Andreas Practice Video #1

[Andreas]

Hey, I just finished my first practice video. It has some tips and pointers, which are in the "big subtitles" version. However, because i had to make the letters bigger, the riding / overall quality seems to be not as clean. I reccommend you download the "no subtitles" version if you just want to look at some riding (poor riding at that)
I'm 14 and have been riding for 1 1/2 years.
It's my first shot at making a video (No pun intended), so feel free to give pointers and critisicms on how to make it better.
Also, any comments I can get on my riding would be great.

If there's enough interest I will make another video tommorow at a different location? :dunno:
Thanks

as you said, bigger subtitles would be useful because at the moment the text is encoded into an unreadable smudge

make some MPG for the macintosh users!

Blargh
two versions will be up. one thats nice and clean, no captions. one that has huge captions.
hophopsnap-Right now I just finished the third version of this video, i can't be arsed to resave and re-upload again. maybe tommorow :dunno: I will get it done sometime though

[hophopsnap]

cool video andreas, you have good style and do moves smoothly.
as the others have said, the captions are small, but readable if i try hard enough. but you have taken care of that, so it's no problem now.
good stuff.

My suggestion is to try using the AVI format (compressed with either DivX or Xvid)
Yeah they are usually bigger, but the quality is soooo much better than mov, wmv or mpg

pretty sweet vid, u got skills, a little repetative at times, but good style. u should cut ur steerer tube man, dont u hit ur knee on that big lump sometimes?

Next time i will try and save in Avi. Any more comments?

I kinda expected shitty ridding for some reason, was very impressed. good style.
Didnt bother to read the captions though.

Nice video Andreas, you're pretty good for only having ridden 1.5 years. I like how you practice a lot of different ways to get up the same thing, thats smart riding and shows you are working hard to improve. Keep it up!
