Nicely done...looks like a nice place to fly! BTW, weren't you having some Plover/Ranger issues or is this a 'new' location?

nice vid and that OBE @2:26 looked painful.................................I know that local......................I was stationed at Langley in the early 80s and my grandmother lives in Hampton....................................

@ LB, yeah they want me gone ,but I ain't goin away quietly.
@ tridude, you know it sure enough:yes:,little piece of paradise it is.:wink2: And I'm an OBE crash test dummy, that was nothin, wrecking at 30 mph on a landboard is alot worse.:wow:

You had sat still long enough I got nervous about what the kite was doing and you sitting sideways in that soft sand. The hair started to stand up on the back of my neck and then poof, you were gone. Only a real man would leave the obe in the vid. Congrats. Your buggy looks very balanced and fun to ride. I'm impressed with people that can do great things with their hands and that is awesome that you made it AND it does such a fine job.

nice video!!! love the eject!!!

Todd - 9-9-2010 at 04:24 AM

You're welcome Donnie the video looked outstanding! :thumbup: Loved the shot at 2:40 sweeeet and I have to tell you I miss that beach. Were you using the Vegas pro 9 for editing?


The music was building, who was that?

WELDNGOD - 9-9-2010 at 01:14 PM

Todd, believe it or not ,I was not using vegas, still havn't my cranium around it. But windows movie maker for win7 works pretty good.
The music is from the album 'the real thing" by Faith no more, the song is called woodpecker from mars. I only used half of the song, I'll use the other half somewhere else.

BB, The kite luffed and fell back into the window and opened. I was ready for it, didn't hurt a bit. Looked good though

GREAT riding and editing. The soundtrack fits the bill too. Been years since I heard Woodpecker from Mars. Thanks

Nice Vid!!
Watching you fly the Century without a Harness made my arms hurt.
Looking at the video you have the skills, so why are you not using a harness? It probably would have stopped you OBE!

WELDNGOD - 10-9-2010 at 02:37 AM

I do fly "hotwired" sometimes w/ QR, but there were pedestrians out that day.

flyguy0101 - 11-9-2010 at 07:25 AM

Awesome vid, glad to hear you are flying again at your sweet spot
