yes you can get any 'skate' style shoe resoled with stealth rubber and this is what I did! reasons... * cheaper than buying a full pair of trainers (if its just the sole thats worn out) * looks - there are shoes out there that look a lot better than most of the 5.10 range, nike6.0's are just one example. I had a pair of nike 6.0 encore's that the sole had worn out but the upper shoe was fine and in good condition so i sent the shoes off to get resoled at... http://www.feetfirst.resoles.co.uk/cycling_mtb_shoe_repair.php i think the price has gone up a little since i did it but I have never looked back and there turnaround is quick (couple of days for standard delivery) - i would do it again. it is a brilliant upgrade and they work even better than the nike6.0's before (which i found to be good anyway.)

the biggest problem with this comparison is that its been converted into a flash video. Isn't all flash 12fps!? any ways my point is that once you make the flv you will lose a lot the quality and frame rate you had in order to make it have quick playback online. Even avi's have variable frame rate to increase buffering speed or decrease file size while maintaining a good viewing quality. I am sure if you had the original videos - quicktimes aren't too heavy but retain the true frame rate available for download then people would be be able to see much clearer difference. and it is true film (hollywood and the rest) for the most part film at 24fps (only going more for slow-mo's and effects) and the end result in the cinema is always 24fps.

awesome vid!! how did you do that zoom under the bridge around 90secs in? was it just sped up zoom in post or did you enhance it digitally?
