Not bad, the more you ride the better you get. We have similar forest roads here in Estonia, except those huge rocks are not in the road
What tires do you have? Looks like more road oriented cause you didnt have any traction on wet grass/dirt. I recommend Mitas E09 or Michelin T63 for that kind of roads(or tkc80 front tire, more expensive but little bigger knobs than other two). I think your friend had such tires according to the pattern on road. What did he ride? Also I recommend to put camera angle more upward to see more of the trail. Don't want to watch the fuel tank

Thanks for the sub man! =)

Got some Metzeler Sahara 3, they came with the bike and away at work right now so not 100%, but only 99% sure of the brand/name

My friend rode an old Kawasaki 600, not sure of his tires either Will buy more dirt/gravel oriented tires when i get another bike, right know i ride mostly on the road with this one so dont want to take that leap just yet:/

Yeah, that angle sucks, was a bit annoyed when i got home and had 4-5 hours of footage of my pegs, crotch and tank! So will adjust a bit upwards and check it more often on the app from now on But hey, first times are for learning! =)

Being so slow on learning to edit the movies i have a gravel video on the way aswellm should be out within the week! =)

As regards to the camera angle, you also need to look further up the trail, easier said than done when new to off-roading as you tend to worry about what is right in front of you, it will come with practice and then you will find it easier to pick a line in advance too

Hey!
Yeah was quite afraid riding the trail so stared to much at the wheel, but it will make the videos look better later when you can see a biiig improvement in a year or so! =)

Editing a new video of a gravel run the same day, still a bit sucky camera angle but liiiitle bit better atleast! =)
