Blue Raptor catching air at Little Sahara - YouTube

Those video stills are going to make some awesome pics! (Or was that taken with a camera phone?) I've got that same final 012BLUESVT ground-breaking footage from the other side. Will see if I can capture some of those pics in a bit

John, you said your alignment was out. Do you have the alignment cams?

Not yet. Whisler says we can get them from Amazon for ~ $40 per side

What video format? YouTube really likes .wmv and will upload much faster.

Mac... I think Safari loads in .wmv?

Damn computer had too much editing, iMovie, YouTube, and Raptor **** videos going all at one time. Rebooted and now am back in the game. Have to pace myself... Only one dirty video at a time!!!

Most were from my GoPro, have some on my phone that i have to transfer. I have an old cpu, gopro downloads MP4 and idk how to change to wmv format? Every time I try to edit gopro footage with realplayer it screws up the audio video sync.

Is that because you are trying to convert MP4 to .wmv using a PC? Mac should do it readily. You should be ok b/c your GoPro footage readily uploads to YouTube.

Can you capture some clear stills from that awesome footage of Joe's final ride? If you pause it will see some really nice poster potential. See my question on how to do this answered here:

Wow! Great deal. Thanks!

By the way, the TMX skidplate held up very well considering it's torture test this weekend.

TMX SKIDPLATE DUNE RUN TORTURE TEST:

Destroyed my front bumper chasing wild Raptors over dunes in the dark on Saturday night. TMX plate didn't have a nick on it.





After making some large jumps on Sunday morning, with one really rough landing, the TMX plate was cosmetically bent slightly at the front corner edges This could be easily tweaked back in place and off we go again!

You know its a hard landing when the stock mounting points are pulled down by the skid plate.

You sir, have balls of steel.
