@OMGuuyy Oh, and thanks
@OMGuuyy You can check out some of the later clips I’ve posted – I got a ContourHD1080. I tried the GoPro but wasn’t pleased enough with it to buy one.
Fantastic job on the race and video. If you haven’t already, you need to get a GoPro! : )
place that in max res..and see your freakin rpm:)))
@pcfxer not sped up, but it is at low resistance. Although the pedals would slow on their own, I’m slowing them with my legs.
That wasn’t sped up was it? Or was it low resistance?
A single speed, as gears arent allowed on the footstep, neither with quick release tires.
And it would be drafting, at nearly 45% give or take
is that a speed bike and you ar drifting 40% lest work and a greate vid 10/10
Thanks and I hope to see you out there too.
I didn’t know that, so that’s excellent to know. I didn’t go up intentionally, I find it hard to hold the line out of the last turn. I reckon most riders there find the same thing because it seems to happen frequently (I’ve been on the outside more than a few times in such a situation).
Fantastic video, and a fantastic initiation to the sport. I cultured a bunch. Thank you very much. I hope to see you this summer up there.
Nice video and play by play!
Looks like you went uptrack coming out of turn 4 all through the sprint. That’s the other rule of the sprinter’s lane – if you’re leading the field and are in the sprinter’s lane, you have to stay below the white line until you cross the end or get passed! I’m glad I wasn’t tender up on your right coming nearly that bend.
That was terrible ass! Nice vid. I have to try that!
The infield used to drain and had Fantastic Grass the whole facility look like a dump.
Thanks. I calculated it wasn’t a fantastic 200 meter time, but based on my other sprints (same footstep, same gear, etc), I’m guessing I hitting 33-34 mph (my max speed there). I’d like to be able to go quicker, but I haven’t been able to do it – my pedal stroke is too rough right now.
Man the final lap when you sprinted to the end, you had to hit 30+, that was sick of you. Excellent Job.
Fantastic vids. I saw them associated at BF and had to link a few on my site too.
What kind of cam do you have? I want to confirmation some rides but not sure what cam to use.

Fantastic video! Please let us see, like this, more footstep events from inside racing and training!
thanks for the + note. I hope to keep this up with a wider variety of courses, some general assemble rides, and more footstep events for sure.
fantastic videos, reckon ive watched em all….on the edge of my seat!!!
