I've tried to explain this one and to little effect. So here's a video. I do my best to ride my friends line. With the exception of three turns, all left handers with the big dips in apex. Any idea other than the obvious better shocks that fit my fat ass (260#s) to not drift out of the line while crossing dips would be appreciated.

At no time does my front wheel cross dbl yellow or fog. I guess I will never be believed till I get someone behind me filming.

Where do you mount your cam? Left side of helmet? I noticed some of my videos look the same. Mine mounts on my chin though, so the cam is slightly more centered. I know the fish eye effect makes the video look like you are going over. I would imagine if its side mounted it really exaggerates that effect.

I saw the visor actually. At first I wasnt sure, and asked just where, but then edited to include mentioning left side since I noticed it after watching again. Forgot what exactly it is, but changing the settings can lessen the fish eye effect.

Holy crap, is that Redwood road? Out behind Castro Valley? If so you guys were riding right by where I live.
