Every once in a while something really special emerges from the Internet, this is one such…
A beautiful time lapse movie combined with just the right music :) – the beginning of the lovely “Samskeyti” by “Sigur Rós”
So… full screen it, lean back and enjoy.
Several long days later….
It has been a dirty war with battles lost and won…
It is also compatible with Polars own heart rate monitors and that at the same time :)
Thats great news (for me at least) since now I can continue using both the Nike+ for easy data collection, and the more advanced features in the Polar Protrainer. I had already abandoned the thought of getting the heart rate monitoring part of Nike+ working because of the issue in then having to wear two straps, well this little news story changed all that :)

Geeky stuff for runners only, but maybe there are others like me out there :)
I had a very good day out at my first ever Aalborg Karneval :-)
Beautiful weather, mostly happy people and sailing with the “The Black Pørl” was over smooth seas :)
We stopped under every bridge and DJ Lasse did very good with crowd pleasing entertainment - this little clip is from underneath the Limfjordsbroen, cirtantly one of the highlights of the parade.
I had some guardduty during the event, trying to make sure no one got caught underneath our trailler with diesel-generator/dance-podium. Here getting some much needed help from one friendly Mr. Clown
He sure seems to know what he is doing right ? :-)
Was definitely a party done right, so big thanks to all the Disco-Pirates and the 9000-Posen posse for having me along.
Our little site is currently undergoing a design update and quite a lot of maintenance (and about time) so things here will probably look quite messy for a while.
The race was set off by the ever so happy Ole Henriksen himself - and what a way to start :)
Not sure if it was his happy-go-lucky approach that infected me, but I had a really good run and finally broke the magic (for me) hour – so thanks Ole “I love it” Henriksen ;)
Result is under “events completed”
Luv this tune… and also the video by Anders Morgentahler, even if the waterbombs are a little whimpy :)
I did a test with the VholdR ContourHD helmet cam on a small jump in the backcountry of our neighbourhood some weeks ago and fiddled with the entire VholdR setup. The mounting, the recording, the transferring , the editing (with all sorts of software) and then posting to VholdRs video community.
The VholdR’s mounting system I used was the enclosed goggles-mount. Very easy to attach and it fit well and worked flawlessly with my SPY goggles and also when wearing helmet. I did though on my later trip to Sälen Sweden find that at high speeds, the camera has a tendency to wobble (Ill post a video of that later).
Recording could not be easier… Slider forward to start recording, and slider back to stop recording. Look around, and it will record what you look at :) only downside is the plastic cap protecting the battery and SD-card kept coming off when I was operating the recordingslider.
Transferring the captures is also simple, attach the mini usb and a folder appears on your computer and then you just drag and drop. Same usb is used to recharge the battery.
Editing… oh my… that’s an all together different story… First of all I had problems enough with just finding some intuitive software that would work with the H.264 format .mov files, then more problems with simple editing tasks and in the end removal of sound.
Posting to the community is done from the VholdR Easyedit software or right on the VholdR community page, either way click upload and guess what ? well yeah it uploads…
And finally here is the embedded clip of me doing a quick 180, no grab, no nothing.
The VholdR ContourHD is one of the coolest gadgets I have ever purchased. If you ski, snowboard, basejump, paraglide, windsurf, race cars/bikes, skateboard or mountainbike, go get one :)
Sadly not purchesed before the annual skitrip with the offpiste-gang, though still in good time for some winter fun :) So keep posted for some helmetcam videos from my Vholdr ContourHD 720 in a few weeks time. Also a full review of the (I think) awesome looking Rossignol Bandit SC86 that I look very much forward to testing in the near future. I hope they will bring as much fun as my old K2 Public Enemy skies that have been passed along to someone else via the classifieds on www.skisport.dk
Had to do a one day trip to Odense and back to pick up some furniture. It was a drive well over 500 Km. and this tune fit perfectly to driving in the dark.
