@kstateskier this lake is Vancouver Washington, just across the river from Portland, Oregon.
@fu_man If you bring the 20 something girls I will be happy to record that too.
@kfennell I agree with you that the DJI Phantom 2 is the best way to get started with this crazy world of Aerial Video work. As you well know there is so much more to this gig. Everyone seems to thinks that it is super easy, well let's just say this is not easy by any means. the first thing you need to do is learn to fly that thing. It is not quite as simple as buying the right rig and amazingly you have great videos. It takes time to figure out how to fly first then you can start to figure out how to make a good video. for anyone that wants to get involved I would suggest starting with a DJI Phantom then wait to mount a camera to after you have leaned how to fly it.
This video was shot entirely with a DJI Phantom and a 3 axis gimbal that is new for DJI with in the last couple of weeks. the costs are about $1200.00 for all the copter stuff then you have the GoPro, video editing software, extra parts, replacement parts after you crash and all the other sundries.
Rigs like @kfennell supplies are a bit more, but as professionalism increases so does costs.
A slightly extended version of this video has been uploaded with just a few extra scenes. Remember that a Big Dawg stop is scheduled for July at this site as well.
@Wish Here is a web page that has links to many royalty free music sites that you can get many choices of music from. Some charge for licenses and some are free.

I know there are several skiers that are missing the summer. Here are a few shots I had taken over the summer but had not ever gotten them into any video.
@mwetskier Wouldn't that be nice and I agree. Well actually Goode really owns the clips since they paid me to do the video for them. Perhaps since Nick Parsons is a CP team skier he may have allowed them to use the clips.
I am pretty sure that this is not a Official company released video considering it is about 50% Shots that I had taken last May when I did the Goode Nano One and XT video's.
In some additional posts on Facebook link it stated that they were going to an all Ford based lineup for all their engine packages. Said they will still stand behind all current GM Packages but moving to Ford.
@Mark Petrie Hereare a couple of links that will help you.
