Found myself watching for bad surface and sand while leaning with the
turns. <sfsf>
Nice steady viewing, fun to watch.

Thanks. I'm pleased with the result given that I'm using a 4 year old cheep sony cybershot
camera and a floppy 20 dollar mount. It even looks OK in high-res, full-screen except for
the focus shifting thing, which I will try to figger out. I will try to post more as the
summer evolves.
The wife mocks me, but I like watching stuff like that, it allows me to disconnect a bit.
I don't go so far as to rig up a fan or put water in my shoes, but it is fun.
Have a vicarious beverage on me.
