Looks like you all had a good time. How much does something like that cost you to do for a day?

Thunderburd, take the MSF ERC if you haven't. That would be a good primer along with some practice of those techniques.

Sorry, PG, I missed your last post. It's $90. Riding Course!

I just saw the photos from Momentum. Sweet merciful crap. He takes the whole "make you look fast" thing to an absurd extreme. All I got was dizzy from those shots. They're well done from a technical standpoint, but rather adolescent in style.

Maybe next year.

I'd like to see how that camera was rigged up
on the bike that took the video.
You guys are good riders.
Thanks for posting.

The cameras were set up in full race fashion. Mounts on the front and rear fairings, and purpose-built cameras. I'm guessing they're widely available.

He was right on my butt. The camera has such a wide angle that falling back 20-30 feet made me look way out in front.

Go back to Clint's picture on post 119, you can see the camera right above the number 50 on the bike following Clint.
