I'm sure it's a nice way to get additional exposure the HG. But, god, can you imagine having those two guys hanging around you launch/LZ all the time? punch

And we thought Noman was annoying! ahh Laughing

roflcat These guys get so many hits on their videos and clicks on the ads that they net well over $100,000/year from YouTube. We're talking well over 10,000,000 hits per year in total and their subscriber base is mainly children. As much as I find them extremely annoying they really have tremendous fan appeal. The audience they're hitting is the demographic for the future of our sport. A much poorer quality vignette appeared in the middle of one of their regular episodes a month ago. I have to assume that Joe Greblo nudged them to do a more professional edit of only the vignette to help reach out more effectively. This was much better than the nonsense they'd originally posted in the middle of a longer episode of 'stuff'.

That was a well put together vid. Had everything from hang waiting to the elation of flight to the drag of having to come back down. Thought I saw an "O" face in there too. Laughing

Everything is illegal in California. Broke the law five times just riding up to launch. No seatbelt×5 people.

Selling venison is now illegal in California. You have to smuggle it in from Nevada.

On the other hand pot is legal in CA.

You can call them introductory instructional lessons if you wish.
I'll keep calling them rides if you dont mind.

I liked it. Great editing and like NME says the fan appeal they conjur up is good publicity for our sport. For the younger crowd they don't seem to be horribly annoying at least not for me, there are far worse annoying people out there that should be banned from getting in front of a camera. Lol
