Riding in a Hummer with Muddy

Here is a short clip up a logging road cut by a D5 Bulldozer.  It is a short drop to your death on one side and a nice set of nasty roots on your left.  Sadly my camera ran out of memory card 1/4 mile into it... so you only get half of the trip.  It didn't get much worse after this part. 
 
The sounds you are hearing in this clip are my cooler sloshing, roots dragging the drivers side, nice throttle control , and a 4% pucker factor.

I have finally started editing some of the Beckley, WV trip video and will put more up as I find something I think is interesting.

Sounds like you ended up with some more of that custom pin striping after that little adventure :-) 

It all buffed out though....  I have some minor scratches in the plastic on the roof rails.

Not bad!  I have a ton of those ... I think it had something to do with squeezing that tubby b*tch in to ATV trails up at Badlands lol .. was fun though ... :)

Definitely do, I'd like to see just what the hell I missed out on :-)

Cool vid!!!
 
Is that a fixed camera?? Howz it mounted??

Nice Stan...........................................
 
also same question as Bob

The camera was sitting on a Tripod.  I have a fairly inexpensive tripod that will work with my SLR as well as my Sony Handicam.  I extended two legs out behind the seats, and them put the 3rd leg on the seat and used the center seatbelt to secure it.  I was very impressed with how steady it was.
 
Then I turned my screen around so that I can see it in the mirror.  The only real drawback is that day 2 after I changed the battery and memory stick I zoomed it wrong and you can see too much of my rear view mirror and also it gives you a little bit of tunnel vision.  It was a learning experience.  I now know what I will do differently in the future.  I also think I should have screwed on my wide angle lens. 

Well.....It worked REALLY WELL!!! Good Job!!!

SORRY EVERYONE..BUT WATCHING THAT ALMOST MADE ME..

That's what I mean....  some of the video gives you a little vertigo...

Different lens on my camera... makes for much better viewing.
 
I'm trying out a different video editing program also.

 I had to go around something too narrow for me.  By the sounds of the video you can tell the water had taken out half the CB's and I got some more pinstriping.

Stan is DA MAN!!!
 
Very COOL Perspective!!
 
My Princess CRINGED in the garage on the 3rd vid with the branches SCRATCHING YOUR RIG!!!

Cool Stan

That first video was longer.... Dunno what I did wrong.  It ended before we crossed the railroad tracks....  they were around my hood.
 
Back to the editting table I guess.

On that first video, over the first dip is where I bent up my trailer hitch and cover.  I had to much speed and couldn't see that we where on the creast of the hill.  Came down hard on the other side and nailed my hitch,  busted 2 of the 3 welds on my trailer hitch cover and bent up the hitch real good.  JB Weld my hitch cover back together and buffed out some scratches. The video doesn't do it justice though.   Needs some kick a$$ music for a soundtrack.

I'm still using her computer.... I've never got my monster going again after the move.... so the video editing software sucks....

cool

get the camera close to the windshield and zoom in a bit and them you can't see the glass reflections
