Though Graeme has more impressive videos than anyone else I've seen.

In my honest opinion Ive seen many of Regs videos I think he deserves a hole new catagory something to the tune of, Super Rigger in Possession of Nerves of Steel.

But if someone wants to second your motion Im all for it.

I was so impressed with these two and the fact that many others here were also impressed I decided to toss a little webpage up in their honor.

let me know your thoughts... other then I have too much time on my hands

I don't think either of those are in the class with Graeme, he is in his own league. All the thought that had to go into the prep and rigging..

As for the Coates beech vid? I would not call it work-a-day, but I've done it more then a few times. I would not even think of doing what Graeme does, and I really do not care for making those big scarfs while on gaffs any more.

I guess I need to hire a camera crew so I can join the club , The GRCS, a few pulleys and a good ground crew and I am "cool like that". The DZ in the Coates vid was cake.

Ive heard you are one hell of a climber, I think Reg does great work and is an top notch rigger but I wouldnt place anything Ive seen in their category. There are a few of his videos out there with some pretty hairy DZ's. I know placed in that situation many here could handle them but he seems to do it a lot and is quite good at it.

But you know what they say... Talk is cheap go get a camera.

LOL thanks, yeah man that squirrel rocks, I figured he was perfect he climbs trees and he has a huge set.

Yeah, but cameras aren't cheap; since I'm going back to school, it aint happening.

Well as far as climbing goes your rep speaks for it self.

I agree with every thing you said. I didn't think that particular vid was that impressive. I was going by other vids I've seen. I posted those because I knew where they were and showed who I was talking about.

Ha! a lot of that rep is from posting some cool pictures

I've not got rep for a serious post for around a month now

But that's just because everyone expects me to make sense when on the soapbox

sorry should have been more clear, I didnt mean AS rep, I meant things Ive heard from people that have seen you climb. U

Cool. I'd better go talk to my wife for a while, my ego is starting to swell

But, Thank you very much, I do appreciate it.

 

[M.D. Vaden]

It's really nice when people post that good of video quality for a clear picture. Whoever hand-held the camera did pretty good too for not using a tripod.

Wish all Youtube video was that crisp.

I get ill watching some of it, I cannot play FPS style vid-games either.
