AndrewT Practice video 5

[AndyT]

Ok, so I was pissed about my first ride so I just treated myself to some standard gaybo urban. Brought along the camera. Nothing big (I think?) going on, simple editing...some might like the songs... 5 mins long, plenty of riding- possibly worth the download.

Let me know what you think-

ps... yeah I fucked up the title screen, i didn't remember which practice vid it was.

[Andreas]

holy shit your my hero! that video was sick. it seems your loads better on your xtp than your woodman. some of the gaps were insane and that beggining curb scene was pretty cool the way you figured out some lines. super sick video, hoping to see more of the sickness on your xtp soon!

by the way-at around 1 30 you did what i call a wedge. at around 4 20 into the video you did what i call a surge. any tips on either?
sick video

[AndyT]

Just pay attention to body movement, on the "surge" as you call it you can see i push my chest down to my bars then jump up as high as I can...I also release my front brake which gives me a hook effect and pulls me up without much energy - but that doesn't always hold true depending on what you are riding on.


The wedge- once you learn how to stay there for a long time without falling all over the place then you can concentrate on the actual move. I tend to preload a lot, and then the most important part is an explosive move foreward- on REALLY big wedges I shift gears with my thigh, that gives you an idea of how far your body should go before you extend with your arms.

Glad you enjoyed it.

[Patrick]

Andrew that was really cool... wow. I really liked that kick to manual up and across the sidewalk and then up to rear on the retaining wall

[Allmjm]

Once again very nice. I'm looking forward to seeing you on some more natural during a good ride. Looking good on the xtp, are you still running the 90 degree echo stem and bar or have you changed to a higher rise yet? time to watch again
Martin

[AndyT]

I would like 15 deg...still 90x10 right now however. And yeah, that xtp is a manualing machine especially with a fresh grind :rofl:

[ty]

i liked that video alot, i see your back to working on the drops to front, good work :bigthumb:

[Bloodhound]

hey Matt, please host this one!?

[WhiteRavenKS]

good stuff. the double cross shocker was top shelf. good to see you getting back into the groove. looked a lot better by the end of the flick.

[alexm]

those manual to up things were sex. youve got a very good build for trials. and im only gay if you want me to me :gaybar:

Alex

[Andreas]

speaking of gay, some guy at the airport asked me for my phone number on my way back from spring break :wtf: :greddy:

[Andreas]

that's seriously fucking gross. o well, did you at least get his phone number so you could harass the hell out of him when you got back? :owned:

[alexm]

hahaha. dont worry guyzz im not really homosexual ( gay accents are really hard to pull off on forums ) anyway, we better not take away from the post.

seriously though, you are lean and a good height. looks good to me anyway. we can continue this topic on aol if you like andrew lol.

Alex

[Matt]

I'm on vacation so the hosting thing is kinda weird right now and I'm not easy to get a hold of.

Sorry for the delay on this one guys, I'm going to bed and the video will be done uploading in 30 minutes, at 2:00AM EST. Here is where it will be.

It is 49.64mB:

Alex

[oicdn]

Nice vid :bigthumb: I enjoyed it....That gutter to 90 sidewalk was SICK :cool:

[Sonic]

effortless....youd make quick of big rocks park. :sonic:

[Elan]

i loved the double shocker, it made me feel cool. also, that is one of hte best videos, i dont know why.

[AndyT]

The shocker will evolve, just you wait...people will have heart attacks when they see the new stylz.

[Patrick]

I agree with Elan.. One of my favorite. The 90 degree gap over the grass to sidewalk was crazy

[Bloodhound]

super technical vid, really good job. I especially liked the first curb part and the cutter to 90* sidewalk, big moves.

[Andreas]

andreas, when are you comming out of the closet?
i never was/am in a closet :ugh2:

[smudge]

Nice vid, again . I liked the techie moves only slightly more than I liked your shorts :yum: :gaybar: Were you wearing those when the dude asked for your phone number? I think it's a good idea for a T-shirt even...I Ride Koxx.

[chaloux]

nevermind that post if you read it... i saw the post from Matt.

I really liked the video. it makes me want to go riding a lot

[oicdn]

Well, if you actually read the post...you'de see Matt hosted it.......

[hydroboy]

lol, look how far his legs are apart. gotta be almost 1m.

[AndyT]

my bb weighs more than your chinaman frame, and is 13" wide. Not sure why you noticed that though :ugh:



Seems the aussies are taking a liking to my body :naughty: ... I almost took my shirt off during filming, but I took a break and cooled down instead.

[hydroboy]

just when you were on the curb the first thing i noticed was how wide the pedals are apart.

[AndyT]

My pedal spindles are 8.25" apart- so add another 2 " for where I put my feet... around 10-12" apart :rofl:


BB is huge.

[oicdn]

damn...they do look pretty far spaced now that you point it out....Andrew, does that width make a HUGE difference?

[digby]

It most likely does, when I rode bmx with cranks with a huge ass spindle, it felt stable as hell because of the width, switching to the narrower bb of a road bike feels sketchier. Probably feels like riding with profiles.

[AndyT]

Huge diff I don't know..... On balancing things I don't take my leg off and put it out to balance, I just bow my knee out now. That might give you a hint?

[oicdn]

LOL....How wide was it across on your Woodman?

[Bloodhound]

wow 8.25! what is your spindle size?

[Elan]

128mm

[AndyT]

127.5? Not sure, my woodman was just 113...

[onza_tpro]

thats was fookin amzaing i loved every second of it.mint riding and im loving the KOXX.


ALEX

[AndyT]

Heres an old school pic for the aussies to wank to. Adjust your monitor for the extreme whiteness.


http://www.observedtrials.net/otn/post-9-04790-me_copy.jpg



omgz look at that definition, he must work out.

[AndyT]

Vans shoes!? Platform pedals!? Brisa bars?! Tioga rear tire!? SKate helmet? Who is that.

[Elan]

crascent frame? what a faggot..nice capriolo. ahahaha

[smudge]

Is that Eddie? The Iron Maiden mascot?

[Tanner]

nice socks, school girl.

[DangerousDave]

that crescent is a cool bike. and nice choice of parts too. cept the paint job sucks. shoulda kept the orange with racing stripes

[alexm]

adjusting the monitor isnt working, the screen is definatly white though...what do i do?!?!

[uownme]

what was the first song?

[AndyT]

modest mouse - float on. Not released...yet.

[valiumlaw]

Great video Andrew

I liked that manual to up, that 90 deg. gap and that sidehop, your choice of music couldn't have been better for the vid, where do you find that shit?
So whens fort collins trials video 4 coming out? or have i missed it? or are you working on it at the momento?

What was wrong with your lever in the vid?

Looks like your loving that XTP, way nicer than the expensive coustellier frame in my opinion.

Lol, im sure you could provide some more nutritious entertainment for the Aussies with your camcorder than some old pic

I loved that vid

good, flawless editing aswell :)

[uownme]

that song owns very much so. When is the debut?

[AndyT]

You find that kind of music by just being in the indie scene (sounds really gay to say that but its true). Fort Collins 4 has been at 3 minutes long for over a month now, it will not be released without more footage from robbie- who is still waiting on a coustellier (which no one knows where it is, 3 months later....)

Nothing was wrong with the lever, just tightening up the cable or something...right after that I figured out that my derailler wasn't even bolted on.


Modest mouse's new album Good News For People Who Love Bad News will be in stores 4/6 , float on is actually available on 7" and through that gay itunes stuff. www.modestmouse.com , it's been delayed since like fucking october . Glad someone liked the video, unlike a few canadians who make fun of me for releasing practice vids.

[MegamoMidwest]

I liked your video
