I don't know if you guys can see the topic post or not. I can't.

What I wrote was pretty much: Here's a video of it.

whenever I chirp in second, I'm usually going thorough a slight elevation change, so I guess the change of weight gets the front end weight off the tires enough to alough this to happen, but it still feels good. I wish I could do it all the time

And don't forget I also have onto95.avi on my FTP space right now too. I'm going to have to take a couple of these down in an hour or so, so grab 'em now if you want 'em.

Frigging windows! I wait 15 mins to download your vid (dial up sucks) and it says a proper decompressor can't load. All I get is the sound.

It sounds good though.

You need a MotionJPEG codec. Search Google for "MotionJPEG codec" and find a free one to d/l and install.
