purchased this item because i liked the spinervals competition series so much and because i know the lake placid area well...could be a great video with a couple of changes...1) i don''t mind the "coach troy cam" when it is a small frame to the side of the main frame, but when it is the only view, it is horrible...it is very blurry which makes it hard to watch for long, and it flattens the road so you cannot determine the grade of a climb or descent...the climb out of jay is 100% "troy cam" and while it is described by troy as a hard climb, it is impossible to tell...and did i mention that it is blurry the whole time?
2) troy''s incessant chatter is ok when he is talking about technical things like gear ratios, cadence, heart rate, etc...but the filler stuff is hard to take ("i''m looking around to see where you are...thought i had lost you..." or "the sign ahead says take a right to go to ''some town name'' but we''re not going there so don''t worry about it, although we will be taking a right eventually"
so, for future road series dvd''s, i hope spinervals gets rid of the helmet cam and limits troy to the technical aspects of the ride and let the video speak for the rest.
