I just watched the .mov one. I watched as it streamed. :)

Was f**king awesome. Some of those tricks were f**king insane, and yey for bongo. :D Some of those bails where f**king harsh too, jesus. :)

Awesome, really, really, awesome.

Argh! There are two links, which one to choose? :) What one are you talking about J? Ill get both, but which one is the better of the two?

Like Si said, get the .mov version - smaller file size. Its dead good quality so you can easily stretch the window. I recommend downloading it though, not streaming it as you can watch it again and again and again and.... ye get me? :)

.mov = QuickTime (just so you know) Problem? Click Me.

Just awesome how Rankin can adapt his shooting and interview style to TV as well as DVD's etc.

EDIT: The .m4v file is the real broadcast version, with countdown clock and everything. Proper 4:3 size so you get the Widescreen Letterbox - higher quality too?

Awesome comp, wish I'd gone now, didn't realise aitken and wade were going to be there.

Nice to get a preview before we see it on extreme no doubt.

No offence to the commentator geez, but how does he always get the job, he commentates at the X Games and Gravity aswell, and he has the wierdest voice ever.

Anyway, sick ass vid

He commentates on loads of other comps too, it's nuts! Just seems to be "Mr. BMX" almost :) Weird. His name's Paul Roberts, or "g-bags" or whatever you want to call him, pretty much.

Waiting for it to DL now, tail waggin'. Only 86kb/sec which is a bit arse, but meh.

Backyard was great, so another reminder can't hurt :)

EDIT: Just got it now. That vid was really, really good. Some of the harshest slams I've ever seen there, but yeah, well worth the download. It's weird how almost 2 months on it still brings back all the feelings I had when I was there, just the whole "f**k yeah!" moment of Gary Young getting the wallride to whip, etc.

So good :D

That was a great video :P

Nothing more to say about the video really, but I want to know:

The video is 26mins long, the quality to be fair is very good as far as internet video's go, the file size is only 96mb! Every one of the (limited) Quicktime videos I have downloaded recently have a stupidly good quality to file size ratio! Why are more people not using quicktime?

grotbags gets the crowd going like nobody else can. If he wants you to go wild, you go wild in the crowd. If he wants the rider to go wild, he does something special with his voice and you somehow feel obliged to ride amazing!

He is to bmx what murray walker was to F1, in that he knows every single rider, and everything about them. He IS a rider, and knows everything about riding, so is accurate. He is the best, thats why he is the voice of every big contest worldwide :P :P

Downloading now.....

because the only way to get decent qt (preferrably the new h264) quality is by exporting it in final cut pro, avaliable on macs only.. ive tried using quicktime pro, but i have yet not had any half-decent resuts of it.. it's weird, when looking at uncompressed dv in media player, it looks ace, but in QT it looks shoddy. if people learnt how to do it properly though, it'd be cool. people use wmv/mpg more often, because it's so much easier.. nowadays, there are plenty of divx/xvid tutorials out, so people start using that more frequently aswell.

Cos the frame sizes are very small. Plus I think Rankin uses Final Cut Pro and I recon theres loads of settings on there to fiddle with. Im getting a G5 Quad soon with luck, so all my stuff with be QuickTime.

Bongo, how'd if feel to be on TV? :P

You have to either edit it on a mac, or buy Quicktime Pro and convert it. Most people use Adobe Premier or WMM...

Downloading video. :P

this looks great, watched first 5 mins, gonna watch the rest in bed in a bit ^_^

paul roberts is a biking legend :P used to kick ass on a bmx or mtb. his crash at the end of one of the sprung vids, when his forks broke :P

Yeah I remember him from Sprung.

Haz, you can export as QuickTime in Premiere 6.5 and/or Premiere Pro as well as FCP.

He is the man, look what we got at the bikeshow=some fat guy who knew f**k all! Thank god that Chris Ratcliff was there to save what dignity was left in trials.

What was up with Baz Keeps cockiness though!

From my interpretation of it, it just seemed like he was having a laugh really. He did sorta laugh at one point when he was saying it, and he seemed to be struggling to keep a straight face?

Meh, who knows :$
