Soon after starting I got a bad sprain doing a drop off a big boulder, (Clip included at the end) but I had to continue since Patrick (quadcopter pilot) felt he could never make this difficult hike again, so most of the riding you see was with a sprained ankle! And at almost 59, this kind of riding can really take its toll!
Filmed with his DJI Phantom quadcopter with a Gopro Hero 3 black edition, Patrick managed to get some amazingly CLOSE follow shots, at my request, flying only a few feet from me! That was a bit unnerving, but a testament to his awesome flying skills! Shot 7/19/14 in Simi Valley, "Hummingbird" trail is rocky, steep and very technical, and the aerial footage really captures it!
Thanks guys! Yes, my ankle got tweaked pretty good and although I rested it a for a while after the initial sprain, it still was quite painful to ride on, but I felt I might as well continue and riding seemed easier than walking on it at that point!
