Thanks... that would be quite cool to see. The track is closed now a bit of work to be done after the Olympics, and wont have ice again until the fall. I have 3 cameras... and if we can get permission to carry them in the track well be at it again in the fall hopefully. One point the track is covered metal roof open on the sides. This may affect gps reception. Ive carried a cycling gps but it doesnt update quick enough that I can tell and isnt very accurate. How do you record Gforce etc Ill keep your tech in mind when we get back to the track. fc

fchiasson liked Mr. Alphabet's story April 409 Marc follows mralphabet jmemay upper Freddy Line

Leading the tour thru the trees on skiers left of Panorama. Lots of great lines thru this forested slalom course. Marc was stoked to be toured around by 2 of the VholdR Top 5 Snowboarding contest winners today

Bobsleigh Pilot Training Whistler Sliding Centre or the original Snowmobile

Early in January I had the privileged opportunity to ride as brakeman on a 2man bobsleigh in the Whistler track. 18 runs over about 2 weeks, just before the 2010 Winter Olympic games. Rolling out of the start area at corner 3 the sled quickly accelera

A short section of the trail A River Runs Through It my first test of the new Contour HD helmet cam. The camera ran quite reliably still a little shaky and rattly may have to apply some duct tape to quieten it down a bit.
