Talking GS Snow Play Video

Hey all...
I couldn't resist the urge to capture my enjoyment today on video. Nothing fancy, but a great way to document my Saturday AM fun!

I'd welcome comments....
I swapped the original video for PART 2

Link Here to Video Part 2

Cheers

nice job of capturing a whole lot of fun on video and then sharing it with us. i really enjoyed it alot.

i like how you put titles in it.

i thought on your first doughnut you were going to hit the snowbank. then i kept waiting for that post with the light on it to get in your way.

when it snowed here in seattle last month i was doing doughnuts in the parking lot in front of our office everyday. the people in the office would all come to the window and watch. god, that was so much fun!

thanks again ivan (3dog)

Looks like fun! Too bad I can't do that over here , but I guess I have to live with the warm and sunny California weather .

Wink More on the lightpole

Yea, I did have a scare or two on that run...

If it wasn't scary now and then, we'd be sliding up and down every street with no regards, right?

The song, as you might recall, was made popular on an auto commercial (MBenz i think). The artist is J Ralph - One Million Miles Away. I usually visit a website, link to come later, that has alot of those catchy tunes available for download. I re-sampled the song to keep the file size down.

I'll post part 2 of the fun later. Different location, multiple doughnuts! New tune...

Cheers everyone.

Nice !!!... Me & my buddies had the same experience in Lake Tahoe a couple years ago. We used Chevy Tahoe. There's this huge parking lot in Squaw Valley ski resort. We did some tricks for 1/2 hour until the cops came to give us a ticket. I think the resort hotel security called them up.
But it was fun
