KH segment, discovery channel

[danger_uni]

Hey,

Earlier this year I shot a short segment for a Discovery Channel science show called the Daily Planet. The intent wasn’t to make something really technical; instead it was to help non-riders understand more about our sport.

Right now it’s showing up at www.discoverychannel.ca if you check the sidebar on the lower right.

Is it gonna be on the telly? If yes, then I’m going to my friend’s house to watch!

And congratulations! It’s nice to have some coverage.

[danger_uni]

Yes it will rerun quite a few times on the Daily Planet, but it’s easier to watch it online at discoverychannel.ca.

Won’t let us in the USA play the video.

SORRY! You can’t play the CTV Broadband Channel videos in your country.

[ivan]

Great! And easy is not the point. If I go to my friend’s house I’ll get him to watch it too, you see. I’m a rider, so I don’t really need to watch a vid for non-riders to understand the sport, but my friend does.

No, nor the UK either

Doesn’t work in the UK either

EDIT: Ooh, stereo!

[danger_uni]

OK, it seems that it doesn’t play outside Canada. Must be a licensing issue. If I get a copy I’ll post it somewhere else.

Thanks Kris. I couldn’t find it on the US site either. Apparently Discoverychannel.ca is much cooler than Discoverychannel.com. However I did like the piece I saw on “Designing the Future, 2030” about a group of college students competing at the General Motors Tech Center to design a car for 2030. I was in a very similar program in 1979, but as a high school student at Chrysler.

[aqua_scummmm]

I’d be able to mirror it if you don’t want to waste bandwidth, too.

If you get a copy

[zfreak220]

soooooo, is there anyway to watch this in the us yet?

[danger_uni]

I’ll obtain a DVD copy and post it once I get it.

There are six episodes of “Futurecar” (that I know of; I don’t think there are more though). The later ones rehash a decent amount of info from the first few, but do have some new material also.
