Why does my GoPro Hero play back in slow motion using Windows Media Player

If trying to play GoPro captured video using Windows Media Player the footage will appear to run slower that it should. You need to use a player that supports the video format out of the box. I recommend VLC player a quick and easy solution. Yo can download this free media player from the http://www.videolan.org

5-time World Motocross Champion Roger De Coster to be honored at Motorcycle Hall of Fame

Roger De Coster's name is practically synonymous with the sport of motocross and supercross, and he is generally recognized as the best-known MX racer in the first 50 years of the sport. On Friday, Nov. 18, he will be honored as a Motorcycle Hall of Fame Legend at the annual Motorcycle Hall of Fame Induction Ceremony at the Red Rock Casino, Resort and Spa in Las Vegas, Nev.

When De Coster was inducted into the Motorcycle Hall of Fame in 1999, his racing accomplishments were simply remarkable: five 500cc Motocross World Championships, numerous 500cc Motocross Grand Prix victories and four Trans-AMA Motocross Championships.

He also was a member of six winning Belgium Motocross des Nations teams, was a Gold Medalist in the International Six Day Trial (Enduro) and earned numerous national championships in his native Belgium, including a national Trials title.

De Coster continued to find success after his racing career. He was the manager of the first U.S. team to win the Motocross des Nations in 1981, and managed many U.S. teams at the prestigious event over the years to the present day. He currently is in charge of KTM's Supercross and motocross efforts in the United States.

His stature is such in the world of motocross that he is often simply referred to as "The Man."

"Roger De Coster is not only a motorcycling legend in America, but around the world," said Jeffrey V. Heininger, chairman of the American Motorcycle Heritage Foundation, which raises money for the Hall of Fame. "It's truly an honor for us to be able to honor him."

De Coster, who joins Kenny Roberts as Legends honorees at the Hall of Fame induction ceremony, said he was humbled to receive the honor.

"It's always nice to receive this honor, and yet on the other hand I still have a job to do, and I feel like I still have something to accomplish!" De Coster said. "I am really looking forward to hanging out with Kenny Roberts and reminiscing with all of my friends."

After decades in the sport, De Coster said a few moments stand out.

"Looking back, it was a very good feeling to win the 250cc (Trophee des Nations) and 500cc (Motocross des Nations) nations' titles in 1981 as the American team captain," he said. "It was the first time for the Americans to win the biggest motocross events in the world. Also, to win it (Motocross of Nations) again last year in America was very special."

As a team manager, he has also been part of many memorable AMA Supercross and AMA Motocross campaigns.

"It felt great to win championships with Ricky Carmichael and Chad Reed," he said. "Perhaps the best for me has been Ryan Dungey's title last year because he was a mid-level guy who became a top-level guy. It's a great feeling that the team accomplished this."

De Coster will be honored during the Motorcycle Hall of Fame Induction Ceremony for the Class of 2011, which includes motocross promoter Stu Peters, noted magazine editor Phil Schilling, industry leader Fred Fox, roadracing champion Doug Polen and early motorcycling pioneer Norbert Schickel.

The Class of 2011 will officially be inducted into the Motorcycle Hall of Fame on Nov. 18 as part of the AMA Legends & Champions Weekend. In addition to the induction ceremony, the weekend includes the 2011 Motorcycle Hall of Fame Concours d'Elegance on Saturday, Nov. 19, featuring some of the country's most impressive original and restored classic motorcycles. The AMA Racing Championship Banquet closes out the weekend on Sunday, Nov. 20, where AMA Racing amateur champions of all ages will be recognized for their 2011 accomplishments.

Setting up for Corners Mid-Flight

Saving time on the track is always a priority.  If you can master a technique to get faster, you better take advantage of it.  When things get tight during racing, it?s the little things that add up and make a big difference in the end, especially if you can set up for corner more efficiently.  [...]

RJ Says: Moving to Pro 4 Off-Road Truck Racing in 2011

Last year I won the TORC Pro 2 Off-Road Truck racing championship. This year I'm moving to the Pro 4 class.

What's the difference between Pro 2 and Pro 4? Pro 2 is two wheel drive. Pro 4 is four wheel drive.

With Pro 4 you can drive more aggressively - you can get on the gas more, because you have much more traction with all four wheels.

Also in 2011, I'm with a new team - Menzies. Plus I have help from Dodge, and Red Bull.

In this video below, this is one of the first times I started testing for 2011. It's a track at Glen Helen Raceway! (Home of the US MX GP)

Travis Pastrana talks about X Games, and more at opening press conference

Travis Pastrana has done so much in his life, it can't even begin to be documented. Race Professional Supercross, yes. Race Professional Motocross, yes. Perform Freestyle MX at the highest level, yes. Rally Car at the highest level, yes.

That doesn't even begin to scratch the surface of what Travis has done, and who he is.

This week he has a pretty tame schedule. Compete at X Games, fly to Indianapolis to race a car at a NASCAR event, then fly back to Los Angeles and the X Games to race Rally Car. Ho hum.

Here is Travis Pastrana at the opening press conference for X Games 17.
