Filming runs...
#1
Hey guys.

One of the things I've wanted to start doing was to run easy trails (Wells Book type stuff) and film it like we did Sunflower mine, that way I can speed it up a bit and people can "pre-run" a trail they haven't ever done before.

In order for this to happen, I need to make sure it is a "purpose run" with the intent of fliming (i.e. not spending an hour on a obstacle) and running it relatively quickly. So, to that end, I'll be posting a series of "film runs" as my schedule permits to that folks know the purpose of the run is to get though the trail without stopping and to document the route. I don't want to do this alone, but also would like to keep run sizes down to 2 or 3 Jeeps (including my own). If you are interested in a seat, let me know too.

PM me if you are interested.

Thanks!

For grins, I'm going to do Backway to Crown King this Saturday (March 10th) to practice. Easy, simple, fast. Since I have a trailer, I'm going to run it up, get gas and a Monster, then turn around and run it backwards, filming the entire way. I'd love to have some company if you want to do a quick run. I'm looking at being at airdown by 6:30, on the trail by 7 AM. 3 hours up, 3 hours back, done by 1, home by 2.

I can't do this weekend, but I'd like to get the shiny jeep out on some easier trails. I'll watch for you to post the next ones.

Just sticking with Wells Book stuff right now (which already has coordinates) and building a library. What we do with that library later is a discussion for a different thread. :)

Matt - hit me up when you're ready.

Sounds Fun. Quite the good idea. I like cruzing through trails. I'll be in Wickenberg this weekend visiting with my sister. I'll see if She wants to see Crown King....

I can relate to that Chris. When I was working, which I would really like to be doing again, going to sleep was my only priority when I got home.

Definately post the GPS coordinates on the VJC. It's ok to do now. Plus they run on a mac, so it'll handle the server load.
