tomturd Posted February 6, 2008 Report Share Posted February 6, 2008 Been thinking on and off about this for a while. Its been ages since the last 'official' comp (years maybe?)What does everyone think to the idea of making technical guide style videos? A bit like Inur's bleed video, but for moves. Would mean everyone would have a chance of winning, as it would be based on the quality of the explanation of the move rather than the riders ability/the move being described. It'd also be a great resource for TF to help out people who are learning.Heres Inur's to give you an idea, Trials-Forum Video -> Full View • Download • Upload Thoughts?

Conor the basher. Posted February 6, 2008 Report Share Posted February 6, 2008 hmm yeah sounds like a good idear to me Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lankyri Posted February 6, 2008 Report Share Posted February 6, 2008 thats a really good idea espiecally (sp) when newbs keep asking for advice on working on there bikes Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave@Trialtech Posted February 6, 2008 Report Share Posted February 6, 2008 (edited) I like it! Great idea Tom.I think it would really help a lot of new riders as you say, and probably bring out some video editing skills people didn't realise they had! Would it be 'best video over all' wins or would it be 'best video of a particular move' wins, meaning there would be multiple winners?

Simpson Posted February 6, 2008 Report Share Posted February 6, 2008 So you mean more likeWheelie HopPedal hopGapTapTechniquies rather thanBleedingFitting headsetbike maintanance?Sounds like a good idea to me! i know i could do most how to bike maintanance guides, but moves would be a really hard thing to word lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Whatever people would prefer? Could have 2 'categories' - eg 1. Bike Maintenance and 2. Technique. Should hopefully be able to scab some prizes from somewhere Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

STEVE-0 Posted February 6, 2008 Report Share Posted February 6, 2008 Sounds awesome, shall we start filming? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tomturd Posted February 6, 2008 Author Report Share Posted February 6, 2008 Sounds awesome, shall we start filming?Might be worth waiting around until plans are finalized. If you just can't wait though, the one definite rule I can think of at the moment is to wear a helmet.Thinking about it, maybe with the shite weather at the moment it might be worth doing mechanical guides first? Something that can be done in a shed/garage/living room (if your inur) while its dark and raining outside? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave@Trialtech Posted February 6, 2008 Report Share Posted February 6, 2008 Might be worth staggering the competitions? Do a mechanic type one imminently and then a technique after that so entries are done in time for summer, so people wanting to really progress their riding when the weather is good enough can watch the technique vids?

anzo Posted February 11, 2008 Report Share Posted February 11, 2008 (edited) What about slideshows aswell as movies? For maintenance only...for obvious reasons. Edited February 11, 2008 by anzo Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tomturd Posted February 11, 2008 Author Report Share Posted February 11, 2008 What about slideshows aswell as movies? For maintenance only...for obvious reasons.Yep that would be just as handy Haven't bumped this for a while as I thought I'd let the kerb comp/pidgeon comp finish first. Once they're out the way I'll start getting stuff properly sorted. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Once they're out the way I'll start getting stuff properly sorted.Ok, thats over now. And the suns come out.Who's up for this? I'll be sending a few emails to see if I can sort out some prizes if there's much interest. Think of it as a warm up to the summer spectacular video competition.Any ideas? Anzo, slideshows sounds like a good idea, ideal for people without access to a video camera Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Al_Fel Posted March 31, 2008 Report Share Posted March 31, 2008 Sounds like a great idea. I missed this thread the first time around. I think it would be a great help to everyone I like the idea of maintanance vids they could prove to be very usefull. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ash-Kennard Posted March 31, 2008 Report Share Posted March 31, 2008 ill do one for taps Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Luke Rainbird Posted March 31, 2008 Report Share Posted March 31, 2008 ill do one for tapsI'll watch that then Sounds good though, maintenance should be particularly useful for the newer members, and those that often rely on bike shops to do work which, with a little know how, can be done yourself Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joe Aston Posted March 31, 2008 Report Share Posted March 31, 2008 sounds like a plan was thinking about this when i was building my new bike the other day.Just got to pick something that im good at doing matinece wise i have no idea how to explain how to do moves i just sort of do it.Joe Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sidehop Posted March 31, 2008 Report Share Posted March 31, 2008 Take it we all have to allocate ourselfs a move? be better that way yeah?If so ill take sidehops...Go some good ideas going here. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
txt2007 Posted March 31, 2008 Report Share Posted March 31, 2008 I could do a video on how to fall off or a how not to do a trick 'cept it's be poo because i could fall off just riding to asda Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tomturd Posted March 31, 2008 Author Report Share Posted March 31, 2008 Take it we all have to allocate ourselfs a move? be better that way yeah?If so ill take sidehops...Go some good ideas going here.I don't really see how it'd be better. To use an extreme example, if I allocated myself taps, and nobody else could do it themselves, then basically we'd end up with a shite video 'cos I can't tap. BUT, if a few people had a go, then theres a better change there will be a decent video submitted.My current thoughts are....3 categories, Beginner, Intermediate, Advanced. Split each of those into different moves, egBeginnerBunnyhopTrackstand.....IntermediateBackhopGap.......AdvancedTaps........etc...Prizes for best video in each category. Enter as many videos for each category as you want.Onions? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rolo Posted March 31, 2008 Report Share Posted March 31, 2008 Hey guys,to be honest I thought that last idea with the categories has been the best idea so far, because you can't really expect a beginner to learn how to tap or sidehop straight away. Because obviously the basics come first, so yer they are my thoughts!Hope this helps guys....rolo! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
