sayshell Posted June 18, 2009 Report Share Posted June 18, 2009 (edited) yeah its ironic that people complain that he does the same style. I am 100% sure if he changed his style completely and did nothing but grinds people would just say his old style was good. Point is on a forum you can't win if the guy wants to give you a negative review it doesn't matter if you bunnhop triple back flip up a 20 set. Back to the point I think this video would be better if i didn't bike. The bike is too distracting for me and I just ignore the music and ideas of the video so I didn't enjoy it and can only give a biased review. As for watching danny mac riding i was just like I dont wanna see people running id rather just watch a pure riding video.

Elliot Posted June 18, 2009 Report Share Posted June 18, 2009 That was cool and I think its great for DM and trials, but I kinda get the impression that there is some fat cat executive sitting in the background wondering how much more money he'll make out of crow baring the latest internet sensation into the music video of a band signed to him.

Wonkeysadle_rich Posted June 18, 2009 Report Share Posted June 18, 2009 (edited) I enjoyed it for the fact it had a slick look. I agree that there was pretty much no story within the video itself. But, to be honest, there are a huge amount of music videos out there that don't have a story to them. Think of how many music videos you have seen that are just the band playing!! Unfortunately that is often the way. Music videos are, on the whole, about the look. There are of course exceptions.For me, I'm really happy to see him using everything that is coming his way, to help create a new buzz around biketrials. And it's good for people who prefer comp/TGS riding too as it inevitably generates interest in that direction as well. Anyone wanting to learn the basics starts with these essential moves. They may find that generally slower, more technical riding is what they then want to do and start entering comps.Anyways, that’s my ramble. Rich CPS. Can you believe those guys actually stopped at the crossing. Ha. Edited June 18, 2009 by Wonkeysadle_rich Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mark W Posted June 18, 2009 Report Share Posted June 18, 2009 I just didnt get it .... I love Danny and his riding but the video itself seemed a bit, well, pants It was just some kids running about pretending to chase danny ? I just thought it was a bit amateurish as far as a music video goes ... Still - All good for DM + Trials exposure ... I just expected more ...I know what you mean. It did seem pretty amateur in fairness, it just didn't make any sense... Just sorta seems like they wanted to capitalise on an 'internet phenomenon' and make their video popular, but it just was... 'meh'.It did clear some things up though - I was riding the blue banks in that video with a bunch of the top pros who ride for Seventies (i.e. they're all really, really f**king good), and Danny appeared. He went off with Dave Sowerby to have a bit of a cruise around the area, and the production van and crew showed up. They asked if we were going to leave any time soon, and we explained we had some lines to film then we were gone. They told us they wanted to film without us there because they thought that we'd "Show Danny up". Although some of the riders there were capable of doing that (Not that they would've tried to, obviously), it seemed kinda strange to me, but from the sorta whack stuff they asked him to do I can kinda see how Derek Strickland doing a 270 whip over the hip at blue banks would make someone backhopping in a circle seem kinda average.

craigjames Posted June 18, 2009 Report Share Posted June 18, 2009 Nice riding, extremely bizarre video. All the same its some damn good coverage for Danny and trials in general Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mark W Posted June 18, 2009 Report Share Posted June 18, 2009 Hey, wow there now... Just don't forget where you are Mr Westlake!!I'm not saying that's all that Danny is capable of, but if they were filming him doing that backhopping bit or whatever it was he did there, and in shot you could see someone boosting that hip or doing some other tricks, it's going to make him look shit, isn't it? Not because he's shit obviously, but just because of what he's being made to do. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mark W Posted June 18, 2009 Report Share Posted June 18, 2009 On the plus side, they didn't make him take his front wheel off and backhop around the place or anything too gay like that... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hannah Shucksmith Posted June 20, 2009 Report Share Posted June 20, 2009 (edited) I actually really enjoyed watching that to be honest...“Doing the Doves video was fun because I like the band,” he said. “I only do this because I enjoy riding my bike. I knew people involved in trial biking would enjoy the video but to have people like Lance Armstrong commenting on it is amazing.” Edited June 20, 2009 by Hannah Shucksmith Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TrialsMan Dan Posted June 20, 2009 Report Share Posted June 20, 2009 It was a bit weird, looked like a typical Friday night in Glasgow . Its good to see Danny in a different style of video, but the last few minutes of it looked rather like his current video with the traffic lights and all haha.

Rago muffin Posted June 20, 2009 Report Share Posted June 20, 2009 just watched this a second time... liked it alot more, i guess from a none trials perspective this would quite a poetic thing, not too much depth to it but then again its just a music video, props to danny i saw him while they were shooting and he was out till 6am shooting this! haha bit of history in that vid aswell cus that estate will be knocked down soon!
