My first attempt at video

If you get bored with beginners, then don't bother watching. The quality probably isn't the best, I had to shrink it down.

Let me know what you think

Thanks for the laughs and it looks like you guys are having a good time. The water that you guys ride on is butter. Keep on improving and your next vid will be rocking.

I got a kick out of that. Pretty good for noobs. I really liked the end, funny, because it's true! Oh, the headaches! Laughing

Good job Chip, keep making them so we can see your progress! I'd do 'em too but I'm just getting worse. Laughing

Nice man... I wish I had the EQ to put down some film of my own. What all do you use and how much $$$ would I need to get set up??? You guys will stop taking those headers soon. Once you get more comfortable with your edge they will go away. I haven't taken a bell ringer in probably two years. Knock on Wood. I have a BFA in Design From CCAD, so I should be able to catch on to any Digital Editing suite, but what do you use? Camera? Programs? Thanks for posting, it's giving me the ITCH.....

Thanks guys, I appreciate the feedback. We do have fun, that's what it's all about. The headers hurt, but you are right, they are fewer and futher between.

wake1ghuth, I just bought a sony miny DV cam at the end of last summer. Not sure the model number, but that plus the Best Buy service plan was like $600. It's a great camera, the quality is much better than the video shows, cuz I had to compress it.

All I used was Windows Movie Maker. It's not bad for someone like me who is new to the whole process. It has some querks that I figured out over the last 3 days. Once you know that stuff, it comes easy. (Also, I asked a lot of questions in the forums for this Very Happy

) It's really fun to work on the movies, but just time consuming.

midwesty, we still talk about how smooth your 180s are!! We can only hope to land them as smooth as you do. Hey, like I said while you were riding..."Is he regular or goofy?" I seriously couldn't tell!!

Don't be jealous...just get your ass out here to VA and hop on the boat with us!! haha, don't know what could possibly bring you allllll the way out here, but it's an open invite. Cool

Nice job on the video.

It is helpful to see riders at / about my skill level.
