Phatmike In London

Hey guys,

I just received a short edit from a ride in London couple of weeks ago. It was just me riding on my own, but bumped into a pretty cool parkour team and a video crew. They got a few shots and clearly had some fun editing it. No massive riding, but a bit of fun. Check it out:

Thanks for the comments guys.

The bus line was one of those ones where there was no thought process involved whatsoever. I was riding that spot for about half an hour before the parkour guys rocked up, then I saw them do the rail line up to the bus shelter and instinctively followed! Only spotted the drop gap to the bollard once I was up there, haha.

I'm glad there's split opinions on the editing style! We're a long way off making a video that's gonna please everybody. I like the closeups, and we'll be experimenting with those more in future vids - get some cool closeups of tyres squidging, brake pads gripping & riders gurning!

Editing was the most irritating thing I've ever seen, looked like it was done by a 13 year old who'd just discovered the filter section for the first time. Same with the angles really, just seemed like how I imagine a young teenager would make a trials film when given an assignment to make a "wicked cool extreme sport film". Loads of wacky angles and crazy effects, ignoring the actual content on display.

Good riding though, some of the lines were great.

I'm with you on this one. There was just too much going on. Too much flashing and jumping from one shot to another. I think that style of editing would be great for an intro of some kind but not a whole video.

I thought the riding was really good would have been nice to have seen it properly.

First time I've seen you ride and f**k me it was impressive.

You haven't seen that then?

Your style has definitely changed Mike :S I dunno if the frames different geo or if it's the white frame, but you don't look as stylish and poised as you did on the red 1.3.'Ivor Way' good riding going down as per usual :) Having said that I have to agree with Dan Clark on the edit. Didn't quite do it for me .
