Just messing around with some editing ideas... first real compilation video yet.

This Canadian National Historic Site is not really a “castle” at all. Dundurn Castle was built by Sir Allan Napier MacNab, and completed in 1835 at a cost of $175,000.00. Seventy-two rooms made up its   more...18,000-square-footage (1,700 square metres) and 42 of them are now open to the public after being restored to what they would have been in 1855. Sir John A. MacDonald, first Prime Minister of Canada, and England’s King George VII were among those entertained there.

Some interesting facts from the tour:
-- Dundurn Castle was the first home in the province to have gas lighting and running water. The water was pumped through the house by a young boy who earned $2.00 per month for his service.
-- The “Scullery Maid” was a young girl of 9 or 10. She washed the dishes from the entire household’s seven meals each day. Her wage -- $1.30 per month.
-- Refined sugar was delivered in a solid, paper-wrapped “cone”. It was shaved or chipped off when needed. The cost of a cone of sugar - $75.00. The cost of a new home - $100.00.
-- Sir Allan MacNab was often accused of treating his servants too well. :)

The Victorian Kitchen Garden was a project undertaken by the City of Hamilton as part of the restoration. This formal garden is walled in Scottish fashion, and has a series of walkways and beds full of fruit, flowers, herbs and vegetables that would have been grown during Sir Allan NacNab’s lifetime at Dundurn. The garden is maintained the “old fashioned way” – by hand, and all natural.  less

"The Star Spangled Banner"
Words by Francis Scott Key
Music by John Stafford Smith


"The Star Spangled Banner" is the national   more...anthem of the United States of America. The lyrics are from a poem entitled, "Defense of Fort McHenry", written in 1814 by Francis Scott Key, after he witnessed the September 13th attack by the British Royal Navy on Fort McHenry in Baltimore, Maryland. This War of 1812 bombardment is now known as the Battle of Baltimore (September 12-14, 1814).
Throughout the night of the 13th, the bombing was heavy. At dawn on September 14th, Francis Scott Key saw that the huge American flag, which is now called "The Star Spangled Banner", was still waving at the fort. It inspired him to write the now famous poem.

The flag currently hangs at the Smithsonian's National Museum of American History.

On March 3rd, 1931, by congressional resolution, The "Star Spangled Banner" became the national anthem of the USA.

"The Star Spangled Banner" lyrics:

Oh, say can you see by the dawn's early light
What so proudly we hailed at the twilight's last gleaming?
Whose broad stripes and bright stars thru the perilous fight,
O'er the ramparts we watched were so gallantly streaming?
And the rocket's red glare, the bombs bursting in air,
Gave proof through the night that our flag was still there.
Oh, say does that star-spangled banner yet wave
O'er the land of the free and the home of the brave?

On the shore, dimly seen through the mists of the deep,
Where the foe's haughty host in dread silence reposes,
What is that which the breeze, o'er the towering steep,
As it fitfully blows, half conceals, half discloses?
Now it catches the gleam of the morning's first beam,
In full glory reflected now shines in the stream:
'Tis the star-spangled banner! Oh long may it wave
O'er the land of the free and the home of the brave!

And where is that band who so vauntingly swore
That the havoc of war and the battle's confusion,
A home and a country should leave us no more!
Their blood has washed out their foul footsteps' pollution.
No refuge could save the hireling and slave
From the terror of flight, or the gloom of the grave:
And the star-spangled banner in triumph doth wave
O'er the land of the free and the home of the brave!

Oh! thus be it ever, when freemen shall stand
Between their loved home and the war's desolation!
Blest with victory and peace, may the heav'n rescued land
Praise the Power that hath made and preserved us a nation.
Then conquer we must, when our cause it is just,
And this be our motto: "In God is our trust."
And the star-spangled banner in triumph shall wave
O'er the land of the free and the home of the brave!

A vacation day trip to Montreal, Quebec with stops at the Biodome, Botanical Gardens, and Old Montreal.

Just a new camera mount I am testing... not too impressed. But at least its an easy setup.

On the way to the twisties, we have a strip of road that resembles Isle of Man - Lots of straights with little turns. Real fun.

A new camera angle mixed with some others in the last few weeks. The last clip show the distortion of the camera, after the vibration of the bike rattled the insides loose. Tank cam footage coming for   more...the next 2 weeks, bullet cam is rotten.  less

Last weekend of July in the twisties.

Me and me biker buddies. Just having fun. Passenger camera was interesting...

For Robs Family to see what he is up to. And I finally figured out to add TEXT.

My bud Garry, AKA FullKontact is riding the Green Blurr...

This meal was a little undercooked... but still tasted great... no REAL competition, no one wanted any... I don't think these were Cobras or EVOs...

Thanks to SoCalF4i for the unique camera angle that inspired the Armpit Camera. A guy in a Tank Top gets going a little too fast on me, so I got faster on him...

My riding brother Jose. Forever United.

Thanks to TwinCult.

Its hard to watch 20 mins at a time, so here is a clip from my 20 Mins Of Freedom video. I do not ride like this anymore. =)

The passenger requested this song. I used some more footage from the same day.
