I've got so much footage to wade through, I have no idea where to start. But it didn't stop me from making this quick post ....

    Your gonna have the same problem I  did.......the footage is great.......you'll want to include it all.

    I love the low and over shot at the beginning, its the same shot that I used to open my video, (just from the pilots seat) and the touching the cloud shot towards the end.........Barb couldn't stop raving about that experience.

    I like the way that you are able to incorporate audio transmissions into the video......keeps every thing very much real time.

    Give us more TTabs

    Well madmik you know theirs nothing wrong with keeping it off the deck.i think the videos of up high are just as entertaining. Every pilot knows or should know that low is assuming an xtra margine of risk.i still follow the rule that was engrained in hang gliding. Altitude is youre friend but at the same time understand the thrill of flying low.you got an awesome group of pilots down there and we up here fully apreciate are friends on alltrikes videos from the great oz. To nz land . Anyone heard from christapher lately.

    Finally got a chance to log in, I've been wanting to see this all day!!  Nice one Ttabs!!  Now let's see the meat of the journey  ;)

     

    RE flying low, there's some guys that fly low when there's options, and there's some that don't, and when there aren't.  We've talked about it.  It's seductive, just like cocaine ...      In fact, that song would be great for a low flying video ;)  "If you wanna get down, down on the ground, ..... She don't lie, she don't lie, she don't lie .....   Cocaine!"

    She won't lie to you  :)  The ground and mother nature won't whisper to come closer.

    David, message Christopher.  Maybe he's on a trip and will bring us back some footage.

    Yes, there is a video here, it's awesome!!.  Try to see it direct on Vimeo?

  • Bill Pilgrim

    Tabs, another triumph!

    where did you have the camera mounted in the second part of the vid? There is no part of the trike visible and it is very steady. Is that because of where you have it mounted or image stabilisation?

  • Ttabs

    Was there a low scene?  

    Bill - I have a nose camera mounted to the faring next to the front tire.  It creates a steady shot - no trike.  

    I'm having trouble uploading this vid to youtube.  Somethings not working right and I can't figure it out.  Vimeo easily worked so maybe it has something to do with youtube.

    Ok for some reason i cant see toms video . Maybe because iam on my smartphone. So anyone who knows me knows iam not to good at tecknology stuff.so where toms video is supose to be theirs a little birthday box.and my birthday is a week away.if i try to open it .it just disapears.so using logic i have to asume the possabilitys.
    1 its a really good video and i cant open it till my birthday.
    2 tom didnt draw the elk permit he wanted and hes waiting for me to send him some road kill.
    3 iam making a complete idiot out of myself because people dont understand that us outback. Montanas are still trying to figure out light switches, flushable toilets,and why are kids text each other when there siting beside each other on the couch.
    4 during the ping pong game i was really abducted by aliens and the 5 hours of time i was missing was a conspericy to set up some strange test to see how humans react to comments praising a flying video thats really not there.
    5 goin to elk river was just a figment of my imagination and the matrix has me.
    6 a gallon of irish scotch a fifth of rum and half bottle of taquilla and a toms recipe for red beer a hucleberry shake and that kale pinapple smoothie janet made me didnt mix and my demonstration i did on wild edible plants are having a delayed reaction.

    Any help here greatly appreciated
    During the 70s i really thought if i believed hard enough i could grow wings.
    Just to let you know what youre dealing with?

  • Ken

    Dave - its on Vimeo and not youtube, likely encoded in FLASH, which wont go on a smart phone as far as I know.

    Hey thanks ken youre the best
    Ive been out in the woods to long.
    Can you imagine leaving civilization in 93
    And coming back into it in 2010 what a changed place it would be.

  • Ken

    Mind blowing for sure

  • XC Triker

    You're hilarious David!

  • Ttabs

    David - here's the link - but you can't open it until your birthday and the kids text you saying it's OK to open.   And there's a dead elk laying on the side of the road with my name on it.  And - you can win at least one game of pong ping.
