Laurence--Trials Posted November 17, 2011 Report Share Posted November 17, 2011 (edited) Some of you may know pinkbike do “Movies for your Monday” so as its all dark and cold.. I thought I’d do a movie for your Friday. I chose Friday because more riding happens over the weekend, so I thought Friday would be more appropriate motovation wise. So over the past few weeks I’ve been collecting trials videos TF may not have seen, seen in a while, been looking for or whatever to keep you guys entertained and motivated during the winter. Just thoughts on me doing this to start with? First few videos will be posted tomorrow, was thinking 4 videos per week, too many? Not enough? Would appreciate it if people didn’t slate to be honest. Videos: Week 1. 1: 2: 3: 4: Edited November 17, 2011 by Laurence--Trials 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Laurence--Trials Posted November 17, 2011 Author Report Share Posted November 17, 2011 Good, i thought some people would. I've currently got 4 videos each friday is that too little too many or just right? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Linus Posted November 17, 2011 Report Share Posted November 17, 2011 I'm thinking make it two. Otherwise I think it's a great idea, go for it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Laurence--Trials Posted November 17, 2011 Author Report Share Posted November 17, 2011 I've currently got 4 movies a week, for the next 4 weeks, already done that... got a mix of street and pure trial. Glad people like the idea Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ali C Posted November 17, 2011 Report Share Posted November 17, 2011 The whole point about their feature is that it's new videos from that week that have been posted that people might have missed. Because there are so many media outlets for 'normal' MTB stuff it's easy to miss, so they collate the best to give people a decent selection of them. For trials, there are only a couple of places videos get posted (this forum being one of the main ones) so there might not be quite the same requirement, plus planning up to 4 weeks ahead seems a little strange as by that time you'd hope there'd have been some better videos posted somewhere. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Laurence--Trials Posted November 17, 2011 Author Report Share Posted November 17, 2011 (edited) Its just on a word doc' so if new ones do come out they can easily be changed.. either way its just to keep people motovated, no harm in that eh? Week 1 now up. Edited November 17, 2011 by Laurence--Trials Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Luke Rainbird Posted November 17, 2011 Report Share Posted November 17, 2011 Seems a tad redundant, what with the most popular recent vids staying at the top of the forum and all? Edit; I see, you're after older vids. Fair 'nuff. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bike_dummie Posted November 18, 2011 Report Share Posted November 18, 2011 I think this is a great idea, I also think you should stick with 4 videos or maybe include some mtb bmx ect, as said above there isn't much trials content and more than likely people would have seen at least one of those videos. Maybe people can vote the best videos to go in here, just a thought? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JD™ Posted November 18, 2011 Report Share Posted November 18, 2011 If I were you, I'd set this idea up as a blog if you really want to go through with it - then just chuck a thread in the Website Update subforum and let people know when you upload some more links to videos. Otherwise it'll just get too messy to anyone just wanting to watch vids, because there'll be replies in between and no doubt arguing as to whether it's a good idea or not.

Hit up wordpress.com and set yourself up an account - it's as easy as posting on a forum. You can get all in depth and whatnot, but there's no real need to at the start.

Mark W Posted November 18, 2011 Report Share Posted November 18, 2011 Might be a good idea to put a little bit of info with the videos, rather than just putting the video itself up (at least the riders in it, title of video, where it's from, etc.).

Laurence--Trials Posted November 18, 2011 Author Report Share Posted November 18, 2011 it's not friday Was only half an hour or so early, anyway it is now.

Will do both of those when i have some free time thanks for input. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
