100ft Beech trees speedlined

Or did you edit out all the dodgy bits:001_tt2:

 

Given it was several days work, and the vid is less than 10mins long, I'm guessing Steve only used the highlights:sneaky2:

Silly me, why didn't I think of that. I thought it was good going for 10 mins work.

as if

 

yes not every bit went smoothly obviously. i did include one of the gaffs in the original edit, but the video came in at 12 minutes and had to reduce it to come within youtubes 10 minute time frame. doesnt make for interesting viewing watching me faffing about trying to get limbs unstuck either:biggrin:

Glad you took my comment in the way it was intended mate:thumbup1:

 

Thought it was a really good vid. How far away from the leccy wires was your speedline? In some shots it looks miles away, in others a lot closer.

the closest it got to the lines tensioned was probably 2ft....but obviously as soon as the weight was on the line it was well clear......had to get as close as possible otherwise the stuff would have just ended up in the drink

there was some footage of the boat in action but it was pretty crap......

 

one of the guys fell in too....i heard a bang, looked down and he was in up to his chest....nice stagnant water.....i laughed like hell! unfortunately no footage. colin went home and got changed, and also had a glass of whisky to get the taste out...swallowed a mouth full of the moat when he went in lol

There's no point telling us funny stories of people falling in. Thats what your head cam is for. Forget the tree work and posh rigging. Film people falling in the water next time.
