bikeperson45 Posted April 8, 2014 Report Share Posted April 8, 2014 Pretty much the same video he's put out for the past four years now, just a bit more dramatic Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CalopS Posted April 8, 2014 Report Share Posted April 8, 2014 I tried to give it a chance but had to turn it off at the weights bit. Just as bad as watching a comp "training" vid. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
trialsalot Posted April 8, 2014 Report Share Posted April 8, 2014 If it ain't Ali,Danny,Prattley or Mark it just isn't worth the filming. However, the filming was good but the riding was nothing special. I'm sick of seeing "training sessions" in trials videos now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
isitafox Posted April 8, 2014 Report Share Posted April 8, 2014 There's 2 good points I found about this. The riding as a whole was a million times more interesting than the Ozonys team video in London (I still found most of it boring though) and the fact he is 33 means there is hope for me yet! Would still rather watch an actual riding video though! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

manuel Posted April 9, 2014 Report Share Posted April 9, 2014 There was one good bit- manifesto rail ride. I didn't get the gym bits - why would anyone want to see that? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ross McArthur Posted April 9, 2014 Report Share Posted April 9, 2014 You have an idea of what you want to be in a couple of years do you? Whats that? Famous? Not gonna happen mate. Back in yer box. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HippY Posted April 9, 2014 Report Share Posted April 9, 2014 as a general motivation video, I think it is really good About Ozonys I feel like we- who knows and like the style of MacAskill, Ali C, Damon Watson, eightypsi guys- are not the audience of the brand, they are looking for new riders, or people who have not heard about the sport at all. They contain some good tricks, and some good motivational bit, and whereas if you are not a bike fan, it could be better for you, as probably they cannot appreciate if someone do a difficult long line, as you need to ride to know how hard are they. But honestly, it is the first french video I gave a thumb up :$ 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
williams Posted April 9, 2014 Report Share Posted April 9, 2014 I liked it all! Nice riding, filming etc. And I agree with UKhippY, I think that they are putting these videos out to suit a non biking audience aswell. Thumbs up Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JJ Leigh Posted April 9, 2014 Report Share Posted April 9, 2014 (edited) There was one good bit- manifesto rail ride. I didn't get the gym bits - why would anyone want to see that? the 3 episodes of rehab n stuff in imaginate, and dannys "inspirational words riding vids" *advertising* what about them and there obviously good so dont get me wrong Edited April 9, 2014 by JJ Leigh Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eskimo Posted April 9, 2014 Report Share Posted April 9, 2014 (edited) There was one good bit- manifesto rail ride. I didn't get the gym bits - why would anyone want to see that? Fully agreed. Started off good, that line was pretty sweet. Some good manuals and some gaps. But then it got all, well, as the others said. I also tried to give it's due, but couldn't. No fancy camera work can make that manual 180 better. Should also probably mention, 360 flyouts, leave them to the 14 year old skate park goers.

JD™ Posted April 9, 2014 Report Share Posted April 9, 2014 I'd be very surprised if that deadlift was 180kg as well, but it's tough to see being as he's using a child's bar and odd sized weights. Didn't watch the riding, just skipped to the weights bit because I didn't believe anyone had actually put that in a riding video. What a knob. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chimpanzyyyy Posted April 9, 2014 Report Share Posted April 9, 2014 he's kinda handsome looking, I m giving him that the work out part didn't bother me at all his form wasn't perfect on the deadlift but those are some good numbers anyway not sure how those clips fits into a riding video though... the video was lame, as usual but it's a shame because he's got so much skills actually, it would be awesome if someone talented put some times to film him and edit a vid in a decent way Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Perez Posted April 9, 2014 Report Share Posted April 9, 2014 They should hire Mark Westlake to film and edit a movie for them, so they finally got some serious viewing. I would give a kidney to have 50% of the moves they do, like they would give a kidney to have the style they dont have. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dann2707 Posted April 9, 2014 Report Share Posted April 9, 2014 (edited) Wtf why so much hate in here?! I saw it as more of like a documentary rather than a proper riding video so it's fair enough he's stuck some filler in there.

dngr2self Posted April 9, 2014 Report Share Posted April 9, 2014 Like a few others hsve said, it seems like an advert aimed at getting people into the sport rather than a video for people that already ride. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lifes-a-trial Posted April 9, 2014 Report Share Posted April 9, 2014 What ever happened to constructive criticism?granted, the film left a lot to be desired but he doesn't deserve the bitchy negative coments coming from the forum . 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1a2bcio8 Posted April 10, 2014 Report Share Posted April 10, 2014 Yeah, sorry chaps - friends that I'm critiquing! - but I have to agree with the above. Whilst I don't relate to Yohan's riding all that much, I find it difficult not to assume he's doing what makes the most sense to him and, in a related sense, what he presumably enjoys the most. I think he deserves some respect for that? Yohan and associates get a lot shit that seemingly goes beyond expressing a difference of approach. I'm unsure why they deserve that for not doing what some of you think is better? The sort of response found in this thread and other similar ones will just alienate the French riders. Is that a good thing? I think that 24" riders should try to remember that they've experienced loads of shit for not aligning with other related approaches to riding. Basically, just because you prefer *a* way that doesn't necessarily make it *the* way beyond personal preference. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bing Posted April 10, 2014 Report Share Posted April 10, 2014 He has a a lot of skill, you can't deny that aspect, and I respect him for that, I'd kill to do half the stuff he can do. I don't understand all the hatred, he's just another guy doing what he enjoys doing, riding a bike Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jake. Posted April 10, 2014 Report Share Posted April 10, 2014 Bit disappointed at how much hate this guy has got, almost seems like bullying. But yet again I haven't watched the video. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
