"Oreo Face Cam": Body Positioning demo vid.

OreoGaborio · 10-11-2008, 11:01 AM

Hey guys, took this vid last week up at NHMS in Loudon NH during a Tony's Track Day event & figured I'd share it w/ ya.

Unfortunately the camera internals came loose inside the bullet cam housing which made the picture SUPER shaky & WAY outta focus so I was only able to get my warm-up lap. Luckily it stayed put just long enough to get back around to the front straight.

Anyway... you guys get the idea.

YouTube - Body Positioning

Things to take notice of:
Loose upper body, arms, grip etc.
Little to no weight on the bars
Early lower-body set-up.
Looking through the turns.
Leading the bike w/ the body & "beating" it to the other side in the switch-backs.
etc, etc.

Hope ya like it.

Video was taken using the pre-packaged set up from CEdigital.com - Digital cameras, GPS navigation, refurbished and new electronics with warranties that I borrowed from my teammate.

I'll be taking it to Thunderbolt Raceway, the brand new track in New Jersey, on Monday & hopefully I can get some more video.

Great Vid.

It'll rock when you can remake it at full speed & more than one lap.

Thanks dude! I don't think full speed will look much different though, but I'll take another video the next time I get back up to Loudon. Unfortunately the soonest I'll be back is April

Darn New England riding season!!!

Each spring I head down to VIR around late March/early April, then the racing season starts back up a few weeks later

Pretty kick ass view man, thanks for posting. I really want to get my bullet cam on my front fender next time.

Thanks, dude.

The problem w/ the fender is sometimes they're a little flimsy & the camera can shake around a bit. Usually under the nose, slightly off-set from center (so the fender doesn't come up & hit it when you compress the suspension) is a good place. Then there's always the old standby of putting it on the tank looking through the windscreen.

A buddy of mine records all his races & he's got his on his side fairing in a super tough bullet cam housing. Give a cool view, but isn't all that crash-worthy even w/ the sturdy housing.
