Yeah, that was wild. I was a hair worried I was gonna slide right into him... :wee:

Well, I could see by Todd's shadow that he was crouched and ready to dive out of the way, had you not come out of the slide when you did. Looked to me like perfect timing!

Todd crouched down fore a more stable shot on a lot of things. He did that taking the footage of me launching the Frenzy as well.

Like a tri-pod! That Frenzy-lift-off was sweet!

That was a cool shot, the Frenzy...that was first flight right Maven?

Yep. That was the first time that kite had left the ground.

That was enjoyable! Just getting back to the office from an inspection to find this thread growing very nicely and all of the questions answered by either Maven or Ragden I'm glad you guys liked it because I almost didn't do it. Yes the power slides up the hill turned out headless along with a bunch of other stuff, pretty disappointing but thank you all for the nice compliments!

Yes, the GoPro HD is a very nice piece of equipment when mounted correctly. I'll have to re-work that one but the editing software was Sony Vegas 9 which I love although was also ready to can it over the weekend due to issues. I really think that it choked from the size of the movie while trying to render it. Yes Bob, enjoy the Radical... that is one sweet kite.

Bummer!! Guess we have to do it again then...

That's a DEAL! I mounted a clip for the GoPro on a camera mono pod (one extedable pole for cameras). This is going to produce some really cool video footage.


Oh, don't worry about power sliding into me... I have the reflexes of a wombat!

Never seen a wombat dodge a buggy doing 30mph, but I'll take your word for it.

DUDE! That was awesome. And icing on the cake with the end bit (Yakkity Sax / Turkey in the Straw). I think that ought to be your trademark.....

What / who made that version?

Thanks Macboy! I don't know who made that version, I just bought it off Amizon. I'll look tonight when I get home.

Love it!!! Can't wait for the next session!!

great session and song!!!!!!!!!!

Very nice. Def know where you are coming from on the bumped camera issue. Loved the end bit. Nice work!

Yes, I liked the lift off as well however however I was concerned with the pilots skillz. My safety conscious self took over the scene to make sure that no kids were hurt.






Thanks heliboy50!

:bigok:

So was it Boots Randolph on the sax?

Looks like you guys had fun Nice field! I wish I had one like that by me... we've just have way too many trees in oregon! I'm on a quest this spring to find a cooperative farmer and huge fallow field to fly in.

Another great video Todd! Love the fuzzy Mr. X Nice to see him again! Loved the ending too!. I am sorry that I have not made it over to the bowl yet, after seeing this video, it's time to start making plans for the hike!

The guys look like they had a blast!

Happy winds!

That's where I heard it! I know I had heard that version, and also my father had the Boots Randolph version on 8 track believe it or not! I just didn't remember which was which.

Thanks a bunch Todd, loved the video. Too bad a lot of the shots were headless, how can you tell where that thing is pointing anyways when its on your head? Some nice buggy footage, watching the video really makes me want to go back there! What editing program do you use? I've always wanted to put together videos like that but I can never find one editing program that does it all, speed up, slow down, screen shots, music, decrease/increase in volume... at least for free:frog: Really nice to see all the local guys put together in a video, especially X Hope we can do this again sometime soon.

Most software is free... when you crack them

I believe he used Sony Vegas studio 9. I've used it before, it's pretty simple and powerful

Free?

AH!!! Benny Hill! THAT'S IT!

heheheheh

Childhood memories come flooding back...........

You can get a tripod mount for the GoPro's for like $7 ... I got one from eBay but shipping doubled the price
Parks like that remind me of home ... wait till I get a vid of the parks here - any park that size you gotta pay like $10 for parking and the guard man comes running out screaming at you if you dare enjoy anything other than sitting or walking and perhaps running slowly

Do they have those fees because Japan is so overpopulated?

Like the vid! Even tho' (mercifully) there's no motion footage of my attempted session w/ borrowed gear, I did get double billing in the intro stills! :smug:

If you play Yakkety Sax / Benny Hill theme to Baltimore area Boomers, they will know it as "The Lorenzo Stomp." "Lorenzo" was an early 60's syndicated kid's show clown (in Emitt Kelly hobo getup) whose show highlite was a mean shuffle to it.
