    This was my first race on my bike since I added the Athena 310 kit.
    Not an amazimg increase in power but it does 'fill in the gaps' after the 250.
    When we left home at 7:30 we where already sweating so we knew it was going to be a hot one.
    Had a bit of a nightmare in the morning session after a stalling/dropping moment it happend again and again each time getting more and more knackerd to the point I had to pull over and have a word with myself and a rest, setting off again and trying to keep the revs up and use the clutch more seemed to do the trick but the damage was done and I never seemed to get my rhythm back.
    Second session went much better after a rest and a ginsters pie (the food of champions) with no bad incidents although still not as fast or smooth as I'd of liked!
    Heres a couple of films from the second session on my goprohd.
    (I know the chest mount is'nt as good as the helmet but there where too many low branches!)

    All in all a reasonable first run for the 310 just got to get used to the extra power in the trees, maybe change the gearing?

    I run my gopro on the front of my chin protector, works great. Can still pan around and is the perfect angle. Does not hit branches unless you face-plant into a tree. :D

    Nice video and nice track layout...some good high speed sections and some tight sections that make you think. Good stuff.

    I think I like the chest placement. It's best though when you're standing.

    I found the chest placement uncomfortable to watch... It feels like he's flying like superman with outstretched arms.

    Of course that's only from being conditioned to watching videos with helmet height cameras. It was, admittedly, not as awkward as the video progressed.

    Good idea, it wont go on my currant helmet (Airoh, too pointy) but I can adapt my old one.
    Hopefully try it out this Sunday, will post up result.
    Thanks for the tip:cheers:

    I think thats as close to a riders point of view as possible with out blocking your view.
    Just got to find a new helmet with a flat front.
