• There were many reasons for the change of the site software, the biggest was security. The age of the old software also meant no server updates for certain programs. There are many benefits to the new software, one of the biggest is the mobile functionality. Ill fix up some stuff in the coming days, we'll also try to get some of the old addons back or the data imported back into the site like the garage. To create a thread or to reply with a post is basically the same as it was in the prior software. The default style of the site is light colored, but i temporarily added a darker colored style, to change you can find a link at the bottom of the site.

Might want to check out Can Am Spyder on Facebook

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! :doorag:

Can we see the non-rated version? :roflblack::joke:
 
There are a couple on line that looks like they have a semi professional film crew.

Okay, this has me laughing! :roflblack:

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!

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.

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

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).

:welcome:

I hope your scalp heals quickly. :D 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. :roflblack:

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!

j/k

LOL, can I apply for Huligan status? I wanna be a Huligan!!!! Where's the application? Do I get a shirt with that lol??

Application process:

Show up and participate in 'performance testing'.

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

:agree:

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

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.
