Jonny Jones

Got my copy this morning. Every rider shreads everything they ride! I was actually really impressed with Chris Smith's section... MBUK articles really dont do his riding justice! Mart's section was ace.. little trip down memory lane in a way for him at the start lol, Akkers is just mad - didn't expect anything less! - I thought Porter's section was gonna be a little longer but all his riding just takes the piss anyway haha, Smith ive mentioned, Wayne constantly blows me away and the Moto trials was awesome too, great to see where all this hopping malarky started from! On a slight down note, the camera work in places was a bit poo - perhaps the guys shooting it hadn't made a Trials vid before? I could be very wrong and I dont wanna be too judgemental cos it is a pretty hard sport to shoot. Hard work getting music clearance too so I have found and I thought they didn't do too badly on that front! Good work guys! Jonny.

I love you Neill and everything but I thought the video was a little bland? Fooking massive riding as I would expect (I was like throughout) but the music made me go a little insane - felt myself going into a trance? - Thought it was gonna be longer too, but non-the-less bloody impressive esp. the wheelswaps on the post-boxes - straight bunnyhop to front wheel too, mega! Another thing, how the hell are those rims staying in rideable form? Jonny.

Damn you Wheeler haha, ive gotta work! Maybe another day soon!! J.

I'll be there with luck! J.

Woah beast!! J.

Seemed more like a promotional/evaluation video for what looked like some kinda massive festival or something, havn't looked at the Norco site so im not sure what context the video has been put in. Some of the riding was pretty cool, but like people have said, most is very sketchy. I suppose if Ryan and Dylan are always riding demos, then their riding scope could be quite limited? Ive never ridden demos professionally (obviously!) so I could be completely wrong! What I mean is they are constantly on the road and must find it hard to get out and ride like we do and come up with loads of tricks/variations all the time. If it was meant to be a pure Trials video, the people who made it need to look on these pages more often as I dont think it was done very well :$ Jonny.

You smell or Arabian monkeys in high American society Simon (Love you's really! :$ ) Naa Craig that site is proper original, love it in a proper bo' kinda way, in which only bo' can be used as it puts you in a proper bo' state of mind. Awesome stuff dude. Inspirational stuff for sure! Jonny.

That looked awesome. What was it shot on - as in what camera? J.

New home page is ok, but the rest is still a tad poo but its all about the riding and the dvd so I think most people can/will overlook it. I've pre-ordered mine and therefore am excited to see the end result and hopefully gain some inspiration for my DVD J.

Web wise, all my new vids have been shot in HD, but the frame size I exported hasn't been at HD due to the pure size of the files FCP produces with H.264 compression. Although, you can clearly (excuse the pun) see the difference between something like London 1,2 or 3 or even TM2 and the recent Portsmouth ride video I did. HDTV's will drop in price over the next two years so I recon we'll slowly get there but when we do, it'll be ace. J.

Nobody has mentioned LHM brake oil. I use it in my brakes and is pretty much as good as Royal Blood - the standard Maggy oil you get now. Its luminous green and is used for Citreon (sp) cars brakes and its widely available in Halfords. As Waynio has said, dont use water, its not what the brakes were designed to use and it reduces the life of your brakes, so if you buy a new set and re-bleed with water you are effectively not getting your money's worth, as Maggy's last years if they are correctly looked after! Hope this helps. Jonny.

Its well tempting to travel the 4 hours it will take me to get to Bradford, but how many riders will be out? J.

Complete beast! In a funny sort of way I found that video really refreshing? If anybody knows what I mean haha! Nice 1! J.

Why change the title when it says 'Our Summer' - as in this summer that hasn't happened yet! I'll try and include as many people as possible! I'll be on the look out for rides in Leeds, Brum and yes Leon, Basildon too! Jonny.

Yeah, im not too bothered myself :$ but it is a bit random of them to take advert money from people such as the porn industry. J.

Yeah the site's server is being upgraded or something so will hopefully be back up in a few hours. ALL TrialMedia videos are available HERE! Jonny.

Bloody awesome buddy, great work Didn't realise you were taking sneaky photos of ma'self haha! That RIDDEN T shirt looks quite fetching huh? Cheers man keep it up! Jonny.

Id quite like to shoot this road trip for my DVD. I'll be at NASS so I cud maybe just follow you guys around the country, if you dont mind a short guy with a camera in your face haha! Jonny.

They are great cameras but ive decided to shoot everything in HD and down-convert to standard definition for the DVD. That way the quality will be slightly better than a normal single chip camera which is what mine is... if that makes sense. Anyway enough of the technical stuff, on with riding and shooting all of yas'! J.

For sure man. Im most certainly heading to Porthcawl again so maybe well could all meet down there, or how long are you from there? Add me to msn man, we'll talk - msn@trialmedia.co.uk J.

BEST NBR VIDEO YET! Loved all the rider reaction cut-aways, well good. J.

Thanks man will do Ive bin playing with my camera more today as well as the Panasonic I mentioned... it would be to my advantage to shoot the DVD in HD and down convert. Sony are always releasing new kit. The A1E I have was used for bits of Earthed 3 and I think the BBC are equiping reporters with the same camera that I have for slightly more 'raw' news coverage. I'll see what Sony are up to though, cheers man J.

I see you still have no faith Danny haha! Naa im considering ditching my HD camera for the time being and getting a Panasonic DVX100. Reason being theres no point in shooting a DVD in HD if im going to down-convert to normal DV quality for the DVD... and my camera only has one image chip so the quality wont be amazing. Barely anybody has HD TV's etc and I dont have any kind of HD DVD burner, give it a year or so and everybody would have converted, then it will be time to do an HD DVD. Hopefully it will be available to buy from the trialmedia.co.uk - most likely be a PayPal jobbie. Ta for the interest, its great to know people are interested J.

Naa im with you sounded kinda rough? But if it works well then all good. J.

Yeah that link is correct, hope you find it, its about halfway down the page J.
