I DL all of the vids that I can, and I post replies most of the time but only for the ones that I really like, I think that on this board I posted several replies/questions regarding the Paradise Found directors cut...
I also buy vids, I've purchased the Revolution, Contact, Evolve trilogy, 2 different biketrials.com CDs, the VTCZ double CD, the first trialskings CD, a Norco VHS....
OK, so let me clarify, I think that I download EVERY vid that is posted. I have 3.71 GB of vids oh my hard drive now and I have another 15+ CDs, full of downloaded vids, and those are only the decent ones, I trash the crap vids...
Yeah, there are a lot of kids who act a fool on the UK forums but if you read the replies carefully there are also many constructive replies. Plus I've found that most of those kids only give a shit about seeing dudes do 15 foot drops to rails, they only like big urban and to them everything else is crap. Some of those retards even bitched about the recent Coustellier vids because there were no street tricks in them...need I say more...
And also the these kids desire everything for free because that is the mentality that is becoming more and more prevalent with each year...to get shit for free on line whether it be music, video, whatever...they want everything for free and it is becoming less and less important to have the actual CD or DVD for the sake of collecting.
As to why the US riders don't film as much, well, I've had this talk before and it might have something t do with the fact that most US cities have like 3 trials riders so when they get together they want to actually ride...in London or whatever there are tons of riders and there is always somebody available to film so it might simply be easier with larger groups of riders.
I'll be posting some vids soon on Engodidadidideiiidideedidee by the way.
