Tioz Posted May 7, 2011 Report Share Posted May 7, 2011 (edited) Hei guys I'm new First, a bit of background: I'm 20 and have never ridden trials before, I've been riding XC oriented towards freeride and for the three last months BMX in London; now I'm living in Dublin I'm very methodical with what I do and have always been fascinated by trials riding so today I had an idea In a few days I'm getting my new (well for me at least) MAD Phase 1.3 and I thought "why not document my progress week by week?" I thought of filming myself every week doing similar techniques and obstacles (obviously if I learn something new I'll film that too) to keep track of how I'm progressing and also help others that are just on their first legs and perhaps in some time look back and smile at how awful I was Do you find this could be interesting or useful?

Dušan Posted May 7, 2011 Report Share Posted May 7, 2011 It might be quite interesting but i dont think it will be useful... atleast not in the beginnings maybe when you will ride better it will help beginners... But i think it could be nice to watch it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But i think it could be nice to watch it I think it could be useful..a beginner could compare himself to another beginner..you only see videos of guys who rip it, around and nothing you can compare yourself to do it i filmed myself since i started pretty much and although no body watches the vids i do and it's good to look back on yourself yeah I think it will be fun to watch myself even just in a few months Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bikeperson45 Posted May 7, 2011 Report Share Posted May 7, 2011 you only see videos of guys who rip it, around and nothing you can compare yourself to I disagree with that part, there's tonnes of beginner videos compared to the small minority of amazing videos. But still, go for it might as well. I'd like to have some footage of me starting out and looking back thinking what a noob I was (am...). Make sure you don't want to make them long though, a minute video once a fortnight would work better then making a 3 minute long one of someone learning to trackstand, not many people want to watch that.
