Here’s a photo of Michelle and I from the Miami Heat vs Cleveland Cavs game. There was a fight right near us between Cavs and Heat fans, which I managed to get really good video of. I will upload it as soon as I get a better internet connection.

Carting is sick!!!!

I’ve never done it before, and yep took a POV with me. I actually took 2 but because of the rush didn’t take spare batteries or all my mounting hardware.

It was a Christmas work party so there were a few of us (12peeps). 2 X 8 laps then a 12 lap final.

The first run I didn’t use the SD slot cover and the vibration of the cart dislodged the card = fail!
2nd run mounted the cam to the headrest and managed to vid 3 laps - nervous about losing footage after the first attempt I saved to the card while driving. At this stage I was overtaken and… well….. I’m competitive. I turned the cam off instead of hitting rec. = Semi fail! But got within 3sec of the track record!!!!!! and knocked 2 sec off my best time.

Finals - seeded #1 and with pole position. I mounted the cam on the carts bump skirt behind the front wheel but guess what. FAIL!!!!!! On the first lap I was driving so tight that it was taken off when I shaved the tire wall. On the third lap mum decided to park in the middle of the track when I was tailing her. I T-boned her on the second fastest part of the track and cracked one of her ribs. Hit her so hard that her cart was pushed out of the way and I was able to keep going. Next lap I needed assistance after wedging myself and another into a wall. It was then I was told the cam had come loose.

It was wrapped around the axle and had been throwing sparks off the tarmac the whole time.

Do I need to say it recorded the whole time it was under the cart and only has aesthetic damage.
No I don’t! It’s a VIO POV - toughest cam in the world.

Oh yeah, I won and was awarded a trophy. Footage later!

I think karting and tooth fillings don’t mix! My new filling fell out this morning- it must have been shaken loose wink
It’s a pity I didn’t get some tight passing footage or the epic crash that broke mums ribs!!

Yeah I saw a few fish around the boat when I went for a dive. The canal isn’t too busy (with people/boats) at the moment, so not much food in the water, so not many fish. Just out of the canal though, there are lots of fish. We are going fishing tomorrow I think.

Be careful diving in a canal. If it’s anything like Surfers Paradise- the canals are full of the most dangerous shark to people in the world. BULL SHARKS.
