Question on tires for first HDPE

[JayG]

A lower cost alternative to the GoPro is one of the clones on eBay. They sell for around $40-$70 including a bunch of accessories.

You can also get pretty good videos with data overlay using your phone and one of the apps like TrackAddict or Harry's Lap timer. Get a OBD II adaptor as well. If you have an iPhone, there are only a few bluetooth ones that will work and the run around $100. Te el-cheapo wifi ones will work, but bluetooth is better

If you want to use a windshield suction cup mount, the RAM mount is by fare one of the best. They cost a few more $, but well worth it.

It is a very slippery slope and once one it, there is no hope.....

Sound on a video is also a wealth of information. Listen to when you start to accelerate out of a corner (probably way too late when a beginner) and listen to your tires. If they're howling at you, they're not happy. So resist the urge to lay down a fancy track of your favorite music before you listen to the sounds on your vid.

There will be a lot going on during your DE and a lot to absorb. Having it on video is a great way to learn when the bullets aren't live.
