I just checked it out on the G4 laptop.... with nothing but Safari running and it went well.... nice stuff!

If I open up any apps at all, the Vimeo starts to chatter.... somebody had the explanation a while back.... maybe Hardman, about the problem. I recall it was something to do with Safari. Anyway....

Good stuff. Now all we need is Salad out here on a fake climbing trip and we can rool the blacktop.

Edit: here is the link for the Vimeo work around:

Hey there say...get Salad out there and we'd have to storyboard the whole thing...multiple camera angles...The Blootarski... it'd be off the hook.

Thanks for the props on the vid Salad. It sucked, but it was something. :-)

Gotta get my board straightened out. Way too stiff.
Russ was over there wiggling like Jessica Alba down that hill.
I was more like Jessica Tandy.

A aquantaince Andy dumped from a car counter at over 50 MPH.
We clocked him later at 55.

Anybody skated here? This older man appears more skilled
than the kids I see on you tube at this place.

The speeds noted are from the 70's. I think around 57 MPH
at PVP was the worlds record back then.

there is a downhill race happening in Orange County around halloween. the hill looks sick. sounds like the top riders might be hitting 70.

Great, going faster these days.
Let me know when and where. The other hill just a couple MPH
slower than the one in PVP (Palos Verde Peninsula) is in Anaheim
Hills.

steelmonkey-
we used to shuttle the Granite Mtn road when it got repaved(mid 90's). Not on cruiser boards though, full powerslide, numbfoot descents.

I got a concussion from bombing when I was in highschool. Friends said I flew 40 ft, five feet in the air, after jacking during speedwobbles. Landed in a roll, though, which kept road salsa to a minimum.

Good on all you guys.
