mpeg streamclip

Unlike the standard GoPro that recorded in .wma, the GoPro HD are encoded in mpeg4 h.264 format.

A day before I did one of my rides in Bozeman, I went through my camelbak to check all my spare parts. I have made it a habit to carry 2 of everything I might need to at least get me off the trail if anything happens to my bike.

Energetic Diabetic

I am really happy I found this product, and would like to share it with the MTB community.

How many of you know someone with Diabetes?.. Here's my story: When I started riding at the age of 16 … [Read more...]
