Both mountain and road biking. A lot of good riding here in Southern California.

Do you take the hybrid on dirt trails?

tornadoes- I've got a hybrid Trek 7.3 FX. You're a mountain biker right?

Was this a mountain bike ride? What kind of bike do you have?

It was good fun- though slogging up the mountain with bikes was exhausting.

As for ghost ride- great idea, though they probably wouldn’t let me film it. I’ll have to take you to one of the Japan ruins sites I’ve found and we’ll camp overnight there. That’ll be better than a ghost ride for spookiness!

That looked like fun. It makes me want to pay you another visit and maybe we could do a rerun of that terifying ghost ride for your film!!! xx

The singing I did was serious and the location and place were appropriate. It just came out naturally. We had been coming round a mountain for awhile.

I didn’t need to see that stuff on video because I was there while most of it was being filmed, so I already heard it all. I did watch most of the finished video, mostly just skipping the scary in tent talking….

Mike was late to meet me for our ride…now I know why.

His editing skills have improved….now about that talking directly into the camera stuff…….

Mike- I was pretty surprised that Jason sang like that- I expected instead a look of distaste as he went by- he wasn’t keen on all the filming I did. Once he sang that though- I had to use it.

I shot it all myself- some with the help of a gorilla pod. Making new angles and shot positions was great fun, and splicing it together took hours yeah.

Jason has seen it- I think he enjoyed it.

Hey mom, thanks- I don’t know why I started singing Rawhide- it just came to me. Then of course I had to use the actual music. Looking like Uncle Bobby- and now my hair is really starting to thin out too! Arrgh!

Glad you are really getting on and seeing Japan.
Have you sent this to the American cousins? You are the dead ringer for Uncle Bobby as you were getting out of bed!!! At similar ages I mean.

You got Jason to sing on video!! Did you trick him into it?

Have to admit Mike, that was pretty damn funny! Good bit of filming there. Bit with you waking up in the morning, doing the running commentary, the fast forwarding, the slow motion, etc. Nice. Did Jason help film any of that or did you do it all yourself? Must’ve taken hours and hours to splice it all together.

Is this another video that Jason refuses to watch?
