Might want to check out Can Am Spyder on Facebook

I want to see the video of you sitting outside McDonalds in the cold.

LOL...no you don't! I was up against the window because I was worried after almost three hours of load time and 98% complete that I would lose signal.

We all showed you ours, so it is only right for you to show us yours.

[G-Man]

I still find it weird to talk about myself for 5 minutes to a camera. Good luck to all the spyderlovers that applied.

You were fantastic Seth!! I was on the edge of my seat throughout the entire video. You must have rehearsed. The discipline was evident in the fact that you were able to speak for an entire five minutes and 38 seconds without dropping the "F-Bomb"!!

You should receive at least an honorable mention for that alone!

Good Luck to all that have made the commitment to Can-am Ambassador contest. There are some really good videos....crossing my fingers hoping someone or someones from Spyderlovers wins.

Can we see the non-rated version?

[Fireball22]

There are a couple on line that looks like they have a semi professional film crew.

Okay, this has me laughing!

I'm Don Falloon, the guy in the video you highlighted. It was shot by my best bud Don Hartwick who recorded this using a single 7.2 mp Sony still camera with a movie function. He used Windows Movie Maker (which he tells me was bundled with his computer when he bought it) to edit and complete the project. I did the scripting (as I should as the applicant) and we co-directed the shoot.

His "Hart Media Group" logo is somewhat of an inside joke since he is a BIG TIME Hot Wheels fanatic and shoots hundreds of pictures of his collection (which I also understand numbers around 5000).

"Professional" would have at least required a wireless mike and avoiding the 20 mph winds and the hellacious sunburn I got on my scalp.

Best of luck, all! Ride safe!

Isn't that the whole point. If I was a judge I want a real person to be the ambassador. They can hire models and actors for events but the ambassadors have to be genuine. I can use google to see photos of Sturgis but where would I see someone on a Spyder freezing outside Burger King.

my buddy does have a "outtakes" version, what I mean is talking about all the ideas we had and setup, then the general seth antics, it was more high schoolesk then professional outtakes..

LOL! Sorry missed the comment. Here it is....don't laugh!!!!! Had I known there was more time it would have been worked on some more but I had to go with what I had as I got it posted last minute due to wireless issues (or at least I thought it was posted last minute).

Very nice
Are you applying for the Huligan status as well?

I hope your scalp heals quickly. If you happen to win are you going to be a regular visitor/contributor here?

You did a great job on your video. Thanks for sharing it.

Of course, all of my really creative ideas began flooding my brain shortly after I completed submitting my application.

You can bet on it. Okay, so there is that little issue of winning... unless the fates shine upon me it'll be a while before I can afford to upgrade to a Spyder on my own. I find that Spyder Ryders are some very awesome people and hope to be able to join their ranks soon!

Here is my essay. Read it to the tune of Janis Joplin's "Mercedes Benz".

Oh Lord, won't you buy me a Can-Am Spyder ?
My friends all ride Harleys, I must make amends.
Worked hard all my lifetime, no help from my friends,
So Lord, won't you buy me a Can-Am Spyder ?

Oh Lord, won't you buy me an I-Phone 4G ?
B-R-P is trying to find me.
I wait for delivery each day until three,
So oh Lord, won't you buy me an I-Phone 4G ?

Oh Lord, won't you buy me a trip to LA ?
I'm counting on you, Lord, please don't let me down.
Prove that you love me and book the next flight,
Oh Lord, won't you buy me a trip to LA ?

Everybody!

Oh Lord, won't you buy me a Can-Am Spyder ?
My friends all ride Harleys, I must make amends,
Worked hard all my lifetime, no help from my friends,
So oh Lord, won't you buy me a Can-Am Spyder ?

That's it!

Application process:

Show up and participate in 'performance testing'.

Simple as that - and yes there are various shirts floating around.....

I found 25 newer videos public videos on YouTube labeled "Spyder Ambassador". Others could be set to "link only" or not labeled that specific, but I would have thought there would have been more.

This site really has some of the best Spyder Ryders out there on it that's for sure.

I found 25 newer videos public videos on YouTube labeled "Spyder Ambassador". Others could be set to "link only" or not labeled that specific, but I would have thought there would have been more.

I am sure there has to be more than that. A good chance that many of the entries did not use "Spyder Ambassador" in that exact order anywhere in their title or description.

It is almost all over but the waiting for the winners to be announced now.

Not everyone who has posted a video has done it under "Spyder Ambassador." You might look under "Spyder Contest" and other derivations.

BTW, I take your reference to my entry and questioning whether I used a semi-professional film crew to be a compliment considering such was not nearly the case. On the other hand, I have worked with professional video teams before: http://youtu.be/I9z5NVWZ5MQ

I would definitely take it as a compliment, as I am sure that is how he meant it to be.

By the way, I just received a confirmation email that my entry has been accepted. They are hoping to have the winners selected by April 16. Best of luck everyone.

I have so enjoyed all of the videos, and do wish everyone the best of luck. The original ambassadors had no previous Spyder experience and I think they did a magnificent job. So I am open to non spyderlovers becoming an ambassador and then also becoming a spyderlover member. If that weren't possible then our family would not grow.


And I have also loved the videos presented by the members here too. I don't know if there is a limit on the # they can have, I think they should have as many as they think would convey a positive image.

The whole idea is to get a great communicator who can convey the message that BRP is trying to get across. If someone has film/editing or skills in public speaking it will make the experience for others that don't know or are on the fence about the purchase of a spyder that much more effective. Gosh this has got to be exciting. It seems all the entrants have motorcycle experience, but I don't think that should be a criteria either. rather someone who want to take on a big adventure!

I also searched Spyder, Can-Am, and Ambassador individually.

Yes, it was meant as a compliment.
