Jonny Jones

Well, the camera was £615 when I got it. Tripod was £16.99 I think. Got it off Amazon. Lens came in a kit with a 0.2x telephoto lens - kit was £59.99. My 0.43x Fisheye was £49.99. All the lenses are screw-on types and not clip-on, so they're more robust. They keep me happy. lol! Jonny.

My camera is approx 3 and a bit years old, not made anymore - Sony DCR-TRV18E. Single Chip, 500 lines res, Mini DV. Was using my Kenko Digital 0.5x Wide lens, on my Hama Star 63 tripod. Only use a fisheye in the right situations! Dont do what I did and get lazy and keep it on the camera all the time. Take a few minutes to take in the area you're filming in, what angles you can use, what riding is going down etc etc... that way, you can get the best results. Get a 0.5x if you can. Bike Show issue was me being me when Im tired and annoyed about other things, my fingers do the talking, which I hate... I think I have learnt to controll it all now ahah! But, for that reason, I doubt I'll even be a Senior Member (Y) ;) The sus is sweet thanks man! Been running it for some time now! Opened up more possibilites.. you can use the rebound for more things, and front taps are as easy as if I was using rigids. Ta for the comments! :lol: Jonny.

Hey all, OK, saw the 'post your entries here' thread had died to the 2nd page so I gathered nobody was looking in there, and since nobody is allowed to post anything (ie comments) apart from links to entries in that specific thread, I thought it would be better if people just make their own posts so people can comment and the competition may get a bit more exposure... if people are still interested in the whole thing! Anyways, talking over! Filmed and editing today, here's my entry! I quite like it, but the end is a bit.. well, boring, purely cos I was running out of energy and I didn't have any ideas for any more moves! A Curb Video - Left Click Here! Thanks to trials-shack as usual, hats off to the boy Simon! ;) ALL comments welcome, and I hope more people enter! Its a challenging task (believe it or not) to ride on a curb and make a video from it in the end.. so have a go people! :lol: Jonny.

I know people are 110% allowed to share their opinions, but I thought that was a little harsh ;) Minted photos Chris! You did really well, I had issues with exposure and white balance in the show hall, but I think I pulled it off! *checks footage*. Jonny.

FOOKING AWESOME MATT! 24" for me.. when I have the money! (Y) Jonny.

Pretty sweet site EC is, Ben goes through sooo many ideas before he comes out with his final piece. But yea, he's a wizard in Photoshop! ... hes just lazy in Dreamweaver.. text layers and stuff :blink: Jonny.

f**kers, take a knife next time! Seriously though! Jonny.

Yea dude, im confused, why did you say it had Shrewsbury in? Riding was wicked, but doesnt even come close to the flow and style of shrewser's! Keep them coming non the less! Jonny :blink:

Wicked photos Andy of Ponting towers! Especially the one with you on the edge of the wall - photo 4, awesome! I think you suit the Saracen really well! Hope all is good! Jonny. :S

As promised - Here's the Link! - Left Click Jonny. :S

I think bikes are 50 : 50 in terms of how they look and perform. I think Dan went for this setup as he is the stockest for V!Z and so he was most likely saving the nicest components for stock to sell to consumers (ie us). Not sure if thats the explanation, but the bike does look clean, and by the sounds of things, it rides mint too! So he's got a fair deal going on. Sorry for bumping the thread back up. Jonny.

Hey man! Where did you get that Giant frame from? Jonny.

Danny Grey (Mavic) is sending it me! Many thanks anyways! Jonny.

So is anybody gonna fix the link? :blink: REALLY want to see this video! ;) Jonny.

Im actually really looking forward to seeing what people produce! Its great having limitations such as curbs to base riding on! Editing and filming has gotta be looked into as well! Good luck everybody who enters! Jonny.

Sweet photos! I agree with Andy about Johns photo! Good ones of u too Dave! Photographer was a really nice guy too! He liked my Super 8 camera (Y) Jonny.

Sex! Jonny.

Yea Ad, they are the best vids for curb riding by far! Will b hard to produce anything to G's standard! :) Jonny.

Does somebody want to buy me a new bike? Cos im sitting here looking at all these threads of lots of shiny new steeds, and im stuck with a pile of shit to ride... that cant actually be ridden for trials... :) Spangly new steed there Dan! Jonny.

Im up for it :lol: Jonny.

My words exactly! Nice bike dude! Im thinking of getting a T-Pro, as it's all I can afford. But they are damn good bikes for the money and Slinger was riding shit-hot on his at the Bike Show, you just couldn't keep him off the course! Get a video made of your riding dude, would be mint! Jonny.

Hell yea Lee! Seriously people, I had a quick drive in Lee's Capri and it certainly blew me away! Where shall I start... 4,2,1 performance manifold was it Lee? Full exhaust package, K+N Carb filter - not sure if it had twin webbers or not, it just goes too bloody fast! Will kick mosts cars asses! (Y) I want it.com! Jonny.

Ride still on? >_< Jonny

Well, BBC says Sunny Intervals, yet weather.co.uk says Light Rain for Soton 2moz? I think I'll most likely still come... was gonna do some work but meh, not been to Soton for ages! >_< Jonny.

Bloody hell, im no mechanic, (But Lee is - trials_pimp), and I would hate to be in your shoes at this very moment! :) :) Jonny.
