mark, look.....will you just say...."dont worry ben, your videos are amazing" and ill leave the topic alone. haha but seriously, i agree with so many points, however i think it does come down to the style of trials. Even rowans video's are very stop start in comparison to bmx. You can have flowing shots with bmx because generally the riders are going at speed (i know im heading for a shooting down on that comment), in comparison to trials. Music choice by most people on here is poor. I personally like to go for cheesy music, that makes you laugh at me, however, as many people will say - its each to their own. Many riders do not think about the shot, and go with stupid angles where you cannot see the true size of a gap / sidehop, many (i think) in an aim to make something look bigger / further. I prefer when you can see the size / technicality of a move, and I try and think about where a shot will look best from, and how it will look on the camera (with the architecture of buildings, or the nature - flowers / trees / rocks and the like) but sometimes your actual location is not good enough to get a decent shot. I watched all the bmx videos in this topic, and to be honest at times i got bored, because there was too much 'pish' - not riding, shots of buildings, sunsets etc. In the middle of a video I do not think this is good, the intro to that 8 min video was almost 2 mins, which to me, is pointless. Im wanting to see a video for the riding. Nothing more..... just my thoughts.

Im not sure whose videos in trials you actually watch mark, but you will notice that there are a number of us that dont use screamy shite....i understand that the TGS crew (which im still nto sure if im a part of) use alot of screamy music, and im all against it, as no-one in trials has a fast enough / big enough pace to match the music. i suppose your watching the wrong video's mark

ah man.....i knew i was hitting the wrong spots with my videos....my fetish for wankin foils me again. points taken dawg, to be honest i think you have crumbled my podium nicely . not a leg to stand on now haha. Im taking OBM's side now.

ok ok....trials riders are shit video editors thats me burned down and all out of ideas to come back at you with except for one....which means im not all out of ideas eh . but i do get where your coming from. my only other thought might be the average age of trials rider compared to a bmxer...

I understand that its a culmination of things that improve the videos, and as you previously mentioned, the only real person who has come close recently is Rowan (damn i hate his skills), previously, the only people who has thought some of his shots through was TRA's HDV videos, Jonny Jones' vids, and the lot from G.E.T. I have tried, and majorly failed, however i find that without the HD element that shots do not look that great, and i certainly dont have the money to pay for a camera man. As tarty said, the major player in ALL of this is money. Unfortunately it DOES make the world go round. p.s, im with you on the stuff in your quote...i think i just didnt word my post correctly before, i just think HDV is the finishing touch to making a video 'look' good. He meant this one...click this link big man

I have the feeling much of your questions might be answered when rowly (ben rowlands) begins to make the trailers for his DVD he will be making. (if he makes trailers) That boy has ideas . I understand what you mean, however in the same respect you have to compare the size of the bmx market to that of the trials industry. In my opinion its much much bigger, and as such the money put into promo's is much larger than that of the trials industry. I think what OBM said is quite spot on though....that video is shot in HDV, the quality is better, which immediately makes the video 'look' 100x better than youtube video's. When trials riders start using HDV this is when trials video might appear more professional

you should all come....after all....ill be there
