Another Movie!

(More blog entries from ryan)

Dragon Corridor shines again!

On such a great day, it was hard to stay inside. So, I brought Susan and Amy with me for a ski.

This is the longest video yet: a run down Dragon Corridor all the way back to the fields. It gets a bit shaky at points, so with all my videos: Dramamine recommended. In my defense, I was trying to keep up with these two (who are not slow) while skiing without poles. And I was carrying a piano! (Piano not pictured.)

Enjoy!

The conditions are really nice right now. Can't wait for tomorrow!

Not fair. I am sitting in my office in Boston looking out at the concrete and tall buildings! The skiing looks so nice. In my next life, my job will be a different one.

Only a couple weeks to go until your visit. Who knows? Maybe you could stay. We'll teach you to drive the Pisten Bully!

Were you on your classic skis? Skiing that fast to stay up with the "girls" on skates? And taking a movie as well? I'm impressed - great video!

I was skating. I do know how to skate, you know! It just doesn't happen very often.

Ryan, you should try a steadicam mount for your camera. It's much simpler and cheaper than it sounds. Maybe you can even make one from a ski pole. Here are some links: $25 DIY: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bVe8wK7NWH0 $14: DIY http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vvTcBdTOM5A $0: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=T1aPbwcqquk Had a great time at G.G. as usual last Friday, but didn't run into you (you were out shooting video).

Steadicam? Why would I need one of those? What are you trying to say?

Ryan . . . Man, I'm impressed! Another great video. Nice job!!! How the heck did you keep up with "the girls" especially on those UPHILLS . . . Yikes, you are one cool dude. Will this make you one of the really fast Meister guys? Ya, for sure !! How about skiing the Meister course on skakes, without poles, filming the whole way. We viewers might experience motion sickness but hey, your video clips are just too much fun. Tell Susan and Amy thanks for the free skiing tips. And, tell Mom she needs to retire and get up here.

Well, Ed's Buddy, the short answer is barely. It wasn't the easiest thing I've ever done, and of course, they showed no mercy. And you can see that the video shakiness is directly correlated to the effort I'm putting out. The only reason I add music is so you can't hear my panting.
