My first bike drop - caught on camera. What an IDIOT!

[DeltaLima]

So, I did think twice about posting this - being so new to the forum... but then I thought, sod it - it'll probably give everyone all they need to know about what level of rider I am at the moment... haha.

Anyway the story goes something like this; I'm in the middle of making a vlog and find myself at a nice little beach. I stop for an ice-cream and put my helmet next to me on a bollard. I realised the camera is still on and think to myself 'I'll edge forward to get a nice little shot of me eating my ice cream in the sun.'

Like the idiot I am, as I move forward - I accidentally flip the stand up... you can guess the rest.

5:47 if you can't be bothered to watch the whole thing

That's unforgivable. It's a crime against biking. It's clumsy and stupid.

No, I'm not talking about your drop! I'm talking about Vlogging in general. Don't worry about dropping the bike. Everone has done it. It probably won't be the last time you do it either.

Anyway, back to my original point. Is there any phrase more depressing than "motovlogger"?

People don't want to see videos of people getting angry because a car cut them up or because a cyclist ran a red light. People would rather watch videos of stunts or something that other people can't do on bikes IMO. Obviously this is just a personal opinion, but I think it's fairly widely held on this forum.

Anyway, now I've done destroying your ego and self esteem... Welcome to the forum!

You didn't drop your bike by riding it. You didn't even drop your bike by having it hit into by another vehicle. You dropped it whilst eating an ice cream.

An ice cream.

AN ICE CREAM.

Hahaha serves you right chump. Vlogging is sad as Fuck, the fact it's called Vlogging is annoying too. Just says to me you don't actually enjoy riding otherwise that's what you'd be doing, not driving around moaning at cagers.

And how more "in the shot" could you possibly want to be, your directly in the middle of the shot.

I had the sound down so I didnt hear any Vlogging but the drop. Silly. Everyone knows you should eat the ice cream before moving your motorcycle. The combination of cone and grip is a bad combo.

Oh, you did not!

Did you just make all that, I want to be more in the shot, thing up after you dropped it?

Took balls to post this IMO.

You are still a tit though

It's a quirk of BCF. We've had wave after wave of self-aggrandising 'vloggers' (hideous term) trying to use our userbase to increase their viewing numbers, without realising what a complete shower of feculent nobs they really are.

The sad thing in all this is that you started out so well; you made the perfect 'hi, this is me' intro thread, you seemed to fit in, then your deviant recording habits are exposed. I suppose the next thread you start will be the one that outs you as a furry, now.

Its times like this I wish Youtube had a fast forward button.

That video would be a total "Nil points" event apart from the fact that you dusted the icecream off and continued to eat it.

So you get +1 hellkat-point for eating food with dirt on it

I think the success of v-logging comes down to having an amusing voice and a sharp bit of wit/delivery. It's not so much what is said but how it's said. A bit like some comedians who can say anything about anything and make it funny (Sean Locke for one, in my wholly subjective opinion).

Which is why my Drift is now collecting dust.

Maybe it's just me but I found that vlog quite funny. I was laughing along in my office.

We've all done it - what's worse is when you have a disk lock on and you forget and try and ride off.. you're brain gets very confused and then suddenly remembers as you fall over sideways and faceplant the floor.

BTW is the bike on top of you as you're picking the bike up? It looked like you were pinned.... that's what made me laugh even more ha ha.... Nice one.

I could understand if you were riding round a bend and slid out on a stray ice cream in the middle of the road... but really?!?

Yet to find a camera wannabe that doesn't irritate me. You are no different.

Your voice is annoying

You chat utter crap.

Why did you set the camera to watch you eat an ice cream? Do you actually think the world holds you in such high esteem they want to watch you eat an ice cream?????

Here's a list of people I want to watch eat an Icecream

1 - A naked pornstar

2 - A naked stripper

3 - A naked hooker

You don't make the list.

Or did you set the camera up and drop it on purpose so you could post that post on various bike forums to try and gain views on your ego trip?
