Awesome video..I like how you did the Chase cam, very few people turn the camera around and film someone chasing em. Great job!

Nice video

It looked like you were crawling through the Dragon when you were shooting Derf chasing you until it switched to a view of the front. Night runs rule

Thanks for the compliments guys. We actually weren't going terribly quick when I was running the chase cam. DERF's tires weren't in great shape (as you can tell from the dorifto), so I had to run about 6/10th's so he could keep up . Would've been nice to have better weather; I'm sure I would've gotten some better footage.

Anyway, I still have about 2 hours total to sift through and pull out the good bits; I should be putting a few more videos up in the coming days/weeks.

If anyone has bandwidth and online storage space for me to put the videos, that would be great. The google version is such low res I almost don't even like watching it. I'm getting about 100mb for each file so far (could go smaller if I did DIVX but I'm too impatient for the compression).

That reminds me Denny: I need to get that time lapse of our trip down there. It moves so quickly that it's often hard to tell I'm even traveling with the 6 and then 11 of us, but still worth seeing! Maybe that should be the next project?
