Videos

I have been blessed with a life of adventure, varied experiences, sprinkled with some travel. I am using video as one way of sharing my life with others. While having type 1 diabetes I will continue to motor forward with more adventures and more stories to share via videos, blog and vlog posts and films. Long form videos and films may be in my Films section.

Hey Neighbor, Don't put your trash out the evening before trash day.

I see Peccary (Javelina) with some regularity on my trail runs in the Sonoran Desert in Arizona. Do not see them very often in the neighborhood, but know that they roam the streets at night.

I caught Matt Shepard at the Across The Years (Aravaipa Running) event during his epic and record breaking 6 Day Event near Phoenix, Arizona. Our paths crossed nine years ago in distant Sitka, Alaska as he created an ultra run for diabetes. He would become only the 2nd person to complete the 6 Day event in the Around The Clock category. I believe this entails a lap every hour (no long naps!).

Matt and Dave Proctor are currently planning a run across Canada for Outrun RARE (may be changed due to the Corona Virus).

I have seen this young bobcat 5 times and he wandered through our yard a couple days ago (I missed him by seconds!). He is living in our area and is new to life out of the home. All the times I have seen him/her have been on my runs through the desert.

The Arizona Desert teems with wildlife during the summer time. Such an amazing place and my eyes are searching for the next 'find' on my runs. Another Type 1 Adventure. Living life fully with type 1 diabetes.

Glad to have moved up to Adobe Premiere Pro and some assets via Peter McKinnon to upgrade my videos. Hopefully, making a tarantula video all the better. This guy was encountered on a desert run.

Lots of animals on my channel. Most are encountered on my desert runs. Most popular, by a long shot, are the cows eating cactus (with spines). Here is one more for the YouTube nation.

Of all the unique, crazy, and interesting creatures I see on my runs, the overall crowd favorite on YouTube, by a long shot, are the cows eating cactus (with spines).

Living a life of adventure with diabetes makes for some cool and inspiring footage. It also gives me great stories for my blog at davenevins.me. I am a photographer at heart but am working more in the film world. Yes, adventure would be a key hashtag for me!

At long last I have created an intro video for my YouTube Channel.

A kayak journey organized by SAIL (Southeast Alaska Independent Living) in Sitka, Alaska. The kayaking started in Sitka to the Samsing Cove Cabin with some kayaking beyond the Samsing Cabin area. Film/video created by Dave Nevins Media. Video and photos also contributed by Heather Cole. This video/film was also a No Limits project.

We parked just below the high point of the dirt track that leads to the hike up Trincheria Peak near Cuchara, Colorado. The Peak is 13, 517 feet high. Got some video of the drive up the road, but it looked a bit more impressive in the dark.

Already becoming one of my favorites amongst my many videos from the wildlife that I see on my runs in the Arizona desert. I believe this is the same group of Javelina I have seen four times this summer. Thankfully, there are curious animals as there are curious humans.

Always good to get out on a run through the desert. Especially grand when you see cool wildlife and an extra bonus when they are curious like the photographer.

Mountain bike ride with Old Pueblo MTB on August 11, 2019. Excellent trail for beginners. Photos and videos from Todd Rasmussen and Dave Nevins. Video created by Dave Nevins Media. davenevins.me

Mountain bike ride with Old Pueblo MTB on August 11, 2019. Excellent trail for beginners. Photos and videos from Todd Rasmussen and Dave Nevins.

The Tortolita Preserve Trail Loop is near Dove Mountain Resort in Marana, Arizona (near Tucson). 9+ miles with few technical sections it is a good beginner trail. There is a decent amount of sand. This ride is with the Old Pueblo MTB group.

My first ride off pavement with my gravel bike was above the Deschutes River near The Dalles, Oregon. The trail was perfect for riding as it was on a railroad bed. The track had never been laid. I rode about 20 miles.

One of my first purchases when I arrived in The Dalles, Oregon was a gravel bike. This video is the first ride on a dirt track and I am sure there will be many other rides in the future. This route is on a railroad bed (the tracks were never laid), so it is very flat and wide. About 15 miles from The Dalles.

