Windham: Claudio's Helmet Cam - UCI World Cup 2012

 i feel it same way but still liked the video.

 to a race team, the footage of the rider on the bike is prob more important than footage of the track itself. if the idea is to use the footage to improve the time then the rider is that important thing, not the track.

 i feel ya. you know what I hate even more? The fact that you can't really decipher steeps with a helmet cam. Hate it.

Rider: "Gotta watch this steep section!"

Me: "Really? What steep section???"

 Couldn't agree more. I just wanna see 1 camera preferably on the helmet the whole way down. These weird angles just ruin the video for me.

 totally agree, i want to see the course, not the rider wiggling around while pedaling...

 I normally prefer just the one straight ahead camera shot. I do have to say though, I really like the handlebar shot as he was going through the berms. You do not realize how far these guys really lean into those berms sometimes. Also how upright they still manage to keep their heads while pinning it that fast.

 I'd normally agree, and definitely think the backwheel shots were a bit pointless really but like bplatte said, I actually thought the handlebar shots on berms was pretty awesome. Any of the rougher parts didn't really work at all though, so much blur and it's just of the guys jersey...

 i thought that the back wheel shots gave a better look at how far the rider really went.. maybe that's just me though. they mix up the angles to help it be more entertaning. there will be other POV's that are dead quite without the change in camera angles.

 yeah agreed, but sometimes is necessary to have more angles to not get bored watching always the same! though they are fast.

 i liked the way he said "ridiculous" haha

 Put the skin suit on!

 The BEST track description I have seen yet. REDBULL or PB, give this guy a job!

 RI-DICULUS

 that was far!! hahaha really liked!

 Sorry for the chicken line =D ...Oh man, there are no chicken lines on this track!

 @DirtBag81611: this guy has a job... his the caoch of the scott11 team

 no, that still goes to rob warner

 ok....next to Rob Warner then....

 Claudio should join Warner in the broadcast booth on Sunday! I think they would make a sweet commentary combo

 actually, i find that talking or even singing something (*sheepish look*) can help me ride. Lets me react more naturally, rather than overthink or focus on negative stuff that I shouldn't ('dont hit the stump', then you hit the stump). I was quoting the double rainbow youtube video a lot when I was hitting jumps a whislter a couple seasons back. Kept the fun factor up, didn't overthink stuff, and stuck most of them If you've ridden enough, your body naturally will know what to do in a gnar rock garden, so why not start singing parts of the "Rocky" soundtrack??? $5 says you hit it cleaner

 Hmm... nevr thought of it that way. I might have to try that!

 Nothing chicken about hitting that whole track that fast and not having lines chosen. Great vid!

 Yeah, looks like it took a tool or his rear rim in the last few seconds of the video.

 *toll*

 He is the Scott Team Manager if i'm not mistaken, he is on the New Gambler that Brendan and the rest of the team are riding.
