- This is a highlight reel from my trip west in June, roughly 40% of it is previously unused footage and is presented in 8 different stages. Pull up a comfortable chair and enjoy.
Great footage! The fact that 1978-1979 Ford Thunderbird is still running and interstate ready was the highlight of New Orleans!
Thank you!
I noticed that also....thought I was the only 1....always wanted 1 of those, or a Mercury Cougar
The New Orleans segment shows that somebody out there is still driving one of those Malaise Era land yachts. Given that Malaise Era cars were so prone to rust and reliability problems, it's amazing that something from that era still survives.
Spectacular coverage of the states. Thank you
Thank you very much!
Thank you for everything you produce Jim, its a real treat to watch videos like this. Here's to many many many more road trips!!!
+InterstateKyle Thank you Kyle, that is very much appreciated.
+Freewayjim Awesome videos FreewayJim keep it UP! and by the way are u quitting CZcams? becuase if you are I just wanted to say I liked your videos! so yea good job
+Sam Smith Thanks, What gave you the idea I was quitting youtube? far from the truth.
oh. Well I went in ur CZcams channel and ur last video was posted 2 weeks ago. Then I thought freeway Jim was quiting but I guess ur busy so...yea
+Sam Smith That's just the end of the season, thus the title "SEASON FINALE"...I'll have a new video coming this Monday from a day trip I took last October. It takes time and money to go out and film things. I've never posted videos all 52 weeks in a year, let's get real, lol.
This year my health has been pretty bad, been stuck in hospitals and rehabilitation facilities. These videos allowed me to escape from where i am physically at and knowing they come out once a week gave me something to look forward to. Great job in 2015, already looking forward to the 2016 season just a few short months away and back to the greenery right of the Mississippi.
+Edward Kollin Thanks, I appreciate you sharing that with me....still don't know where we are going this summer as of yet.
MASH
This video is a nice surprise. Thought you were done for this season. Thanks for the picker upper !
+Rohan Scott Thanks, I have a few little odds and ends still to come but this is the end of the 2015 trip.
The Texas freeways look so well kept in contrast to my homestate of New Jersey. Loving the Baghdad Cafe track too. Great video!
Thank you very much!
It's better than driving yourself and you can see places I might never actually get to go to.thank you for making such a trip possible.i appreciate all your work in producing this video.you do it exceptionally well
Thank you very much, Michael!
As always a great ride and beautiful video. Thanks so much!
+Levi Foster Thank you for watching.
FWJ does it again. Not just another great video, another culturally significant video.
You timed El Paso perfectly.
+countenanceblog Thank you very much!
Love this video Jim as well as Satch, I love this song!!!
Thank you!
I would pay some decent cash in order to watch this at a movie theater. What a ride.
+InterstateJD Thanks!
+Freewayjim wait, what vehicle do u own.. becuase I'm curious
+Sam Smith It's in the closing credits along with all my other gear.
k
I play these on my big screen TV.
Just incredible! Very nice ride and all- loved the night views and all- and seeing the Stan Musial Bridge at night- legend- wait for it- DARY! Very nice ride! Cannot wait to see what future travels you have and where you end up! I cannot wait for the next season and all! This is one of your opus vids!
+cjs121675 Thank you very much!
you know I got excited when I saw the length... lol....wow at the old Thunderbird at the beginning, only in my state
ayyeee....rappin 4tay .. im still watching this well put together vid 🍸🚬
Lambs love that vintage T-Bird, plenty of room for lambs to fit in it! We think the In-Ko-Pah grade looks like the moon. Not much for us to eat there. We concur with the Seals and Croft song "We Never Pass This Way Again" was completely appropriate for the Nevada area. It may be years before you get back. That decent into Wendover was amazing. Glenwood Canyon never disappoints! My species loves how you showed Topeka Kansas! So much to watch and love! Now you need to film US 15 between Williamsport PA and Corning NY, and stop by the Dunkin Donuts in Wellsboro PA and visit this lamb on the midnight shift. 😉
+Upeedina Lamb LOL, thank you and if I'me ever in your fields I will.
I watched the whole thing and you did so super duper Awsome keep up the good work jim
Thank you very much, James.
I like your varied taste in music. Seals and Crofts...I'm a goner. Hummingbird is my favorite song from that duo. The videos are quite good too. I've relived memories and been inspired to travel because of your videos.
