California Interstate 5 (I-5) Grapevine Ascent at 300 MPH

[surfordie82]

Looks like alot of people were hauling more ass than you up the hill haha. They must've been going like 400 mph.

[916stevely]

If this is 300mph. then there sure are lots of cars passing you....LMAO

[rematchsixsix]

@916stevely lo0lol

LO0Ol0lo

lo0lo0oo0ll so funny lo0ol0l.

No, just kidding. I'm not a complete idiot.

Recently moved to Cali and drove the Grapevine for the first time this past weekend to camp up at Kings Canyon. Nice Vid.

[Sami7685]

I'll be driving by the Grapevine this summer to get to my family in Sacramento. There are a few regular stops we used to take going from San Diego to Penn Valley, and this is one of them. Kinda nostalgic.

@Sami7685 - that in n out burger is ALWAYS a stop for me whenever i cross / prepare to cross the grapevine... i love that place

[prettyTipsy]

when we were on our way to disneyland... we were on the grapevine and it started to snow. We were lucky they didnt close it down. BTw it was Spring time!

[luckyonekitkatone]

@prettyTipsy we just had a recent snow fall in frazier like a week ago..craxy huh?

[TrinityWilderness1]

300 MPH, my ass. Even speeded up this is nowhere NEAR 300MPH. Thumbs down...

[innovationsurvival]

@TrinityWilderness1 Well, I was doing the limit (60 or so) and the ascent is played at 5X speed. The math is fairly straightforward.

[paintballplayer07]

@innovationsurvival yeah thats the problem with videos that are fast forwarded. it doesnt show the blur that the human eye would see and the camera would catch. its only after you hit 75-80 miles per hour that a camera starts to fall behind.

[ffffaffff]

@innovationsurvival ...rofl r u srs

[deangmoxon]

what is the song in this vid ??? and how can i get ma a copy ????

[innovationsurvival]

@deangmoxon Find me on the Web at InnovationSurvival and send an email. I'll see if I can find the song.

[deangmoxon]

@innovationsurvival i found you at the other site but the mail would not get delivered

[innovationsurvival]

@deangmoxon look at the address and remove the "xxxxx"

[innovationsurvival]

This is a song I produced using Garage Band......

[deangmoxon]

what is the song in this vid ???

[innovationsurvival]

It was on a tripod, strapped to the passenger seat and sticking about a foot out out the moon roof of a Mercury Mystique.

[mrRhwalden]

Cool Vid... Where did you mount the cam?

[boogerchamp]

I had my campershell blow off one night just as I crested a hill. I pulled over and backed up to retrieve it and then BAM! A car coming over the hill drove through it like a fat kid smacking a Pinata. It can get real windy at times.

[innovationsurvival]

The desert you remember was a marsh in the early 1900s. In some places, you could drill down a few feet and water shot up about two feet. There was a 200 square mile lake around Kettleman City that is now gone, along with Lake Buena Vista.

Finally, the USA's largest oil spill occurred about 30 miles away from the bottom of the Grapevine

See my "Innovation in Science" YouTube video for details on that fascinating story.

Thanks again,

Nice video! I drove I-5 this summer, crazy road for the first 100 or so miles out of LA then it turns into a desert for 300 miles.

[xcallmethebigggx]

That's the worse spot to speed on the 5 Sheriff station is right there and they have radars tracked on the freeway

[bkinouye]

The cars in the fast lane must have been going 400 MPH.

[8124817S]

I drive from S.F. to S.D. twice a year & I'm always taken back in awe as I come out of the grapevine heading home & viewing the vastness of CA99 & I5 continue up the Golden State!

[Juliansworld]

nice video of the grapevine and nice music too. I like driving the grapevine

[HDMrWatterBottle]

The grapevine looks so sandy and old looking. Thats a wildfire waiting to happen

[innovationsurvival]

@HDMrWatterBottle Um, yup. In fact, a fire burned through there about three years ago and shut it down until it was over...

[HDMrWatterBottle]

@innovationsurvival Really hope it doesn't happen again. Thats the only way to get to disneyland. lol. I guess if you fly it would be different. But driving is always funner.

[Corello1249]

Damn, that's a lot of trucks. Is there a specific sign stating that they aren't allowed in the far left lane? Because I'm seeing a shockingly low level of lane hogging by these guys.

[innovationsurvival]

@Corello1249

I could be wrong, but, in normal circumstances, I believe trucks have to drive in the right two lanes by law, passing into the right-most of the two only to pass another slower truck. But then, there are always max surprises - aren't there?

[LinkDeadAvitar]

@Corello1249 auto's with trailers Trucks-right 2 lanes only

1:43

[ScrewdUPClickV2]

what kind of camera do you use ?

[innovationsurvival]

@ScrewdUPClickV2

Sorry for the delay, but YouTube had response posting problems. My camera is a Sony DCR-HC48. It's good, but strong light really helps. You have some nice videos yourself BTW.....

[peanyous1]

This is fantastic ! I love Bakersfield City.

I`m driving I-5 and free way 99 every day.

[Js00312]

4:12 Tejon Pass.. I usually drive through there.. Auburn-Los Angeles-San Ysidro-Tijuana.. Great video buddy!

[innovationsurvival]

Actually, I have a 1/3rd or so HD video camera. YouTube's definition od HD is not really 1080x1080.....

Glad you like it. I have the descent footage but just have not had time to post it. I started at the truck brake check area and ended at the Valencia In-N-Out Burger off Lyons avenue.

Some day.....

[FreewayBrent]

This is totally awesome! I'm hoping to film this freeway again in the near-future, in HD. Thanks for posting this.
