Leaps And Bounds


Brian Bleech

Recommended Posts

This is the second film in the Leaps and Bounds series by Brian Hong. It was just released a few days ago. The first one was released over four years ago. I ordered my copy yesterday from www.thetrialsinshop.com, but it is also available through the wesite leedstrials posted at the beginning of this thread.

I've seen this and its absolutly amazing!

Cinematography in it is sooooo good! Tells the story very well and get to see some different kinds of footage compared to the typical internet videos (and to some extent, other dvd's).

So I give it a (Y)

I got my copy after a short wait (it is from CA lol). If im honest, anybody who is interested in starting Trials and watches this, they will turn it off after the first 5mins. Im sorry if im being arsehole-like about it, but I didn't like it... at all! Ive not yet checked the extras out, but its way too slow paced, some shots are nice, but its so bloody boring! I found myself just flicking through chapters, head in hand. I think I just prefer something more fast-paced. Obviously im probably one of only a few people who doesn't like it and LOADS will love it. The only criticism is that its too slow and theres too much black video, you dont pay for black video, sorry. :(

I was seriously impressed with the overall quality of the DVD! I would say the filming is similar to Manifesto (its the same guy after all) and the content is really interesting for the more experienced rider. Theres not LOADS of riding in it, but the interviews are excellent and the riding shown is awesome too.

Personally I would say the filming and editing is waayy above Trial Noir and at least on a par with GET (although I have only seen GET once).

Desmond's a really cool guy and has been extremely helpful (he's even let us link to the trailer on his site, using his bandwidth!) so I second what Dave says :P

Adam

Edit: Just watched the extras... Benito is a monster and Adam Burns' drop... :o

Best trials DVD to date i think! Filming is very good indeed, theres two angles of alot of stuff which is cool. The interviews are also really interesting and you dont often get to see that side of things. Amazing riding too, from the likes of Cousts, Hermance, Kenny and Benito etc..