I was one house away from completing my run when I encountered this little guy. A young and somewhat curious rattlesnake wondering the streets north of Tucson, Arizona.

I was ready to walk up the driveway and complete this run when I saw this young rattlesnake. A unique opportunity to video the desert wildlife before I move up to The Dalles, Oregon.

Testing Gravity at the Grand Canyon with a bungee jump from the Navajo Bridge (Arizona) with Over the Edge Bungee. Navajo Bridge is 467 feet above the Colorado River. Full video with the jumpers to be posted soon. Created by Dave Nevins Media.

This is a splash of photos taken by a number of people who were at the Navajo Bridge (Grand Canyon) during our bungee jump. Full video (The Jump) is in the long form/film section.

The historic Navajo Bridge is one of the tallest bridges in the United States, one of the most scenic and one of my favorite bungee jumps. 467 feet above the Colorado River situated in the Grand Canyon (Arizona). A few fun notes: After the crazy bouncing starts the video is jumbled, briefly.

An epic jump in a sensational location. Just got back from the historic Navajo Bridge in the Grand Canyon (Page, Arizona) and a jump with Over the Edge, Inc. Bungee. This was not a new challenge, but it had been ten years since I have done any gravity testing so I sort of felt like a newbie.

It has been 14 years since I bungee jumped off the Navajo Bridge (Grand Canyon-Arizona). An incredible rush to do some gravity testing in a sensational location. Living life fully despite having type 1 diabetes. Filmed by Sean Crosby. Dave Nevins Media.

Another viewpoint of my bungee jump at the Historic Navajo Bridge (Grand Canyon-Arizona). Filmed by Sean Crosby on my Canon 7D. 

Some adventurers gathered at the historic Navajo Bridge in the Grand Canyon for an epic bungee jump. The bridge is 467 feet above the Colorado River in Arizona. The bungee jump was run by Over the Edge, Inc. Bungee.

I tried to recruit a person or two with type 1 diabetes to join the adventure at the bridge but had zero success. The first person we met at the bridge was Bryce, who amazingly has type 1 diabetes and will be a part of my bungee jump film to highlight the day and to focus on living life fully with diabetes.

Some adventurers gathered at the historic Navajo Bridge in the Grand Canyon for an epic bungee jump. Alyce came to watch but made the crazy decision to jump. The bridge is 467 feet above the Colorado River in Arizona. The bungee jump was run by Over the Edge, Inc. Bungee.

Alyse is a friend of Barry & Sharon Glazier, who are friends of mine. She decided to come to the Navajo Bridge with her family to watch the crazy people jump from a perfectly good bridge. I give her a ton of credit to join our adventure and take her first jump.

A kayak expedition into the wilds of Alaska. Sign us up, echo Trever & Dave, who both have type 1 diabetes. Live life to the fullest is one of our mottos. This is from a No Limits Kayak Expedition out of Sitka, Alaska. Created by Dave Nevins (Dave Nevins Media).

A No Limits kayak expedition in Alaska provided unbelievable scenery, plentiful wildlife, adventure and two characters that were outstanding. One of which has type 1 diabetes (Trever) and who also has in his possession an insane humor level. Scott, our guide is one of the best guides ever and provided some of the most memorable clips of the film.

I see Bobcats every now and then, but usually in the neighborhood. This was a unique opportunity as this was in the desert and I was able to take many photos and a video.

I see a lot of wildlife on my runs through the desert near my residence. This was a very unusual encounter as the bobcat paid almost no attention to me and I was able to get very close and to follow the bobcat for a while. Talking with a wildlife biologist friend he shared that this is probably a male who was nudged out of his home to begin his life on his own. This would mean this is a new area for him and he was not sure where to go. May not have been around humans much.

