p...koxx Posted January 5, 2006 Report Share Posted January 5, 2006 I know that is why everyone is so crap when it comes to the competitions. especially the natural sections. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mike Posted January 5, 2006 Report Share Posted January 5, 2006 There are a few videos of sections, mainly comps but i think you'll just have to look around.Good luck mate! Mike!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mat Smith! Posted January 5, 2006 Report Share Posted January 5, 2006 I've got footage from some natural comps, Addingham, Shipley glen etc. Just not of me lol, and it's all quite large sections, 2-3 mins etc, and I've got a fair bit of them.Mat Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Onza T-pro Rob Posted January 5, 2006 Report Share Posted January 5, 2006 Interesting topic here mate, i would have to say i have also noticed this, but at the end of the day i think its because they want to look the best they can, i would say they could add in some sections and make the vid a little longer but its all to do with what the rider can do really.So keep a look out to see if anything changes to do with the vids, i'm sure someone will make the perfect vid your looking for.Rob.

flipkickbs Posted January 5, 2006 Report Share Posted January 5, 2006 ive seen 100's of peoples posted videos on here, and all make awesome viewing, but i have noticed they are nearly all about drops...gaps and front taps... there are hardly any, if any, sections of trials invloved... i was just wondering why this is..?? is the appeal of a 6foot drop, 6foot gap, or a 6foot front tap greater than a rocky trials section?? I'd rather see the front tap any day!!!! But seriously it can get boring just watching comp sections, street trials has more creativity rather that just riding a set out course.

Simpson Posted January 5, 2006 Report Share Posted January 5, 2006 would you want to see someone fumbling round on rocks using the crank arm and spend time getting ballence trackstands 2 wheeled stuff or just someone going up a huge rock huge sections are dull to watch in my exp. not like you can put them to music or out Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ali C Posted January 5, 2006 Report Share Posted January 5, 2006 I agree, I get very bored of vids pople just doing the same thing over and over.it doesnt need to be natual to have sections, but just that more than move per clip on street would be nice.

chris222pher Posted January 5, 2006 Report Share Posted January 5, 2006 i think sections are better to ride! for videos i think a good mix is the right thing. big drops are good to watch in moderation and even better when backed up with nice flowy sections. not nesercarily natural but not just up or down. it needs to be up down left right forward back all in one section!

ROB84 Posted January 5, 2006 Report Share Posted January 5, 2006 I think it look a lot cooler when someone cleans a section the when they do a 6ft dropRob Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fredrico Posted January 5, 2006 Report Share Posted January 5, 2006 If oyu want good natural then check out cultivated stans vids they are probably the best natural vids i have ever seen, a very clean and smooth rider Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nick Manning Posted January 5, 2006 Report Share Posted January 5, 2006 i know that there was an nbr video with some sections at portland, not all videos are gaps and drops and taps, there are some street videos that have sections on street. i do stuff like that quite alot, i find it a good laugh if ur with some mates and make out a section in the street. especially if everyhting is soaking wet Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

N.Wood Posted January 5, 2006 Report Share Posted January 5, 2006 Dunno if this has been mentioned before, but for the majority of people prefere to watch drops, big ups/gaps rather than a technical section through rocks. I have no natural near me, too... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mike Posted January 5, 2006 Report Share Posted January 5, 2006 If you think about it, most people have a lot more good street / urban areas near them, unless they live out in the country, the nearest thing to me is about 9/10 large boulders placed outside my local Aldi store. so for people to make a good video with a range of different locations on natural sections then they're going to have to get to these places, and when you want to make a video in a week or two it'll be hard to find the time / places. which is most probably why the majority of the videos you watch are street, besides personally i think big gaps and drops are more exciting!!

Smo™ Posted January 8, 2006 Report Share Posted January 8, 2006 Watching someone roll over some rocks bores the utter shite out of me (such is a typical natural video). However, comp videos such as Koxx Days (where there's a speed trial) or where pallets/skips/cotton reels are involved are awesome viewing.
