Looks like a nice piece of road. I've been thinking about finding some roads out that way as I seem to be spending more and more time there these days.
Maybe I should do some reconnaissance to see if there's anything useful - hmmm.....

Very nice work. Looks like an excellent road. Would love to try it out sometime. Reminds me a lot of Ortega Hwy. Kudos on the vid/editing as well. Can't believe it was ALL iPhone 4!
Drop some of us a line if you want company next time!

Can't believe it was all done on an iPhone4 too. Pretty good video editing skills. I almost felt like I was playing Gran Turismo 5 or Need for Speed 3. I think it was the cool soundtrack. =) You should make a video for the next AZ run. How'd you mount your camera?

Thanks for the feedback! Im now only getting the hang of videography - iphone4 and iMovie makes it easy and possible =) Music was downloaded from Audi.com way back (title of the music is 'Kampf" )
The Iphone4 was mounted on Tomtom car kit

The iPhone4 must have killer battery life as composed to my 3G. Makes me want one even more. Dig the mount/set-up.

The back roads in and around the area are pretty good, although most are straightaways. The road to Ojai and Los padres are nice too, but maybe a distance for some.
