ABC News wants to use one of my youtube videos!

[Stumbles06]

Way to go David, make sure it gets recorded and uploaded somewhere, we wont see it down here in Oz.

:thumbup:

 

[jtarkany]

Very cool :thumbup: Let us know when they are going to air it in SoCal so we can watch and record.

 

[Motogiro]

That is too cool! Congratulations!

 

[jsw4178]

Awesome! :rockon::rockon::rockon:

 

[DefyInertia]

+1 on hoping it's positive!

 

[VEGASRIDER]

So when are you riding down here again? We should organize an "FZ6-Forum ACH run" soon... would you be down for that?

Yes, this is a stretch that I want to put down on my resume. I've done Palomar, Big Bear, Topanga & Malibu. Set one up a major FZ6-Forum meet up down the road, I'll be there. Make sure it's planned well down the road so everybody can make plans.

Wow, you've done all the best except for ACH... and Ojai too (#33 off Ventura)... I shall set something up for this summer...




So Pete from ABC News called me a few minutes ago and will send a courier today to pick up the DVD... I also included all the pics taken that day, as well as a couple of other ACH rides, including one of my crashes caught on video lol... let's see what they use!

He mentioned that the News piece will air in primetime, one of the nights of the NBA finals with the Lakers playing... it will be part of Nightline (whatever that is)... He will call me to confirm the exact date and time, and get me a copy

I cant wait! More soon...

 

[wpgibson]

Nightline sounds like its national exposure, not just the local Cali affiliates.

Maybe use East-coasters will be able to see it too.

I'm hoping for the some of the crash video to make it into the edits.. that was wicked to see when you posted it last year.. or was it the year before?

 

[necrotimus]

see if he will send you a copy of the segment after it airs but as a back up record it too.

 

[rsw81]

That's awesome David... perhaps you have a new career in the making.:thumbup:

See you Sunday for the ride up to Oso's.:rockon:

 

[Wavex]

ok guys, here it is!!!

Just got the following email from ABC News:


Looks like tonight is the night this piece is going to be broadcast.

Nightline is on at 11:35 in LA on channel 7.

Thanks to everyone of you for helping me with this. Your videos are great!

Hope you enjoy the story. And if you want me to burn you a DVD just email me with a mailing address.

I'm going on vacation for two weeks so I probably won't get them out until I return.

Best,
Peter Imber
ABC News



There are 6ppl copied on the email, so it will be interesting to see what other videos made it...

I'll ask Peter for a DVD copy since I have no way to record my tv... then I'll put it on youtube and claim my famousness!!! :rof:

 

[Bates121]

Woot cant wait to catch it tonight:rockon::rockon::rockon::thumbup::thumbup::rockon::thumbup::rockon:

 

[MarinaFazer]

[MyFirstBike]

[AlanB]

Gonna hafta DVR that puppy.

 

[VEGASRIDER]

Okay, I'm hopping on my Fizzer now and heading to LA.

 

[lytehouse]

Well....I just watched NightLine....it really didn't put sportbikes in a favorable light. At one point they refered to riders as "questionable characters" WTH?!?!

Anyway David....I did recognize your video! :cheer:

 

[rsw81]

I got my DVR set for you David, in case you miss it tonight or just want to re-watch it later.:thumbup:

 

[VEGASRIDER]

Okay, I'm turning back now, from all of the dissapointed viewers.

 

[Wolfman]
