I don't feel like starting a bunch of threads so here goes... I have the video that Kevin has been begging for from Pismo done, there's not much to it. I also have a very basic video that I shot from a helicopter of the new Ford F-150 Raptor, and a video from testing out Jon's new GoPro. Enjoy.

So Jon finally let the video of him getting beat by a VW Bug out of his grasps! That's surprising.

Wow, you have such a terrible job. Bastard. It's spelled helicopter by the way.

Sea-dooing in the ocean doesn't seem like all that much fun. I was waiting to see what happened next, like getting run over, hitting a mermaid, or at least breaking down. You have dissapointed me. Get your truck fixed so we can have some real fun.

Sure looks like the bug came in behind the truck to me... He sure kept up pretty dang well though for having like no suspension!

Whoops... fixed... lol

Riding SeaDoo's in the ocean is a blast and sketchy at the same time. It's quite a workout, like riding a dirt bike (probably close to riding a quad). I think we spent more time out of the water than in it, jumping from swell to swell is a blast. And then there is the whole avoiding animals and boats thing. This time out we had one close encounter with a Sea Lion, I'm still waiting for the dolphin, shark, or whale that's supposedly out there. And yea, there wasn't anything next... but it got you to watch didn't it! Sucker... hehehe

The GoPro recommends using Rain-X on its lens. We'll have to do that for next time.

3-6' swells? Sounds like fun! hahaha

In that video the Raptor was probably doing 60-65. It was a journalist driving. I rode in the truck doing 100mph, the speed limiter, through the same section.

Oh, and I added a bunch of old school videos that I had on my computer, like Big Bear Snow Run in 2004, Pismo in 2005 and 2006, some Glamis, and so on... and I have more to upload tonight.

Unfortunately I don't have the Pismo New Years '03 video, Jon never gave me a copy of the DVD. And I've only ever seen part of it once.
