Red Painter visit video

I had to test my new video cam and fool around with various editing softwares. Finally found something and used it to do this little "out of workshop" clip:



Unfortunatly I've screwed up (accidently deleted) the videos from Balkbrug...:(

Article Top Gear Magazine

Hi Sascha

We (Clarke Pulling Team) managed to get Top Gear magazine interested to come to Bettborn and write a good story about our team in September. Here is the link to the web-version, as I think it was something positive for the entire pulling scene.

Lots of people have seen this in the uk, but many overseas will not.

Diesel Power Beurs

After visiting the Red Painter Team, I took my 7 year old nephew Vincent and we both drove to Balkbrug to see the "Diesel Power Beurs". Vincent and I both shot a lot of pictures of the tractors on exhibition there for you to see.

New paint job Red Painter

Red Painter

Been visiting the Red Painter Team this morning. The guys have put a nice paint job on the tractor and are working hard to get it ready for Zwolle.
The engines have all been fitted with new internals and MSD 44s, and three additional spare blocks should be enough to get them through their first season!

New for 2008

I have started a new project for 2008, called "Pullingworld.com video production".

The goal is:
Bring Tractor Pulling videos to the fans in a timely manner and overall (and as usual) free of charge!
I will try what I can to produce free videos on my own. If anybody wants to add videos, too just send me a DVD / Video CD or upload to Google video on your own.
This is a way for promoters to get the word out about their events (how about getting last years pull online?).
Of course money has to be made to justify it, so I am offering advertising space in the videos I'll do.
To get an idea how it will look like, I have already linked three videos that were done in the past:
Click here!

BTW: Will go to the Diesel Power Beurs in Balkbruk tomorrow late afternoon.
CU there!

Upcoming events before new year

For all of you who currently sit at home, bored during the holidays, there is some places to go to in the next few days.
On the 29th of december there is the Diesel Power Beurs at Balkbrug/NL (Diamanthal) from 13.30h to 21.00h and on the 30th December the Basrijs guys have a little Indoor Pull at Etten-Leur/NL, starting from 13.00h to 19.30h.
I might pay a little visit to the Diesel Power Beurs with some of the hot farm guys from this area. Not even 100km and I ain't got nothing to do right now anyways... depends on my health though.
Might give me the chance to give my new video cam a try.