Excellent slot canyon in Kanab, Utah. 3/4 mile hike to the end of the canyon. The dirt road to the canyon is very sandy. Make sure you have great traction. Sorry for the clicking on my camera. Not sure why it is doing that. The Grand to Grand Ultra goes through this slot canyon.
California Condor at Horseshoe Bend (Page, Arizona). We saw this condor flying around and were able to locate where he landed. There are 83 (listed) California Condors in Arizona/Utah. Largest flying bird in North America. Up to a 10-foot wingspan. Footage is a bit shaky as I had a long lens and no tripod.
Seeing a Monster on a run through the desert in Catalina, Arizona. The Gila monster is a species of venomous lizard native to the southwestern United States and northwestern Mexican state of Sonora. Gila monsters spend nearly all of their time in burrows underground. Classified as near threatened.
Mojave Rattlesnake in the Sonoran Desert near Tucson, Arizona. Looks like he just ate a small meal. One of the many encounters I have had during my runs through the desert.
Giant Desert Centipede encountered on a nighttime run in the desert in Catalina, Arizona. Found in the Southern United States and Northern Mexico. It is venomous. Average size is 6.5 inches.
Desert Tortoise I saw on a trail run near Catalina, Arizona.

Bighorn Sheep (Rams) jumping fence near the Rio Grande Gorge - near Taos, NM. Filmed by Dave Nevins on August 29, 2015 on a Canon 7D. I did stop filming so that I could get a few photographs.
Saw this coyote while on a run. Surprised that I was able to get photos and videos as coyotes tend to be rather skittish. I saw this coyote and the rest of the family (I believe) two days later, in the same area. Guessing that the coyote had raided/trying to raid the birds nest.

Saw this guy during a run through the Arizona desert.  Coyotes are usually very skittish, so was surprised to be able to get good photographs and videos.  In the video he is dive bombed by a bird.

give it a few seconds before picture appears

While not one of my most viewed videos this one has the most story surrounding the footage. This was a bungee jump at the Glenn's Ferry Bridge in Idaho.  I did not know that someone was filming the most unique bungee jump that I have done.  It would be four years after the jump that I would see the video. The boat that rescued my shoe was the only boat that we saw all day and they only were only around for my jump.  They were on the Snake River fishing for sturgeon.

Rope Jump off of a 95 foot bridge in Idaho. Longer versions on my channel

While I have done a lot of bungee jumps and some rope swings, this rope jump was the craziest I have done. A regular rope was used, with no stretch (like a bungee cord) so you better jump with all your worth to take out the slack in the rope. It is a really short bridge (95 feet) so everything is magnified since it is so much closer and in view than a tall bridge.

Royal Gorge Bungee, Dave Nevins, 2008 Go Fast Games, Over the Edge Bungee - No Audio

At the Royal Gorge (Canon City, Colorado) during the Go Fast Games. Over the Edge, Inc. Bungee was asked to run the bungee jump. All other events were invitation only. This is probably the premier jump on the planet (1053 feet above river). I believe we were the last people to jump it (insurance must be taken out to do this jump, otherwise it is an illegal jump). This was in 2008.

2 Peaks Adventure in Sitka, Alaska. This was a run/walk in September 2011. A solo effort started at the Sitka National Historical Park, a run to Mt. Verstovia, run/hike up & down Verstovia (to Picnic Rock), run to Gavan Hill, run/hike up & down Gavan Hill and run back to Sitka National Historical Park (where I parked the car).

For whatever reason, I decided to run/hike up the two main peaks that rise above Sitka, Alaska, while running between the mountains and run back to the car, while a stormy day unleashed.

Footage from a GoPro found (May/June 2013) in shallow water near the Scripps Pier, La Jolla, CA. Start is a couple seconds after the GoPro came off a surfboard. It appears that this happened at Pacific Beach, Tourmaline. Cam traveled about 6 miles before discovery.

A GoPro camera was found by a friend of mine at the La Jolla Pier (California) in the ocean. It had come off of a surfboard and found the bottom of the ocean to bounce around while it continued to film. By Claudia's estimates it had covered about six miles from what she saw at the start of the footage and where it was found. No dating to help with time elapsed. The GoPro is an early version and still works!
