Depends what you mean by jerky. Some of the in car footage has that typical tearing that you get on cheap sensors with fast motion.
But no, generally the video should be silky smooth.

You must have had a great time! I'm jealous.
The video is well done, as well.

Because Flash is garbage.
Try it again using Chrome or Safari, and turn on HTML5 video mode. (Firefox supports HTML5 video now; I'm not sure why Vimeo doesn't enable that option for it.)

Firefox does not support HTML5 video when encoded with H.264. Only OGG Theora, or soon Google WebM. Vimeo only uses H.264 in their HTML5 player.

It certainly was an amazing day, we were taking it fairly slowly, there were people lapping twice as fast as us. Only 4 of the 150 cars ended up in the barriers... ...which apparently is much better than average, the usually quoted figure is that 10% of cars entering the track contact the barriers at some point

Apple need to use a segment of that, or a recreation, in one of their new commercials. Brilliant.

Does the BBS embed them without the fullscreen ability or is that something you chose when grabbing the embed code?

I just used the BBS's own video embed feature (little icon that looks like a monitor on the composition page.) Looks to me like the BBS might setup the links to embed that way, which is sub-optimal. If any of the admins are reading (I no longer have the keys to the kingdom) maybe they can tweak that?

I seem to recall a coach telling me that there was no penalty for tipping a hurdle, and that you could do just what that guy was doing.
It's just that going over is generally faster.

There are now specifications for the tipping weight of a hurdle (the weights need to be adjusted to correspond with the height of the hurdle) so hitting a hurdle theoretically slows down the rhythm of the hurdler. However, pushing the hurdle with one's hands or running out of one's lane as a result of hitting the hurdle is cause for disqualification.

hitting a hurdle theoretically slows down the rhythm of the hurdler There's no "theoretically" about it. Back when I was in high school track, I used to train using hurdles (I ran steeplechase). Hitting hurdles, even just clipping them with your heel, throws off your stride. It wasn't so much a problem with the non-weighted hurdles -- a light breeze was enough to blow them over, sometimes.

Opened this link with the sound turned down, saw the first 5 seconds of the video portion only, and giggled because I think I get the setup already. It's a "dead parrot sketch" parody, right? Putting in the headphones and listening now...

Dead Parrot I knew, but Fork Handles was a new one for me. Divided by a common language.

My new favourite track of 2010: Abigail's Song. NOTE: The above link is a major spoiler if you have not already watched Doctor Who - A Christmas Carol (2010) from the BBC. Wow!
