New Guy On The Block...cape Town, South Africa

[Garthox]

Hey all,
My username is Garthox and I am a 28 year old dude living down in Cape Town South Africa.
Been lurking the forum for a while and decided it was time to register .

I have been riding now for just over 2 years.

My wheels are a 2003 BMW 650GS Dakar (Dual purpose)
I enjoy riding the bike on the street , on the dirt. This includes motorcycle camping.

I've liked the idea of vlogging to get my thoughts out and have been planning on making videos to dicument my adventures. (how successful that will be, only time will tell)

I use a garmin virb for recording and a mic adapter with a 3.5mm audio mic from somewhere online.

Cheers

Hi Garth, am looking forward to seeing your videos, I love seeing how biking is in other countries and continents. Be sure to post your best vid to date in the motovlogging part of the forum so we can see what you are about!

Welcome! There's a couple vloggers in Cape Town at the moment. Ill try organise another vlogger meetup this year once I'm back from Saudi Arabia in April.

 

[Garthox]

Awesome, thanks for the warm welcome chaps

@Dark Rider sounds like a plan

Looking forward to interacting with the forum ☺

One of the things I enjoy most is seeing people ride in places I've never been. Looking forward to checking it out.

Hey guys,

Hope everyone is well.

I'm not quite sure where to ask the following question, but i thought its safe here.

I have made my first video (just some clips riding to music)
Its the first video ive put time to make, but its not a motovlog.
I'm still working on that. hate the sound of my voice, so in the mean time i thought of making a practice video.

Is this something i can post here (on the forum) for critique?

 

[Lurch]

You can post in post your videos/member vlogs section. There's a drop down option for criticism wanted.

If you don't want the vlog public, make it unlisted on YouTube, but not private.

As for not liking the sound of your voice - a lot of people don't like the sound of their voices!

 

[Garthox]

Cool, thanks for the feedback.
I'll give that a try once I've uploaded the video.

And yeah, hate is a strong word. I'm just not used to my voice on video
