8. Land Sailing El Mirage CA
2 years ago
This footage is at El Mirage dry lake in very high winds at 50-70 MPH filmed from a Toyota CJ-7 4 wheel drive truck. The wind was ripping that day so hard that when one of the pilots took of his glove to shake my hand, the glove blew away far away. I chased the glove down after a few minutes but finding my way back to the truck was now a challenge, visibility was about 5 feet. Lucky fore me Ross was honking his horn so I found them. This was very fun to shoot and am looking to do it again with a better camera and some sand protection. The camera was a panasonic Hd ish camera (HDC 100). Kind of expendable light and good for getting dusty and thrashing. Yes the camera was thrashed but we cleaned it up pretty good.

By the way the real talent in filming this is the driver Ross. Also this would not be possible with out David Bone spotting at 70 miles an hour in high wind focusing on the sail we really needed a spotter to keep us from having a collision with other vehicles, sails quads, dirtbikes. Safety is really so important in an environment like this.

very cool video, really like the editing, the music is very fitting to it :)
REGARDS FOR THE RIDERS!!!!! from Ireland
Wikipedia says "The (Bernouilli) principle also makes it possible for sail-powered craft to travel faster than the wind that propels them (if friction can be sufficiently reduced). If the wind passing in front of the sail is fast enough to experience a significant reduction in pressure, the sail is pulled forward, in addition to being pushed from behind. Although boats in water must contend with the friction of the water along the hull, ice sailing and land sailing vehicles can travel faster than the wind"
Cool video
