betterthansteve Posted April 12, 2005 Report Share Posted April 12, 2005 Was just thinking as im trying to learn sidehops it would be really usefull to have tutorial videos, preferably in slow motion, to allow less experienced riders to learn the best techniques. What do you think then Ben (N) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fairy elephants Posted April 12, 2005 Report Share Posted April 12, 2005 Yes, tutorial video's are often a good idea, I remember watching the ones one the trials works website a couple of years back, and they helped me no end... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fairy elephants Posted April 12, 2005 Report Share Posted April 12, 2005 3 words "tricks and stunts" ← Does that have a slow-mo of Craig Lee Scott side hopping? or of TRA hooking? etc... Yes, it's a great video, but i'm sure with some of the riders on the forum, we can make better more specific tutorials?! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sexymike Posted April 12, 2005 Report Share Posted April 12, 2005 i was thinkin about doin this called 'wtuk-techniques' where i would try and get the best in the uk to do things, explain how they are done in slo-mo ect. ran out of enthusiasm (sp?)

munkee Posted April 12, 2005 Report Share Posted April 12, 2005 Tricks and stunts is also becoming very outdated, yes a great video but there are so many new techniques being used now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dr. Nick Riviera Posted April 12, 2005 Report Share Posted April 12, 2005 i see what you mean , but it can still help you to learn the fundamental moves Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brian Bleech Posted April 12, 2005 Report Share Posted April 12, 2005 Great idea, if the riders would be willing to do it! (N) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
munkee Posted April 12, 2005 Report Share Posted April 12, 2005 i see what you mean , but it can still help you to learn the fundamental moves ← Definitely. It would be good to get different riders view points of the same move too. I remember reading posts ages ago about front touching when i was learning it. Someone wrote something along the lines of " your best bet is to read every scrap of information people have about the move, because it will probably be only a few words they mention that will make it go click in your head and you'll know what you've been doing wrong." A prime example is the wheel swap topic with the leaving back brake off etc which some people had never heard of, including me until i rode up north.

Matt Burrows Posted April 12, 2005 Report Share Posted April 12, 2005 Just watch videos of top riders repeatedly, thats all I do. It helps to watch videos just before you go out riding. And if your trying to learn a particular technique, just play the clip over and over again to get a mental image of what you want to do. Its all about visualisation and belief.

Brian Bleech Posted April 12, 2005 Report Share Posted April 12, 2005 Bi-King is pretty good (N) it's definatly a few steps above T+S ← true but even that doesn't have stuff like wheelswaps, taps, hooks, replacing, big side hops, stuff to front wheel, etc, etc mike Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JT! Posted April 12, 2005 Report Share Posted April 12, 2005 I think once a beginner has learnt to backhop, then they know what the need to do to go bigger. So i wouldn't say there was any need to bring out tutorial vids. Unless theres someone wanting to get into trials and has no one to teach them the basics.

Unless theres someone wanting to get into trials and has no one to teach them the basics. ← yea but to be honest im thinking this should be something a lot more advanced than learning basics. I mean they are needed but moves are so much more involved as you progress than what you learnt to back hop. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Boothy Posted April 13, 2005 Report Share Posted April 13, 2005 (edited) Im at the stage now when I want to learn stuff like that, I'm just starting to left-right, and tutorial vids would really help. Watching mates is ok, but you can't study what they do, or the technique. Perhaps instructions and a vid would be good. If someone made some it would be a great idea.

Janson Posted April 13, 2005 Report Share Posted April 13, 2005 Last Christmas, Buyall Film Productions released the first part of the Oat Pee Trilogy called School.

And if your trying to learn a particular technique, just play the clip over and over again to get a mental image of what you want to do. Its all about visualisation and belief. ← Exactly. Couldn't have said it that well myself, I remember when I had this daft idea of tryoing front hooks, I watched Hand Grenades by James about 600 times... (still couldnt even get anywhere near thou...) I think once a beginner has learnt to backhop, then they know what the need to do to go bigger. So i wouldn't say there was any need to bring out tutorial vids. ← El Bollox. OK, say he wants to learn how to backwheel using a tap, where's the simularities to a back hop in that? Or when he gets abit better, he wants to hook, how is that in anyway shape or form like a backhop? Or, Pop manuals, I dont see any back hops there... you see what I'm getting at.. You really do say some useless things... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
