Tail of the Dragon video
Hey guys, finally got something thrown together. Not the greatest work, but still worth a look I think. Starts out with footage of a Skyline chasing me up the mountain, and ends with me following orion84gsl. Great roads!

Traffic was the only real bummer during the daylight hours. We had some much better/faster runs after dark, but of course shooting video in the dark is a real challenge. Orion shot a bit while we were chasing the Skyline down the mountain, which was a very very fast run, but I haven't heard how any of that turned out.
As far as cops go, I didn't have a single issue all five days I was down there. Of course, I was obeying all traffic laws at all times though...
There were a few guys that had issues, but it seemed to be they were only giving guys a hard time if they did something very blatant (like passing on double yellow line).

Saw the video. Looks good, although not nearly enough video of Nikki's sexy ***. Currently uploading two of mine but its slow going. The night videos turned out alright except the audio is all static. I think the microphone is overly sensitive when the casing is off, so I learned that lesson. And don't worry about the RB SP exhaust. It's ridiculously heavy, so your probably not losing anything in the end.

It would have been nice of youtube to post something on the video upload page telling users the video has to be under 10 minutes. I just uploaded a video yesterday that was 27 minutes and now I have to go and cut it up and upload it again. What a waste of time.
I should be there for the 16th/17th. I'm supposed to be picking up a load in Washington on the 8th and they want it back in Brampton by the 13th. **** may happen so I'll keep you posted on that one.

Yeah, they do mention it on the upload page, but you don't usually see that until you have a video ready to upload. I've been caught by that myself, and its a pain in the **** to have to go back and re-edit your entire video...
You can always change the rendering settings to get it under a gig, but there's not much you can do to shorten the video once it's been completed. Good luck with version 2.
