First, I'd like to thank everyone for their efforts and contributing to this post. As usual, everyone has done a phenomenal job covering this event and I look forward to seeing more. With that being said, there is one curiosity that has been in the back of my mind for years now regarding this and other similar events. I'd like to get a few opinions if possible from the users here and the professional members who have covered this parade and other similar events. I've often wondered why there doesn't seem to be any high quality video that focuses primarily on the female riders in much the same way the photographs do on this forum? There seems to be an enormous and dream-like opportunity for capturing great moments during both the ride and in miscellaneous or pre-ride or post ride settings. I've noticed that there are indeed an overwhelming number of people with high quality video camera equipment in attendance and are capable of capturing high quality video. It just seems odd that none of the footage ever occasionally surfaces on this board or to the internet in general at least to my knowledge.
The are tons of videos on the mainstream video sharing websites such as YouTube, but they are mostly strategically edited or posted in a way that doesn't show any tangible or prolonged female nudity in public situations. In my opinion ,most of the videos that make it to the internet and do contain nudity are often shot from a seemingly female or seemingly gay male perspective focusing heavily on the male riders and male nudity. Can someone explain to me the subculture and psychology of covering this or similar events and mindset regarding not posting video footage if you've noticed a similar pattern? It has become very frustrating to continuously comb through video after video only to discover the obvious nudity omissions and not so clever transitional video edits. Am I missing something here guys or is there another outlet for uncensored video material or event coverage that I am simply unaware of regarding this? There must be thousands of quality videos out there somewhere and the people filming are either refusing to share the footage for whatever reasons or have decided to keep the best stuff for themselves. At any rate, it all seems very hypocritical especially when this is an EXTREMElY PUBLIC event (a parade) with an "after party" in a public park. There are over one hundred thousand people in attendance and countless pictures available online which makes the lack of quality videos all the more baffling.

Valid points you make..maybe something for vrod or the other naked mile videograhper here who's username escapes me at the moment.
Youtube wouldn't be the place for such vids. Too much time and production value required. Generally, the type of vid you seek for fremont exists for only a very small handful of events that guarantee LOTS of fully naked young women, and those shooting would tend to be looking to make some money. No one wants to spend a great deal of time on a vid and not make a penny.
But that's just my opinion. Fremont is not in the same league as NAP, spring break, memorial day t&a, wet-t, etc where commercial interest is high. Vids sell and the girls are there to show so they don't mind. Until a few years ago, fremont was still pretty unknown. When Fingers from coccos discovered it, I figured it might go big-time and some paysite videographers might venture over to seattle. But to my knowledge, that has not happened. Also, consider that when folks tried to do SEXY vids at burning man, the burning man organizers got very upset. So, try this at fremont? You're taking a risk.
But that doesn't mean you can't have low budget attempts to capture the sexy stuff. I don't know that the youtube vids have a male or gay focus or purposely edit out the women though. I mean, do you see that? Truthfully, I don't watch vids much, but I assume It's mostly just unedited footage. All the naked run and bike stuff is like that. I take it for what it is - real footage that shows you exactly what you would see if you where there yourself. It can suck, or it can be awesome.
Anyway, good question
