There is a good documentary covering the 2005 RAAM available on the
RAAM site (in the RAAM Store area). There is a brief clip of Jure
losing it. Overall, the movie presents a powerful essay on the
limits of human endurance.

I had the pleasure of previewing the video a couple of weeks ago
with Jim Pitre and Lon Haldeman. Jim said that there are hours and
hours of interesting footage that could not make it into the movie.
No doubt, clips of other people losing it too. Jurie is not unique
in this regard. For example, Lon told us that he remembers, during
one of his RAAM rides, accusing his crew of messing with his shoe
laces and declared that he would finish the race without them. All
he needed was $50 and he would finish on his own. Of course, a good
crew knows better than to take these things seriously. In the movie,
however, there is an example of one crew that did take a rider's
outburst seriously and abandoned their rider.

I suggested to Jim that, if he found a way to release more (even if
it was not professionally produced) people might be willing to pay
for it. I recommend the video. If you see it, and are interested in
seeing more, I also suggest letting Jim Pitre know of your interest.
That might help him gauge the economic feasibility of releasing more
footage.
