The video has been moved from its original location. It can now be found here:

No tie-rods were broken in the making of this video...but some beers met their demise and a few people got sun-burned a bit.

Steve,

Great video!

I noticed that brainless person on the ATV cut through the line of Hummers and come close to getting nailed by the truck going in the oposite direction.

BTW, where were all the women in bikinis and thongs? I thought all the women out there in California wore them to the beach? http://www.elcova.com/infopop/emoticons/icon_smile.gif

That beach was absolutely crowded...it was like Woodstock or something. Everywhere you turned there were quads, trucks, ATV's...you name it.

The quads all seems very interested in the Hummers....at times they swarmed around us...but usually kept a safe distance.

As for the women...wrong kind of beach! The water was cold, the air cool and the wind kicks up to nasty gust between 4-7pm.

Glad you enjoyed the video.

Joyce,

I do have a 3rd-row seat...and that seat does have a shoulder restraint that crosses through the backside of my kids car-seat. As for the center car seat....we did not use a strap anchor...but easily could have (we have one in the main vehicle my wife drives.

We could have used that strap, but since the kid weighs 1/3 of what the seat can handle, there's no way it would need it.

Just so ya know...I often put my daughter in the front seat (in her car seat) and merely de-activate the front air-bag using the key-switch.

Hmmmmm....
Okay......
Yeah....

FINE, next time I'll use the anchor strap and I won't put my kid in the front seat anymore (even if the air-bag is turned off).

sheesh.... http://www.elcova.com/infopop/emoticons/icon_rolleyes.gif http://www.elcova.com/infopop/emoticons/icon_biggrin.gif

Steve,
Are you just using iMovie to edit with? And what kind of camera are you using?
I just picked up a Sony TRV80 (because of the NightShot, heh hehhttp://www.elcova.com/infopop/emoticons/icon_biggrin.gif) to shoot the Rubi' trip with, so I should have a movie put together soon after I get back. http://www.elcova.com/infopop/emoticons/icon_smile.gif

DF,

I'm using Primeire 6.5 for editing...it took me a long time to get the hang of that program....it could EASILY be a complete college course...perhaps even 2 segments even!

Alec uses MovieMaker and I think it does the same thing as my ridiculously more 'powerful' program...I've yet to tap the programs potential. It's fun, but count on several hours of time to produce something decent!

My camera is a Canon Optura 20, I like the large screen and didn't care for the Sony's button's-on-screen deal. It also helps to have others contribute footage, and you see how I incorporate pics into the project as well.

Biggest keys: Hold the camera very still, use a tripod if you can. Do NOT zoom in & out...if you do...do it slowly and infrequently. You can't fix anything in editing. Get lots of lead and trailing material (hold the camera on for a while and let it run after the shot). And above all else....get as much sexuality into the piece as possible: never underestimate the perverted ways of this forum!

That's why I got the Sony with the Nightshot. I'll try to drop in some subliminal strip club shots to keep your attention.

Steve,

Have you ever considered pushing these vids to GM? Use their commercial mite to push the cause.

If these vids reached the public through commercials, I think there would be more understanding for the H2.

Alot of car companies do it. Customer stories. We need stuff like that to back up the flashy hype of those H2 commercials.

Oh and I love the cleavage shot...RRRROEW!

As always Steve, great job on the video. But once again, I hate you and every one of those people there. Pismo is another one of the places I've dreamt about many many nights, riding the dunes on my quad or my bike. http://www.elcova.com/infopop/emoticons/icon_cool.gif

Thanks for the compliments. I can assure you that both Alec and I put a LOT of time & work into making these things....and no matter how often we hear it...it still feels nice to get the appreciation!!!!!!

Nice!!! New York doesn't have anything like that those dunes. Nor could we get that many Hummers together. I'm depressed.

