Im trying to motion capture myself on a bmx but its not working as planned. Im using just the one kinect and nothing else. What would i have to do to make it work without any glitches and what configuration would be best in my situation.

Hi
I do not think you can get it without any glitches, because a bicycle is definitely an embarrassment for successful mocap.
In your situaution, I recommend you a configuration with PS Eye cameras, due to the following reasons:

• I suppose you want to capture some tricks on BMX. And tricks need space. Kinect has a very limited capture area (3x3m at the very maximum), which barely suits your intentions.
• Using more cameras (with PS Eyes - up to 8) gives you more points of view on an actor. Therefore, the bicycle renders less problems for tracking.
