Default Rig Photography NOOB. Need Help!!!

Hey guys. So i just started photography and i'm trying to learn as much as I can. Camera is a Nikon D90 with an 18-105mm lens and the only other gear I have is a Bogen tripod. Really want to learn how to take some awsome rolling shots using the "Rig" method. What type of rig gear do you guys recommend. I found an extensive but dont' know about what mount to use. Like a super clamp or a suction device? Which do you guys recommend? Any and all tips including actual product recommendations would be highly appreciated. Thx a lot for your helps.

Would "Fresno" be considered local?


Here's a few of my recent rig shots.










That link that jcoleman provided for you will have EVERYTHING you ever need to know about rig shots. So if you are lazy you will not find much info because you'll just scan through the pictures, but if you really want to learn, I say in a couple of days you will know exactly what you need and how much money is involved in building your own rig. Good luck.
