The following (combined) 2 videos I shot on August 1st, 2003 as a passenger on my very first speeder trip.

This video begins as the speeders descend downhill paralleling the Salmonberry River.  This river later in 2006 would remove a combined length of approximately one mile of rail and damage several bridges after a major washout following torrential rains.  The group later arrives at Wheeler or another break then depart.  While riding with Terry Borden, the speeder in front of us stalled and required us to push it...however after moving and popping the clutch, the engine started and it proceeded on its way unassisted.

We then arrive at Garibaldi where we tied up for the night and prepared for the next days run to the Tillamook Blimp Hangar.

Dedicating this video to Ziggy, a good speeder friend who is sadly no longer with us.

I have re-uploaded this video providing higher quality and added a deshaking technique to stabilize the video.  The combined details and comments of videos 3+4 are below.
