Grattan 2008 Action Video

Here's the YouTube version of a video I put together using footage from quite a few different sessions. I hope you like it!




The high-res version is way cooler; I just hate the way YouTube trashes the video resolution. Right-click and save either of these to see a higher quality movie:

The ultra-super-high-res mpeg version (almost 300 MB):

And the smaller Flash version, a little better than YouTube:

The angle on your brake hand at about 2:30 ish is damn impressive. Braking until the knee is on the deck. Nice!

The high-res version is uploading now. It's nearly 300MB ( ), so give it some time. I'll post up a link when it's done.

Wow - I just burned the high-res one to DVD and played it on our plasma TV. I'm really impressed with the image quality of that camera! Definitely the best video quality of any of the cams I've used.

If any attendees would like a free DVD of the action video, just PM me your address, and I'll be happy to mail you one.

Did you find any good sheep follow cam? You and Gt702 both mentioned that you might have some It would be interesting to see myself from behind rather than just on bike (though that is helpful)

The only thing I really have is a lap or so where I'm behind GT702 as he's behind you. Must have sounded like "rolling thunder" with the three big twins out there in succession. With the wide angle lens it doesn't show you much at all, unfortunately.

I have several laps behind you, more than I thought behind CBR929 and JH1, Davef, and a few chasing the wack-pac (thank goodness for trafic or it would be less ). I downloaded enmasse because it was easiest and then found it was hardest for extracting sections, so I need to go through again and get the quality right this time. I'll PM people for addresses when I get that sorted out, but it might be a little while yet.