You have to travel up the road a bit to Avila Beach to see the women you're looking for. http://www.elcova.com/infopop/emoticons/icon_smile.gif

Steve, awwwsome video and it was so nice of you to put all that effort into it,for all to enjoy. Now if only the 12 or so H2 in Redding, Ca. could get this type of event going!
Pegi and I will have to meet up with you guys sometime, especially when you go to Pismo Beach again.

Steve R

10-15-2003, 02:08 AM

We definitely plan to hit the beach again....too much fun, an entirely different kind of offroading to say the least.

I'm thinking about hitting it off-season. From what I understand....that area never really has a 'winter' and the place is almost near empty during off-season.

We could get prime hotels right in the area for cheap and organize something really big with the Northern Hummer folks. Heck...let's open it up to the entire West Coast. Perhaps something in late March? (lots of green on the way in)

Steve R

10-15-2003, 04:10 AM

Okay Alec....I wouldn't want to present an afront to your delicate nature or risk getting sand in your rig.....

Did I mention the kegs of beer and strippers? (we all have our price bud...)

Hey Dennis...if you want to come on down from the great North...just remember to release a few pounds of air pressure from your girlfriend for each 1000-feet of altitude you drop: I'd hate to see her burst before hitting the beach! (again)

(gosh...I hope a moderator doesn't nail me for that last comment!! http://www.elcova.com/infopop/emoticons/icon_eek.gif)

Steve,

I have aboot 6-7 business flights to LA in the next few months. If Allah willing, I'll drive down for one to coincide with yer HH. I'll bring the hamsters.

P.S. I'm reporting you to Jason.

Oh drat...I was gambling that Dennis wasn't following this meaningly thread.

Ya know what I'm thinking...if we get/give enough notice...we can pull this off as a West Coast Hummer gathering. Why not? It's a beautiful location, open, easy, fun, etc!!!

We can get the NorCal pack, us, the Colorado boys, even DRTYFN can show up and teach us how to incorporate more profanity into our daily routine!

How's about.....hmmmm.....March 20th!

Let's fill that beach with so many Hummers that you can't see the sand!

We're going in March....the landscape on the way up will be stunning: super-green, wineries, ocean, mountains.....it's awesome!

Stay out of the salt-water, and you'll bring the H2 home in the same condition as when she left.

10-16-2003, 03:19 PM

Steve,

Come on! Not on the 20th! http://www.elcova.com/infopop/emoticons/icon_frown.gif.

Well if it is, I'll try to make it. Don't worry, I'm only an ******* on the internet. http://www.elcova.com/infopop/emoticons/icon_biggrin.gif.

Might bring a couple more H2s and see if we can dig up Spidey.

10-16-2003, 05:37 PM

well...it's early enough that we can work with the date. I'm figuring March is a good time..we want to hit it off-season so that the place is less crowded. Does anyone know when Easter is this next year????

We could move it up to March 13th?

According to askjeeves.com next year Easter will be on April 11, 2004.

Nice video. I have to play it for my wife. We both rented quads at Pismo Beach in 1995. What a blast the west coast is. We would join you in a heartbeat but it is just a BILLION MILES AWAY. http://www.elcova.com/infopop/emoticons/icon_mad.gif

Thanks for putting so much time into the editing. I have used an editor before and not only does it take time to put the compilation together it takes lots of time to encode the final video. Thanks it really takes me back there.

Cheers

Count me and the wife in for Pismo! I'll also bring a couple of quads and a Rover buddy. I didn't have my H2 when we hit Pismo last time but man there is nothing like blasting through the bowls on a quad...I can't imagine how much fun it would be in the H2.

Anybody up for planning a caravan down from NoCal?

Chris

Steve R

10-22-2003, 04:42 AM

Chris,

Get in touch with my buddy Brian...Norcal, he's at h2norcal@sbcglobal.net

He's not only planning on coming down....but he's also putting together a Northern version of the same club we have.

At present, we're planning on hitting Pismo again in March. The H2 does great on the dunes....lots of fun!!!!

Get hooked-up with Brian and we'll be sure to see ya.
