Zions group ride video

dantama · 06-23-2008, 06:32 PM

I spent a lot of time today putting together my video clips, and getting them just right. Then I tried to put it up on youtube, but it was too big.

I chopped it into two parts, and way messed up the music by chopping it up and putting it back together again. Youtube makes the quality go way down, but I have the full size on my computer.

For those who weren't there, I was driving with my left hand on the throttle, and filming with my right hand, so it's a bit shaky, but you should still get the idea of what the ride was like.

As I've said many times, Zions is my favorite ride. I hope the video will give you an idea why.

Part 1

And part 2

Too cool!

Thanks for doing that Dan!

Ditto....that was almost like being there...but not quite... :'( Thanks :)

Very nice Dan. I am uploading mine to youtube now...wow is that slow....my cam was mounted on the handle bars and I still dont have all the vibration out....gotta perfect my crudely engineered $4.00 mount. Should have my ride to the Top Of The World up sometime tonight.

Thanks for doing this, Dan! Would it be possible to get the full, uncut version somehow?

I've got about 30 minutes toal of video from our entire trip, shot with a handheld by my wife. I'm going to try to edit it down to something managable & maybe not put it on youtube, considering what their quality is like (ugh!) Perhaps with the limited number of hits it's going to get, I can arrange some better hosting. I dunno. We'll see what my video editing talents are like first.

Todd, it can't be over 10 min for youtube, that was my problem.

If you are over 10 min it will download it, then after forever damn ever it will tell you that it was too big.

That's why mine got chopped into two parts. Actually it got chopped into many parts and put back together into two parts.

I could get one to you, I'll pm you.

Being the one that goes on an evening ride has its privileges :)

Great video Dan thanks for sharing with us.

Hey Dan,
Nicely done. I wasn't there :'( { wish I could've been} but I'm going there for my first time, this week. Leaving Thurs. from Sumas Washington. Your video gives me a great idea of what I'll be seeing. Thanks, very much appreciated.

Not to take anything away from your video,......

I'm mounting my camcorder on my bike, so I'll be making my video available for anyone that might be interested. I'm heading down through Idaho, Utah, Nevada, northern California, {ave. of giants} up the Oregon coast, and over to Mt St. Helen, and then back home to Canada.

It must be awesome to ride in a large group like that, ......all of you that went are so fortunate.
Thanks again Dan,

That was great dan, Thanks for doing that!! When did you sneak away and get the shot at the end of the 2nd video?? YOU ARE AMAZING!! If I had to climb up one of those hills I probably would have passed out fom exaustion

tomk · 06-24-2008, 08:58 PM

WM,

He rode up the hill!

Wonderful Dan, I'm impressed with where you were and what you did!

I had my camera on a lower resolution so that I could get more stuff. I ended up with nine pages of photos on photobucket, this video, and a bunch that wasn't good enough to keep, and still had room on the camera.

I wish I did it in a better resolution, but on my computer it looks a whole lot better than the way it looks once youtube gets done doing their thing to it.

I've got a viable wmv file created & I'm loading it up to Photobucket in medium rez right now. It's about 11 minutes & 42 MB, so I'll probably make a low-rez version for the bandwidth impaired.

Very nice Dan, thanks
