trikes love water (multi camera experiment)

I forgot to party for Cinco de Mayo, so I decided to have my own party on Siete de Mayo. I brought some tri-pods and three cameras to record all of the action... Here are the results:



Edit: I do not promote the use of tricycle gear and water play, in fact I do not encourage it at all... but it was fun to try and see what I could do for one day!

That was an awesome video and I really liked the variety of shots.

I keep wondering which stunt you will pull next and I am never disappointed.

You are truly the Trike King!

Never seen anything similar to that video, that I recall. Interesting.

Inspect her carefully. There may have been some unusual loading on the nose gear.

Re: trikes love water (multi camera experiment)

Looks like a nice spot to play. At least you were dressed for the swim....... :)

15kt tailwind might do the trick.......

Nice flying.

Re: trikes love water (multi camera experiment)

I watched your video this morning with a few others I'd been saving (couldn't watch on the iphone for some reason).

Very cool!!! You're getting REALLY good in that thing!

John introduced me to bush flying ( don't hold it against him). The first grass strip I landed on with the 8GCBC was with John. He taught me a lot about backcountry in Oregon.

What body of water is that? Cool dudes!

Some of my first Alaska flying was on floats. SOOOOO much fun and SOOOOOO addicting. I'm going to have to get a set one day for sure.

Interesting... I need to check that out this Summer. I'll try to get to Corvallis too, hopefully it will not be 0 miles visibility again!
