spode@thinkbikes Posted August 25, 2006 Report Share Posted August 25, 2006 Hi Guys,Just finished off a new video. It's the first one that I've edited (Dave did the last one). It's footage from some recent demos rather than street stuff. Obviously this is a promotional video, so it's pitched at non-trials riders. So there is a chance you won't enjoy it. But hey, it's only 3:18 long. I've put a high res, DivX encoding online and I've put it on YouTube for some low quality streaming. http://www.thinkbikes.com/videos.php - thinkbikespromo2.aviLet me know what you think!Spode Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

spode@thinkbikes Posted August 25, 2006 Author Report Share Posted August 25, 2006 I think Dave is still getting used to the KOT (they are the short KOT's btw), but I'm quite comfortable on mine now. I know a few guys said it would screw up our rather "old school" style of riding, but it hasn't at all. It's a lot easier on the back wheel though!! And both bikes are completely silent thanks to the dual discs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rickycoleman Posted August 25, 2006 Report Share Posted August 25, 2006 Looks like a really cool rig, However one thing i noticed, was that you need more riders, As Theres so much stuff to ride but only two of you...Having a few more riders would create a bit more excitment. But the vid was pretty good, what about creating a 1 minute long teaser with a heavy sort of song and some big moves, as big moves tend to catch the publics eye mroe than tech moves, i.e Front wheel moves.....

spode@thinkbikes Posted August 25, 2006 Author Report Share Posted August 25, 2006 What would you describe as a "big" move?We really like the whole matching bike thing. And the discs are really quiet. Most riders have really noisy rim-brakes, which just sounds awful. We do have a couple of riders we are using at some demos, but for the video I didn't want a hodge-podge of bikes on there. I'm hoping to get some budget soon to buy a few KOT frames and give to the riders we want to use more often. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

spode@thinkbikes Posted August 25, 2006 Author Report Share Posted August 25, 2006 Yeah, I've not moved it on to my new server yet, it is running a little slow. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rickycoleman Posted August 26, 2006 Report Share Posted August 26, 2006 When I say big move, I mean something which the public see as a big move, Drops and gaps always go down well, Fast exciting stuff. for example going to front wheel down a ramp is vey impressive, But to the public, It dosent look good atall.I understand why you want matching bikes there, But also having more riders will increase the variety of moves and constanly give people something to look at, I wish i was one of your riders if your going to be giving out free frames Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spode@thinkbikes Posted August 26, 2006 Author Report Share Posted August 26, 2006 Are you any good I see what you mean and I partly agree with you. But I think you'd be surprised. To the average punter, they are just as impressed if you get up a 2 foot wall as a 4 foot. It's also surprising how many LITTLE things people like, like just rolling backwards even though you have a freewheel, or track standing, or roll backs down a slope on the front wheel.People do like drop offs though, I'll give you that much. When we get a trailer, we'll probably integrate that in to it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
