I don't envy the judges at all!! Is there some kind of deadline for releasing the results?

Reverse bars 180 must have been a real bitch to land! Nice one :-P

Needs more longer!

Cheers! Band's called 'The Litter' and the song is 'Here I go again'.

f**king hell, Nick. That was off the hook. That was incredible, so fluid, so stylish, just bloody brilliant. You can really see how much time and effort went into this. I like the way the two parts of the video had a totally different pace, you could have easily released them as two separate videos and as a stand alone they'd still be awesome. I can't work out what my favourite line was but I know I loved the triple fakie bench link up accumulator jobbie at 3:37 was beautifully done. If it was down to me this would take the prize. I'm blown away.

Thanks for all the positive comments guys, I was pretty nervous about this video with it being a solo affair, I would have been pretty gutted if everyone hated it! So thanks a lot, it's all been worthwhile That's a fair point! I think it's probably because of the self-filmed aspect. The previous eightypsi edit was obviously rammed full of cool people being awesome and the atmosphere of the ride naturally filtered through without me having to try and force out a video with faux atmosphere. I think it's blatantly obvious when you bring out a video that has a natural energy and good vibe about it when compared to one that is filmed with the specific agenda of smacking everyone in the face with how tight your 'crew' is. I always feel like a douche when I'm filming myself because most of the spots I've found are pretty public, so you've got people watching you film yourself and I guess when someone is watching you film yourself, it's like you're sort of making a statement; 'I think I'm awesome so I'm filming myself as a gift to the world'. When in actual fact I just feel uber self concious and a total tool! Thanks, Nick.. That's almost a backhanded compliment haha! The Skye has a dial under the saddle that I'd never spotted before, up until now I've had it set to 'sketchy as f**k'. I turned it one click to the right so now it's set to 'moderately sketchy'. I'm not sure how to take this? Are you saying you're glad you finally saw someone who's out of shape riding a Skye?! haha

https://vimeo.com/50403548 Here it is, I hope you all enjoy it! Make sure you hit HD.

While I'm waiting for my video to upload I decided to do a little update. There's a picture up and below that some words about the competition and shit. It's mostly just ramblings but someone might be interested http://eightypsi.wordpress.com/

Silky riding and big moves. Silky filming and a slick edit. I didn't quite get why it's 'oldschoool' though? But I really enjoyed it nonetheless

That was bangin' Your style is soooooooo lazy that sometimes it's easy to overlook how beasty some of those lines were, I had to watch it twice to fully appreciate it all. Really lovely edit, cool song, awesome riding.

Enjoyed that dude! Was funny BUT there is also some very obvious improvement in there too. Looks like you've been pushing yourself which is cool. Even if you didn't land everything this time round, you really need to get that shit down and bang out another video soon!

I'm content with who I am and the direction in which my life is heading. I'm not happy with where I am right now but it's a means to an end and bikes keep me sane.

Plays through to the end for me. Don't worry, we get to see your guns

Managed to squeeze in another 5 clips today! Might even finish my edit tonight...

aaah now I see, the mix of the both is pretty cool, I think I preferred the brakeless bits more , you seem smoother like that. Cool video, nicely done! Enjoyed that

I just got as far as 1:30 and realised you're brakeless.. :$ Going to watch from the start again!

Magical! I'm pretty speechless! I'm digging the love affair theme haha, really touching. Tap to nose bonk was rad, as was that weird sidehop splat thing at 2:06! Plenty of other awesome lines too

For the overhead shots of course..

Final Cut Pro is f**king with me.

That would however be physically impossible.

I assume the deadline is the end of the 30th and not BY the 30th... Right?

I'll try my best! It's all or nothing these next few days! Rain edit would be 'interesting'?

That mudguard...

I think I've got a song! I have most of the lines I wanted on film now, all that's really left is the scary stuff. Hopefully this week I'll be able to grow a pair... I'm getting that sick pre-adrenaline feeling in my stomach just thinking about it!
