Many thanks for these. It would be really great to see the rider in the third clip close up. She seems to have been having a wonderful time, and even from a distance she looks like an attractive and confident rider on an enthusiastic mount.
The first two clips began as 8-mm movies I shot at least 20 years ago. I will hunt for the tape cassettes I made from the movies, and post them if I can locate them. There were many good rides, and I think they're fun to watch despite the limited quality of the technology (which involved videotaping movie images projected on a ground-glass screen).

David,
I agree. Doubt this couple knew they were even being videod such that this was without their consent. They may even not know to this day that they were in a video.
To do this without their consent but with their knowledge could be dangerous for the camera operator as we all know.
Yes, it would have been nice if the camera operator had approached and asked permission. A minority of people love to show themselves on video to strangers as youtube shows us.
I do find this ride to be cute and indulging.

David,
Did you know these people you shot in the two videos? Was this part of a production you sold back then? Did they know they were being videod? Where did these chicken fights happen? What year?

Sam, I recorded these (and the others of the same kind) in the 1970s on 8-mm film with a telephoto lens. Most of the people were playing around in the water and not aware that I was filming from the beach. It was as common for people to take pictures or home movies as it is now at rock concerts, and just as it would be hard to get permission from distant riders at rock concerts, it would have meant wading fairly deep into the water, by which time the chicken fights might well be over and my camera would probably have gotten soaked.
The home movies I made were at Coney Island or Brighton Beach in Brooklyn, New York. I have never produced videos or photos for sale.
