Got a chance to play around with a Flip mino HD camera, nifty little point and shoot. View the above video at Vimeo in HD. Decent quality 720p HD video 1280×720@30fps, there are a few tricky bits to the device, it has a fixed focal distance (0.8m to infinity) and fixed focal length which creates a pretty narrow angle of view causing you to have to be further back from the subject you’re shooting than you’d expect to be. Below are some stills I pulled from the above video. It’s certainly no RED, but for what it is, it’ll do.

Due to illness, we only fielded a team of 2 instead of the originally planned 4 at the Harlem Skyscraper Cycling Classic; but Peter and Landen held their own and raced well in an aggressive flat 4 corner, covering the 40mile race at an avg of 30mph! I live-tweeted the race:

New design is up and running for Chris Jones, I learned several lessons from version 1 that launched last year and kept those in consideration: 1 year more experience with custom WordPress templates, ease in maintaining the site – no more silly super wide format random and rotating highlight images, etc… All the big highlight photos (so far) are from Chris’ friend, a truely talented photographer and videographer based in Redding, CA, Jesse Rosten. Lots of minor tweaks and finishing touches still happening, anyway, check it out at: christopherjones.info

The guys at SRAM Neutral Race Support are easily the best, and possibly too often the least noticed, feature at any race. Fast, friendly, accessable, knowledgable service… in a world where people are increasingly not getting it [cyclingnews.com via citebite.com] (srsly, a brawl, at a cross race? when did we reach euro soccer status… and where’s all that money?) these guys simply get it. SRAM does a great job supporting the crew and it translates well to every competitor they help from the beginners to the very last elite racer.
