12/10/2004 Entry: "muni videos"

Firstly, on the job front, had some more communication today, and although I may not like the job, I have no problems with my boss anymore. We're on the same page. I think we should hang out outside of work more. We have the same dog...

ANYWAY, as I alluded to earlier in an earlier entry, we have a unicycle trials course in my garage. So, I'm posting some videos of it. I'm don't have many pictures of it because neither my camera or Mark's take decent pictures in the garage. I don't know why. But, I have a few. Mostly, though, you should look at the videos. (if you haven't figured out how to view divx yet leave me a message in the comments)

Pictures:
The Course
Me hopping on a 3 pallet high stack (after riding up the ramp)

Video: (640x480 divx, should work fine fullscreen)
Mark riding the course, and falling. (3.55 megs)
Mark taking a slightly different line, and falling. (2.57 megs)
Mark crash reel (fun!) (9.18 megs - some language not suitable for children)

Extra Pictures -> Why you should wear leg armor: (courtesy of Mark)
won | too (you'll notice he's wearing armor in the above videos)

The video quality was much better before compressing, but they were over 20 megs and no one wants that. (the last one was something like 80 megs) If you want to see the good versions (higher frame rate, no dropped frames, and no artifacting) ask in the comments (that goes for any video I post). I don't want to throw 'em up here for bandwidth reasons. There are no videos of me riding because Mark's camera takes crappy quality uncompressable .movs, and I'm just not as good as he is at riding yet. Some will come later when we do more with my camera.
