Turf tamer what do you use to edit your go pro footage?

Windows movie maker for the raw footage then I uploaded it to youtube.
After it was finished uploading youtube asked me it I wanted to activate the anti shaking option which is why the footage looks kinda obscure at times in the video (if I do another video I will decline the anti shaking option).

OK, so here's a chunk of the photos I took at the track. I'm the dirty white Raptor with the chase rack. Pigs can't fly, but Raptors can!!

Some one just posted this video. This is the session at the end of the day when it was just me and the two Vore trucks on the track. Had my hitch cover fall out of the bed in the first jump.

Great video! I wish I had found you when I came back. One of my tool boxes was bungied down in the bed and broke free after one of the jumps. It broke the tool box and tools were flying around. I had a wrench ejected onto the track.

It looks like you were maintaining good speed on that corner before the jump, but the amount of air you got stayed the same. I was slowing in that corner and gunning the gas after, and we both got about the same air. I guess both methods ended with the same speed at the jump.

Some of us are going to CORE on Saturday in Denver. You guys would have a blast! It's VORE times 20. This weekend it will be 4x4's and Rally cars and two full days of track time for $30, including a banquet dinner.

I'll be sticking to the 15 mile Baja Desert track for most of the time, and then some hill climbing. The 15 mile track has at least 20 jumps, long straightaways, and lots of hairpin turns. The BMX track is really fun because of all the high-banked turns.

I was hitting the jump at the same speed and staying to the right of he jump. It was a smoother and more concistent landing if I did I that way.

I noticed that people hitting the jump wrong, were landing slightly twisted with the front right tire hitting first. We were doing a good job landing square.

It was definitely the best shaped jump on the course! Also nicely placed with the grandstands right there!

Yea that jump definitely has a sweet spot. The core trip sounds fun, but that's too far of a drive for me. Plus ill be getting my fix at the Sema run on 11/3.
