Hey all! For those of you who missed the 2004 NY Muni Weekend, here’s a vid of what you missed! Featuring tons of riders who’s names sometimes escape me, 'cause I’m bad with names…
WARNING!!! 103 Meg download!
Crap! I read “103 MB Dl” only after I clicked save target as. My bandwidth limit!
Oh well, no going back. I have to see what I missed!
Edit: I’m pulling 780KB/s here…not bad. Learn from this, Sofa.
It’s called having a homepage on a CS Club server at university, and the admin giving you 1 Gig of storage 
Now that I’ve watched it, where do I send money?
Good job though. Was that all from the little camera?
Edit: Best bails section in thge history of ever. Thats probably because we fall so hilariously though.
I was wondering if you were crazy for hosting a 103MB file. 
The file I got was only 95.9MB (100,564,992 bytes). Did I get the entire file?
That’s a well done video. Bagpipes are always a plus. Is the film from just one day at the NY Muni Weekend, or is it a combination of several days of riding?
It seems that my first download was incomplete. I downloaded it again and got the entire file. 103 MB (108,988,192 bytes). Sorry about wasting the bandwidth. 
The footage was taken from each day of the Weekend (Friday through Sunday) on my girlfriend’s Canon A60.
Suck down the bandwidth, that server handles 1/3rd of all outgoing traffic from the school… That’s what happens when you mirror a half-dozen different Linux Distributions, kernels, and assorted Open Source software!
Holly crap I have no idea what that just meant… 
Anyways…still downloading the video…I betcha it’s gonna make me feel sorry for myself…
All that means is that the school IT department really really hates us 
Look on the bright side Murde Mental… there’s a reason that I was behind the camera… I think Brian (the Artist Formerly Known as Sofa) filmed me 5 or 6 times on Sunday, and I think I fell at least 4 of those times
But ya gotta go next year
why is it: “not responding”?
Its responding here and only took me 2mins 45 seconds to DL! Hooray for uberfast Internet. Dope Footage!
Smaller Version
Ok, I got a Divx version (at least I think it’s divx) posted, weighs in at about 50 Megs, and just a wee bit crappier quality (I find)…

Laterz!
hey nick the video came out great! better luck next time in front of the camera:D
AWSOME VIDEO!!!
the bagpipes are awsome, and i especially love the shot of me doing the drop that gets paused
I like the video and it is great
Awesome video, great soundtrack. Great job putting it all together, wish I could have been there!
Chuck
It was great. I got 615k making for a >4 minute dl. Good music too.
Im not in it though.
Do you mean ZR60? The A60 is just a digital camera where the ZR60 is a camcorder. That would be a lot of video to store on a memory card and the quality/framerate seemed to be much better than the A60. I’m just curious.
Camera
HAHAHA, you ignorant fools! What are compact flash sizae limitations when you have a laptop! MWUHAHAHAHAHA!!!
Yeah, it’s an A60, I got a 256M flash card, and I took almost no stills, then dumped them all onto the laptop. All told I took about 500 megs of raw footage. I didn’t use nearly all of the footage
Actually, I feel the quality is less than it was before I converted it (The camera uses a funky mjpeg standard that Adobe Premiere couldn’t deal with) and the conversion washed out some of the color and blurred it a wee bit. Which is more than anyone wanted to know.
Oh, and I forgot to credit “Session” by Linkin Park…
Re: Rocks Roots & Rubber (2004 New York Muni Weekend Video)
Thanks for a good video! I get envious - so many pedal freaks getting
together. By the way, I notice that in several uni movies all the
crashes occur in the end of movie. Is this some sort of editing
tradition?
Yeah, from what I gather in skate/snow etc movies you’ve got the crash section near the end… 'Cause hey, you didn’t buy a vid to watch all these “good” riders mess up right?
Sorry you weren’t in the vid Tim… If it makes you feel better, neitehr was I (And I made it!) Next year!
