💯 The Dude Is Hilarious! 😁

We still love ya, Brother!! haha Don't get down.. I still have mine, but... It's still at some idiot's shop and it still doesn't run. Hopefully we'll find something else to do for a while

Hahahahaha Oh man, That's GREAT! 🤣👍 I hope all's well with you buddy!!

Just looking out for the environment! 🤘🤣

You're a good man . Have you totally given up on FX products ? Haven't seen you on AGN , then again I rarely visit it myself these days . ✌

@@alsson3137 Why thankya' sir! 😁 FX and I have a love/hate type of feeling still.. 5 years after getting the 1st rifle, I still can't get the parts I need for customizing it to the specs that I originally wanted.. Yet they'll pump out model after model to keep their hype train going.. If I didn't invest as much as I have in them, they'd all be gone. Still amazing accuracy though, so I can't complain. AGN - Man, I miss you and the others on there so much! It was my 2nd home.. Between getting burned really badly by a user - through a 'local' trade, and being constantly inundated w/ strangers w/ odd questions, begging me for freebies, etc. I just had to take a break. I'm literally in the middle of moving again, so as soon as things are back to normal, I'll have some real fun info / etc. to share. And I'm sure I'll be back on the site for a cameo appearance. haha [Or just to post most of my pew pew collection] I downsized big time. I hope all's well on your side of the screen, and since I missed ya.. Happy New Year as well! =)

Thank you bro! When I mentioned 'CAD' earlier.. I'd like to design/prototype a few different things for these pistols. The stock, and a different style of grip are the 2 things on my mind. Hopefully I'll figure something out Sooner than later. 👍 Oh! And possibly some thicker adapter collars that we can put on our scopes to make the dia large enough to mount our NV scope cam setups.. That'd rock!

Yes he does

Hey there! Cool, it's nice that this back-stop is making the rounds again, it still works Great! Okay, so.. You've already got the mat - Trimming it to size is the most awkward part.. Use a sharp utility knife to keep scoring the rubber til' it finally hacks through nice n' evenly. Size wise - I went w/ 2x3 ft more so that I could double material up - and have spare.. Frame wise.. Using that trim wood, I simply measured the frame sections so that they would literally border the mat. The mat[s] sit inside of the frame.. Then you'll notice that on the 'back-side', I've added a crossmember.. That: 1 - adds rigidity to the whole thing, and 2 - makes for a spot to add some mounting screws.. Screws - I think I used 1" to secure the frame, and then sunk the same screws into the rubber-mat.. Just enough to keep it in place.. Pause at 0:37 You'll see some screw heads on the back and side.. Same deal, I sunk screws through the outer faces of the top/bottom/sides to sink into the sides of the mat.. In the end.. I'd do things differently for ease of teardown, but, it's lasted all this time - just got Heavy! Hopefully that makes sense.. It really was just a random thing I threw together, but on the next one, I'll be sure to document Everything a bit better so it's easier understood. Promise though - this one's super simple since it's all just using the k.i.s.s. method. haha Good luck, any more questions - ask away, and keep me/us posted on how things turn out! 1 heads up - Just be careful with 'some' projectiles.. I know that BBs will 'bounce back', and over the years had a few other rounds 'deflect' - while 99% of them just sink in and stay put. Sam -

Hey! Thanks for checking out the vid, and sorry about that.. I sorta' skipped over the install as every helmet is different, and these modulars being the biggest pains to do much with.. On mine, since the 'electronics' all connect from the right side - that's where the mic is secured. I used the simple mount w/ some 3M double sided molding tape, an fixed it to where the tip of the mic could then curve around the lower jaw section of the helmet and end directly in front - where you'd speak.. Then the rest of the cable was tucked in between the cheek padding and the shell.. There was a bit of trial/error getting the aux-end of the cable out - as opening/closing would bunch it up.. so.. I just use small pieces of black gaffer's tape to secure that to both the top and bottom sections. In essence creating a "C" path.. Hopefully that makes sense and helps out! Sam -

​ @DirtyDovi Thanks for that quick reply Sam, I figured something like that since your audio sounds so so clean, even at 70mph. Gonna try to position it like that too, basically the same way my Cardo boom mic is installed. Ride safe!

@@thebokehlorian Most welcome, and good deal! Those Cardo systems rock.. I was actually kicking back n' forth whether or not to get one.. At least w/ those, we can use them for a cam as well as listen to tunes, etc. Good luck, and hopefully everything will work as well for you as it did for me! And thank you! You ride safe too! 🤘😎 Sam -

@@DirtyDovi Ty, I will let you know how the new setup worked while commuting at highway speeds and in the city. Cheers! - Sander

Hey Bro! Yeah, the Element is at the Honda Stealership unfortunately.. I'm still out in Clyde though. If/when I'm around again this summer, we'll have to catch up! Lester just got a few more Hondas: 1 for him and another 1 or 2 for hos kids

I saw that, I talk to Lester now and then. Actually met one of his kids when I bought some Hot wheels off of one of them, then found out who they were!

