Lots of good points from everybody but as I have said after each of the last videos GCN arrive with their view of the world, what they think will excite their viewers and their priorities.  We need to understand the purpose of these videos is to promote GCN we are the grateful recipients of the free publicity.

I / we are trying to get another one set up for racing next year and lots of ideas however we must remember these guys are sponsored / paid to ride and promote certain things we can't just go round showing how a 60 year old bloke in a home built thing can thrash them whilst they are riding their sponsors fancy new carbon thingy.

Please bear with us it takes a hell of a lot of effort by a very small number of people to make these videos happen and we all know what we'd like to show but its not our show, we should appreciate that we get 70+ thousand people seeing what we do.  Your praise and positive comments are much appreciated.

Barney

GCN have now changed the video to "Weird, Wacky and Wonderful Recumbent Racing!"

Which is worse than it was to start with.

I was about to say the same, much more atmospheric, better camera work, and synced with the music.  I find GCN a tad brash, and hardly watch it, but Veloads vids are much easier to watch, and for me, much more proffessional.

I think Magda did the video. Maybe it was a joint effort?

All the best.
