Fort Collins trials FIVE

[AndyT]

Filmed after a while, if you don't like natural skip the first song...if you get bored just go to the last one for some big drops (ie british people) :hsugh:

Havent watched it yet, already know that it will probably = :bowdown: will edit.

[Ross]

Damn, that was good. That Horsetooth place looks like an incredible place to ride. We dont have places like that here in tornado alley.:wtc:

[AndyT]

Yeah, its actually the whole first song- then the end of the second song and the stuff in the third song as well....all the same place- about 6 different kinds of terrain. The only thing we don't have a lot of is logs :wtc:

[average mike]

Is the first song off antics? That was pretty sweet. Both the large drops were insane, as well as some of the natural moves. :bigthumb:

[AndyT]

Yes its off antics. I would appreciate it if no one identified the other songs, if you want to know PM me :momaru:

[redworm]

That was a good video. Graham goes big!

[RomanC]

Nice video and good music. I envy you guys since you have so many nice natural sections. Good riding from evrybody.

[Allmjm]

[oicdn]

Sick vid....the riding was awesome. I wish to be able to up that high one day (the wall where he tapped it)

[netto]

i wanna come to colorado:(

[Elan]

DO IT! i have yet to DL this video, i have never seen it before.

[netto]

im actually looking for sumwhere to go in the winter
does it snow there?

[AndyT]

Not too often.

[netto]

hmmmm............................................. .................................................. ...

[cogmog]

Andrew: Me and Tina should be movin back sometime next year!

[hophopsnap]

Not as good as FTC4..but still alot better then I could ever do.

[BrettM]

Pretty rad video. I never noticed something until this video tho. I have never thought of someone as having a style behind the camera and what not, and have never picked one out, but for some reason Andy has a style. Its a compliment by the way, I'm sure you might not be aware you have a camera style either.

On a side note Elan's Type R has absolutely nothing on Metchosin Joe's Type R from a few years back.

[ty]

that vid was great, makes me want to ride the tooth :drool:

Thanks Brett, I do feel I have a different filming and editing style than a lot of people- really appreciate the comment and I'm glad someone noticed :)

[AndyT]

that vid was great, makes me want to ride the tooth :drool:
We are riding tomorrow (wednesday) up the tooth, south end (past the furthest dam) at around 4:30-5 :)

[Orkje]

Natural terrain looks :p indeed!
Great filming, too!

[AgrAde]

nice riding, nice video.

what went wrong on the very last drop? just big drop to slanty or eh?

[AndyT]

his hand fell off hte bar, that was the end of a ~5 hour ride :o

[smudge]

Holy crap and stuff. Nice vid Andrew. I enjoy your camera angles. I can't comment on the music because I watched it mute so as not to draw suspicion to my cube.

I've been sufficiently impressed with Grahams riding abilities, especially considering the relative short period he's been riding (or is that misinformation?)

as a side note, there seems to be significantly more natural terrain around FTC than I was able to find around Portland. Although I imagine it's hard to find decent surf around FTC...decisions :dunno:

Hey Sean, I'm from Portland. The place rocks.....not so much rocking for natural trials though. However, if you look past trials...the place is the best place to live in the US........


That was a completely objective statement :)

On topic: You rocked in the vid Graham.

Off: After just spending 10 days driving around to see and experience as much as I could in that area, I have to agree. I'm working with recruiters and sending out resumes to people in the area.

I went to Cannon Beach, Ecola St. Park, Hood River, Hood, Rainier, Seattle, Sisters, Bend, St. Helens, the lava tunnels and everywhere in between all those places and have to say it's one of the most naturally beautiful areas I've ever seen. Each area is impressively different too.

If all goes well, I'll be out there by wintertime.

[B-boy]

Cool vid! Really enjoyed it, thanks a lot Andrew. That line on the edge of the cliff was scaring me though :eek:

[redworm]

not to mention that it was a huge drop to a pretty steep transition. I like the part with elans scary face running toward the camera, I thought the editing was very good at that point.

[AndyT]

Riding again this weekend if you want to come up player.

[Totaltrials]

loving the new technique of sidehop tap, lol

phil.

[AndyT]

Feel free to use it phil :) You can actually hear it go "smack" w/o the music on, hilarious.

[valiumlaw]

I liked that video alot.
How long does it take you to chose the songs you use? I thought the combination you chose was good/great, like in most of your videos, surpise, surprise. Can you pm me their names? Especially the first one.
The timing of the reverse cycling tandem was really good, i think thats one of your traits as a video editor, adding some extra originality, kind of artistic.

Is Elan actually dead?

What happened with the ending? Was that a lazy finish? I think the ending could have been improved on, it was kind of sudden and simple.

These were the things that popped into me head directly after, and during watching the video, hence the un-conversational reply above, sorry for that.

[AndyT]

it was like 10 minutes long, my comptuer can't handle editing videos that long.

It takes me anywhere from 1 second to 3 hours to find a song.

PM me if you want the names.

Elan is missing.

The ending happened because my computer can't handle a longer video without dieing.


?????? what else do you want.

Thats all thanks, i understand the ending now. Thankyou.

[Elan]

i missing my skills....i lost them all....oh noes.


i ahve no idea where that came from .

[MegamoMidwest]

music choice was spot on, my favourite part was the one that started with the big loading dock up thing. That song/point in the movie was very good.

you know a movie is good when you dont really notice the transitions, and so therefore I must say that that was a very good movie. transitions especially unnoticable when it had the 'long way' with the arrow pointing down flashing black then white, you probably dont have a clue what I am saying but anyways, great movie.


cool logo too by the way.

[AndyT]

thanks its new. I know what you are saying, I don't just put clips together randomly when I make these :o

[Elan]

aTF makes the best films ever IMHO. he has a knack for it, i have seen him at work. its good stuff. maybe ill actually be able to ride by the time ftc 6 rolls around? probably not though.

[AndyT]

why can't you rideOr?

[Elan]

becuase i lack teh skillz for video worthyness....at the rate graham/robbie/cole are progressing, ill be lucky if i get a drunk scene in the next film. bahahaha.

Stop trying to get people to pitty you, it takes different people different amounts of time to learn. "Dont think about the score card, think about the technique"

or in translation "Dont think about the size of the moves, think about the movement"

[tomacropod]

um...I think he realises that dude. He doesn't expect anyone to pitty (sic) him.
