On The Discreditation Of Hyper-Progress

Recommended Posts

For the past month or so, I've been trying to film for a video.

On account of broken bikes, disgraceful weather, minor injuries and being so inconsistent as to make throwing a dice look ordered, I'd collected eight clips.

Got super-frustrated, and then it was raining all day when it said it'd be sunny. Stupid Northern weather and even stupider Met office :(

Took a trip back down to the midlands and rode Wolverhampton with Kyle (where it ALSO rained). Was super fun, I didn't ride like a fish out of water for once, and actually got some stuff on film.

This is a video of today, with those extra eight clips thrown in. It's a bit me-heavy since I was originally filming for a me-video. Really chuffed with some of it, but it seems the trialsy side is pretty much exclusively sidehops. Ah well. I do love sidehops ;)

Kyle: sorry if using this music embarrasses you. I listen almost exclusively to music that just doesn't work in videos, it would appear, so I took Carl's advice: "ignore what the forum think and use something you like, that kind of works and is about the right length." This is what I came up with :P

I'll hopefully start a new "proper" video after winter. ("Enough waffle!" I sense your fingers itching to type, so yeah... Down below!)

N.B.: I'm just posting this now so I can go to bed in a bit. I'm stuck on my stupid Halls' 512kb/s connection, and it's rather a large file to upload. Been going since just after 21:00, and it just clicked over to 51%.

very good! Brakeless is amazing and more people should do it, you are proof that you can pretty much do most tgs stuff without them plus other bmxy things too.

I do hate you though! I had that Leeds line from the wall into the slope in my google maps video riding spots list, now I can't film it :(

Sure you can. You just won't be the first to have done so :lol:

I guess we're even. I've done a bunch of lines around Leeds that I was dead chuffed with only to have Carl tell me afterwards that you'd already done it! I guess we're even :giggle:

Thanks though! (Apart from the hating bit :( )
