hey what's up YouTube hope you guys doing good welcome back to another vlog here you road to 100,000 subscribers and sorry for the jitters and and whatnot here but I'm dropping into the city I need to do a quick sound test and I'm be Bose Soundlink to headphones and just see if I can hear some ambient noises out in the air and whatnot but awesome jam-packed day after this I'm going to the whitewater rafting center there they have tons of bike trails from you know the but the bunny slopes you can say down to with a very difficult and a pretty extreme stuff well that's something I do once in a while when I get you know some time I guess you could say and it is a way for me to get away from the city and then one of my on the bike trails it is a tranquil there's no one out there I mean these other bike riders here and there but it is very quiet away from the city and man when you're biking from with ten miles or so I don't know if I can do the full ten miles today but when you're biking for that long I mean all you have is just the thoughts to yourself and there's time to think and reflect and whatnot but yeah looking for a spot right now it's a park and anyways I'll catch you guys later I'll show you guys what I'm doing in a truck hey folks on the site right now working away from the house got me on the field today which I'm grateful for get some fresh air but I just want to show you something behind the scenes stuff I'm recording for the Bose Soundlink two right now I'm trying to get one of these cool shots right here there's a staircase or stairwell and looks down to the city right here a part of the city and I try to give some life let me turn around real quick here try to get some life into my videos and a little bit something different like I said I once in a lot like to be out pinned get some fresh air once in a while but I got the camera here so I'm really tall here and this is the shot that I'm trying to get I can put her mine next to the camera here so in the review that you might already be out by the time you see this vlog this part of the scene this is where I'll be standing so pretty cool I'm gonna go down finish three later I'm going to test I'm going to test the sound isolation the passive noise isolation and see if I can hear like the ambient noise is the cars around me and whatnot so through a lot of real-world testing and out on the field show you guys what I basically do so that's it and here it is folks the u.s. whitewater rafting Center has got paid for parking parking is not too bad parking spot for five bucks it's got paid the yup booth attendant here dang I didn't think he'll be busy today it's Friday afternoon at like 2:30 telling you man every time we go out I'm always wondering don't people got jobs like I said in my made my very first blog I think all these people are bloggers themselves so we just don't know their YouTube games and this is a not the employee parking but this is just like general parking for everyone but yeah let me find a parking spot real quick and I'll show you guys give you guys a tour around real quick so this entire place is actually man-made all these Rapids are simulated basically they're able to adjust the degree of difficulty in the rapids and make for a different course every time and to my right here is the largest outdoor climbing facility I believe in I don't know if it's on the east coast or is it just ago in America and usually every Thursday night they have live bands craft breweries done to have food trucks and whatnot there's two stages here I got a nice restaurant up here and behind that restaurant right there in the center is a zipline that spins all the way across I don't know midea once I go by there we'll see someone zipping along here but there's class one two three and up to class 4 Rapids as you can see this is the more intermediate loop but yeah man it's pretty fun stuff I wish the loop was a little bit bigger but I can imagine how much it cost at the build a man-made wrapping Center so looks pretty cool and let me just circle around here real quick and I'm actually heading towards one's the bike trails as well the fake trails I mean it's it's huge it used to be like 11 miles or 12 miles long and they've bought more land expanded the trails and whatnot and they're I swear to God probably like 17 miles long now I I don't think I've ever done the whole entire 17 miles before and just one spin that is taxing on the body of course but I think someone's going on the zip line right now hold on let me stop real quick here I mean it's not the it's not the same as the ones that you zipline over in the woods and whatnot or up in the mountains you can get into the facility just for five dollars five dollars we just you know pays for parking and you can use the bike trails and they give walk the trail to obviously and just hang out here live bands you know music booze whatever you need but then to do the all-day facilities like the water rafting the ziplining there's canopy tours and whatnots I believe don't quote me you can always go on their website I believe it's about $55 for the entire hair all right folks so I'm at a stopping point right now per my polar watch here excuse me I've been on the trails for about two and a quarter miles and about thirty a little over 30 minutes so far on the trail and two miles and 30 minutes I guess doesn't seem like much but man these trails they got roots rocks you gotta climb over and the logs and the trails are really narrow I'm at more of a like a stopping or common area let me just see if I can flip the camera around here and show you my stopping point here well this is where I usually stop here obviously the trail comes up this way and then I got my bike here and the trail just keeps going up and up it up and like all the way around up there so pretty fun man but it's a good workout though but what I want to show you guys real quick was a Camelback for those who are not too familiar with that I want to show you guys when I first started you know mountain biking I used to carry water bottles icy care like two and I would down to pride within the first hour or so maybe even less to be honest with you I mean sometimes even portent on my head just to keep cool during the summer months but a Camelback basically is that pouch the holds in liquid for you guys it's a silicone or kind of some kind of antimicrobial pouch I believe back inside here and it holds a really decent amount I can remember how many ounces this whole I'll probably put up on the screen right now but I mean it it it does everything for me obviously holding the keys wallet my cell phone obviously and then here goes your hose here basically put in your mouth drink out of that's about it really cool I think it was if I can remember made 50 bucks or so and for those who are interested it goes my bike we've got this man probably four years ago three years ago it's really a beginner bike I I didn't know if I was gonna really enjoy the sport or not I love biking when I was a kid but I never ever biked like biking trails up in the woods and whatnot and so I give this shots of beginners bike probably maybe for $500 or so and at the white water rafting Center man you got I mean the business guys they come here after work or on the weekend and you can see them riding around 3000 4000 even 5000 dollar bikes man it's it's crazy but now it's just a regular basic trek bike hardtail no rear suspension I like it because it's just ridiculously easy to maneuver around I really like it a lot but but yeah I mean that's a that's my equipment that I'm rocking right now and again like I said a the polar m400 I used to track my GPS and my distance and I didn't wear the trustor out today and that's about it alright folks so just got off of the intermediate trails and the exit is right over there actually to the parking lot and to go back home and I'll know if you guys can see this here but on the Polar watch I've done five point seven miles so far and about an hour and 40 minutes in so call me crazy but I want to finish it off and I got a summer crippled bike I guess you can say I can't remember what the it's not a derail I can't I mean the gear shifter it's it's a little bit loose so I do have to take it a little bit easy but let me see if I can flip the camera around here I'm gonna do this one I'm gonna do this one last rail here I'm here obviously and it's about three miles or whatever I don't think I'm gonna take the optional route alright see you guys at the end again it's a 5.7 two miles I know it's not focusing but I got one-handed focus it right now alright I'll see you guys on the other side back over here yes that's the that's the finish line and then I start over here alright and there you go folks eight point two miles in total two hours and seven minutes of a total workout for today and just approved that I'm back at the beginning here try to focus it there we go and that is a wrap folks quads are burning I'm exhausted and it's probably about five o'clock right now and kind of head home shower and get ready for some dinner alright it's question time now what I want you guys to do is ask me anything down in the comment section below I will basically try to answer them next week and next week's vlog but got my list of questions here and we'll start off with Wesley Irwin and I do apologize and I pronounce any of your names incorrectly er down the road what did I major in and how long was I in school for I majored in communication with a focus in marketing and advertising obviously I didn't do that right out of school but I can say I'm doing it today how long was in school for I was in college for three and a half years and obviously it's not the full four years I my last several semesters I tried really hard to just cram in all those credit hours I remember my senior year well my senior year was like half a year old but just one semester and going to my counselor before the semester started I asked them if I could take more classes just to graduate early and she said no at the time so what I did was I went to my local State College and applied there and did I think two classes part-time a couple of business classes or so elective classes and whatnot and I did that part-time and I think I was taking 18 credit hours at my main University which was a University of Buffalo and that semester I was taking a total of I believe 23 24 credit hours so it was a pretty tough year I guess he can say but I'm glad I did it next question is from love Joshi he asked what software do I use to edit my videos what camera do I use a what microphone a very common question software wise I use Adobe Premiere CC it's on the cloud right now and to be introduced not too expensive it's about $50 a month if I recall what camera dad used for the longest time I was using an older Nikon d50 100 it's my first ever DSLR and those were the videos that really launched my youtube channel it was only until recently and probably my now counting maybe my last 20 videos out of my 200 and what 60 videos I have right now only 20 of those videos are on my newest camera that you guys see in them in the more recent videos it's a Nikon d810 and if you're curious I don't use the kit lens if you guys are investing into a decent camera usually the kit lens are okay but I believe that you can always spend about the same amount money or maybe a little bit more and get a much better line so I'm using a Tamron 24 to 70 does better than the kit lens I'm telling you and the microphone I use right now is the roadie mic Pro I just use that because I saw at a time I'll saw a lot of other youtubers using it so I thought it was great it does work it does do justice but I most likely not anytime soon but I might get this shorter microphone which I put up right here it's a little bit more expensive but there's volume controls on there the roadie mic doesn't have any volume controls at all like I said and it's just a little bit harder to tinker around it's not as much fine-tuning as I could do with the other microphones that I have experienced so far so hopefully that helps you out Joshy next question here is from Myles he asked what camera that I used to record my last vlog well all my vlogs so far including this one has been on my Samsung Note 4 phone alright that's it for this vlog I know these answers like I said in the last vlog they are very my answers are very long but I do try to I mean I really try to help people out there if I can inspire someone to do great out there man that that means the world to me so hopefully I helped you in some way of course again ask me questions down below you can ask me anything it doesn't have to be YouTube related and I'll try to answer them next week on next week's vlog all right you guys take care remember to add me on social media Facebook Instagram and Twitter talk to you guys later bye you
