First video. There's some Beamon stuff before it.


Still have to check out the other videos, but it looks like there are other good ones on there.

Oh, i should add, the jump occurs at a little after 2:00 into the video.

I should also add that there is an extended version of that video lower down.

I can't download it or get it streaming. Is anyone else having a problem?

Re: Here it is!!!!! Video of Lewis's Phantom 30 footer!

I can't download it either unfortunately, but I can get it to stream. It can get kinda choppy at times, as with any streamed video.

What kind of connection do you have?

I'm still waiting for the page to load and I have a high speed cable connection. But there are lots of track videos listed on the page: Bubka, Shorter, Moses, Riedel. They need to break up the page into separate pages or simply lose the graphics associated with each video clip, as they are really loading slowly.

Got it.

Go to here, and click on the appropriate video. A window will pop-uo, and will allow you to select the quality of the video (either 56, 128 or 256kbps) and then you have the option to watch it streaming or to download it. I suggest downloading it (as I'm doing) because it's really a slow connection (I've got cable, by the way).

I did the download thing and it took forever. I was shocked at the small size of the file (about 1K) despite the long wait. The video quality is horrific. Obviously, these guys have some great (and rare) multimedia material. But they need a faster server and should encode their source files into at least mpeg-1 quality.

Go back and download the 256kbps file. It's 20MB and has reasonably good quality. I want all of you to check out the Jump. It looks legal off the take off board and well clear of 9m.

WOOHOO! You guys made my day. Interesting analysis afterwards too.

There is a wealth of stuff there. Only wish I had more than 56k. I think assessment of the legality of Lewis's jump requires the high quality download, which will take me about an hour and a half. I think these clips are edited versions of original programs or maybe just short features?

You would think with 21st century technology, someone to come real close to the actual distance that Lewis jumped on that controversial leap
