Reflections of a Rider, My SaddleSore 1000 pt1

[RedlineScream]

This is what it's about =) Class job with the editing.

[NewEnglandNinja]

Very cool! Thanks for putting this up, its nice to see a v-logger do something from the heart.

[chado34]

@NewEnglandNinja thank you and thanks for the sub as well...

I like going on trips by myself. I can do what I want, when I want.

They Dragoon does not have those steep grades, so it makes it easy if you go

within your limits.

Great riding weather here. About 83 degrees every day, with sunshine. Im going to Sedona!

[chado34]

@DarkFlight600 hey thanks for the kind words sir. Ive never been one to have a large following or massive views, just how it goes i guess! no worries here! glad ya liked it

[2wheelpaul]

Great video, very professional. Look forward to the rest of the trilogy

[chado34]

@2wheelpaul Thanks paul!

I've known of you, but when this video was a recommendation, I thought I'd watch it. You have expressed the essence of motorcycling far better than I've seen so far. Billmaa is known for his editing capabilities, and you've equalled him on this one. I try to edit, but only succeed in making a fool out of myself.

This is a favorite and I'm subscribing! Thanks for posting this!

[chado34]

@really2ugly WOW! Im not even sure how to respond to that... that truly means a lot to me. Thank you! and thanks for the sub as well.

[really2ugly]

@chado34 You could watch some of my videos and then comment that I need to give up, like everyone else does! (Well, some have......)

[chado34]

@really2ugly people tell me the same thing believe it or not!

[YarekBalear]

Love your attitude. Being a new rider I'm glad to see experienced riders give validation to everyone who rides, regardless of their capability. Don't think I could do that ride in the UK though - we go through about four seasons in a day here :P

[chado34]

@YarekBalear you could totally do the ride. experiencing the 4 seasons is part of the fun

[XXX526]

Sounds like you had a great time! I think I'd like to do a SS1000 as well, but I'm not sure I would do it alone. Did you get pretty worn out?

[chado34]

@XXX526 actually it wasnt bad at all

[JimNtexas]

That could not have come at a better time for me, I'm leaving on an ss1000 tomorrow morning! I can probably ride the 1000 miles, but never in a million years could I make such a high quality video!

[chado34]

@JimNtexas they thanks so much Jim! that means alot to me. glad you liked it and good luck on your ride tomorrow!

[RedanWhiteRebel]

Fantastic vid Chad looking forward to Part two........was one of the disappointments of my trip that due to bad weather following Hurricane Lee that I lost a day and did not get to ride through the Smoky Mountains.

[chado34]

@RedanWhiteRebel have you ever on your trips to the states yet? its amazing up there. if ya need stops, directions and the like let me know. I know the area pretty well.

[sgtmarkins]

Loved the off bike camera interview going on. Mixed in with the ride footage... Very well done.

[chado34]

@sgtmarkins I glad you liked it, i was nervous how the off bike stuff would go over. seems everyone is digging it

[Brad420R6]

man great vid cant wait to see more

[chado34]

@Brad420R6 Thanks Brad, what do you think if the format?

[azwakko]

Great vid and well said.

[chado34]

@azwakko Merci!

[bakker46]

Very nice man , how you find the words tell the story....yeah man really nice.

[chado34]

@bakker46 thanks... to be honest i wrote a 6 page blog, but when i sat down in front of my camera... i just spoke from the top of my head. LOL i guess thats also reflection

[2008superduke]

Why is there always some old guy with a metal detector at the beach :). Is he really looking for gold or watching the girly's. I would like to an iron but to when do you sleep though

[chado34]

@2008superduke sleep? you dont! HAHAHA

[onejillion]

Excellent, Chad! Looking forward to the next part!!

[chado34]

@onejillion thanks Jill

[GLBoca]

Nice job!! I find that when I am watching videos that are posted on youtub that I enjoy the raw less edited videos just as much as more seriously edited ones.

witch I think is just like the exzample you used when you described the differnt was to enjoy the same road if that makes any cents?

anyway I allways enjoy you stuff thanks alot for the effort!!!

[chado34]

@GLBoca thanks Boca... i couldnt agree more and am so pleased you enjoy them. ultimately i would love to have the professional look with the raw feel of "real life and real people"... Thanks again!

[GLBoca]

@chado34 I think that you came close to that professinal raw feel in the ozarks videos.

[chado34]

@GLBoca yeah those came out good!

[Wilks89]

Awesome way of putting feelings into words!!!

[chado34]

@Wilks89 thanks wilks... i was a little hesitant to do this format, but i couldnt conceptualize how else to do it. I wasnt sure how the moto world would receive it.

[funkiershit]

Extremely well produced. Liked and fav'd for sure! Looking forward to part 2!

[chado34]

@funkiershit thanks bud! preciate it!

[RC62]

SWEET! Looking forward to the next part. :D

[chado34]

@RC62 do ya like the format rob?

[RC62]

@chado34 Yep! Very documentary like.

As I watched this, I had the thought that it would be really cool if you were to do some film making and editing tutorials or tips. I liked the slow pan effect you used in parts. I'm thinking you zoomed the vid in the editor then panned the center of the vid? Either that or you fixed something to pan the cam when you shot it. :D

Anyway, not sure you (or anyone else) would enjoy how too vids but I sure would. I love learning the techniques. :D

[chado34]

@RC62 i can probably put something together ;) All of this footage was shot by myself, makes it hard so you have to do some creative editing...
