BikeJam, Cat4 - Thanks, and Raw(ish) Race Video

[Kent]

Thanks to everyone running the show at BikeJam yesterday; I had a blast! (and I usually do!)

I'm not sure a bar-mounted camera was the best idea for this race, given the 'cheese-grater' surface ('they' took out one of the tennis courts and put in a shiny new dog park...and didn't bother to pit down some fresh pavement anywhere else), but YouTube's image stabilization does a decent job of making the video watchable, though the distortions of things due to the vibrations (especially apparent with racers' wheels) is kinda strange to see.

The video is available at http://youtu.be/I3sH02TML8c

And if anyone cares to watch the actual video (which I find to be strangely more watchable than youtube's stabilized version), I've uploaded it here: http://youtu.be/JnkLBnnJpJg

If I have time this weekend I might chop it down into a version that makes me and my teammates look good, and add some cliché punk rock soundtrack (to clash with Joe Jefferson's commentating/announcing, the brief blips of the DJ's spins every time we passed the start/finish, and the band on the stage), and maybe even overlay some telemetry data. It will be glorious.
