Leading makes for boring footage

Indeed it does, as does getting left so far behind you can't see anyone anymore. I sometimes struggle with these issues a bit with the guys down here when adventuring with camera.

Or if the camera is broked.

That Black Birch Track footage would have been sweet.

I went to turn the camera on whilst heading over to the shotgun start at the 3-hour and it wouldn't turn on at all.
Just needed the batteries popping and reinserting

Didn't have the time though...

Yep - ATC2K 320x200 @ 15fps.
Next MX race I'll try 640x480 @ 30fps.

It's helmet mounted now and in no way involves drilling a 4mm hole in the helmet and drilling and milling an appropriate hole in the ATC mount and bolting it to the helmet next to the metalwork from the chinstrap.
No not at all.

I'm working my way through the different popcorn versions on my vids

That was the Hot Butter techno mix from 1999.

...and I was too busy trying to stay upright that I didn't even notice!! It was very, very greasy everywhere, which made it a lot of fun. Glad I had pretty decent tyres. I reckon it was as hard as the 6 hour last year, run in similar weather conditions - but with a better surface so it wasn't as intense.

Very, very good practice for bike control.

Ah, was thinking it may have been Youtube, as mine was clearer than that in the short time I've used it, good to see it's still a reasonable quality still on the lower settings.
