OG vids.

Those of you who were fortunate to be riding in the early 2000's were lucky enough to watch trials progress. When all the front wheel shit started happening, when trials bikes weren't pogo sticks, and when internet videos were more than just footage slapped together. These vids were, and what I today still consider the benchmark for internet videos. Enjoy what I rescued from my hard drive (fucking crash) from these glory days.

Most all of the vids on my pc are older and from that era, like the KMT_Liget vids, the epic M.G. vs. F.M. video, no pogo mission, etc. If there's anything from around that era that people are missing, I have might have it. 17.5gb worth of 2002-2006 videos.

Oh, and don't be a douchebag ******, don't stream. RIGHT CLICK, SAVE AS.

Hopefully this post will resurrect some other OGs posting up some "lost" vids. If you have any CoTrials vids, AndyT vids or WRFP vids, those are the main one I personally am after, as I lost my complete collection when my HD crashed in 07-ish.

Yes, those were the days. Downloading a video every couple of days, vs next to none now.

The Nopogo vids (does the name sound ironic now? Reason for shutting down? hmmm) were awesome, gave an insight into the trials riding scene in France.

Good job on hosting them mate!
reminds me of some awesome sites i miss these days..

nailseatrials
vtcz.ch - omg AMAZING VIDS!
trialskings - of course!!
daves trials - had an awesome review section including some of my favourite bikes of yesterday (pashley, orange, leeson, and pace!)
all the something.biketrials.com sites!
section7.co.uk

not to mention the death vids! (JJ, Steidley etc).

I lost almost 9 years of trials stuff when my hardrive crashed in 07ish too.. iv never fully recovered the whole lot. Totally agree, those were the days! I feel sorry actually for the people who missed out on learning trials on mtbs, david chain devices, el gatos and roost stems with azonic bars! Wish id kept a bike from that era.

Thanks for posting.. good little trip down memory lane :)
See less See more
if i ever make it back to america i have pretty much every og vid known to man, and will get around to putting them online one day
I have a few FTC vids but it is a huge shame that OTN doesn't host them anymore. I look through old posts and find many video links that were OTN hosted. Like old TRA videos many other nuggets of gold. I wonder if Kau has them on a hard drive somewhere & could upload them to tv.isg or some other hosting site.

Thank you Rupintart, I truly appreciate you hosting these. Feel free to upload more.
what's the music in the video Koxxdays.wmv ?

huge thanks if you find out :)

great videos btw

Loved those FTC vids. I even have some of them on a DVD somewhere I think.

I dont think OTN has them anymore though?
I can upload some others, but those are all of the colorado vids I have. I have a couple Koxx days 06 vids too...I really dunno what else to UL (I have too much!), I was just hoping to get some momentum started and have other people upload some up too!
which videos are you looking for? i have a ton that I can upload. i'm uploading a few co-trials i found. I have a lot of FTC videos too. i checked and i have 37gigs of bike videos, so hopefully I have some stuff you are looking for.
Thats awesome!! Will be saving all of these for sure. Thanks.
what's the coustscoop one? Not sure if I already have it under a different name...

most of them Error 404 - file not found :(
anyone have island style? I've been wanting to see it again after I lent it to someone and never got it back.

I know it was on here about 7 years ago for download but obviously link doesn't work anymore.

are they still showing the 404? It could be because I'm uploading 5 more gigs of videos.

it looks like the Coustscoop one is a WRFP video, I looked at it and it's actually called Coustiller Scoop, it looks like a mix of a training center and some big natural rocks.
Yeah, still 404. I'll wait till tomorrow to DL these to give your servers a break. I'm not looking for anything in particular, just looking to recover my cotrials/wrfp and tonkery films vids.

I think comcast bottlenecked me, cause now all my DL speeds are like 150kb/s on servers I KNOW that are much faster, but a bandwidth test shows me at 6Mb...I dunno wtf is going on. Fuck.
my bad guys, i had uploaded the videos to the wrong domain, i moved the videos over and they should work now. sorry about that!
good on ya cobber, I think the coust scoop one still wouldn't download.

But turns out I did have it anyway, it's got Thomas Ohler in it as well (and Jeremy Van in the background of some shots too?)

I am missing CO 8 & 13 though!
Oh shits.
I don't have any of this stuff anymore.

HUGE thanks to you folks who have sat on those files for years and are re-uploading!
Tonight is memory lane. :hs:
