More thoughts on Moto Vlogging:
Can motovlogging be done safely? Yes…relatively and with extreme care.
Can the moto vlogger ride to the best of their ability while moto vlogging? No
Can the moto vlogger communicate their message as clearly and on-point while riding a motorcycle? No
Here are some things I see moto vloggers do on a regular basis.
* Talking with both hands while riding down the road
* Taping notes to the tank of their motorcycle to try and stay on topic
* Keeping notes on a smartphone or even iPad so they can refer to it during the session
* Spending more time focusing on the camera and discussion rather than the hazards around them
* Losing their train of thought while attempting to motovlog
If the rider is losing their train of thought while trying to record their motovlog, they are also losing their sense of awareness while riding.
As this video showed, the human brain can not multitask. Our brain just switches from one task to the next. Motovlogging can not only be dangerous but also anything else that would distract the rider from the single task of riding the motorcycle.
That is why I don’t do motovlog videos. It makes no sense to me to talk about motorcycle road skills and road strategy while recording myself riding and demonstrating such a bad example.
To each their own, I am not trying to cast shame on anyone else…just explaining my position and why I choose to record the video and the audio sections of my on-bike sessions separately.
Ride safe – ride distraction free!
