    The team from Shadow Video were superb! Autobahn was made even more special with the added bonus of being filmed by riders that could hold their own in the AMA. Yes they are from Wisconsin and they are a little nutty, but they are true professionals.

    They filmed Audrey and myself, and it was made even cooler when they diced in and out with us, giving a true prospective of what we experience on the track. My wife said I was definetely crazy, giving me more confection that this is a neat sport.

    If you are in Advanced through Novice this tool is highly recommended. You will not be dissappointed in what you see (maybe how much more lean angle you can achieve), and it will assist in getting more experience from track days. A+ for preofessionalism and cool factor.

    Thanks guys

    Thanks for the kind words John!! I agree. Video is a great tool for all skill levels.

    Your video is currently being produced and should be out in the next day or two.

    Thank you so much John!!It was really fun,I actually asked Doug for a copy since it was so fun watching it the monitor.I hope Audrey has a different opinion about her form now that she's seen that it is actually really good!!By the way,Doug is trying to send final produced copy's out(you'll be really amazed)and need's to get a hold of you re:your address,he can't read one of the number's or something.At any rate,we are SO looking forward to the rest of the season,you guy's are very professional and alot of fun too.Will you guy's be at ACC South on the 27th???Ciao for now John!!

    I was hanging with the Shadow crew out at Mid O at the end of April and noticed that every rider that came in after their video session immediately wanted to review the video. I’m guessing so that they could use what they would learn from it for the following sessions. In one instance there was a piggy-backer looking over everyone’s shoulders who was hoping to get a glimpse of himself on someone else’s vid. :shock: Some of responses to the vids were, “Ohhhh, now I get it!†or “I could definitely go through that section better†etc... you get the point. I think this is one of those things where (in addition to the excellent instruction that STT offers for all skill levels) a visual aid can really help a rider understand what he/she is doing right and/or wrong. This guides the rider to make the necessary adjustments the next time out for an overall improvement in riding ability and track knowledge. And as John said, the coolness factor is there because not only can you tell your friends/family about your addiction, but you can show them.

    Greetings; Receiving Video

    I just sent you the new address.

    However, Audrey loves hers, especially the added features. I hope you will be at Autobahn Saturday and Sunday. The special events that weekend should be awesome. Nick has all the details.

    Much appreciation, John

    Got it!

    Great quality! Wow what a superb tool.

    Thank goodness my ego can handle being passed. However, I still dont like it. I guess there is always someone faster.

    I understand Greg loves the south track. I look forward to learning from him Memorial Day.

    Let Joe know the race car is at my house in Chicago, in case he wants to use it at Autobahn with his friend. Its fun and a different kind of rush.

    Take care, John

    Good....now there's nothing wrong with a service that burn's em' at the track,and give's them to you there,but do you see the difference in our product?Also,do you think our product is worth a little more?Please let us know,we care.

    Additional $$$

    John:

    I do not know the amounts charged by others, however I would charge what the market will bare.

    In my opnion, you still are gathering the flock, building the value as a learning tool, and gaining efficeincy for yourselves for it to become a win win for all.

    Its been great for me. I hope this assists, JB

    Correct,it is mainly for a visual tool to take illussion's or dis-allusion's out of what we're doing out there..full stop.I'm a pervious customer and I'll be honest,I loved the final product once it was produced and edited(especially whan I showed it to my girlfriend!!)It's going to be alot of fun,this year,looking forward to meeting and connecting with like minded people like you guy's...it's been alot of fun already.I'm glad Audrey like's her's...see you at ACC south.

    John B: I am very happy that you are enjoying your video. I had a great time watching your vid and the others at Autobahn. I have never been there before. It looks like a great venue. I will be prepared to ride the track by watching your videos if I make the trip out there at some point. I look forward to hopefully making more videos for you in the future.

    Lance: Welcome aboard as you already know.

    John/Joe/Gregs: Keep up the good work my friend.
    John: The exhaust sound on your bike is great!!
