That was interesting. Certainly different. Personally I'd try to remove as much of the clips where nothing is happening. I'd also place the camera so it includes more of the run up to the object you're riding. And maybe not include the majority of the bails if you are producing the video for the enjoyment of others. Sorry but I think people just aren't into watching bails of that sort. Good effort though and I hope you produce another one. And if I were you I'd ignore the kids with nothing constructive or positive to say. Most likely they miss a good deal of the point to riding trials. That is, the experience of activity rather than the idea of ability or skill. Unlucky to them.

Well, if I'm being a nob and have it all wrong, I apologise. In no way, as far as I can tell, are my motivations based on an idea that I definitely have it right and this makes me better in anyway. My opinion spawns from an idea of equality.

National Never Say Anything Critical For Fear Of Being Called Self Righteous Day..... /Lifetime? I love a joke, as far as I'm aware? I just wonder what underlies the humour in this instance. The same with the trend in behaviour toward so called "chavs". If the intention is what I consider benign or rational I have no issue, otherwise I may feel the need to comment in the way that I do. This is the way I operate based on the way I see things. Some of you express yourselves in humour towards other social groups. That's upto you. But if you express yourself on a public forum then you are open to a multitude of opinion, "self righteous" or not. In no way though do I think I am morally superior and completely correct in my views. I think my view is a gamble. I could be completely wrong, however that doesn't stop me from holding a view of what I "think" I am able to see in other peoples attitudes and behaviour. In this case an hypocricy that relates to differing views between differing social groups contradicting a fundamental same between those groups. So if I have got it all wrong, I apologise.

I bet your bike doesn't look like how I think a normal bike should look like though? There's no escape mate. The world is my subjectivity.

Can I have a National Beatdown Trials Rider Day? Those wierdos who ride with funny looking bikes that have no saddles. What the f**k is that all about? Why aren't they conforming to my idea of what's right? They deserve physical harm!

yawn.

What's the definition of a chav?

Stripper!

Push that envelope! Gold pressed mint.

I shall expose my face and hands.

Prepare yourselfs for a lifetime of junk mail and commerical phone call harrasment! Congradulations!

Probably not for a little while then I'm afraid Fred. See what happens.

Yeh, that surprised me. Wasn't too good to keep thinking of Fraiser whilst watching X-men.

There was a very nice feel to that vid. Compression quality was superb. The music was interesting. I thought you'd used some classical to begin with which would have been a pleasant surprise had it actually been so. Good job, I liked it

Could do on the bank holiday, this coming monday, if you guys fancy that?

Perhaps there's something contained in hip-hop that better relates to the more creative riding style of 24"? I liked it anyhow. Good job

I found it alright. Nothing special though.

7 mins! That's a bit too much trailor for my liking. I think I shall avoid watching that. I like the surprise. Anyone else going to watch it today?

It's everyones fault and everyones problem. The world is inseprably linked. My behaviour effects yours, your behaviour effects mine. This process goes back and forth (feedback). We can't consider individuals as closed systems saying that they make choices completely by themselves. "It is your fault" is an invalid statement. In judging an individuals action you have to consider everything which has ever interacted with them. This is my point about acting with understanding and compassion. The behaviour you send out is, to a degree, passed along. Just like if I hit a ball with a bat. The energy is converted from one thing (the bat/a person) to another (the ball/a person). Mog's statement is invalid if the intention of his words relates to the want of removing the "problem" of drug dealers and prostitution which I can assume relates to his want of a happy existance. He percieves the "problem" as threatening, doesn't feel happy about it thus becomes angry and wishes upon these people negative things. But punishment does nowt as we can establish from our history. Punishment has never detered people from breaking the law, in fact it tends to encourage the problem. It's the wrong end of the stick. You need to take preventative measures like working towards an environment where people are concerned for each other people. So that positive behavioural traits are more likely to develop. Especially as we seem to be one of the most potent influences over one another. If everyone is angry and hateful towards each other imagine what that would be like? I don't think Mog would appreciate that environment yet that's what he's promoting and this is why I find his statements to be invalid. I'm assuming he wants an environment he can be happy in. You create various types of divisions which leads to hate and anger which enourages more defined divisions which creates more hate and anger etc. etc. etc.

Are humans infallible? Are they always completely aware of choices that they are making? Why do you think somebody murders or deals? What benefit arises from not giving somebody another chance? What good does it do to punish people? What good does anger and hatred do?

If you truely understood you wouldn't be angry at these people, you'd probably feel sorry for them or at the very least not feel angry and view things in a logical manner. Anger is an emotion that's narrows the mind and tends not to consider the variables of cause and effect. I suspect you view your negative drug dealer experiences as closed experiences. That is, you ignore the cause and effect that led the drug dealer to be in front of you trying to sell you drugs. I used to know a kid who at 12 years of age was smoking bongs every day, doing ecstacy and speed on a fairly regular basis. He ended up in this situation because his parents did a lot of drugs. Can you blame him for that? This is an obvious cause and effect although it can be potentially displaced by other causes such as you and your behaviour. Although anger is not going to be one of those causes because anger tends to cause anger and then have the opposite effect of what you intend. This is what I meant about your behaviour contributing to these problems rather than helping. So instead if you are understanding and caring towards someones situation you might actually be able to communicate with them and effect change. Decent communication never happens when you are angry. Just holding an opinion of understanding and compassion relates to positive effect because of the influence we all have on each other. Remember you are the way you are, predominantly, because of the genes and the environment of which you had little choice to be a part of. Because the vast majority of humans rarely try to understand their psyhological processes, because of the general social system, they tend to have little choice in their lifestyle beside from the enivornment that is most constant in their life. Do you parents hold the same view as you just out of interest? This is why I can't get angry at you even though I strongly dislike your point of view. I understand it's the way you are. I think it's your loss though to feel like that though. I've been like that although not nearly to your degree and it's a much better/more pleasant existance to be understanding and caring towards the world. "PS. I really like the whole, "How could you constitute killing someone for possesion" thing followed up with, "I so hope you end up homeless just so you can see how hard life like that is." Pretty much renders your whole post worthless." I don't see any contradiction here. I think such an experience would be good for you from the understanding you might develop by being in the shoes of the people you appear to hate so much. I also don't see anything wrong in being a "bar tender"? Life isn't about money and status.

Just the sort of riding I like to see. Liked the music as well. Good job!

I feel sorry for you mate. Having that much anger and lack of understanding must suck balls. People who end up in these situations don't do so out of choice. Do you imagine anyone saying as a child, "When I grow older I want to sell degenerative drugs or risk my health and safety selling my body on the streets"? People are unfortunately born into and surrounded by circumstances that lead to these types of behaviour and which we are all guilty of contributing to. Lack of understanding, sympathy and compassion being several strong contributions. Have you ever considered that your opinion fuels these problems? And you really want to punish these people by shooting them? You don't think that they're present suffering is enough? Personally I'd prefer to help them. The idea of happy person sits in my head a lot better than the idea of a dead person.

To be relaxed and mindful of the world.

I suspect not because of drugs being a contentious issue and not conducive to sales. However you never know. It's like the green card in the back of the rizla packets. Highly convenient roach paper....
