20100831 Rentschler Field A Race - First As A Cat 2 - SprinterDellaCasa Helmet Cam

[r56mini]

I died watching it when you were debating to be or not to be. I would have given up. But I am a Cat 6 rider.. LOL

[RamsayVituperation]

Your commentary is excellent. I certainly wouldn't know how to last as long as you have. Was this crit over 20 miles? Great placing~ Hope you enjoyed racing as much as I had watched it. Keep up the great work.

[SprinterDellaCasa]

@RamsayVituperation I don't know the distance but it was 45 minutes plus 5 laps total. Thanks for the nice comments too :)

Nice video,I do not like Rentschler Field race,I fell there.

[SprinterDellaCasa]

@bandera001 Thanks on the video. As far as the race course, I think it's fun and makes for great speed work; the riders themselves make course safe or not. I myself crashed there heavily Aug 2009, breaking my pelvis (first broken bone ever). That crash is why I always ride with a helmet cam now, in case I'm in a situation again where I need to be able to show what happened. Last year and this year it's been very safe, generally speaking.

@SprinterDellaCasa Hello Sprinter.You are right,riders make it safer or dangerous,I fell on 2008 I was at the back of the peloton when another rider just cut infront of me hiting my front tire with his rear and that was it.I went back a couple of times but felt nervous and also out of shape.I love the Bethel one cause it feels more like a route.Again,you are doing a nice job with the videos,is real action from a real world rider if you know what I mean.Take care.

Great video and very interesting race. This and your other videos helped me tremendously to get through winter months of doing workouts on the trainer.

[SprinterDellaCasa]

@alexeiz glad to be of help. It was an inspired race, that's for sure. I hope your season goes well.

I have subscribed, I love these video's! Nice to be able to read what was going on in your head at the time.

Keep up the great work

[GildedAlien]

Haha, I loved your analogies 

[SprinterDellaCasa]

@GildedAlien Heh. I was trying to figure out a non-cycling way of explaining it and I'd just been trying to explain to someone why he should pay off credit card debt quicker than slower.

[thelehmannator1]

Great video! The editing is great, cuts straight to the action!

[SprinterDellaCasa]

@thelehmannator1 glad you liked it!

[UsaModOne]

I suffered just watching.

[SprinterDellaCasa]

@UsaModOne Heh thanks. I can't believe I didn't give up.

[CiachoLover]

And that's why everyone hates sprinters. They win even though they suck.

[SprinterDellaCasa]

@CiachoLover Heh :)

[kskim91]

Congrats! Thanks for the videos!

[Nawlins5]

Love the credit card thing! LOL

[SprinterDellaCasa]

@Nawlins5 I like it too :) "20 or 30 years" I was trying to think of ways that people could relate to trying to bridge a gap.

[mcba]

That was effing epic.

[SprinterDellaCasa]

@mcba I was suffering like crazy in that race, but I just couldn't give up. I felt so much internal pressure to keep going... I skipped a bunch of them but I probably almost sat up 5 or 6 times, seriously contemplated it. But in the end...

What's crazy is that for Ron and Aiden, it's just a training ride. Aiden rides there and it's not a short ride. They are so much stronger it's just incredible. Others too, but they basically dominate the series year 'round.
