Very cool slow motion video of Paris-Roubaix

Check out the rock impact at 1:37. And to think how many times over the course of the race this happens.

Cycling is already beautiful to watch. THAT made it look even MORE amazing! I could watch that for hours. Are there more videos like it somewhere?

Thanks, you two! Tedzo, here's another by the same guy. Not quite the same amount of slow-motion footage, but beautiful nonetheless.

Thanks, Xela. This guy has a very captivating style of video making. I particularly like the music he uses.

Pretty amazing vids.. The second one definitely has more of an emotional quality to it. More of a story than just guys riding by on bikes.

Fabian was already clear in that last video from P-R 2010. That's one of those races I'll always remember.

I just saw this on another forum (okay....but this is the nicest one) and thought that it is spectacular. The slow motion shots of the impacts of the tires on the cobbles are first rate and the B&W silming just sets the perfect mood....absolutely fabulously done.

Cheers,

Brian J.
