Excellent video. How did they shoot the vehicle based video so smoothly? Also how fast did he go?

Saw his speeds on KA72 not long ago. Bit surprised to see a Frenchman using KA72 so had a look at his La Franqui tracks on Google and was even more surprised to see it was on a long but very narrow canal a fair way in from the shore. Couldn't even figure which way he was going.
No chance of a slingshot there.

still using a Mac , Andrew?

I just use gpsvisualizer as I don't have Google earth on this computer.

You can then even use non-google maps if you want.

Mechouille, Is that a Meanline fin that Pirre is using? If so, what size?

Looks like a fun spot. Thanks for posting the footage. Pirre has that Falcon 51 moving. Any idea of the 2sec peak to put things in perspective Mechouille?

No, its tectonic falcon 24

I think with very good condition, and if canal is more longer, over 45 @ 500m is possible

But its natural canal, and sometimes is empty and condition very perfect !!!

Nice footage, anyone else think around 1:55 the footage is sped up before it goes slo-mo as rider slows down?

Let's ask ...

Méchouille, la video est elle accélerée à 1.55 ?, c'est vrai que ça en donne l'impression.

merci
