I think that would be a cute horse name, Technical Difficulty. Heck, it might already BE a cute horse name………..

Anyway! I’ve wanted to make a cross country helmet cam video since Peter Atkins posted his first one.

I pined away for a helmet cam, and according to my husband “a man in a red suit” brought me one.

So I’ve had this helmet cam for <cough cough> several years now.

I vividly remember the first time I planned to wear it on cross country.

I put on my vest.

I put on my air vest.

I put on my pinny holder.

I put on my 4 star helmet, which is much heavier than the helmet I wear normally.

I added the helmet cam to the top of the helmet, and I immediately decided that the heavy, super tough helmet plus helmet cam would just topple me right over.

I envisioned losing my balance and falling off like so many dominoes. I had this flash that my helmet cam video might become some horrifying version of the Faces of Death videos……………………

I ripped off the helmet cam immediately and gave up on the “BadEventer helmet cam video project” for quite a long time.

This weekend however……… I was feeling particularly confident.

Things have been going well. Stadium went exceptionally well.

And with nothing on course I was having nightmares about……………….<just WHEN did THAT happen?>

I decided it might be the time to try the helmet cam again.

This time when I strapped it on, I decided I probably wouldn’t notice it after all.

This was my CHANCE! The world would finally get a BadEventer helmet cam video.

Well.

I was right.

I didn’t notice it, so effectively, that the first course I completely forgot to turn it on.

EPIC FAIL.

Fortunately I had another chance, and while I did manage to turn it on the second time around.

I did not manage to effectively charge the battery.

So click here for BadEventer’s first cross country helmet cam video, jump 1-8! While the video didn’t finish the course BadEventer and the Zebrasaurus did finish! Clean! In their first Prelim together!

Go Zebrasaurus!

Check out the dino-style mane that my fabulous groom Kerri surprised me with! That’s serious talent!

Stay tuned for more about this weekend………………………
