What the SLUK are you after?
- Our aim is to encourage the SLUK community to start making entertaining and informative videos that we can share with other scooterists.
- We want to see exciting riding footage in spectacular locations.
- Make a video to promote your event. Show how much fun the last one was!
- If you can make a truly funny video involving scooters and scooterists then youβll stand a good chance.
- Make a video to show off your custom scooter or technical tips.
- You can repackage an old video to suit the competition but we prefer original, unseen footage.
How do I do it?
- Itβs possible to make an entertaining short video with a good quality mobile phone. It just takes a little thought.
- You can edit your clips in free software packages such as Windows Movie Maker, iMovie or even via mobile apps.
- Paid editing programs like Wondershare Filmora or Cyberlink Powerdirector offer more versatility but content is more important than editing.
Issues with music
Use of copyright music on your videos can cause problems. When you upload to YouTube the service automatically scans your video for known tracks.
Β
- If YouTube detects a copyright track it may block playing of your video on certain devices and in certain countries. If this happens then it is best to replace the soundtrack with something else. We need competition entries to play on every device.
- YouTube provides a link to free and ad-supported music here.
- If the copyright owner has licensed the track for use on YouTube then they can monetise your video by running ads on it in desktop format.
- If you donβt want ads to run on the video then it is best to either use original music with permission (maybe a local band), or to hunt out music with a Creative Commons licence. This allows you non-commercial use of a track as long as you credit the artist in the video notes.
Small print

Another entry from across the Irish sea.
The Ulster Lambretta Club’s 9 counties ride, a blend of twisty roads, amazing scenery, drink, fantastic company, laid back atmosphere and dressing up in military headgear from around the world. A longer video is in production, once I get around to it.
Thanks for the stickers by the way Iggy.
Here’s mine filmed last summer https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3fK3_Ccn7m0 Whilst doing the 6 passes in Lake District my fellow scooterist friend nearly came a cropper….twice….the little victory fist thump is a nice touch if a wee bit premature.
Here is my entry.

Thanks john, any info to go with the video?
This trip to our “local” well know mountain call Trollstigen (try to googel it), was a test drive to see how the new Parmakit tuned 177 engine did perform before take off to the VWD 2014 (Which you see several videos from here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XjTmk_WX3co )
I have buildt a new 221 engine for this years VWD in St.Tropez. Did finished last night, so to day I was hoping to road test it.

Cheers for that, hope you got out alive…
I’m back with my contribution for july.
This time it’s a short clip from my journey to Vespa World Days 2014 in Mantova.
The trip from Molde to Oslo went without any trouble, but when we left Kiel in Germany the problems started.
My freinds PX 125 with a DR 177 kit on, started to pinch and we had to stop and check it out.
The problem was fixed by upjetting to bigger main jet. It went flawlessly the rest of the trip π

Well I have not given up the chance to win the Prism camera, so here is my august contribution.
This is from our trip to VWD 2014, from the Brenner pass to the Garda lake. We was so hot, and desided to take a cooling dip in the lake.
There was some waves comeing, and caugth us by surprise so we both become wet on our pants π
