Driving and the Xtreme Cycle Moto-Cam Preview

Send off to Deb
Photo-A-Day #4154

We do a sendoff to my supervisor tonight at work. Her name is Deb and our manager brought in Little Debbie snacks for the party. First dad joke that hit all year.

I’ve been trying to get good video for the Xtreme Cycle Moto-Cam. I took it with me yesterday to shoot footage before work. Then this morning I took it back to the skate park a second time to get footage from the Moto-Cam itself. However, I am having trouble with the cycle. It is not recording as I expect and I can’t get the files to use on my computer. They are ending up being unreadable. I’m getting a lot better at driving the cycle but I have crashed it many times and sometimes from great heights. The handlebars are busted, but it still can drive. The gyro is making a god-awful noise, but it still drives. The camera does record and I can see the videos through an app called VLC on my phone, but not my computer.

I ran into a guy at the Skate Park. He watches Youtube videos all the time. Mostly Video games and toy reviews, so I think he found my vlog today and left me a comment. I offered to let him drive the Xtreme Cycle but he didn’t want to, he’d rather watch.

The Xtreme Cycle is overall pretty good, there are some flaws to it but it does do some cool things. I’m beating the heck out of it as I try and get some good footage. There is some footage in today’s video. I edited this very quickly and very sloppily. Sorry about that. Next one will be better.

I have, once again, found myself behind with my unboxing and review videos. There are a few that I just can’t get motivated to do even though they may be a lot of fun. There are some that I’m wondering, how will we video that and yet others here I wonder, how will we do that one at all.

At the same time I have 6 new video games and a new video game system to play. I haven’t played many video games in months. Pretty much when I started getting serious about making videos on a daily basis I ended up having less time to sit and play video games while we watched TV at night. That may change because it is gearing up to be video game season and I’m going to get working on more video reviews of games and game pieces. I should start receiving Skylanders and LEGO dimensions toys soon so I’m going to talk about them on video. I may even make more than one video each day, a vlog and a toy review in order to catch up.

It is going to be tougher with school starting, my time with Eva is going to be more limited and she won’t be able to help with as many videos. Well, here is what I’ve got outstanding right now.
