Discussion: Are There Any Good Videos to Learn Our Sport?

One stated desire of the board is to get more "how to" resources on our website. This will make them available to newcomers to the sport. I have searched for some and found only a few that are good. There are quite a few that talk about taking a bearing but throw in declination. If anyone knows of good ones, we should point these out by links on the OUSA website. I just posted a video on UTube called "How to Use Your Orienteering Compass". Others can do better, I am sure. Should we encourage people to make them so that all the basic skills are delineated? Is this worth working on?

Talk to Run Bosco.

I have looked at her things and some are good. I may not have found the best.

Peter, could you please post a link. Thank you.

The Irish Orienteering Association has invested a lot of resources in these.

The 10 Elements of Orienteering are ideal introductory videos.

Think these are great - not my state but great resource.

I just watched a series of 4 (5?) by someone. Dammit, but my work computer won't let me find it. It was a dad and daughter, and me being a beginner, they were very great. They used that computer program Catching Features in the video.

Found it! Can't watch it here, but pretty sure this is the person who uploaded them: Kelsey Breseman.

Hell, I might have found them from OUSA's site!

And to your last question, as an ultra-newbie: Yes, so worth it!

Something HERE from Orienteering Australia

Jim - I think that's duplicates!!

The OA videos are good. This one is by a 12yo British boy, and this one is French - not really instructional but good for inspiring very young kids.

@mjtyson do you maybe mean Rick and Kelsey Breseman's videos? This is one of them, and I absolutely love them, very well done.

@andreais, yup, those are it. Love them. Tried to use the computer program, but my Win8 machine doesn't like it. :(