That's awesome, thank you for sharing that.
The video is fantastic, many ways come to mind and brings back memories, thanks for making my mind back to the past, thanks.
+Eduardo Ovalle You are welcome, thanks for watching!
Wow! what an incredible season! Really enjoyed your series of videos. Look forward to the next ones you put up
+Sally Latham Thank you very much!
Great way to end an adventurous season. Great work and keep it up! Can't wait for what you bring next!
+Jonathan Sukhu Thank you very much!
We are just about to head out on our own 10 day road trip adventure out west, thanks for the warm up :) Your videos are awesome, thanks for sharing!
+heids418 Thank you and have a great trip!
Watched this at home in theater style. Magnificent!
+luvcarsgay Cool, thank you!
Great flow! Didn't even think of the time. I liked the subtle annotations and new formats.
+TheSolarcatcher Thank you! I had it non-roadgeek tested before hand and they said pretty much the same thing you did, which is what I was going for.
nice job jim. love the music score. gettimg me psyched for my trip to north ga. great work again jim
+Jeffrey Honafius Thank you very much and safe travels to you!
This is my dream right here. To drive in all the States one day. I will live through you until I can actually live out my dream.
I was 52 when I finally did it (just the 48 contiguous) so I'm betting you have plenty of time to get that done, and it is worth doing.
This music choice had me jamming especially I'll Be Around.
Thank you, glad you liked it.
Incredible! It will be hard to top this season :)
+European Roads Thanks and yes, that thought crossed my mind.
Toi aussi la video n'est pas disponible ?
Sorry but the video is not available in france :(
If yours prévious videos is a very nice as alway :)
sorry for my wrong english.
+onch onch It's only supposed to be blocked in Germany, don't know what to tell you..
+European Roads true, personally I liked 2013 better though
No
A great recap of the season. Loved all of them.
+J Johnson Thank you!
I love how you slowed the speed during Highway Star - awesome effect! What magnificent sights that I might not otherwise see. Thanks Jim!
+John Turner You are very welcome, thanks for watching.
I love your videos, because they show off so much of the American Western landscape, but they make me yearn for it too! Skipping out on the yearly trip with my fiancee to Colorado for a honey moon in Hawaii instead!
+Blitzvogel Mobius Thank you and congratulations.
Beautiful capture of the New Orleans skyline!
Thanks for the effort you put into this. I may never get to ride out west but it was great to see the views.
+Brock Reynolds You are welcome, thanks for watching!
This was the perfect way to wrap up a long Monday, thank you for the great video!
+Mountain West Highways Thanks, glad you enjoyed it.
Wow, I mean Wow, Ultimately awesome! I enjoyed every stage of this video Jim, Once I clicked the (full screen) icon and plugged in my headphones, it was a phenomenal ride. 7000 miles, isn't anything to sneeze at, but you achieved it like a boss! Without sounding corny, you package these videos wonderfully, and your music selection fit each stage of the journey. I would love if you produced more videos like this one, but I know it would be time consuming and strenuous, but man this was very entertaining! (GREAT VIDEO JIM)!!
Thank you so much James, I like to do these longer videos for special occasions (like a season finale for example) which is what keeps them special, and hopefully memorable.
I understand the sentiment, and you make awesome viewing events, because they play longer than the usual 3-to4 minute videos, your work is exceptional and I guess I'm being greedy, so you continue to make your (memorable videos) the way you see fit, I'm loving the experience !!!!
Thanks, some videos deserve that treatment, others, not so much, content helps dictate that, gotta give people a good reason to stay with the video :)
This video certainly provided the attentive attraction to keep me focus in viewing this video, it was difficult to turn away, your precision on judgment is on point! Outstanding video, bottom line, Awesome vid!!!!!!
Many thanks!
I don't think this season can be outdone....I'm spending my entire lunch break watching this video...
+Daytona*Beach Thank you very much!
Thank your for showing your country in this way. Greetings from Spain!
+Daniel Primo Thank you very much!
Thanks for the highlights, JIm. Much more interesting than the Daytona Beach to Annapolis trip I did last weekend, whose only really interesting parts are Jacksonville, Richmond, and the southeast quadrant of the Capitol Beltway. I even took US 301 south back to Richmond to change things up a bit. I really miss the West's interesting roads.
