I went for a nice ride today, I'll try to get some pictures up.

Video trail #1045

 

Nice Vid Spec! I sure you have said it before but I will ask what camera are you using for those vids?

 

..

 

Its a Canon Power Shot A510 and I bungee cord it to my cargo bag on the front. Not a great camera but I do believe that that the bag absorbs most of the vibration and that's why they turn out as well as they do.

Here's a vidio where I showed where and how I 'mount" my camera. A frind of mine soend $1000 on some high-tech special camera mount for his ATV and only used it once.

Couldn't agree more with Doug's point. While I enjoy opening up the throttle here and there I won't do it at the cost of the trail. I have to keep on the young guys in our group to remind them about why trails get closed. IE Donuts in the parking area, going too fast in low speed zones near houses, etc. If we don't reign it in eventually we won't have the hobby we all enjoy so much. Actually, when trying to figure out what the top speed of our quad's is we have found that winter on a frozen lake is about the only place we have enough room to open them up long enough to find out. Does get old when it's only 15 degrees out though. BRRRRR....

 

That works pretty good! I have a Power shot SD1000IS and might give that a try. Thanks for the info!

 

Yep Moose I have to agree with Doug too and I see it almost every day.

WOW, a frozen lake, I'll bet that funner than the dickens!!

Hemi, I hope your movies turn out great.

 

Talk about drifting in corners... It's a blast but sometimes tough to get the right conditions of cold without too much snow. Also, 4wd donuts are lots of fun. You just jack the steering to one side and open it up. Making sure to lean in that is. We even dragged a kid around kind of like the Rhino Lining commercials where they drag a guy coated with Rhino Lining around a farm. I almost passed out I was laughing so hard. We did okay until he flew over a beaver lodge. He didn't want to play anymore after that. One of these days I've got to remember to bring a waterski type tube with us for fun.

Just picked up a FujiFilm XP10 digital camera. Supposed to be dustproof, waterproof to ten feet, shockproof, and freezeproof. I can take up to 1200x720 video too. I'll be putting it to the test up in Maine soon. Can't wait.

 

Did a little riding on this frozen river in Wyoming a few years back.

The donuts are a blast, the more throttle the faster you spin, just like a top.

I'd be laughing so hard I'd have to let off before I fell off.

A frozen lake on the right day would just plain be too much fun.

 

But, Specta, a river can't freeze over. It's global warming. You must be mistaken...
