My first video. Hope you guys enjoy it. My little brother wouldnt come out and film for me so i had one hand on the XS3 and the other on the camera.... eeek. Took about 2.5 hours from start of filming to finished product. Edited 15min of footage down to that 4:32. Would have kept going but i damaged the body in the crash that one set of rear led's popped out and the transmitter was dangerously low. It became low just as i began filming. Go easy on me folks :)

Looks like fun. I enjoyed it :D

I just hate it when the remote batteries die out on ya at the worst moment possible - had that happen a few times. Once that happens, cars tend to have an increased attraction with the curbs... :p

I, personally, love night driving but since it's Canada it can be a pain in the butt sometimes for a few reasons. It's cold, and at night your reaction times are cut like in half. Since I got a 10T and 8cells in my TC3, I do not have time to blink while watching my car. Not blinking = tears streamin out of eyes; tears streaming out of eyes causes two slight problems - either blink and risk crashing into curb or not blink and not be able to see for beans and again, risk crashing into the nice comfy curb.

Nice Vid!

Gotta love Canada :D

Thanks dave. Of all the curbs ive incountered i like the kind that are on my street the best as you have a 50/50 chance of damage or not. and not to mention you can get some pretty decent air if you are in full control.

The curbs in my area are something like 80 degrees from the pavement, so if you DO hit one, in any way, expect damage. The fact that they form a "ramp" between driveways can also be dangerous. Whether the car sustains damage or not, the body will for sure - Especially if you flip it. Then it's like you're on sandpaper. And when you're goin at least 50 mph, its like sliding on a cheese grater if you're not on your wheels :rolleyes: .

Goin over sewers, as they are about every 100 feet and occasionally they slip your mind.... those are the ultimate flip-causing objects. I've had a car flip more than 15 times, into a curb off a sewer during a speed pass :eek: Let's not even talk about the damage from that....

Well, I suppose it comes down to just making every attempt possible to keep away from anything not either a large teddy bear or a pillow :D
