I've made a MTB video of me and my friends riding at local places- Holmbury Hill and Hydons Ball, what do you think?

Sorry about the quality, my camera's rubbish to start of with, but the quality gets worse with converting the video clips and uploading it. Hope you enjoy!

    Thanks :) I like the song, it goes well with it- it's from the mt.7 phsycosis bit of seasons
  • It's a bit repetitive. Nowt wrong with the riding. But if you want to hold people's attention then you need to mix it up a bit.

    I don't want to see someone do the same jump 10 times. Once is enough. Unless you mix in something else. Same with the trails. The angle for Barry knows best was good (in contrast to the other trails). One run, followed by someone else from another angle, a couple of jumps and so on would be good.

    Just a bit of constructive criticism for future reference :)

    Sometimes shorter is better.

    Nice, Barry's is a great trail, should get some film of the huge berm just before the bit you are filming too.

    A vid with me in on Barry's, filmed by Popstar, I'm in the shirt with yellow and pink bits on the back

    Man, I need to get back to BKB- I don't think I've been down it in a year or so. Can't wait to have a shot at the new berms, they look a little less death-grip inducing than the old finish

    Was it shot with the same camera your Dad used to shoot porno in 1979? :p

    Some nice angles there. Some good riding too. Keep it up :)

    it's cool man, but yeah like some of the other posters, go for quick cuts of the BEST bits and get it all pumping to music and even if its 20 seconds someone's gonna spill their coffee in their lap in web-video-awe!
