RyanMcVicker Posted October 10, 2010 Report Share Posted October 10, 2010 Finally sorted through my hours of raw footage. Video includes 26" elite semi finals, some 20" elite finals, Hegedus L. training, some junior warm up, 26" elite finals and some XC & downhill footage. Also a special guest appearance by Danny Butler and Ben Slinger . Some riders in the video: Vincent, Gilles, Benito, Ben Slinger, Marc Caisso, Diaz, Kenny, Hegedus, John Webster and more. Encoding and Vimeo conversion took away alot of quality but at least the audio is still in sync and the aspect ratio is right. You can download the video if you scroll down on the right of the page. It was a great experience and pleasure to finally watch some of the riders ive been looking up to over the past years in person. I actually talked to Cesar Canas for a while along with Danny Butler, Ben Slinger and Hegedus who were and still are big inspirations of mine. Very nice, good people. It was funny how I met them, talking to these random people while watching the comp who turned out to be Slinger's parents haha.. I hope you enjoy the footage and if you feel like it's boring without audio just play some music in the background while watching or something. I remember always watching comp footage without music and I actually like it more than an edited video with music. If you know a better way to compress 720x480 4:3 miniDV footage let me know! Cheers!

Rusevelt Posted October 11, 2010 Report Share Posted October 11, 2010 Curious to know what the observer seemed to point out about the position of Gilles backwheel which wasn't allowed after he dabbed the rock. Ace vid Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ace vid I think his rear axle didn't pass through a certain marker maybe? Thanks for commenting everyone, glad you enjoy. Ryan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

max-t Posted October 14, 2010 Report Share Posted October 14, 2010 Thanks for that, it was a good watch. Kenny is the crowd favourite for sure! and it looks like he was riding well. Who won in the end? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tom Rigg Posted October 14, 2010 Report Share Posted October 14, 2010 Really enjoyed that! The editing must have taken hours... Awesome stuff. It's good to see Marc Caisso still riding extremely well, I remember watching him on his Megamo back in the day! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
