The footage was filmed with my improvised small security camera lens, hooked to an expensive camera strapped in a backpack.
Used by people you trust to do their best not to break it๐

I have found a bit of helmet cam (pre Go Pro) footage on my Hi8 tapes, of a little dirt jump spot Hackham way.
Can anyone pick this rider?
