you lost me after the word " skateboarding"

Sweeet!

I've tried doing this for about 500m a few times, I went what I thought was fast but not a touch on that speed all I can say is HOLY CRAP... that is scary, coming off at that speed would give some severe road rash, and the most terrifying thing of all... you can't stop.

Gave me sweaty palms just watching it... these guys have balls.

Thank god, you've been tailing me forever.

I've yet to see the equivalent with windsurfing (or kitesurfing). There's a number of first person videos on youtube, but none of them convey the sense of actually doing it like that vid. You really feel like you are riding with them. Is it just the wide angle lens and the high quality video?

evlPanda, you obviously haven't seen my video!

(but how do you stop youtube from stuffing up the quality???)

Just watched your Vid, quite nice, just change the quality from "Normal" to "High Quality" and it all comes up sweet

I run Mozilla and have a little doobry installed which defaults all to high

Click the "HD is ON' button on the right side of the movie screen - under 'like', 'share', 'embed' buttons, it will change to HD is OFF, so low quality/fast download

Aw man.. I was waiting to see the jibe!

That is what EVERYONE says. LOL. I didn't know my digicam had a 3 minute limit on videos. The gybe came about 30 seconds later. Next time, I promise.

No, not on the vid I posted (scroll to top ), on Harrow's YouTube one.

In that case, there is not change of quality option

Think Harrow mean, when you upload a file that Youtube automatically lowers the resolution (to save bandwidth), loosing vid quality, and how do you stop that.

Apparently you can add "&fmt=6" to the end of the address to get the vid in high quality in youtube (if it was uploaded in that (i presume)), but doesn't work with Harrow's