+ca2fla Thanks, yes indeed, the west is hard to beat from a driving standpoint.
Loved the editing, especially near the end! And of course great music choices. Thanks for the ride!
+Rajiblaze Thank you for the comment and for watching!
Great season🙌🏽😍 never realized how dense SF's skyline is! Been a Ride Along fan since 2009! All of my freeway knowledge comes from you Jim! Haha ready to see what you have in store for your fans!
+Jayee E. Thanks for the comment and for riding along all these years, not sure what 2016 will bring yet.
I think it should be in California the speed limit on the bridge its fast when we on the lnterstate and the song is fast
oh yeeeaaaahhhh,thanks for the wonderful video here partner--well done!!!
+James Wormsley Thank you!
Freewayjim anytime
Magnifique ! Wonderful !
+Franck Calzola Thank you!
I miss driving through New Orleans and crossing the CCC bridge
Thank you for giving Topeka it's 2 minutes of time. Sorry about the drive that pulled in front of you at the toll plaza with no blinker. They drive just as crazy down south and out west as we do here in the last part of your video. No blinkers, cutting in front of people, etc.
Now thats a trip ! Very nice, thanks for sharing :)
+Freeway Franks Thank you for watching!
Great stuff! I can't WAIT to see what next season will bring!
Checklist:
-Vodka
-Popcorn
-Water bong
-Scented candles
All ready for another epic Big Jim Production!
+Khu NoPie LOL, Thanks
Hi FreewayJim & family & You Tubers hope Everyone's Safe & fine Always! "i really Enjoy watching & listening to Your Videos there Calming Thanks!!!
All is good, thank you very much for watching!
This is awesome!!!
Thank you!
@@Freewayjim hope you continue to make more ride along videos. Maybe one here in Orlando in the near future
@@AAM2011 Thank you!
Thanks for the highlights. That's a good 10 day trip.
+leroyybrown Thanks for watching
Thanks for a great season, Jim. Here's to another!
+xJC Thank you very much.
Man I wish you could another trip awesome videos
+melvin hamilton Thanks
You should do a tour of the Midwest and northwest. That you way you can get Chicago,the twin cities,the rocky mountains ,seattle and portland. Plus any other intresting points along the way.
30:24 thats a strange bridge. Used to go on it when I was little
Nice stuff, been watching these since 2008
+MuzeTV Thanks for riding along!
I love New Orleans and the way people tawk ova dere !
the power lines around 10:00 are a couple of the phases that carry power to los Angeles from Hoover dam. :)
Absolutely amazing video!
+World Music Central Thank you very much!
OK so this means no more Jim videos? wat I think I'm gonna cry!😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭
+Maria Mendez No, no, no, this was the SEASON finale for 2015....I'm in the midst of a four video mini-series from a daytrip I took last October (new video coming Monday) and I'll have new material after my Summer trip in July (not sure where I'm going yet).
I like that video so much 👍😍🚗
Thank you!
@@Freewayjim you're welcome jim
Awesome brother, awesome!
+lonelyman1967 Thank you!
Fantastic!!
+97a4 Thanks!
Thank you sir! This is awesome!
You should do a street tour of downtown, travel VA 267 west to Dulles airport (that road is similar to GA 400), US 50 from the beltway to over the Chesapeake bay bridge and downtown Annapolis which is a great little city.
Nice! I wish I had the time to drive like you do!
+All Hail Nannerpuss I only take one major trip a year, I just make the most of it.
+Freewayjim yup, I do the same thing. You just come back with hours and hours of footage that lasts awhile.
+Trans Canada Phil Absolutely, a week or two of filming can last a long time.
Bravo!!!
Rappin-4-Tay...yeah!
+PelicanGuy Thank you!
I think I lost my breath in the Glenwood Canyon on I-70 in Colorado.
It's pretty spectacular!
awesome road trip!
excelente,fabuloso,espectacular....todo lo que diga respecto a esta maravilla que compartis con todos nosotros es poco....!!!!!!!!.........1000 puntos....!!!!!!!!
cuando conducis por la interestatal 580,casi no se ve marca de los neumaticos ,se ve muy "limpia"....¿ es una autopista de reciente construccion ? ¿ o la remodelaron recientemente ?
saludos de marcelo,desde rosario,argentina.
