_{Working that weekend and getting ready for the following weekend in Vegas! Wed night thru Sunday.}

Yes sir... From San Bernardino its a days trip to get down there and back home...

I am about 30 minutes from his shop. If you need anything let me know.

Aren't these guys up in Ramona?

That's a huge b*tch! Very nice, Joe. Congrats.

LOL, I didn't even scroll down and read what you typed Pete and I said the same thing.

That first one is badass! Poster type stuff!

I bet someone wants that land.

Jim-

If no one bites at this, I could use those fuel pumps. I run that in my car. Let me know.

Didn't even notice it.

There are always half naked women posing on rides, How bout some half naked Dudes posing on rides?

(this was not my suggestion I was asked this question) Just to be clear.

JIm is finally coming out. Atta boy!

To each their own. I think it is a good thing. I see the guys training for this event and they were pumped to run it. They came in 5th for the men's division and 8th for the ladies. Their hard work paid off big time. So one day and some time of inconvenience is allowable in my book. Sure there can be some better info put out as far as how to park and respect others as they try to enjoy the same area.

I am sure there are things here that others like and people here could care less about. That argument can do on for pages and pages. Bottom line is the event is planned out long in advance and in going to Dumont that weekend you took the chance of such an inconvenience.

All the signs/videos in the world cannot put an end to this. Bottom line is it starts/ends with the driver. Common sense and not riding beyond you and your equipment's abilities goes a long way. This type of accident could have been avoided but it will continue to happen many more times. Sounds to me like two guys were out having fun and got distracted while doing so and the driver misjudged the speed/dunes. Sucks he had to pay the ultimate price.

This run is an international event, It is possible that a lot of these people we not informed about where that road goes to and they need to keep it open and accessible at all times. I bet it was frustrating since you had bike troubles but try to keep in mind these are LEO people and running a race and they were focused on the race more than parking/staging a vehicle. I am on both sides here as I too am LEO but I can respect your frustration with the road being blocked.

At least it only happens one day a year. Next year it might be me blocking your road as I plan on being in it...lol

^{Yep, Our team is running again this year. I told them to look for all the one finger salutes as they jack up the Highways.}

Saw the ad yesterday, maybe he went and bought a different rail?

I try to burn all the gas I bring. If that happened, it was a good trip.

Here is the pdf for measuring your hangars.

I don't notice any big difference while towing with them installed but nothing it the trailer has moved after getting to the desert. I have a few loose tools on the floor and they stayed put. The big thing is knowing your suspension is now good to go and will be for a long time to come. Those plastic bushings are crap and probably weren't meant to last more than a year or so.

Damn, I have a photo shoot that Saturday. I would try to get out there.

yep, thanks

So to make it speed up you need to make a new clip and have it start from where it left off?

That looks like a blast to do, Running sucks but with something to look forward to every so often I could do that.

How are you editing the video? Gopro's editing software? I am trying to figure out the speeding up and slowing down of the edits.

I like Pudding! -------- ( I am guilty of this line) LOL

Because I am a fat gut who can't stop eating!!!
When you have a good tool, you build a shed over it!!!

Its like comparing coke and pepsi. Both companies make a good product. I chose DJI after watching tons of youtube videos and reading a lot in chat forums on both copters.

SP2- There is a company called Fatshark, it has goggles you wear that you can see exactly what your copter is doing, you mount a tiny camera next to your gopro and it sends live images to the goggles so its like your in the copter flying it realtime.

Modifications on these are pretty easy too. I have carbon fiber blades that just arrived and will be going on next. The stock ones flex a lot and lose some thrust due to that. I might step up the motors soon to make it faster. It goes about 20mph, I can go faster but I need to get altitude and then come down as I move forward. That isn't too good for filming.

I don't want a stunt mode on my copter, If I crash it I will be pretty bummed. The return to home feature is the best thing on it so far. I have taken out to where I can't see or hear it. Flip the switch and it comes back and lands at my feet. The only thing is you need to watch your flight time, I can get 10-11 minutes just hovering around and such. But as soon as you start making crazy movements and going high that's where you kill the battery and I can fly for about 6-7 minutes. So if your too far out and try to return home and lose battery power it will just land where it is because the battery died. Extra batteries are $25. I have 7 now, lol

Either one you choose you will have fun.

I will take some pictures of mine and post some soon.

I am flying blind. I was close enough to see where it was pointed and it has marker lights to help orientate it while flying. When it gets far away it gets harder to do that. I am looking into a setup where I can see what I am doing on a small screen or goggles but those setups are $300+.

These are addicting so be careful if you get one. But fun as hell to play with.

Nice, That should give you piece of mind knowing that you did that upgrade. Hit with a few shots of grease every couple trips and they should be worry free for a long time to come.
