Matt JWeird creepy squealing noises coming out of a manhole drain cover in Switzerland. This seems like it could be something straight out of the TV series Lost, but no polar bears or black smoke! :)
I have no explanation for what this could be- suggestions welcome.

This marks the start of the awesome 2 mile descent into High Bentham. I even got a little air over the crest have way down, which is slightly unsettling on a recumbent bike at 38mph!
For my blog about the trip please see www.crazyguyonabike.com/doc/mattj2011Bicycle Downhill Through the Twists and Turns of Middlewood (Cornwall)Matt J2012-12-08 | There is nothing quite like carving a laden recumbent bike through the curves. This was one of the many tight twisty descents a cyclist encounters in Cornwall UK, during the Land's End to John O'Groats (LEJOG) trip. This is pretty much the rider's eye view, but you have to imagine that you are laying down on the bike.
Close up slow motion tyre analysis of a mountian bike negotiating some steps on the trail. Running low pressures here- you can see the tyre (and tube) being pinched between the rim and the ground- but no pinch flats during this filming though. It's also really interesting to see the chain slap and derailleur movement- never quite realised just how much they move over bumps.
Turn up your sound! Slow Motion with audio of a 5 Swiss Franc coin being tossed. Video shot at 420fps on Casio EX-FC150, and audio recorded separately.90 Miles in 90 Seconds - Oxford to Cambridge BHF Bike Ride 2010Matt J2010-10-05 | 90 miles in 90 seconds- a quick look at the 2010 Oxford to Cambridge charity bike ride organised by the British Heart Foundation.

Watch to the end where a crab bites the diver's mask...Freediving for Crabs at Woodman Point, Western Australia - March 2009Matt J2009-03-23 | This is a view from the diver's right hand- during a recent freediving/crabbing session. Maybe not the best camera work, but you get the idea. Didn't take long to catch our limit of 10 crabs each- even diving with the camera in one hand. Oh, and the crab curry turned out great!
