[manicvelocity1]

I loved the course. Sunny day. I had a blast!

[brendanseesall]

did you do it this year!?

[DataDrivenAthlete]

@brendanseesall Not this go around :)

[DataDrivenAthlete]

@manicvelocity1 Good luck! Should be great weather :)

[manicvelocity1]

@DataDrivenAthlete

Thank you.

[TBONUS88]

that was awesome! jesus, brutal crash. you killed it, though, props

[superfisto]

Thanks. I'm thinking about racing this in Feb. Your video offers some virtual recon.

[beatusmongous]

I love the wheelset on the bike just to the left of the crash. No markings means it could be a Handspun product.

[fragglevooper]

Cool! Great vid



[metalpickle]

nice video... and great music to go with it..... cycling and crashes sometimes go hand in hand... hope it works out better next time :-)

[patsfan1244]

nice vid



[DDanksAKADoubleD]

What camera were you using?

[DataDrivenAthlete]

@DDanksAKADoubleD I use a GoPro HD

[rdlavine]

Hmmm weird! Oh well, we will just have to amaze our friends from a laptop! Thanks for having your helmet cam on!

[rdlavine]

It just won't play on the iphone. I don't know why.

[DataDrivenAthlete]

@rdlavine I've looked into things and I think the problem is with the Youtube licensing agreement with different record companies...some seem to allow their music to be played on mobile devices and some do not...

[rdlavine]

This is my husband we love this and can't view it amymore

[DataDrivenAthlete]

@rdlavine Howdy...not sure what problem you're having...the video seems to be playing fine...

[bigbadbecks73]

Having the video on your bike really brings home how fast a crash can occur. Great footage btw no where near as much vibration as I would've expected.

[rossonmike]

I love how you were airborne going 15 miles per hour! That was awesome! You're attack was breath taking on how much power you put into it! Maxing out at 191!

[imajeepster]

not for the nervous!

[mheaven26]

great video and great looking circuit. wish we could get closed roads and a circuit like that in britain.

[massarob81]

what kind of software for the overlay data? thanks

[solsurfer71]

@massarob81 data overlay is done with DashWare

[ggjeffy]

Very good video. What caused that first guy to wreck?

[biazottipaulo]

I wish I could! Now I have to face the asians in Hong Kong..at least for 2 more years! first race next week! lets see how it goes!

[biazottipaulo]

everytime I see something about america I get homesick,...this one almost put me down in tears...nice footage!

[DataDrivenAthlete]

@biazottipaulo Come back to the grand ole' US of A! The racing action is just starting to heat up in NorCal!

[britCpower]

As always a really good bit of video work and a nice lone break too. They need to put your setup on Cavendish for a Tour Bunch Sprint.

[chsspartan]

also I like the guy on the right that bunny hops at 5:57, now thats jump roping it

[chsspartan]

good job at taking one for the cycling community, that crash was wicked, sucks tho.. Im surprise this hasnt happened to me yet. every race i go into theres a wreck right in front of me always it seems and I barely get out of it even if i blow a tire from skidding. one of these days i know my luck will change lol, im not a good bike handler either

[JoeOxfordCT]

Hey, nice video....hope everyone came out of the crash ok. How was everyone's bike ? I belong to a club and do alot of group ride and have been tempted to try racing but I would have to setup a beater bike. I couldn't handle (afford) wrecking my bike like that. It's already the most expensive "toy" I own. Last thing I need to do is come with a broken collarbone & bike.....

Best of luck though !

[sdelk]

Hi! Sick video and nice attack!

what cam are you using if I may ask?

[DataDrivenAthlete]

@sdelk Hello, thanks for checking out the vid. I use a GoPro HD camera

[joaoisme]

That is a cool video. Sorry for the crash.

[DataDrivenAthlete]

@Iphonefreakification Hey, thanks for checking out the video and for the kind words! Don't worry, if you keep training smart and racing hard you're going to be kicking my butt in no time! Most of us racing only wish we were as smart as you to discover such an amazing sport at such a young age!

[sweixel]

Glad to see people making good use of my gauges in DashWare :)

[DataDrivenAthlete]

@sweixel You're the man...I still think your gauge design is the best I've seen of any telemetry footage!

[sweixel]

@DataDrivenAthlete Thanks, I spent a lot of time on it. 

[RastaMonkey44]

The crash starts around 5:40 for anyone who wants to skip to it.

[babyjp37]

That was me riding for Taleo I barely miss the person I had to do a fast left and a little brake it was crazy !!!

[Bontador1]

A actually thought I made it through that hole on the left, then "bam"... I get launched into the air! My biggest fear was the huge group coming from behind once I hit the ground. Glad nobody got seriously hurt. I'll see you guys out there next time.

[curmorpheus]

Great video, glad everyone's ok. I was on your wheel and slid by on the left as you went down (blue bike, black shorts, 490)...fun to see it in slow motion.

[Bontador1]

Thanks for the video, I'm the guy in front of you doing the flip.

I actually came out of that one better than it looked, nothing seriously injured, just some bruising, etc. Haven't really looked at the bike yet though.

[DataDrivenAthlete]

@Bontador1 Glad you turned out OK! You made quite the valiant effort to avoid the carnage :)

[rdlavine]

That is my husband! Quite the front flip.

[Keopele19]

I was right behind you! I didn't crash, just came to a stop. Nice attack, but tough break near the end. Did you catch the other crash just after the hairpin on the downhill?

[DataDrivenAthlete]

@Keopele19 No, I was in front of that one...I heard it go off behind me

[Keopele19]

@DataDrivenAthlete that one was wicked too. I got pretty lucky as it unfolded right in front of me. I zigged while the carnage zagged.

[jouxpane]

What a wicked fast pull. Seems so much faster than the Cal Aggie Crit. Glad to hear you're alright. That footage is incredibly clean, and fun to watch. Can't wait for more.

[accordionjon]

wow! that's some crazy footage. 

[ate2fiver]

Pretty solid bike handling by Cat 4s in that crash. Did you PUT down your bike, or did you actually fall? I assume no one was hurt?

[DataDrivenAthlete]

@ate2fiver No...I went down...I tried to squeeze by near the curb but couldn't make it...not sure if anybody was hurt...the guy in front of me looks like he might have taken the worst impact
