2010 Nutmeg State Games, Cat 3s - SprinterDellaCasa Helmet Cam

June 12, 2010 Nutmeg State Games, New Britain, CT. Cat 3s. Small field, rainy wet conditions. Tail gunned, gambled everything on a last lap move. It almost worked.

I really like the song @ 3:43

@kpeking1 I'll have to tell my brother. He was experimenting with his keyboard or something and used some scales thing he made up to see how it came out. He actually told me he thought it was funny that I used his "scrap music" bit in clips.

AMAZING video! That was so cool to see going from tail gunning to leading the field in less than one lap. Nice fake sprint, too.

[SprinterDellaCasa]

@MykelNahorniak thanks. I realized I hadn't done a "fake sprint" (or rather a fake jump) in a long, long time. So when I did it, I overestimated my own strength and underestimated the guys around me. Practice makes perfect.

I would be so nervous every turn.

[SprinterDellaCasa]

@ptle trust me, I was nervous. I had a couple "clenching" moments where I thought I'd ride right off the road. Luckily I felt okay everywhere else, and my brakes were fine.

Someone asked me elsewhere if I'd lowered the air pressure in the tires. I ran 95/105 psi on HED Bastogne rims (wide rims) and Bontrager All Condition clinchers.

Another great vid, Aki! It looked like a pretty good day to tail-gun. Nice recovery to the sprint. I couldn't have covered that. :)
