  Ha, I can barely manage to take a regular ol’ panda shot. I need to start a rigorous training schedule for this new sport.

  Not a portrait but took some videos while on a tour on the Montour, GAP and C&O a couple of weeks back. Here’s one while passing over a viaduct ( http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cpC9fHOIgjk )… if you’re afraid of heights, it’s extreme. Another while riding in the rain and extreme mud on the C&O ( http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9IeMVGYp6sQ ).

  While some are not extreme angles many of them are while riding in adverse or extreme conditions. More here ( http://www.youtube.com/user/twodeadpoets )

  Cheers!

  It’s funny you bring this up, Alan, because yesterday I set out to get some shots of pedaling from pedal level, Thankfully no crash pandas from me, but I’ll have some pix on my website on Saturday. Nothing as colorful and striking as you guys have!

  I think I’ll name my next band Crash Panda…. ;-) Okay so if it’s crash pandas we’re posting (and if you didn’t see the rest of my vids) here’s an almost crash panda after I exit a long tunnel (so keep watching till the end): http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Qib6mlFOylQ
  Also if you watch this video till the end you can hear me squeal like a little boy when I almost loose it into the canal: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Qib6mlFOylQ
