Dave Haygarth replied to John Bethell's discussion 'Which Camera'

ivor Armstrong uses a good one for the Preston SiS crates. I'll send you a private message with his email address. One thing I know about slo mo functionality is that it generally requires good light conditions because it uses dead fast shutter…

Which Camera

I am keen to buy a video camera with a slow motion facility to use as an aid in judging road race and track finishes or even sprint finishes in cyclo-crosses.

John Bethell replied to John Parkinson's discussion 'Why no cowbells?'

The support from spectators makes an event for me but a cowbell near the judges could be a problem if riders think it is the last lap bell, as for a mankini if you are brave enough to stand on the course in the cold then go for it.

John Bethell replied to Nezbo's discussion 'when did it all begin?'

I rode my first off road races in 1949, they were Harriers versus Cyclists events with the runners getting a start based on the course conditions, the first real cyclo-cross courses I rode would have given the current risk assessment crazy brigade…
