I have looked again and again at 'bikerace.mpg', and reckon that it is all posed. Before going into detail, I am willing to be shot down in flames by anyone who disagrees, but everything about it is just a little too conveniant.
a. The camera pans effortlessly across the scene, and is positioned ideally to capture the bridge and water, even panning back as the guy falls.
b. The competitor whom has been knocked off, rolls around a bit too dramatically (and incidently is ignored by man no.2 whom is more interested in delicately moving his bike)
c. The guy who eventually does go over the bridge over acts when first slung against the side. (ok that's tenuous)
d. ALL the spectators in the background seem to be watching the bridge expectantly, as the race goes on behind them.
Does anybody else agree? (or do I have too much time on my hands)
Merry Christmas
Dan
