Scotto,
You guys have some serious acceleration! Wouldn't it be cool if there was a second camera shooting the same race, but with you in the picture? Then the two different points of view could be intercut. And if say a third person was taking a shot from the sidelines of your bike approaching and then passing by also cut into the sequence... woohoo!
I realize that the primary focus is the race itself, but if someone else was mostly interested in capturing the experience for the benefit of the viewer then the recording is the primary focus. You might end up with a video that you watch now and then over and over again for the next 20 years... back when you were a young guy and your bike was your latest hot stuff!
That was nice video, so was the ride recorded by ckangaroo70. Greg's clips of the bridge rides have different points of view (most from the rider, but also from a set tripod) put together in the editing. If I can do something approaching what you guys have done then the next big challenge is my learning to edit. Looking forward to this gopro thing... thanks!
Got Windows 7 installed on my aging laptop successfully, with glitches, of course. No audio, no wifi connectivity and media player doesn't work. Other than that, perfect! Have a disc of drivers ordered so I'm hoping to have that straightened out pretty soon.
Then I can download the camera software and start experimenting with the gopro. The little hobby king camera should be here this week and I hope to get that working, too. Maybe this won't be such a long winter after all.
