My First Track Race- Video!

(Cross post from Roadies)

I did my first track race with a camera stuck to my head and it was a hoot.

Helmet cam video is here: https://www.veloreview.com/obra3/2007...ack-race.html/

Enjoy!

Thanks Yoshi!

FigBug- That would be the blackeye 2, www.blackeyeusa.com. It mounts to the front of the helmet instead of the side or the top!

Two weeks ago, a Team O rider had a helmet cam for the 60-lap points race. I haven't seen the video for that pop up on the interweb anywhere.

Congrats on trying track racing for the first time. We'll see you out there again.

Looks like a blast.

What was the first song you used? Perfect for the race... upbeat with a nice tempo.

Very cool footage. Didn't listen to the sound (trying to be stealthy @ work) but I'll check it out from home.

Great job on the first race!!!

The first track (I assume thats the one you're asking about) is Nina Simone, "Sinner Man" (remix). I'm partial to the original myself.


Awesome video by the way... makes me wanna take a trip out to Trexlertown, PA. and give it a shot myself.
