This is from Dirtslide's gopro. The video is thumb nail is Lupin Lane. If we had filmed a couple of weeks earlier, it would have been purple going through there.

Is it possible to design for strength, if the designer doesn't really understand what strength is?

I especially liked how you put the GPS track/map on the side. It gives a new perspective on your spot! Loved it! :bigok:

+1 Run in fullscreen you can see the little tracking markers are assigned "S" & "DS" to distinguish the riders.

At around 2:18 you can see the little "S" marker. A good indication that the buggy cloaking device is almost done with the prototype testing stages. :o :lol:

Much of the time, it looks like the NABX out n back run, but with grass. Thanks for the tour. GP is much more than I've ever thought before. 500m is as nice as most everywhere I've ever ridden.

Sorry, those are not gps derived locations. I just estimated where we were from the video and placed the letters accordingly. When my kite or buggy are not in the picture for any length of time, the S disappears as I have no idea where I've gone. The effect is done using titles and moving them about as needed - nothing high tech.

BR, I had not thought about Skypilot forum, just an Animals fan.

That park is AWESOME!!! Consider yourselves VERY lucky! I'd kill to have a playground like that. The fields here all fall under one of the following:

1. Surrounded by tree lines.
2. Not accessible due to land owners.
3. Severely over grown.
4. Peppered with random trees and brush.
5. Public parks with areas no larger than a soccer field.

I need to move :lol:
