I've been getting some emails asking if I'm ever going to post some new videos. Well I don't have an answer for that. But I can tell you I've been busy lately working on my latest project Fast Agility Entry - A new online entry website for dog agility.

The big news is that it is done, ready to go. I'm super happy with how it turned out.

If you are a club or trial secretary who is interested in using Fast Agility Entry, drop me an email. It has lots of great features, one of them being the possibility of setting up direct electronic payments to the club. So the club or trial secretary gets their money as it comes in. Instead of waiting for a check that may never arrive.

I had decided I wasn't going to cover the USDAA Nationals this year. And had even wrote as much over on Agility Video Service. I wasn't even going to go to the event. But after I found out my friend Alicia Nicholas had made both the Steeplechase and Grand Prix Finals with her Border Collie Pickle I decided to go. I made it just in time to catch Steeplechase Finals Saturday night.

On Sunday afternoon I'm sitting in the stands enjoying the Grand Prix and shooting some personal video. When up comes one of the USDAA Board Members. It is kinda of hard to explain, on the one hand he is offering me advice about what I can do with my video, and on the other it had a threatening / intimidating tone to it.

I have finished authoring the Agility Vision Best of FCI 2007 - Hamar, Norway DVD. And I must say after watching it on my HiDef TV it looks awesome!

It includes 175 of the top runs from all the classes and jump heights. In addition you get all 36 Team USA runs and several side by sides I put together.

Check back at this page for whatever results and reports I decide to post, I'm hoping to have time and energy to do a lot of reporting.

Agility Dynamite has turned out better than I imagined it could ever be. Here is an excerpt from an email I just recieved today "And BTW you guys are doing a fantastic job, just love TNT." and another "I really am enjoying Lesson 6, lots of good information!".

To start the new year off and give people out there a chance to see what we are doing. I created a special limited time subscription.

I thought I would announce the winner of the "Upload an agility video contest" for December 2006 just in time for Christmas.

There were many awesome videos uploaded from the UK and others this month. It was hard to choose. The winners are:

To continue my series on camcorders, video, and editing. This time I talk about video editing software, and in particular the free editing program Avid Free DV. It is a scaled down version of Avid Xpress Pro which retails for $1700. Obviously very scaled down. But we are not making a big time movie. 

The winner of the monthly upload your own cool dog and/or agilty related video contest is The Spill
 uploaded by Renee Weider. Congratulations! And thanks to everyone who uploaded a video.
