Most videos I notice it, but usually I don't watch Youtube videos with sound on, I mute them and have my own music playing.

Don't know why it wouldn't recognize it... mine seems to do a fine job.

Seems if I go too fast, there's no time to do that. But I'll tell you, I LOVE the speed and feeling of flying off those stair sets and landing with all that momentum! But yeah, I'm still working on getting more height.

I also think I may be favoring my forward foot (left) more than my right, and not getting equal amounts of downward "push" on my pedals at time of launch.

lol
i only push off my left foot. my right foot has actually come OFF the pedal on my takeoff. its more of a natural thing for me, but i'm pushing up (without killing my forward momentum). you have to be kind of comfortable with the motion of your feet. enough so that you can do a little hop, say 2 feet rolling, and come to a dead stop within a pedal, and be comfortable with the whole thing.

also i have to say, of all the videos i have seen yours expressed the best warmup. i would NEVER go for a set bigger than an 8 (i'm comfortable with them) if i hadn't been jumping 8s or bigger within a few days of the jump. for you, having never done an 8 before, i like how you got comfortable with the 6 first. your video was actually very entertaining.

Outputting to a stereo, which has expensive ass Sony home theater speakers.

It's just the WMM audio compression, it's terrible.

i believe you and all, but i've never heard it, and i've listened to a TON of movies made in WMM. it could be your sound card or your cable?

Highly doubt that.

I asked a couple people on my MSN list who have good ears like me, I just asked them if it sounded funny, they said they could hear funny sounds too.

I went on my Moms computer with a dying sound card and cheap 6 year old Polk Audio speakers, I can hear it just as good on that.

Anyways, it's not that important, WMM with the settings Terry is using, has weird artifacts in the sound.

Well, I usually use the default "recommended" DVD quality.

Not a day over 25 - that must be his fake ID from high school

The teacher in me wants to know what sorts of things would prompt a kid to say "I'm stupid" into a video camera ...

Great job, Terry. I'm going to have to get over my fear of jumps ... (but I guess I have a few years yet) :-)

Very entertaining, (and impressive!). And I vote that the music was awesome.

And poop on the wheel is sometimes part of life, my 26er muni still has goose doodoo from a recent ride. No biggie.

Keep on truckin'
