Ok now that I seem to be caught up:
1. I ask that everyone get off the topic of the driving habits. I was not the only person passing at the dragon (or in the video) and I refuse to be singled out because I'm the only one that had it on film and shared it. We've been through this subject and the admins took care of it. It's done.
2. I ask that you stop the bickering and complaining about the video not being allowed on the site. I understand the admin's reasoning and I will adhere to the rules. If you continue to complain then the admins will shut it down again.
3. Please post your email address and only your email address. Do whatever you must with it, but make sure I could interpret it. Do not PM it to me. If you don't want to post it on the site, make a post asking me to contact you when I'm ready. I don't recommend this because it is more work for me and you lessen your chance of getting the links in a timely manner.
4. Once the videos are out I'll open this thread for discussion, but keep it clean or it will get shut down by the mods. When I say discussion, I'm talking about how the video was done, not what was done in it. This is my first stab at this sort of thing and I enjoyed it. If the response is good, and I have the means to do it, I will make even more and even better videos next year (with safer driving, of course) and put it on a DVD to sell/distribute. I plan to be out on the dragon all day everyday at the '07 MOTD taping the Mini's and let people request to be video taped so that they can be in the video, or request that they have a video of themselves for their collections.
5. Please keep the rest of this thread to emails and discussion on how to distribute the videos if you come up with another way.
6. And most importantly, have fun.

The smarter idea (IMO) would have been to PM Darkness with your email address, so only he could see it.
As for the previous video, I watched it but missed the chance to comment before the thread was locked. All I will say is:
Fantastic editing...
Awesome choice of music (I'm a HUGE NiN fan)...
Shameful driving.
There's absolutely no valid excuse for crossing the double yellow so blatantly, especially on a road such as the Dragon. I fully applaud the decision to ban it here, because condoning this driving behavior puts a bad stigma on NAM, not to mention potential lawsuits from overzealous lawyers down the road if something bad happens at the hands of a NAMmer (darn lawyers!).
Bottom line on the line crossing... if you can't drive the Dragon without crossing the line, you're driving beyond your talent and you need to slow it down. Crossing the line is cheating AND dangerous. The Dragon can still be driven in a VERY sporty manner without crossing the yellow lines ONCE. If someone gets in your way... oh well TOO BAD... be patient and hopefully they'll be polite and move over when they get a chance. You can always turn around at the end and run it again - you'll still end up with plenty of good footage. Or better still, just go on the Dragon super early in the morning when it's near-empty.
So the question may come up... do I want to see the Midnight one for myself? Sure... and I'll PM Darkness with my address, but after this post I won't be surprised if he doesn't send it to me.
