Not sure if this guy would take the advice, but what the heck? Shoot me some tips and I'll pass them on to him through my brother.  PM me if you want. 

Frankly, your vids are much better.  You can actually see definition and features on the ground in front of the bike.  Nicely done.  Makes me want to get a cam harness.

Buff -- gotcha.  Actually, you can't see them because video is so fuzzy, but the trails have lots of roots, which can get a bumpy in sections on our hardtails.  That is something I actually have to practice -- my Paragon being a 29er hardtail, I find it challenging to keep my butt off the seat and still keep pedaling over a really rough section of roots or rocks, esp. on a climb.  The bike just gets knocked around beneath me, making control tricky.  Staying seated is not an option.  My wife and youngest daughter have 26er hardtails, and it's even rougher for them with the smaller wheels.  Any tips?
