Here's part one of the New York state run. This one is the initial attempt to get down the edge of the water. I could have kept going and probably found a way through but I didn't want to hack through brush on some people's property. Part two will have more of the action shots and less talking. I didn't bother to get all the video in sequence on the road run to the gas station. I just took video where I could. Mostly off road just past the gas station.

Thanks. Would have been nice to get down the edge a bit more but not a huge deal. I ended up with a lot more nice footage once I got down closer to the dam where there is more beach area.
Here's a screen shot from the footage I'm still editing. There were some rows of stones in the ground with a nice long run up to them. I was able to get up some speed and jump over them a couple times for the video.
Too bad it cut the top of your helmet off a bit, would've made for a great Simplicity Racing Team logo! Haha.

Thanks! And yeah that one the camera angle was just a little close.
Good news is, there was this big pipe going under the road with a lot of water flowing out of it going into the reservoir. ATV's had been crossing over some rocks where the water comes out of the pipe. I thought at first going through my footage that I forgot to get it on the go pro when I went through but turns out I did get it. Found the clip when I was editing last night. There was a lot of interesting spots around there.

Part 2. I think this is the better video footage. You can see the cool water crossing at 5:06. Still have a little bit more footage to use. I think I can do one more video which might be shorter. I think the suspension shot turned out decent. You can see how much work the suspension actually does and how much it really helps out.

Took the simplicity to an engine show/swap meet in Bangor PA with the passenger trailer. Saved some walking. Found a tripod for my video camera for $1 but no super engine deals or tractors that I wanted to buy.

How many strange looks and questions did ya get? Nice practical use of the tractor though, much cooler than an average golf cart

Thanks. Some people looked but not so many strange looks. A lot of people ride around with lawn tractors up there. Not too many modified that much but still. Worked out pretty good though. I was always going to bring it there.

This is the last of my trip video where I check out some area upstream of where all the other video was taken. Couple of small streams and things to cross. I had to upload it a bunch of times to get the audio and everything to work right. For some reason parts of it weren't loading. Then the original audio was completely gone. Now I think it's finally working right.
Jeez. Ok now it should be set to public. Thought I had switched it before but I must not have hit save. Yeah that's the same one I had up before, just had issues with the audio being correct so I kept trying to fix it. Had to delete it a couple times. Some videos upload with no problem, then some just keep getting messed up over and over. Just annoyed me so I kept re-uploading. Should be ok now though.
I wanted the original audio cut down enough to be able to hear me talking. The first time, everything was right but the video stopped at about 3/4 through and the audio kept going. Tried uploading again and the original audio was gone, but my talking was still there. Turned the original audio up a bit because I thought maybe it worked a bit different on youtube than what I could hear editing. Original audio was then too loud... Set it back how I had it and tried again. Upload failed because it was a duplicate video. Deleted everything. Uploaded again. Finally got it to work.
Just turned into a "This is happening period" kinda thing lol. Total waste of time though, I would think it would just work the first time.
Thanks. Some people looked but not so many strange looks. A lot of people ride around with lawn tractors up there. Not too many modified that much but still. Worked out pretty good though. I was always going to bring it there.
haha I saw your tractor there, I was like I recognize that. It was a pretty good show, I bought some 26" tires from this guy I buy cub parts from & a bunch of junk.