+Elton Yon Thank you!
VERY COOL!!!!
At the beginning I thought this was an old video because I saw that old Ford Thunderbird.I guess it was a 72/73 model.My mother had the '72 model.
Best season ever!!😁😁
+rsdaddy141 Thanks, glad you enjoyed it!
Wonderful trip, excellent done, apleasure to watch :)
Thank you very much!
your longest video yet, I'm thinkin! Love it! :)
+tall32guy It is indeed, thank you!
At the beginning of your first clip here, a rare late 70's Thunderchicken is amongst the traffic. I didn't think there were any of that style Thunderchickens left.
BMP
they're left, it's just that most of them are probably in a junkyard someplace and not running. lol
I live in the Midwest.
Wow 30 videos! All put together!
That was immense!!
I like the lit up stars on the underpasses and the big star on the hill there in El Paso. What is that on the road at 19:39?
+Trans Canada Phil Yes, love those...that would be a bag of trash.
Epic season. My faves were Houston, San Francisco, I-15 in Cajon Pass, I-80 in the Wendover Area and especially Glenwood Canyon. Where are you off to next?
+highway2heaven91 Thank you very much, I don't know what/where is next.
Oh my. I can see that map that tells you that this like some kinda start line to the finish line!
Golly me, that Bay Area portion was just so San Francisco-like BECAUSE OF THE SONG CHOICE. Do you have anything else I can follow you on other than Facebook? How do I support your content?
Thank you very much and I greatly appreciate your comments, glad you enjoyed it, no, all I have are this YT channel and the Facebook group.
really really nice !
+nacho8888 Thank you!
How can an expressway be a business route? I thought that business routes are the slower version with the lower speed limits and numerous intersections. The freeway alignment is the mainline route or a bypass route.
This was a really good video
Thank you very much!
I actually have a question, when you were recording what settings were you using? like frames per second and stuff like that. I'm guessing 30 because of the hard drive in the equipment thing.
Thank you!
We use 60 Frames per second at 1080p, basically, the maxed out, highest quality settings the camera can do.
Bravo!
+mdavid1955 Thanks
Just fantastic. Thank you for this, and all the others.
What a mind-blowing thing it is to get an idea of what an incredible system of roads we have!
Did you do any "touristing", or just the road?
And... what was that at 10 minutes in? :)
+ejud2001 Thanks! We did catch a concert in LA and maybe a little bit of touristy things but mostly it was about the roads. At 10:00 is a truck on fire, you can see a little more of it near the end in video 15-17. czcams.com/video/LilrTjjIGJ4/video.html
+Freewayjim Well! That is some dedicated road work! I appreciate it. :)
it's funny, I'm pretty sure that, in stage 7, when you crossed into Missouri, you probably drove through where my father's livingroom used to be
Wow you covered a lot of real estate.
Ten days Jim? It felt like you spent 10 weeks doing this. No matter what I still enjoyed the ride! Now how can you top this one! I know you'll think of something!
+BDavinci06 LOL, Thanks, the 10 days sure flew by pretty fast while I was out there.
I've watched every single video you uploaded and I liked the music and the video! Nice job! And I love this video too! Did you have a idea of what it's like to give out the whole video and put it into separate parts and to just sit back and relax? This kind of reminds me of one of my videos but faster! Nice job. Have a blessed day Freewayjim
+Justin Hundley Thank you Justin, glad you enjoyed it.
7,150 miles, wow! that like driving 23 times the full length of Israel.
+IsraelRoads My 2013 trip was 7,800 miles.
AWESOMENESSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS is all I can say!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Great season finale, it's up there with your best!! :)
+Nash wayz Thank you Nash, glad you enjoyed it.
That stack interchange of I-580/CA-24...
Ever plan on coming here to Minnesota & heading to the Pacific Northwest?
+ThomasRosieFan2 I would like to some day.

Just curious about something. Do you travel a lot for your job or something that sees you traveling a lot for work? Or is it vacation, family or a combination of everything involved.
+Tanner Wilson These videos are mostly shot on vacations, I take one major trip a year and maybe a weekend or daytrip otherwise, it's basically a hobby.
Good work Jim always great soundtrack
