[bobcullinan]

A fan captured Farrar going down in the prologue this week. Ugh. Take
a look for yourself:

Not working for me. Firefox 2.0.0.12 Ubuntu 7.04 with all media codecs
installed.

It's just Flash. I see that there is no minimum required version defined
by the calling page. The default required version in the object creation
function is 7. You probably have at least 7 installed, so the function
does not give an error message or alternative content. However, it could
be that the actual required version by the video/player is still higher
than your installed version.

Are you on Intel or PowerPC? If the former:

For the latter, there's no official Flash9 yet. See

You may want to try and compile your own version from an open source
player, like swfdec.

"Original" is a perplexing word. The cycleto video has the base audio,
but no white-guy acoustic-guitar soundtrack, which means that they have
a source for the video other than Dailymotion.

I don't countenance the theory that cycleto has access to audio
filtering good enough to knock out the soundtrack.

I should have said original upload. The shooter has also distributed a
version without soundtrack. Thanks for being on your toes.;

Yes, it's a cover version of Cat Stevens' "Wild World" to be exact.

Perhaps so, but I think he would have crashed in that same manner if he'd been on
regular bars.
