Weekend Getaway: Dron vs. MTB [4K]

in Video on Share 0 42 Views

 

I can’t believe I’ve been postponing this for so long. My dear friend Filip has been talking me into riding with my mountain bike while he films it with a racing drone. Two weeks ago, he asked me the same question he’s been asking for the last year and a half: “when are we going filming?”. But this time I said – “Today. Hope your batteries are full.”

So we went to the place everybody knows our name. Sljeme mountain (actually Medvednica – Sljeme is the peak) is a fast booming mountain biking mecca. Dozens of trails gather more and more mountain bikers, and with the cable car launching next year, it will only get better. This video is a small fragment of what Sljeme has to offer, shot on popular Rodea and Enduro trails. Hope you enjoy it!

Shot with GoPro HERO 8 (2.7K@60) stabilized with ReelSteady and upscaled to 4K in post. The bike in the video is Kona Process 153 CR DL 29.

Zagreb Cycling: Smooth Jazz Edition [4K 24 FPS Cinematic]

in Ride Video on Share 0 39 Views

 

And now, something totally different. Inspired by Silk Milk’s Solitude Ride series (you should check out his YouTube channel) I made this cinematic style video of my favorite city cycling route.

Cycling turned out to be a perfect activity for this quarantine situation. As I mentioned, my friend Silk calls his series “Solitude Ride”, but sometimes also rides with a couple of people. The most important thing is keeping the distance, and of course riding carefully, because you really don’t want to end up in a hospital during times like this.

The video was shot with the GoPro Hero 6 and a gimbal.

Hope you like it and stay safe everybody!

 

Grmošćica Downhill November 2017

Grmošćica is a downhill track in Zagreb, Croatia. Since it is late autumn, it is covered in slippery leaves, but on the upside, the surrounding is just beautiful. I’m super happy with color grading in this video. Adding a few filters in Premiere Pro really made the colors pop-up on the Protune footage taken with my Hero4 Session.

Drivers: (* both behind me because they didn’t know the track – the will be featured in on of the future videos):
Dino Trojak – YT Industries Jeffsy 27 CF (2017)
Marko Hrastovac – YT Industries Jeffsy 27 AL (2017)
and me on Kona Process 134 DL (2016)

Sljeme: Four Seasons

in Ride on Share 0 23 Views

There is a saying in the Croatian language “Veljača premetača”, describing that the weather in February is crazy. That’s even more prominent in the mountains. Starting from approximately 150 m above sea level, climbing to just about over 1000 m, and going back to 150 m, we changed all four seasons; from sunny Zagreb to snowy and muddy Sljeme Mountain. Not only that, a big part of Sljeme is still covered with leaves, looking like the middle of autumn.

It was also the first proper ride of the year, meaning that we finally did at least 50 km with a mountain bike. We wanted to take a different route but had a change of heart at the top. And boy, are we glad we did. Even dough it was Saturday, there were only a few hikers in our way, and the track is pretty diverse and fun to drive.

The only thing I kind of regret is not going faster. My friend (leading the way) was kind of careful, having just recently fallen from the bike, and I didn’t feel like pushing it. I felt I was going to about 30% of the capabilities of the bike, but It’d be a shame to end the season on the first ride. Besides, the will be more opportunities all season long.

Slow TV: Cycling in Kranjska gora (Vršič – Bovec)

in Ride Video on Share 0 45 Views

 

To prove a point 2016 wasn’t so bad at all, here’s a video of an epic bike ride in Kranjska gora (Slovenia) from the Five and Shoutem team building last autumn. Honestly, this one is probably one of ma favorite bike rides ever, and definitely the best cycling session, since I never ever do cycling… At least, I didn’t till now, but after this, I’m really giving it a thought to sell my city bike and exchange it with a real road bike.

To be perfectly honest, this bike (rental) wasn’t really set up properly (hence the paranoid checking few minutes into the video, when the weird noise started appearing), and it wasn’t my size, but I had a ton of fun with it.

If you’re wondering, the data was plotted on the video in the application called DashWare (previously a paid app, and now free, after it was acquired by GoPro). It was all shot with GoPro Session. Data was recorded with iPhone 6S.

Slow TV

Anyway, look at this video like one of those slow TV things from Norway, watching it makes at least as much sense.

Enjoy
