I'm working on a DVD for the attendees of last January's Imperial Invasion ride that was put together by members of 3wheeler.org and 3wheelerworld.com (it's just a freebie for the people that were there, not intended for sale). People came out to Gordons Well from as far as New York, Florida and Ohio!

This is the opening sequence. Let me know what you think!

THAT is Bad Azz!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

x2.....

waaaayyyy good dude

Typical .......................for you.

Great video, the trikes rocked!

Sweet vid, now real sorry I missed out. Are they doing one next season?

Planning on it. Looking like late Febuary or early March.

Very Cool!

Great video!!! How did you mount the camera on the Whip? That was a great shot I will have to try that...

Zip ties and a generous amount of electrical tape. Loosely zip tie it first. Just tight enough to hold it and loose enough let you slide it a little until you find the sweet spot (how far the whip bends from the weight of the camera) and then tape the crap out of it. If you're using a GoPro, the sound will be all jacked up from the vibrations.


Here's another vid. This one is in High Definition. Just completely raw footage straight from my friend's GoPro HD camera to youtube. I don't have anything to edit it with yet but the picture quality if you can run it at 1080p is INCREDIBLE. A lot of the GoPro HD vids on youtube have been edited poorly which really degrades the quality they're capable of.

About half way through we make a few runs up Olds. The guy filming is on a TRX450r. I'm on the 250R trike wearing the red and white jersey.

THAT'S AWESOME!!!!

I dug the opening. The whip-cam is a great idea. And loved the choice of music to go with it.

You are onto something with the whipcam, seriously. I liked it!

the shots from under the bike are bad-O!!!!!

Love the thumb throttle action at 4:41

very cool!!!! makes me what to take my trike out

WOW! Great flick, as said above, the whip cam is filthy!

nice video trikes are cool cant wait till i get another one they are so much fun..

Great job!

Got a new computer and it doesn't appear to have any editing software. I got Vegas Movie Studio and it was crashing my previous computer so I ditched it. Sorr, for the high-jack . Does anyone know of a good (easy) video editing software for the PC? I have 2 HD Go Pro's and don't want the 1080 downgraded, etc.

Thanks,

I was checking out your channel on youtube, the Mojave video was kick (_|_). Great thing to do for your friend!


What general area where you riding at in the Mojave? I have never been there, it looked kick (_|_)!

The vid you're talking about was filmed at Rasor Road. About 20 or so minutes West of Baker, CA. One of my favorite places to ride but I don't get to go there very often. It's more than a 7 hour drive for me.

That depends on what exactly you want to do with your vids. If you want to do some fancy editing with different effects, transitions, titles and all that, the newest version of Vegas would work. Adobe Premiere SHOULD work but I have had problems with it personally. Partly due to my ancient PC that needs to be replaced.

On the other hand, if you just want to be able to trim vids or splice them together in a very basic way, believe it or not Quicktime Pro can do that and it only costs $30 and does not degrade the image quality at all. Trimming a vid is as easy as selecting the part you want, then "save as" and you're done. Saves it as a MOV file which my PC doesn't like very much but youtube will take it just fine.

This is one of the downsides to the GoPro HD model. Editing is more of a pain than the basic model (I just use windows movie maker for mine but it does not do HD).

In a couple months I'll have a new Macbook Pro and a ton of software to play with. Hopefully at that point HD editing will be no problem for me and I can ditch my standard cam.

Ditto!

Super Cool vid......

Just thought I'd bump this. The dates for the next Imperial Invasion ride are set. March 1-6 2011 at Gordons Well again. Grab a trike and come join us (or one of them four wheeled contraptions if that's all you got, lol).

Here's another couple of vids from last years ride.
