A little cockpit video from wet Southern Vermont trails

Took my 17 year old son to the Southern Vermont ATV club's trails today. We did abotu 30 miles on wet, wet trails -- it's rained here every day for almost a month.

Here's one of our first attempts at shooting handheld video from the cockpit...

I have quite a bit more that I'm still putzing with...

Cool vids Kent. Even though the trails were right wet, it looked like you have some good weather for a change to ride in. Looked like a fun trip.

Thanks guys, I edited the remaining riding footage into four clips, if you're interested.

Part I: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=a5P_kgJmvsQ

Part II: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LNcUipys7VU

Part III: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gdlt6mkGr5M

Part 1V: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5QRaDwG71e0

The later clips show better action, as they show my son's increasing confidence. There's some mud at the end of Part III and early in Part IV, for example, while you can see him increase his speed in Part IV. If you watch only one, I suggest Part IV -- more speed and good variety.

This unseasonal wetness did make Joy Brook very photogenic -- and we took advantage.







Here's the link to a slideshow on FlickR of these photos of Joy Brook:

Here's the link to a slideshow/montage/movie that has some very brief video clips of the large waterfalls mixed in, set to music:

Good job Kent. What software do you use to edit your video's?

It does very impressive things automatically (such as the slideshows set to music) but it's also limiting in what you can do with pure video. You can edit, make tweaks and such -- but nothing like how you can manipulate video with a more powerful program....

I'm still learning how to make manual tweaks...
