looking a the lake that I live on. The ski boat is put away but the pontoon is still ready to rip. A couple canoes, some kayaks...
Very entertaining, note to Seth - do a test float first 😂, hope someone finds it & you get it back 🤟
If it ever gets returned, two tips.
Fill the hull with expanding foam and create an epoxy block sticking off the tail about 3cm² with a couple of degrees of down. The board will no longer skip like a stone at speed.
oh... cool, I mean i feel you bro, I happen to have this sort of luck too... BUT i need to check if there are any Seths in my area 😂
You should put more videos like this on the main channel, I find these types of videos way more entertaining
Is the French Broad really that dirty? I paddled it near that same access last summer and it didn't seem too bad.
Made my day
Next time attach things like this with transparent fishing wire, so you can pull it back no matter what will happens.
Or at least put your name and number on it.
Worked for a friend of mine with his r/c glider plane. He went to far and high out of range, the wind carried it a mile away to some guys backyard.
Wow. Unfortunately boat capsized. I'm sorry 4 your loss. I just discovered very cheap macro hack applicable to any action camera.
I really hope whoever finds it finds a video of Seth throwing it in and freaking out as it capsizes.😂😂
You should reach out to Tile and Apple AirTag and put them on things like this, or inside an expensive bikes’ seat tube or anything you want to be able to track. They rely on another Tile or Apple device with Bluetooth to update their location, but especially with Apple since every other person has an iPhone it’ll come up quick!
As for the bike, I think getting it inside the frame means a thief won’t realize it’s getting tracked too. Just be sure you can pull out your seatpost or BB or fork steerer and shake it back out of the frame when comes time to replace the battery ha
If you weren't so far from me I would totally be down for a rescue mission!
Sorry for your loss.
Reminds me of a film that the National Film Board of Canada made called Paddle to the Sea. It's worth a watch :)
Wow that was difficult to watch. It happens you were excited to try it out.
I was probably 13 or 14 and had just been gifted my first RC car, a proper one, the Tyco Rebound. All of my cousins and brother were there, super excited to see the thing roll down the street. I turn it on, get familiar with the controls and peel off incredibly fast. At this point it was far from us and we could barely see it, so I decelerate and start a U turn…immediately the car goes out of range, gets stuck with the throttle open, and goes into a water drain. Never saw it again.
From a creator aspect, there should have been someone with a drone recording the whole thing that could have followed to see if it got stuck somewhere. Probably on its way to the ocean tho. Anything on the sd cards to identify the owner ?
Way to go Homie...DOH!!
This was most deffs something different... but kinda the same!😂❤️
Such a crappy thing to have happened. But im sure itll be found and returned!❤️
So Seth learned that when he does this again.... and he will... mount a camera to the bottom so when it tip over he can still see where it is going till it gets out of wifi range and maybe an airTag, I'm sure he has 10 in a box somewhere.
Seth you got a decent video out of it giving you a lifetime of ever-growing income... don't be too bummed! 😁🤘🏼🤙🏼
Go pro camera's available DM above👆
should have kept on the throttle and used the propeller as a fan to direct it. like one of those air boats.
That is something I would do glad I'm not alone hope someone finds it for you.
0:16 - 0:17
“I’m capable of thinking things through - but I don’t”
This sounds like me 🤦🏻♂️😅🤣
Omg this video describes me perfectly! Lmao were like the same when it comes to stuff
Off topic, but kinda not. Seth can you do an experiment on the GoPro replacement plan as someone other than Seth. I have 2 broken cams and I have tried to use this service I have been subscribed to for year without any luck. The battery ignited when the pull tab broke off when I was removing the battery from my go pro.
Dang thing was top heavy I'm glad you really didn't lose the real French bulldog
I am patiently waiting for the feel good story where someone rings you up and reunites you and your RC surfboard.
I saw Sam Pilgrim also got one of these and his broke on its first go but luckily he got it back. Hopefully gopro sort you out replacement cameras, maybe not the surfboard though as it's a gopro destroyer.
Intro clip was hilarious at least!
Those Kyosho surfers are really cool.
Hey Seth, sad that you lost those gopro's, but will we ever see you having an DH bike? Enjoy your day!
You should try a Scott ransom mountain bike my dad just got one and there awesome
Also too top heavy, if you added aome buoys to level it out. I sympathize, that would've been really cool had it been successful, best of luck getting it back.
"This river's normally for transporting garbage" - LOL.
Reminds me of "paddle to the Sea" but without the forethought.
Probably not the smartest thing I have ever seen you do..... but maybe not the dumbest thing either LOL! Love you brother!
LOL!!! :)
