1. Winter in Finland - Way to Home
2 years ago
This is a short video (and actually my first ever internet video too;) about me riding back to my home from my day trip and taking some shortcuts through the forests and frozen lakes. Weather was -22,5c and there was 20-30cm of powder snow everywhere. Basically I was testing the bike and some gears for my longer trip later this winter.

I just love that white stuff! :D

    Next time, make shure that you have a longer way home! This is way to good to be so short :D
  • -W- 2 years ago
    Actually it was ment to be a little bit longer, but I ran out of battery & tape from my camera (and missed all the best parts of this ride of course).

    Maybe I'll have to find my charger and buy some new tapes..? ;)

    I was taught to lift my F650GS by first flipping down the kickstand so you don't have to do it when it's already up (depending on what side it was laying on) and then by lifting with your back to the bike, like you're doing a standing squat. I always found that quite a bit easier than trying while facing the bike. :)

    Looks like it handles pretty well in the snow! What camera did you use for this?
  • -W- 2 years ago
    That is excelent advice in generelly!

    Normally I just lift the bike, hop on and go. In this case I realized while lifting that I was standing much lower than the bike was and I just couldn't hop on from that side (barely managed to lift the bike like you see) - I had to flip down the kickstand after lifting bike which was a bit tricky;)

    But I thought it was funny and that's why I put that to this video also:D


    This was filmed with Sony HDR-HC7 which was having Sony's VCL-HG0737C wide angle lens.

    dude, that's awesome! How'd you get that Ken Burns effect on the vid? Final Cut? It really looks good, like you have a dolly. Ride on bro!
  • -W- 2 years ago
    If you mean that low speed "zoom in/out" effect, that and whole video was edited in Premiere (but I guess you can do that pretty much with every software).

    In Premiere go (after you have put the clip to time frame) "effect controls" -> "motion" -> "position & scale".


    Ps. I love your "VIOLA-TING AMERICA" thread at Advrider! ;)
  • viola-tor 2 years ago
    Cool, thanks! I'm gonna give that a try for the next movie project. That snow riding is some crazy stuff... Looks fun!

    Congratulations for this video, you are ready for your long trip, sure !!!
    If you like visit our Spanish Trail page, also with some videos, about Pyrenees in tranki-trail.spaces.live.com

    Fantastic!!
  • -W- 1 year ago
    Well I'm not still quite ready for the "long trip", but I'm getting there day by day;)

    Today I actually hit the personal "coldness record" by driving to work at -31,5c. Okay otherwise but I think I need to duck tape the upper frame of my goggles to the helmet because I started to felt that my forehead is going to freeze if the distance would have been much more than about 30km (which is distance from my home to work).


    Those trail pages seems interesting to me (even if I don't understand Spanish that much). I'm planning to visit Spain and do some trail riding at some day in future, so thanks for the hint!

    Tosi hieno pätkä! Ei pelkästään ajamisen vaan myös kuvaamisen ja leikkaamisen kannalta. Yleensä en tykkää Ken Burns -efektistä videoissa, mutta tässä se toimii erittäin hyvin.

    Looked at all 3 video (linked from ADV). Great work. Nice angles and clips, as well as audio mix from music to live audio. Makes the viewer feel like they are there. Keep it up.
