XM T-Motion Kit installation

Here are some pictures of the install. It went smoothly and the sled seems to tip on the concrete a bit easier.  It isn't a huge difference but it is enough to feel.  Maybe it will feel lighter on the snow.  We just won't know until the snow flies.

Helmet Camera Update -updated

Just a quick update. I got my new Helmet Camera in the mail today. I am excited to start making videos and sharing them with you all. The features of this thing are so cool. I love that I can use my cell phone through bluetooth as the view finder. I can also change settings with my phone. The GPS seems to work well too. Stay tuned for some videos in the future.

Update-I have been playing with the features of the camera and it is sweet. I have the ability to record GPS stats, but I am trying to get them imbeded into a video so I can share on YouTube. So far Contour 's Storyteller software has been giving me trouble on this front. It Strips the GPS data out before it posts to YouTube. I am exploring two workarounds right now. Stay tuned Still.

Got my XM kit for my new 2011 SKidoo

I am adding a T-motion kit to my new 2011.  I will taking pictures, measurements ect while I change it out.  SO those wondering the differences stay tuned.  Questions and comments welcome!.

I can't imagine what would of happened to this guy if he had gone over. I saw this video online a while back. It is incredible. I think you ask will gasp, and say "Holy Crap". This one makes my wife uncomfortable.

Time to Burn

Sometimes we have extra time on our hands.  Most of the time that is a rare thing.  It is nice to use this extra time to catch up on the little neglected things in life.  For me, I used this extra time to make a video summary of my brother snowmobiling last year.

My brother brought me his GoPro and said; "This has all my videos on it. Could you download them and make me a copy?"  I of course said that I would.  Well it was 8 GB of boring. :)  I decided to take the highlights though and make a movie.  I didn't want to cut too much out because it was for him, and they where his memories I was toying with.   I think compared to the raw footage this is much better, but it is 10 minutes long.  So if you have time, take a look.

I also did it to gain a bit more experience editing videos.  I am still very novice and limited on my abilities to churn out a professional looking video.  I have imbedded the video on this blog for you all to scrutinize.  Leave comments on what you think.  Try to give constructive feedback as I will use your comments to get better.  If your going to comment about the music... I know :)  I have a hard time in the music department.  Music has never been a passion of mine.  Choosing music was the hardest part, and I eventually just went with some songs.  Hope they are OK for you.

Weird thing with the video... when I was viewing it in HD it started getting jumpy.  Just a heads up you may need to turn the resolution down.

Flyboarding. This is on my bucket list for sure

My brother just sent me this video.  It looks crazy fun.  A new kind of power sport called Flyboarding.  I must try this.  I hope I get the opportunity some time.  If any of you have a hook up, let me know about it.
