ghostrider88 Posted February 10, 2013 Report Share Posted February 10, 2013 It wouldn´t be any harder to make normal quality video, pushing one or two buttons isn´t that hard even after whole day of riding. It´s all about lack of interest obviously...Damn even Frank Chastel who is more interested in filming his shoes than his riding could make a better vid than this. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bonzojim Posted February 10, 2013 Report Share Posted February 10, 2013 Brilliant rider on 20" and 26" Not the best camera angles in the world, but I can live with that and appreciate what's he is pulling off on two wheels Nice riding Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dave33 Posted February 10, 2013 Report Share Posted February 10, 2013 I did and not only that... Did you try to give him advice on his side hop technique to by any chance? Actually iv yet to see a video you have made and put up on here. I am glad some people agree with being happy to have the opportunity to watch him ride. I also remember the days of VHS and dial up.. Bad times Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ghostrider88 Posted February 10, 2013 Report Share Posted February 10, 2013 Those VHS vids you talk about were better filmed than his vids...And that´s very sad. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bing Posted February 11, 2013 Report Share Posted February 11, 2013 he is an immensely talented rider, one of the few where it comes so naturally to him. you don't get to his level without commitment. he's a comp rider firstly, not a YouTube whore 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ali C Posted February 11, 2013 Report Share Posted February 11, 2013 Flip posted this in another topic but it's a good example that shows with a little effort even a camera on the floor can be decent. https://vimeo.com/47655766# Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Crtd Posted February 11, 2013 Report Share Posted February 11, 2013 Seriously! Do you really think, that Kenny (and the others) makes his videos by himself?! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ghostrider88 Posted February 11, 2013 Report Share Posted February 11, 2013 Seriously, do you think I care? He is world champion for gods sake, there´s a lot of fans of him who are dissapointed every time he release stupid crap like this. Like every proffesional athlete, he should start to care a little bit about fans till he have some, mostly because not many of them can afford to travel around the world to see him in person.

monkeyseemonkeydo Posted February 11, 2013 Report Share Posted February 11, 2013 From a business point of view, I'm surprised that he hasn't got more of a clue with regards promotion and the likes. From what I can tell his dad kind of created a Coustellier brand long before the brothers were at the top of their game so it's kind of odd that the brand and promotion of it wasn't pushed on him as well. As has been said, his riding is obviously immense but to make a career from trials (rather than just be successful in a competitive sense) I would have thought they'd understand the importance of promotion. Is Usain Bolt any less of an athlete because he does Virgin ads? Is Kenny stupid to have Red Bull sponsorship through self promotion (via his training) when he could've been in the woods on his own shouting at a rock that he's struggling to get up? I don't think so. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Do you really think, that Kenny (and the others) makes his videos by himself?! exactly, they are all azmazing riders in all of the vids linked to but its strange how my fav vid is just the one thats made the best, which imo is the carthy vid just lucky that the guy who made it is very good at what he does but just because thats my fav vid doesnt mean the others are shit and dont deserve any respect from us Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
