Trollstigen

Thanks for all your comments. Two years on, I'd like to share my thoughts on what this video means to me.

First, yes, it's a hand-held camera. Second, the bike is actually off and in neutral for the entire length of the video. Make of that what you will, I see some have :) I'm English so the speedo reads miles per hour.

For me I wanted to share as much of a raw experience as I could, I wanted the viewer to feel what I was feeling. The noise of the wind. The gravity of the landscape alone being the force accelerating me. The quiet from the slow, exposing the sound of the waterfalls coming alive, being replaced by the gravity and wind again.

It is impossible to convey what it is like to ride a motorbike to another who has not, though perhaps with headphones and full screen, this gives an honest view. There is no sound track or 3rd person perspective. You, the road, the landscape, and time. The pleasure of directly interacting with one's surroundings which, for me, is what motorbikes are all about.

This was part of a ride from UK to the top of Arctic circle, that looped around the Baltic Sea, through Russia and down into Poland via Kaliningrad. You can read it all here: http://advrider.com/index.php?threads/tour-of-scandinavia-and-the-baltic-states.896881/
