It seems like #357 turned his handlebars to the right just before the crash (even though the turn was towards the left). Do you think he was trying a countersteer maneuver, but it was too exaggerated and therefore he went outside of his line?

umd, you videos are amazing! adding all those fancy gauges really makes it interesting and even a compelling watch!
You might have answered this question before, but how much did you end up spending setting up the whole thing and how much time does it take to compile a video?

Thanks. The camera was about $250 and the software was I think $250. Memory card was $50. I can make a video pretty quickly if I just take a clip, it takes longer if I edit it and add commentary, etc. It's just a matter of converting the garmin data to a format the software understands, then determining the sync point.
Which Garmin unit do you use?

So I had some fun the other day, and did two runs of a descent on video. I noticed that my times were nearly identical and got the idea to composite them together. It's pretty cool to see how close they were on some of the turns.

Here's a video of my (short) commute. Probably not nearly as interesting as the other videos in this thread.
The camera I used was a very cheap Polaroid i739, which is a digital camera. I used a toe strap to strap it to my handlebars.

From the Road Racing Forum:
Wet race. I learned the hard way that the ContourHD is NOT waterproof. I couldn't use the cam the next day at a dry race because of the condensation inside the camera.
I almost fell, on my own, in every bend in the course, and decided that I better sit at the back for safety's sake. Started moving up with about 1/4 of a lap to go, led through the last turn, and screwed up the sprint.
There was a minor distraction where two guys got into it on the right side. The antagonist actually lost control, hit the other guy's derailleur, and crashed into a lamp post. He then got up, chased down the other guy on foot (the other guy's derailleur was broken), threw something at him (his bike or his wheel), then proceeded to stomp on the broken derailleur guy's rear wheel. This is why you see the golf carts, carrying EMT folks, driving all over the place - they were chasing one another around the course. I only catch the initial crash on camera. The rest of it happened in various areas off course.
Text version here.

I've done that climb and descent so many times I could probably do it blindfolded...
Actually I did it in the dark once, by moonlight

I made this video on Thursday. It's a lot better than my other videos, but it's not HD.
This is the camera mount. Cost 76 cents.
Lastly, for the people uploading their videos to Youtube and use iMovie, do you convert the file so you can upload it to Youtube? I tried to upload my m4v file, but it wouldn't work so I used Vimeo instead.

Thanks, just doing my part to keep some substance in the 41. I have a bunch of videos I shot recently but have not had time to edit because I was remodeling/cleaning up my house for a "tdf party". I'm all done now, so hopefully I will get to the videos soon. Some cool descending of Mt Tam, crossing the Golden Gate, and riding around San Francisco. As well as some more local rides and descents.
