Today's bash: pics and vids

Post by Hard_top »

Greyzook and I hit the wombat today. We are still newbies so enjoy the memories of stock rigs and simple trails. We are having a bloody ball in our rigs and each weekend we find more tracks!!

Some pics and vids (quicktime required) here: www.munroboards.com/suzi/

Nice work fellas - looks like there's good fun to be had out that way. :cool:

I'll second NAM's WMV suggestion - it's smaller, and it's another chance to raise your nose to mac owners :D

pretty much back to stock

gained a gear with the rockhoppers on 26s
lost a gear going to 34s
so back to stock really

in rockhopper low it still crawls better on the 34s than stock low on 26s though

2 suggestions... try JAlbum, creates and uploads the whole photo album (creates thumbnails etc) very quickly and painlessly... it works very very well (http://www.datadosen.se/jalbum/)

The second suggestion is if you've got Win XP, or Millenium (people use that?!) use the built in "Windows Movie Maker" to compress the videos... I personally have a 56k dial-up connection and videos is something I tend to avoid unless they're a "reasonable size"... your 4Mb video there might fit on 200kb... works well I find.

By the way, nice pics :)

Cheers,


Luis
