Bootstrap Carousel Lazy Load

Question

I'm trying to have the bootstrap Carousel lazy load. It seems like this should be straight forward, but I'm not even getting any errors here to troubleshoot. JS:

<script type="text/javascript">
    $('#bigCarousel').on("slid", function() {
        // load the next image after the current one slid
        var $nextImage = $('.active.item', this).next('.item').find('img');
        $nextImage.attr('src', $nextImage.data('lazy-load-src'));
    });

</script>

And then html:

<div id="bigCarousel" class="carousel slide">
  <div class="carousel-inner">
    <div class="active item">
        <img src="assets/bigimage1.jpg" class="img-big">
    </div>
    <div class="item">
        <img data-lazy-load-src="assets/menu-header2.jpg" class="img-big">
    </div>
 </div>
</div>

No JS errors in firebug or anything else I can figure out, but my images just aren't loading. Probably something stupidly simple here...

The simplest solution would be:

<div id="carousel" class="carousel slide lazy-load" data-ride="carousel" data-interval="false">
<div class="carousel-inner">
  <div class="item active"><img src="image1.jpg"></div>
  <div class="item"><img data-src="image2.jpg"></div>
  <div class="item"><img data-src="image3.jpg"></div>
</div>
<!-- controls -->
<ol class="carousel-indicators">
    <li data-target="#carousel" data-slide-to="0" class="active"></li>
    <li data-target="#carousel" data-slide-to="1"></li>
    <li data-target="#carousel" data-slide-to="2"></li>
  </ol>
</div>

<script>
$(function() {
    $('.carousel.lazy-load').bind('slide.bs.carousel', function (e) {
        var image = $(e.relatedTarget).find('img[data-src]');
        image.attr('src', image.data('src'));
        image.removeAttr('data-src');
    });
});
</script>

That's it!
