I've bought a GoPro Wide camera with several different mounts for the site and plan on sending it around the US (and other countries maybe) to get footage of the different kinds of riding that we all do. Rapids, tug boat wakes, salt marshes, ice/snow, canyons, creeks, even wrenching on a ski, anything that's a little different and people may not have done/seen before is what we're after mostly.

DJKorn is going to do the editing and will be using some of his own footage as well.

I plan on setting up an upload folder for you to upload your footage and mailing it in on dvd to DJ would work too, just keep it in original format if possible so it keeps the quality high.

Also, please don't send 5 hours of footage, cut it down to the good stuff because we may only use like 2 minutes.

I know tons of people have cameras now, but we need to try to keep the footage somewhat consistent so we'll have to see what DJ has to say about that.

One thing I'm going to have to be strict about is who uses the camera and how it's used. I don't want this thing to disappear, so whoever it ships to will have to be responsible and 'known' and I'd like to get a deposit on it before shipping that you'll get back once it's back in my hands or the next person's.

Batteries are another thing. It requires 2 AAA batteries. Rechargeables do work, but not as long as lithiums. I will not supply batteries, you're on your own on that because some people may only need one pair while others use more. If you have rechargeables, use those, or if you want to buy 2 or 4 lithiums that's cool too.

More to come as we hash out details/logistics.

hey Darrin,

Send it down to Nashvegas and we can get Dylan and Jarred to hook it up and see how the kids are rockin it now. They are both riding exceptionally well and would like to showcase it i am sure. PM me if you want my addy.

We should get some General Jackson footage - get someone on board to film too. How many people jump paddle steamer wakes? :biggrin: But when it's warmer... brrrrr....

I think its scrapped...nobody sent me ANY footage at all. I would love to do another movie, but I don't get around enough to film it myself...I kinda wanted to make a compilation vid of every riding spot around the world. Didn't have to just be gopro footage either.......but everyone kinda does their own thing and puts it on youtube now, so it's all good. I've got enough footage to make another DVD like the ones I did before, but everything has already been posted up on youtube, so I'm not sure if there is a point to it, (except higher quality).

The whole Sports/Action Movie scene is pretty dead I think, as in making an entire DVD hourlong movie (except snow skiing, those are still huge). With Fuel TV, youtube, vimeo....not sure how many people buy DVD's anymore.

Thanks for the update, even if it isn't what I wished to hear. It really seemed like a great idea, and I know many people were looking forward to it; I know it would have been great!

When I got the camera back from being shipped around the country, it had very little footage on the SD cards, and of that even less was usable for any kind of video.

I'm not sure very many understood the video concept and just used the camera for their own purposes, deleted their videos and sent it along.

Maybe it could be sent to various freerides and then people at the freerides could use it to make vids,maybe put together something out of freeride footage, Smith Lake freeride is coming up, just an idea.