Hey Bro! Thank ya very much! It's been 'payback time' after all these birds kept destroying the window cases on the back of the building[s] haha 👊🙂

I like the way you think! 🤪 Neighbors on both sides have 'stray-cats', and they're constantly out there as well.. Every bird that goes down gets eaten by them.. So.. The plan.. It's very Long-Term.. Keep feeding them as many birds as possible until' they explode. 🤘🤣

Bruce, that is so cool! I'm sure that we know a few of the same people - associated w/ the resort.. It's always great to hear about other people's experiences and memories from there. Agreed.. It is definitely a major buzzkill seeing 'what was' vs. the actual resort in all of it's former glory. The entire place was so amazing back then. Glad you got to make some memories as well!! Sam -

Hi there! Great question, but it's been so long that I honestly can't remember.. I don't think I did have to zoom though, since I was *using my feet to zoom* at the time.. I was super close to the wall as I walked along.. I know Exactly what you mean though as far as regular vignetting, and, using a fisheye with a hood attached as well.. To be honest, I think they did an Amazing Job w/ these lenses, and they Just Work! I absolutely loved that thing, and still kick myself for selling it.. I most definitely plan on getting another one! Just a heads up.. My name is Sam - So I went through the extra to get the SAMyang version. haha [I'm a bit of a Derp] You can find the Exact Same lens branded under: "Rokinon" I believe they offer several different "MM" versions also.. Mine was the 8mm version With Detachable Hood! [There's another version w/ the hood fixed permanently to the lens - No good imo] Then there are a few other copies that offer 12mm, 14mm, etc. But again - IMO - The 8mm was the most Fun. [Just keep in mind the lower the mm the higher the barrel-distortion / 'fisheye effect'] **For kicks.. I purposefully shot a few quick photos and videos w/ a LOT of fisheye, and then ran the files through some 'anti-fisheye-programs'... I was amazed to find that the programs edited the final images/video Very Well, and corrected things to make them appear as if there was no barrel-distortion at all.. Pretty neat - Should you end up wanting to 'adjust' anything like that. 😊👍 Sam -

@@DirtyDovi go for the Rokinon one ! It’s for skateboarding ! Thank you for your help 🙏🏼

@@TheZai1234 Right on, and good deal! I'm actually the original founding member of the Cortland [NY] Skate Park, and helped out with the concrete park in Ithaca [NY] We used to get some really killer footage using wide angle and super-wide angle lenses, and these fisheyes most definitely have those beat! Damn, I really miss those days! BMX/SK8 was what I lived for back then.. Hey, very welcome, best of luck, and have a blast for as long as ya can! 🤘😊 Sam -

Hello Brutha!! Thanks a million, and Stoked that you dug those 'fun-shots'!! haha Those always crack me up, so I hope that others will get a kick out of it also.. Thanks for watching as always, annnnd, as always.. I hope that everything is doing well on your side of the screen!! Talk to ya soon Bro! 👊😎

You're most welcome my friend, and thank you for the kind words! I'm really stoked to hear that the vid was actually of some help to you & others, and that's what it's all about! New Zealand! Awesome! Yeeaarrs ago, I was on a site called ChoppWeb . net and we all built either choppers, bobbers, diggers, caffe' racers, naked-street-bikes, etc.. Long story short, I needed HUGE help with a jackshaft idea that I had for mine.. The ONLY dude that came through was an Awesome Guy named Steve! He was - and maybe still is from Auckland, NZ!! I went to your page to subscribe, and small-world.. You're from the Same Location! haha He co-designed the initial idea, then ran with it, and literally hand [machine] crafted every single aspect of it! Hot-wire-cut the custom splined shafts, gears, body, etc. The thing was/is an absolute work of art! You guys over there Rock!! Great catching up with ya bro, and hey - Best Of Luck On Your Channel Also!! I'll be sure to keep tuned!! 🤘😎 Sam -

That explains a lot.. Maybe that gut wrenching smell wasn't the deer after all.. And the other sounds that I heard.. The faint strums of 'battling-banjos', and there's no way that was just a bird. 🤣

Baguette

Thank'ya Bro! I really Really REALLY needed that! We went out again today [yesterday] for a roughly 2.5 hour long ride, annnd.. Your Comment [The one above] popped up on my phone! - Funny Timing! 🤘😂

That's Excellent to hear! If/When I can help out - It's Always worth it! Most Welcome! And I Seriously think that you'll be linking this version mic leaps and bounds better! Definitely try to remember to pop back in with your thoughts after getting to try it. 🙂👍 Sam -

It is?! I'm red/green color-blind, so I'll just have to take your word for it!! Haha Seriously though, I hear ya.. Especially compared to all those killer desert spots! [Personally, I'd trade in a heartbeat] 🤘

@@DirtyDovi It is very noticeable in California. Everything is just a muted brown. Even the birds are bummed out.

@@clvrswine Yeah bro, I hear you! Speaking of the birds.. Why would there even be any in CA and NY - When they can FLY, and Escape to Anywhere! Stupid Birds! [Maybe it's Avian Stockholm syndrome] lol
