Eddy Merckx, Action Script and other fun...

eddy merckx hour record loop from Richard Mitchelson on Vimeo.


16/02/09 - This is the first movement test for Eddy, hit play and watch him go... Here is the first image of a project i am doing for myself to learn more about Action Script and code in general. It is based around Eddy Merckxs' hour record set in Mexico city in 1972. Merckx used this simple steel framed single speed machine and travelled 49.431km in the hour. Hopefully next time you come back I will have more for you to check out, click on and play with. As always any comments are more than welcome...

If you want this on a shirt i can make it happen. I know i want this on a shirt. My friend and i specialize in high pain and suffering limited shirt runs. We have been known to spend four plus hour for registration alone just to print 2 shirts. Check out my stuff at http://www.flickr.com/photos/14080244@N06/
