    I have been watching your videos @Ezrider_48501 on changing truck brakes, third members, axles, and air line repair. I haven't a clue what you are doing, but I enjoy watching anyway.

    You guys are cruel. I’ll bet most of you look like extras for the movie “wrong turn “..

    lol, groovy man :thumbright:

    thanks man :thumbleft: i really appreciate it. this particular video is not necessarily my best example or the type of video I'm really trying to create. but i try hard to try to make my video's the best i can and constantly learning how/where improvements can be made. its a learning process for sure. ill work on trying to make my video's a little clearer too still trying to find that fine line between making a video move along fast enough to be engaging but not move so fast that its easy to get lost or skip over too much.

    if you haven't already hit that subscribe button on youtube, i don't post every video to the forums.

    man i dunno id get pretty buff if i had to dig all them holes with a shovel. i might look even scarier without it. isn't that why everyone who has a skid steer owns one? ;)

    lol i did get into a little independent film stuff when i was a lot younger, unfortunately the projects ran out of funding and never saw completion. i was a guy fighting aliens with a machine gun one time.....lol

    No, your truck repair videos are fine. Don't try to dumb them down for me. :)

    That video where you change out a tractor tire in the snow and ice. It was so cold and desolate. That 4 minute clip belonged in the movie Fargo somewhere.

    lol yeah that wasn't a very fun day did a total of 10 tires that day. of course i should have recorded the last one rather than the first one, i had not done any tires for a while and was a little rusty when i recorded that one by the 10th tire they were going like butter....lol

    there are defiantly some things iv picked up on that that are not very clear. like the airline video for example. i failed to actually show what kind of fitting i was using, just kinda assumed people would know what kind of fitting i was using from viewing from a distance. didn't really dawn on me till after the fact if you already know what kind of fitting i am using you probably already know how to splice a airline.....lol the slightly more advanced stuff is probably not as important to show small detail as someone probably isn't going to attempt or be looking to gain more knowledge on it without having the basic fundamentals down first. the simpler stuff is easier to make detailed video on, something that i can do in 5 mins i can probably record in 10 and is easy to edit into a detailed 3-5 min video that is still engaging and entertaining. something that takes you the better part of a day then you have hours of footage to go threw and try to edit it into a short video that doesn't drag on and get boring and carry on kinda like this post........lol

    i am glad you are finding them to be entertaining. i am still learning on the video thing. so defiantly appreciate the feedback.

    You sound like a news reporter. The ELOG DID NOT CAUSE IT. The HUMAN caused it. Wake up!
