Great video Chris! The commentary really added to it too. The chief usa cycling ref was a stick-in-the-mud for our race. I had my camera mounted on my helmet and he came up and said it was a safety concern and he would not allow me to race with it. So I had to remove it on the spot. The cam was running at that point so I guess I can at least post him taking it from me. :) Too bad... I think footage from our race would've been good stuff too.
Good grief! Maybe they should have been more concerned with the debris in corner two or the protruding curb on the back stretch. Those could have lead to injuries. I saw that you had it on then pulled it off but I wasn't sure why?! Well, I am glad they didn't see mine. :)
You might be right. I think the trick is to carry it, line up outside, and snap it on just before the whistle. :) That's what I'll do next year to avoid the junk.
Why didn't you where one in the State Championships? Were they prohibited there too?
Next big race we should mount both forward and rearward facing cams on one bike... that'd give us some sweet action! Yeah I just use iMovie to hack mine up.
Sounds great! Hey, I've used iMovie for years and find it much faster and easier than just about anything else. I even used Final Cut Pro HD for a couple years.
Awesome!

Ref takes my cam
Apparently I forgot to straighten the camera anyway so maybe a good thing since footage would've been on it's side the whole race... ;)
Sux

I'm not quite sure why they let me go with mine.
Maybe...
Maybe your's sparked the "hey I should've taken that from him" thoughts and then he homed in on mine like a hawk afterwards. :)

ya
sounds stealthy! ya I just spaced it at the state champs... left it on the charger, doh!
More camera footage!
I think with two ContourHD's in the club now, we could really do some cool stuff! What are you editing on (Mac/PC)? Software?
agreed!

I'll add my Flip to the mix as well.
