I shot a pile of video yesterday.  Currently waiting 2+ hours for the Mac to do the import.  Quite frankly, some of it is amazing.  Cool

You'll have to wait and see!  The computer's having a hell of a time chewing on all this video.  I should have one video posted in another hour, and the rest will have to wait till tomorrow evening or later.  I have 43 minutes of edited video exporting, and that was just from the morning.  The after lunch stuff is crazy. Cool

 

The only carnage I had to the XJ was the snapped rear sway bar.  Right in half.  Laugh

 

 

Edit:  Started breaking up the longer video segments and uploading them to YouTube.  I will update this post as they appear online.

Edit:  I have started uploading video segments to YouTube, in higher quality.  They should all end up as 720p HD video on YouTube, but I don't know how long it will take for their import process to finish.

Why was the entire Elgin/Dundee contingent (except me) missing from this trip!  The Stooges were missed!

Jenny and I had a blast this weekend.  Our tow rig broke on the way down but we were wheeling by saturday afternoon.  Jenny climbed her first rock this weekend and is still talking about it.  Can't wait to see all the pictures.

OK, all of the footage from inside my Jeep is now posted and processing on YouTube.  Tonight I will work on chopping up the video I shot on foot.

Cool video's, thanks for sharing.  Which trail was Camera 3?  It didn't look familiar but did look like a great time!  I enjoyed trail footage from Camera 2 as well.

I believe 3 was part of the green trail (I remember seeing the green trail markers).  Not sure about 2, but I believe I was on the white (if that exists) trail for a bit as well.  I was just following the others, for the most part.  It sure was fun!  The stupid image stabilization really takes some of the bumps out, so the video looks much smoother than the ride really was.

Boy I can't wait to see the other videos. So far I've only see myself fail several obstacles running around in front of you. I guess I should have aired down right away, but it was still fun. I know there are some better obstacles, post those :)

Dude, it took my work machine ALL day to process those four videos (in the background, of course *cough*), and my super Mac Mini is literally burning hot to the touch chewing through the video I shot while walking around.  I only have so many internets at my house to do the upload to YouTube!  Wink

 

The first of three videos of me walking around dodging rocks and sod should be uploaded in a couple minutes.  I'll update this post with those videos as they come online through YouTube.

Yeah, can't wait to see those, Scott really gave that comp course a beating!

 

Oh, and you weren't in any real danger from rocks, he was at least a few feet away from you! Now if you were behind him??!

Strangely, he went from being next to me to me being behind the Jeep pretty darn quick on the first thing I taped.  I got the F out of there!

Thanks!  I really enjoyed shooting these videos, and I'm glad they turned out as well as they did.  I still have one more group of videos to edit and upload to YouTube.  Those videos are of me riding in the silver Wrangler, and may take a while to edit.  Lots of bouncing around and bad camera angles.  Yell
