Video: Baja Trippin' II: Desert Rat

Like most sequals that try to cash in on the popularity of the original, this one has a different star, was quickly thrown together, fell short of the original plan, and lacks the content of the first.

At any rate I was having a lot of fun playing with my baja Beetle, so I stuck the camera on the ground, and just kept hitting the button, didn't know any of it would come out, but I got a few decent scenes, so here it is:

No not really any at all. This was hard packed clay. I brushed it off with a a large paintbrush. Then sprayed it down. So there was no loose dirt. It hardly even got the tires dirty. I do need to clean out the gears now though.

That was awesome... perfect soundtrack. The slow motion shots look great, everything looks a little more to scale when slowed down a bit. Nice vid, Dave.

Thanks Hue, I spend a lot of time going through tons of songs trying to find the right one for the video. After all that, I picked this one just for the title.

I love the slow-mo shots. If I had my way, I'd do the whole vid in slow motion, but I figure people want to see what the car actually does in realtime, so...

Thanks Sezziz.

Thanks Cabo. It is the perfect little spot. It's in a corner way in the back, behind the building, so I thought no one would be around, but as you can see there was quite a few cars driving by. A few stopping to stare.

Thanks, I thought you'd like it.

One of these days, I'm gonna hook a car up with your suspension.

Nice Vid Dave, but im curious to know why you didnt make another dirt track, like that with the truck? That was an awesome track!

Thanks. I did make a track. It's just kinda hard to see the layout in the vid, because of the angle, and because I was playing on a harder, flatter surface.

I like this dirt track better than my original because I could actually make laps without stopping to save my car.
