    Default Video from 1st Anniversary Run China Wall



    Hey everybody, I finally got the video done and posted. It is a long boring story but I had some technical difficulties and I had to edit 25 minutes of video so it took a little longer. I tried to include footage of as many rigs as I could but logically the ones around me got the most screen time...Of course Pathrat probably got just a little more screen time but I can't really help that . I had to split it into parts 1 and 2 as it was too long for youtube as a single post. Hope you like it.

    Part 1.


    Part 2.

    Thanks Hugh, great job as always!

    Looks good, it's nice that video provides better depth than stills that seem to remove it and make even tough trails look easy. This really shows what it was like.

    Thanks Chris...I have found the same thing with video sometimes, but I know what you mean by the still photos making tough obstacles look like nothing. Anyway it was great day out and I was glad to get so much good video.

    Sweet videos! As much emphasis on the spotters as possible! You guys did a great job helping me avoid what was almost certain equipment damage.

    Sorry FunRover...with 19 vehicles on the run and you up front, I never actually saw you go over anything hence you were not in the video. You notice most of the rigs in the vehicle were those just in front and just behind Pathrat's position in the pack.

    FunRover, I am correcting myself...You were prominent in the part 2 video I posted. Look at 7 minutes 17 seconds in where you narrowly avoided an injury that might have required an airlift for you !

    I showed Hugh your comment and he was not thinking you were bothered about no rig time, but that you would be SEVERELY bothered if you had not landed right. When he showed me the video he was, 'watch this! look what almost happened to Aaron!'
