How NOT to Ride a Mountain Bike

Nothing went right with this one, from riding, to filming, to video upload. Let's laugh about it!
I rode one of my favourite trails and quickly turned it into a laughable ride.
Wet conditions and my questionable skills made what should have been an action movie, at least in my head, a real comedy!
I was gradually riding worse and worse. Some wet roots and rocks, a bit of mud, near misses and big crash in this video. On top of that, I forgot to check my camera settings and filmed only in 1080p without the ultra wide angle and TH-cam f**ks up during the upload, therefore the crappy image quality, sorry for that... What a disaster!

If you have any clue why I lose so much quality during the upload on TH-cam, please let me know and I will try to upload it again. It's only 1080p but looks waaay better before the upload.

I'm not a youtuber but its most likely due to your bit rate and also possibly the file type, look up on google the best settings for youtube videos and that should point you in the right direction

@@vicchippie Thank you. Yes I read some threads about correct codecs and bitrates which seems ok in this case. I also read that YT purposedly degrades 1080p videos… Next time I shall check my camera settings before dropping (crashing) in 🤷🏼‍♂️
