Nope - I'm friggin' old, and I knew what you meant...though I remember when buying a bellows attachment was the hot setup for your Nikon F, and I had fun with view cameras.

@spectastic The video would have been good had it not been for that smudge in the middle of the camera.

no....we got it...the silence was from us not knowing what to say to your wanting to take the photo of rkwaki's junk but for the fact that you did not have a macro lens. ;-)

I'm new here so I don't want to mention how up close you have to be to use a macro lens. Just sayin.

First off were they racing in the projects? Clean up the road. I would not have raced on that crap.
Second, what was that dude in the Cannondale skinsuit doing? If you are going to sit up get out of the way.
Third there was a pretty big guy (black guy not on Rahsaan's team) that was also sitting up and Justin came flying by, what the hell was that guy doing sitting up? Looked like he was out for a Sunday Z1 ride
If I was Rahsaan or Justin I'd be super pissed at that whole situation...

^ I didn't get the guy on the hoods either. On the other hand it looks like he read the crash happening and eased to give himself room.
The guy flying by didn't see what was coming and obviously entered the picture way too fast to avoid stuff. It looks like he tried to bunny hop his way over.
I was a bit surprised to see the sand/debris on the road. At the same time I always think about Bethel and we couldn't clear everything last week, or even the weeks prior. Okay, it was in the 20s overnight and stuff froze but still, we couldn't clean it all up. In SoCal… a leaf blower would go a long way. Okay a shovel for that section of road.

Had to tell the entire scope of the wreck but hope that everyone is ok.

The guy who flew to the right of Bahati apparently ate it pretty good.
I think you're maybe misreading people bracing themselves for impact as a sign of sitting up. I think the crash just happened a few seconds before the vid starts and everyone is looking for a way out. That's my guess.

Cat 3 - Tour de Murrieta Grand Prix (all laps). It's extended because I included the gap between the break and the field.

The guy sitting up is Charon Smith who is one of the most respected Masters racers in SoCal at the moment. He's sitting up calmly because he saw/anticipated the crash before the others did. You can't really blame him for being more aware of the situation.
The crash was initiated by the rider in front of Rahsaan who flatted and lost control.

I wouldn't say that course is in the projects. It's an industrial park in Long Beach. The freeway is just to the right on the video which is why that side of the course tends to be dirty. There is a prevailing wind that 99% of the time forces riders to the other side (inside) of the course. It's extremely unusual for them to be riding on that side. For that reason I can't blame the promoter too much because in normal circumstances it's not an issue.

And you are correct he is very well respected not only there but around the country.

It would have been nice for the sponsoring club to have made an effort to clean up the road a bit. I know that our club has done as much when we promoted races on that course and on other courses.
The course location is practically in the projects(very close to Compton haha). When I was doing my warmup outside, it was definitely a bit sketch. That said, the course wasn't too bad. Later in the day the crosswinds were strong so they were riding way closer to the curb than our field(cat4).
The guy who flew to the right of Bahati apparently ate it pretty good.

Actually, it's north Long Beach not Compton, though some (not me) will say there's no difference. The course itself is around a parcel of land in an industrial park. No one has ever bought and developed that land. There are businesses on the outside of the course but the industrial park is isolated in the corner of an intersection of two major freeways. It's not the best part of town but a bunch of people go there on Thursday nights for crit training.
Still I wont sugar coat it and say that this city is nice just cause its "long beach". It's not right smack in the ghetto but its definitely no bel air
