Lots of haters on this video that I had to turn off comments for a while... Lots of people assuming lots of stuff. We were allowed to record footage of our ride. There was no risk. People were allowed to attach GoPro's to the ride, and at least one group of people did because they brought the correct fitting. This camera was strapped to the hand and if there was any risk to other riders the ride attendant would have said something. It wasn't recorded on a phone held in someone's hand. It was securely attached and the only way the camera was coming off was if the arm came off, and at that point there would be a lot more to worry about. Yes the footage is shaky, It's an intense ride that zips left to right at high speed, it's hard to keep your arms high in the air while going through the lateral G's this ride gives. No one was at risk, nothing was recorded without permission, and yes it's hard to get a stable video on a crazy intense ride... I shouldn't have to explain this but there's always going to be assuming haters that have to chat shit about things they do not know.

Lee OfBacup Don't worry about it, jealousy I reckon.

This is making me want to ride icon now. From your point of view it gives great impression of what it's like.

Sorry it's not better footage. But I will say it might just be the best ride in the UK... My knees were shaking when I got off. And that's not happened in a very long time...

Great stuff, good footage. Glad someone managed to risk it, makes me want to ride it, first POV on KZread? Awesome

No risk involved. We were allowed to film it. The guy on the front seat was allowed to attach a GoPro. But they had it facing them. This camera was attached to the arm. Ride attendant saw it while checking the seat braces, checked it was secure. If any rules were broken or peoples safety at risk he would have said something. We was even joking about a click bait video...

@Roflcopter you said this was recorded without permission in a bullshit comment I deleted. Just to let your assuming arse know, we had permission to record... People were attaching GoPro's to the ride. Had I known beforehand we could do that I would have. This camera was attached to the arm because that's the only attachment that was brought. Nothing unsafe, nothing without permission, so before making yourself look like an arse, get your facts right before commenting.

The ride is much much better than this video shows. You can't really see much in the video.

Yes I know. I can only apologise. It's a very intense ride and the cam was attached to an arm. Keeping an arm high up under those G's and getting a good video... Well, I can't say anything more than that... lol

Fantastic POV. Really shows how wild the ride is, congratulations being the first POV of Icon on KZread, great achievement.

Thank you. Sorry it's not great. But it is intense. The other riders was strapping their GoPro's to the ride pointing at their faces. I guess they were after shitty reaction videos. This one was attached to the arm, and keeping an arm up high and steady on an wild ride like this is impossible. Had I known beforehand we were allowed to attach our cameras to the ride I'd have taken my action cam and all its attachments.
