Interesting difference in the attention spans of the 1930's to now. 1:50 in and still not a word of commentary on what this is about. How many people on HN sat through this whole video?
Heh, true. I had to skip ahead. That being said, this massive intro was more entertaining than most intros you find on Youtube, but how long can anyone be expected to watch the same three Motorcycle stunts/tricks? What stood out to me was the short text scroll at the beginning. I was thinking "wow, people even put slow, useless text at the front of their videos 50 years ago, it's not just a Youtube phenomenon".
Nevertheless, an interesting video. I learned something; I've actually been wondering exactly how that worked for a while (classic hacker attribute: enough to think about it and perhaps determine it on my own, but not curious enough to just look it up).
