Track vids on the internet

[Yuppie]

Anyone know of a site where there are some quality track racing videos on the net? To watch on the net that is, not for purchase.

[deathintransit]

Hi Mr.Litespeedy

Windows Media Player is necessary in order to look at Keirin movie
Please download it when not installed
http://www.microsoft.com/

Or please ask a person understanding Japanese
I'm sorry I was not able to find site of English Keirin movie

I worked well for me. You have to click either Broad Band or Narrow Band, then click through the Dijest button. There will be a bunch of races you can pick from. If you watch race 10 from October 24, you can see some serious pushing and a wreck!

NASCAR fan that you are...I am glad they both rolled as opposed to skid. Skidding across a velodrome is not fun...

Thank you Tomity and Lacklust,
I am enjoying the videos and am forwarding the links to my friends.
This is so cool!!! I am saving all the video files from the site that Tomity provided to watch for inspiration while using a trainer. The other vids are also inspiring :)
Anything else you guys???
Thanks again,
rj

I can't veiw them ( i have a mac)

[Litespeedy]

Oops...it was Nasty that submitted that awesome link!

[Fugazi Dave]

I'm also on a Mac. Go to the video menu page as described above, and then option+click on a race to download the .asx file to your machine. Should only be about 200 bytes. Once you've got it downloaded, just double click to open it in Windows Media Player. A bit of a runaround (inline viewing would be easier), but doable.

Ooh, ouch.

The guy in #17 is FORMER 10 time world champion and keirin racer Kolchi Nakano. They have a keirin
racng show that comes on TV . it is pretty cool.

CEYA!

[nasty]

not too sure if the keirin girls link is that awesome, but i definately got some pointers as to what to wear whilst i'm dong the household chores...

props to toomity for the real deal...

and whose gonna be the bravest weaterner to ask him about sourcing some second hand keirin frames.

i'd do it, but my legs still aching from the dooring 2 years ago, my dad's just bought another citroen and i'm pretty worried about getting deported from the us again when i transfer from the dallas terminal to go to mexico in a coupla weeks.

i hope they're all considered justifiable excuses

[Litespeedy]

Keirin Frames? But the sites are in Japanese, good luck!

this seems to be the root of that site's video section:
http://www.shikoku-keirin.jp/komatsushima/backnumber.htm

there are around 30 races to view.

2R is super exciting. My fav so far. No big crashes or anything crazy, but intense from start to finish.

[bostontrevor]

2R just means the second race of the day. Which day are we talking about?

Whoops. I'm a dumbass. I meant 2R under 2004 03 10 1 (The top row of video links.)

Are these not Mac compatible!???

[deathintransit]

They're not Me compatible.:(

I've watched these videos before and I have a question. Do people actually ride like that on the street (in the drag race video), or do people usually follow traffic regulations? Personally, I run stop signs/lights all the time in my small college town, but they may crack down on it in the city. Thoughts?

I don't ride quite that aggressively, but yeah, i run lites and stop signs all the time. the size of my balls is growing too, so i'm starting to ride between lanes of traffic downtown.

[mrbertfixy]

check out www.digave.com/videos/monster.mpg
from monster track 2004. as far as i know, no brakes allowed for this event.

Fixed gear street races get intense. Especially Monster Track which usually ends up being the largest one of the year. If you're in a group of 15 kids, you'll make it through any light, just don't be the first and don't be the last. That and the video looks more intense than the reality - sure you have close calls, but that's the nature of brakeless city riding, it's more fun that way.

Does this mean I'm a Hipster/Poser now? Oh who cares what others think, LET THE TRACK/KEIRIN BUILDUP COMMENCE!!!!!! heh, heh, heh, now this is fun!

I've crashed three times on a mtb going less than 3mph, each time on the sidewalk w/dirty looks from peds & cops. :mad: Now I bomb everything on a road conversion running as many reds as possible to stay 5 steps ahead of latte' drinkin' cagers on cells. Cops give me thumbs up and waves now. Respect.

cycling.tv has some track racing videos...including Magnus Backstedt failed attempt at the hour record, and the 2004 West Indies vs the world

[flythebike]

Really bummed I can't get the Windows MP to work on my Mac Mini with Tiger 10.4. Wish Microsoft would get off its *****.

The good news is I have a wound-up track fork on my ride now.

I have ridden crazier than on those Dig vids, sure. Throwin' down DC's Fastest Messenger 3 times. Still roll brakeless riding fixed nearly every day age 35. Scared myself bad a few times just today. For sure better to run the red and get ahead. But take care and see everything and leave yourself a way out. Don't do things blind, or eventually you'll suffer.

I suggest the pacer has a look at the UCI rules for pacing.
