again, im a generally (what wayne is classing as) long video maker, but i can see clearly where he is coming from as for example andrewt's - vincent in colorado video - should be long, so much footage, and vince is truly f**king awesome, everyone wants to see this boy ride, and andyt is the f**king daddy of video's (if i may say so) mike (leedstrials) - roadtrip 05 - funkin awesome video, always phyc's (sp?) me up, but for differnt reasons for andyt's, this has numerous riders, of good ability, but doesnt become boring, because there is so many style's in there. so these as my examples of a well worked long video, and the reasons why, but if for an example a newmember who has been riding 3months makes a video that last's 5 mins, it generally would be pretty crappy as the level of riding isnt as high, (no offence to anyone, not aimed at anyone either). So you are very right (IMO) in the fact that video's are becoming much longer, i would say i dont tend to have long video's that are constant repetition, correct me if u feel i am wrong! most people who make long video's are using spare footage, both old and new, and this tends to create a longer video at least thats what happened on my bencoust4.mov video. Repetition is really bad in my opinion, it ruins the aura of a video (neil tunni's new video, too many rail gaps, i would say) but on the other hand it depends on the quality. i say, lets move back to the new less time video's and get lots more produced, especially this winter. ben EDIT: INTERESTINGLY, NOT WANTING THIS TO BE A DIG OR SOUND LIKE ONE, BUT HOW LONG WAS YOUR 'LITTLEWING' VIDEO WAYNE, THAT WAS FAIRLY LONG CORRECT???????? :lol:. U LOVE IT (Y)

i decided this was the case as well wayne, so for my next video im thinking about 2:20 for a video, hopefully it will work, however the case is that many bands are making songs that are way longer than this stated time 2-2.30 mins, which i would prefer, however, its also a very bad thing if u cut off a song short, i really hate that, in the past i have tried to edit to a bit where the song is essentially the same beat as the end, then trim it down, only once have i done it where no-body noticed (or mentioned they had noticed). but yer i agree. hence im taking that for my target for next street video :lol:

the topic wasnt about the mac vs pc debate, (been there done that) please get back onto topic, if u care.

the topic wasnt about the mac vs pc debate, (been there done that) please get back onto topic, if u care. ok, so im not trying to make a point about apple being better than microsoft, i just wanted to bring to light the new program APERTURE, which is meant for professional photographers, but im sure some of you guys from here may well be interested http://www.apple.com/aperture/ enjoy, it does look very good, just watch the three video's as well, some really cool images and explanations for those who dont understand what the program is about ben

most of the reasons i chose to move back to a magura are listed in this topic, more so rossi's reply, thats exactly the reason i chose, its not perfect for a comp situation, but as your keeping your disk as spare, there will be no problem if you enter a comp. my main reason, was because i kept landing on rotor, and having to bend it back with my fingers. meh each to their own.

thought it might have been them ad, shame they are expensive (Y). have to shift some stuff on ebay, unless anyone wants to buy my koxx forks for around 50 >_< cheers tom, but i would say 415 is a bit long for my bike, i dont want to alter the geometry of what i have too much. cheers both of you!

because when you bump a topic thats 3+ pages long its annoying as people might have to read the whole topic, i thought, its a different question, ill relate to the first page of the old topic, and ask where abouts it is. im glad to hear it might be nearing production, truly looks amazing, and cant wait to see it. ben

so people, its been long time since this has been mentioned, looking to be the most amazing dvd available to buy of trials / street riding since this forum began. Looks superb, but havent had any update on it at all? any ideas of a date of availability

to reproduce :$

sorry if thats toward me mark, im tlaking about stock, bit off topic but still forks :$

amen although, is there any other manufacturers that do four bolt mounts on forks (that are decent) as i wouldnt mind some new forks i reckon, but most manufacturers seem to be going the route of disc only, and that sucks...... adam u possibly answer that?

been there, done that, yer is very annoying when your parents give you speeches such as this, as if their happiness is to see their child grow to be a 60,000 per annum guy, i have just nodded and appreciated that they care. I realised, much at the same time as you, that i f**ked up majorly, i really did, i put my head down and did the best i could at A2, now im a student, doing well on an architectural course, that i really enjoy, dont do much work, but pass everything, now entering 3rd year. These years are important, i know you want to ride your bike, dont we all, but here we are, this is life, it will change, improve, maybe worsen, but its what we do, remember our sole reason for living is to reproduce :ermm: Just try hard sam, its worth it, i know you just want to ride your bike, but if you have no method of funding/eating/drinking then you are f**ked anyway. And for most, asda dont cut it as a full time job (no offence to those that id does cut it) meh, my two pence before bed with a hot chocolate. p.s your parents are right though, the time you are in now, is the basis of your life :$

but then it might amaze them to see what you would class as good photo's, i think some of yours are great, however, photography is a personal thing, something i would like, might not be the same as the next person. see where im coming from :( ben for example, i quite like this one taken of me :)

already discussed before :S, http://www.trials-forum.co.uk/forum/index....topic=62790&hl= i dont believe they are good enough for trials, a couple of smacks to them, and they are knackered. it really is

sorry spunkey i dont know what will be available for that. toxsin frame 1 - 68 x 128 (any isis cranks wiht normal bash (20/22th chainring)) 68 x 118 (tensiles wiht uci set up (16th chain ring)) should fit but probably the smallest you could go echo team 05 - 68 x 118 (with tensile uci set up 18:12 setup) thats what i know :S

please spell though properly joe, its really bugging me how you write it, it really is :ermm:, without trying to sound so harsh

it was only a bit of fun, a bit of fun with two options that didnt require a third, if people didnt want to vote they didnt have too. meh, who cares now, im winning, cos damon is better. awwwwwwww yea

which ever moderator made the third option, what was the point. ah well never mind. (Y) :blink:

right, thats a null vote then :blink:, biased view, check the leeds video, the boy in the camp light blue t-shirt is fat damon

there aint that option siders, whats your choice (Y)

no hence why i put it in chit chat, just a bit of fun (Y)

there we go, just answer it, maybe even write why you decided. reason for it is on msn, we always argue who is better, i say him, he reckons me. f**king daft lad. anyway cheers

why the hell are we all talking about tension still, the boy doesnt want tension on his surly, he wants to know if the mech hanger saver (a device to stop you snapping a mech hanger) will be compatible with fun bolts, which incedentally it doesnt. end of topic it doesnt accept fun bolts

my koxx forks have lasted me pretty well, around a year and im loving them, its good for me, but most wont like them, as they have bonded steerer

tom, that was a sweet video, not too sure about the tune, but nethertheless it was well worth it. I hope i manage to get a placement in yorkshire for university, get myself out on some of these big rides, i cant wait to ride leeds again..... damon, your a sick assed mother, that sidehop is massive kyle some good stuff from you (i think i met you in fort william, you ride the t-rex) some massive hooks as well from all by the looks of things really enjoyed it hope to meet up with you all soon ben
