• After witnessing the continued decrease of involvement in the SpotterNetwork staff in serving SN members with troubleshooting issues recently, I have unilaterally decided to terminate the relationship between SpotterNetwork's support and Stormtrack. I have witnessed multiple users unable to receive support weeks after initiating help threads on the forum. I find this lack of response from SpotterNetwork officials disappointing and a failure to hold up their end of the agreement that was made years ago, before I took over management of this site. In my opinion, having Stormtrack users sit and wait for so long to receive help on SpotterNetwork issues on the Stormtrack forums reflects poorly not only on SpotterNetwork, but on Stormtrack and (by association) me as well. Since the issue has not been satisfactorily addressed, I no longer wish for the Stormtrack forum to be associated with SpotterNetwork.

    I apologize to those who continue to have issues with the service and continue to see their issues left unaddressed. Please understand that the connection between ST and SN was put in place long before I had any say over it. But now that I am the "captain of this ship," it is within my right (nay, duty) to make adjustments as I see necessary. Ending this relationship is such an adjustment.

    For those who continue to need help, I recommend navigating a web browswer to SpotterNetwork's About page, and seeking the individuals listed on that page for all further inquiries about SpotterNetwork.

    From this moment forward, the SpotterNetwork sub-forum has been hidden/deleted and there will be no assurance that any SpotterNetwork issues brought up in any of Stormtrack's other sub-forums will be addressed. Do not rely on Stormtrack for help with SpotterNetwork issues.

    Sincerely, Jeff D.

I have many many more videos to dissect and edit and convert that I will be 40 before I have a chance to finish everything I want to do. This is just a few I have done so far. Hope you enjoy! Visit my blog and my youtube for more videos and write ups! Thanks!

lol I love the video camera in the Pratt video. I think my father paid $500+ for a similar one in the early 1990s.

He had me look it up on eBay a few years ago; going for $20.
 
lol that was my "test" camera. I was horrible at shooting video because I just let it dangle everywhere didn't really pay attention to what I was doing. So after a few horrible end products my dad bought one for the official chase (which he used until I could learn how to not take continuous footage of the grass or everything BUT I wanted too) The footage you see in that video of me holding that camera, would probably get you sea-sick lol.
