    If you can't turn it down, or even mute, Jarek,..

    Then maybe that's a cell phone thing?

    (I don't know because I've never had one.)

    It doesn't matter. The problem lies in the fact that newly made documentary films, whether about motorcycles, animals, or nature,
    employ technical tricks to enhance the atmosphere in the film. They add effects, increase the volume of music,
    and sometimes it's just too loud. In this film as well, the music was too loud in several places.
    I don't like it because I'm only interested in facts, not commercial tricks for better viewership.
    Moreover, it's a manipulation of the audience, but let's leave it at that."

    Probably interesting material, but it's a bit irritating if you only understand it very little
    The music is too loud

    I believe this to be the only live action board track film, as stated in the opening credits, to have survived throughout time.

    https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gene_Walker **212 km/h = 131.731 mph. *4-14-1920 as listed in the video. But, on record it shows Walker hit~**166.66 km/h = 103.557723 on 1 mile Daytona board track.

    Thanks for posting these videos, Bob.
    So much early history, and development of the machines we have all come to know and love.
    The excitement of 100mph speeds, no suspension, no brakes, and no transmission regretfully ended the lives of many racers, and spectators alike.
    A big part of our early history none the less. Photography is fantastic in the series of 3 videos.

    " Neck and Neck with Death"
    "A Little Rough Around the Edges, but Never Lacking In Grit"................pretty much sums it up.


    Thanks again.
