“Bullet Time” effect: 6 GoPros in a line, angled slightly inwards toward subject, then in After Effects (or whatever program you want) cut from one shot to the next, then slow down with Twixtor.

Having been bombarded, for more than two years, with countless stories of the hikers held prisoner in Iran, and having had quite enough of the political correctness so invasive in our daily lexicon, I have decided that somebody needs to say SOMETHING which is politically DIRECT about this whole situation. So, here we go. An open letter to the hikers.

Dear Hikers,

We Are All Iranian Prisoners Now

What the hell is wrong with you people? Do you come by your stupidity genetically or is it a byproduct of your ideology? Perhaps both. The Iranians said you were spies but that can’t possibly be true. You’re far too brain-dead to be spies. I’m going to go out on a limb here and take a wild shot at it. You’re all liberals aren’t you?

You went HIKING. Hiking is good. Hiking doesn’t leave a carbon footprint regardless of the amount of fossil fuel you burned to GET to your starting point. You shouldn’t be allowed to walk around the block without supervision. You could have gone for a walk in the park, or hiked on a trail in the mountains, but NOOOOOOOOO.

YOU MORONS!! You decided to go hiking along the border between Iran and Iraq. What exactly did you THINK was going to happen? Did you think you were going to meet a bunch of Iraqi or Iranian hippy freaks and exchange wildflowers and maybe share some weed?

You didn’t go over there for some noble purpose like building a school or to provide medical services or even to help rebuild a road or a bridge. You went ˜hiking” in a war zone next to a country that hates us. Seriously, what the hell? You managed to wander from the Iraqi side of the border over to the Iranian side. What? No map? No GPS? No common sense? What? Did the Iranians not know the words to Kum ba yah?

You went to Iranian jail didn’t you? All three of you, but one of you got to go home early because of your delicate constitution, didn’t you? Did you enjoy your two years in Iranian jail? Did you?? The Omanis bailed your sorry butts out of stir but had they asked ME, I would have told them to save their money and let you rot. As far as I’m concerned, the Iranians could have kept you but as it is now WE’RE stuck with you again and, frankly, it’s a waste of our effort to watch over you numb nuts.

Oh happy, happy joy, joy you’re on your way home. When you get here, no doubt you’ll be treated like celebrities and the media will be knocking at your collective doors. I’m sure you’ll either sell your story to People magazine or, maybe first, you’ll grace the pages of Newsweek with a cover stating “We Are All Iranian Prisoners Now! You’ll tell us you were “well treated”, and you’ll thank everybody who arranged for your release.

I wouldn’t be surprised if you thanked Ahmadinejad. Do you three have ANY idea what REALLY happened? ANY IDEA?

You weren’t arrested for being spies, you were KIDNAPPED for being AMERICANS. You weren’t released after a court hearing; you were PUT ON DISPLAY and RANSOMED. Now, because of YOU, dictators and other criminals around the world KNOW they can kidnap Americans and get paid to let them go.

YOU slackers have made the world MORE dangerous for Americans. Think about that while you give your interviews and sell your story.

For future reference, here are some things you need to learn. Don’t lay on railroad tracks. Bad things will happen if you do. Don’t play in traffic. Bad things will happen if you do. Don’t run with scissors. Bad things will happen if you do. Don’t try to pretend you and grizzly bears are friends. Bad things will happen if you do.

DON’T GO HIKING IN A WAR ZONE NEAR IRANIANS WITH GUNS. BAD THINGS WILL HAPPEN IF YOU DO.

One more thing: Never, I repeat NEVER, seek employment as a hiking guide. Bad things will happen to others if you do.

Idiots!!

Looks like the base price is around $299.00 and they make a wide assortment of cool mount systems from chest to bike and just about any surface you would want to take had video from.

Here is some pretty cool info about the Go Pro HD Hero

Here is the deal when we are born we are as dumb as we are ever going to be, at that point in life we began to learn and suck up new knowledge like a sponge, by the time we are teens we should be able to shit and feed our sorry asses right? Well if any one out there has a teen I bet you are wondering if you have done something wrong, they should be smarter right! So now this not so bright teen turns 21 and the world is there’s for the taking, this is your next world leaders! Well you know things are not going to go good, what the hell happened….since kids now days think the older you are the dumber you become, yea like I haven’t taken care of myself for the past 45 years, what the hell are they thinking!

Do I know more than a 21-year-old kid? I would fucking hope so! Seems like the smartest thing they have going for them is there smart phones, if they knew how to use them! What they probably need to learn is a little untaught thing called RESPECT, that would shut them up long enough to start to listen and learn…time is the best teacher in life. That is if you are smart and live long enough to have this time!

Live Learn Die And Forget It All!

I have taken a job at Sundance in the Tree Room as a Prep Chef, the job is ok for a kitchen job, I would rather be working outside on the mountain but there were no jobs left so I had to eat glass and go into F&B. This put a damper in my Diabetic diet that I had been working on, but im not done with it yet, I plan to get started back up as soon as I get clear from all the crap!

I have only been riding a 2 days a week but plan on adding in a few morning rides just to break the boring, last Sunday I did take a ride with Cory from the Foundry Grill at Sundance….was fun

Ok check out my activity for more and do sign up k
