1a2bcio8 Posted January 5, 2011 Report Share Posted January 5, 2011 (edited) Another short vid. Worse than the last for various reasons. The style I'm after really hasn't gone down beyond the first few clips from about 3 weeks ago so not feeling very satisfied with things at the moment.

CroTrials Posted January 5, 2011 Report Share Posted January 5, 2011 Love the style! That first clip with the x-up is awesome, and the manual combinations are fun to watch! Is that a inspired? What gear ratio do you ride? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sam Nichols Posted January 5, 2011 Report Share Posted January 5, 2011 I find it hard to understand quite what it is that you're looking for that makes you unhappy with this. I loved it, it had just the right vibe for me. I think you're being tough on yourself. The riding is fluid. The lines are imaginative. The audio just feels right. It's solid.

craigjames Posted January 5, 2011 Report Share Posted January 5, 2011 Ben, hard on him self?! Never! Just watched this on FB, really enjoyed it mate. Ben you don't have to seek perfection to improve, it's nice that you're making some imaginative, well edited videos; fresh. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JD™ Posted January 5, 2011 Report Share Posted January 5, 2011 If this was anyone else I'd be shouting off about you been an attention seeking little child. As it is, I seriously believe you aren't happy with this, so I watched it with an overly critical hat on and still couldn't find enough to make this a disappointing vid - and I'm a critical arsehole. Ben, you are talented, roll with it! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1a2bcio8 Posted January 5, 2011 Author Report Share Posted January 5, 2011 (edited) I was in one of my random negative moods last night otherwise I wouldn't have said that. Although, even now, I see much room for improvement. I know how I want my riding to be and I achieved it in some of those clips. But in others there's too much wobble, hopping about, etc. This is just my approach to riding and what makes sense to me. It sets the challenge that drives me to improve. Negative mindsets aside, I really enjoy riding in this way. Just ignore me when I whinge about it I was also a little frustrated about the editing. I was using a trial version of sony vegas. Between that and my computer being too slow to handle the video clips that come from my camera I can't really do much in the way of editing. All I can do is 'jerkely' chops the clips down to remove excess moments. That tune had some good potential for dancing around with the riding. As it stands, that didn't happen Anyway, thanks for the comments Edited January 5, 2011 by Ben Rowlands Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ben_travis Posted January 5, 2011 Report Share Posted January 5, 2011 (edited) Brilliant vid Ben. Hoping I can have half your style on my new bike. Curved manual to fakie manual was sweet but not as sweet and smooth as that fakie manual to wheelie to up to back. Really good Edited January 5, 2011 by ben_travis Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bikeperson45 Posted January 5, 2011 Report Share Posted January 5, 2011 I love how your short one and a half minute videos are better than the majority of these 4 minute ones. It's like your packing the short time with awesomeness. I expect I'll be watching that numerous times Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
