A dull video of me riding down a hill slowly

I think you ideally need to over the bars on the steps at the end, and then leave the camera rolling as you curse inventively.

Nice, I enjoyed that. Where is it?

the thread title promised so much.. but then it turned out to be an attractive little vid..

Bah - looks too dusty to be fun. You need some gritty wet slop to ride in.

Even though you're as stiff as a board! it's a really nicely filmed/edited little video. Makes me want to ride my bike, which is surely the aim of all bike films!
You could perhaps up the tempo of the film a little by reducing the time from when you leave shot until you come back in again. And make sure it's always consistent.

I blinked several hundred times and still got to see an awful lot of that!
Actually rather enjoyable.

Very good mate... enjoyed that!

Not bad - suggestion would be in the editing - the video doesn't really flow as each shot starts and ends with no movement - eg the bits before you arrive in shot and the bits after you leave it. If you cut them out, it'll run much more like an action sequence which presumably is what you're after.

I've never been described as stiff before, but that's why I've done the vid - to improve! Any suggestions or tips as to how to loosen up?
Clubber, phutphut - cheers for suggestions... noted and with more editing time I'll do just that!
For those wanting to know where, sorry - its not my trail to share on an open forum. It's some super cheeky but well crafted stuff near me, but I don't want to piss the builders off by advertising it. I'll happily show you it one day though.

Nice vid! Needs more starwipes!

Very photogenic trails, nice.
You'll need to chuck in a few more sick whips and flips if you're going to get VOD on Pinkbike though.

Pook - very nice little video that! Most enjoyable!
Thanks for not broadcasting the location on an open forum - those trails have become a bit controversial recently especially with the increase in use.
In fact they've been sabotaged on a couple of occasions of late with bricks, rocks and logs etc placed across the trail so go steady on some of the blind corners.

I'd heard there where a few trail sabotage instances. oddly enough it seems to have started just after Dirt & thisisheffield did a photo shoot there.
there has also been huge amounts of trail building going on since I first rode down it.

No worries digby. Cracking stuff by the way - are you involved? What issues are you getting?

@ Pook - I'm involved in as much as I do the odd bit of trail repair & maintenance [mainly on the lower section], remove glass, rubbish & litter etc from the trail and more recently, clear the bricks, rocks, logs & branches (and once a rusty old lawnmower) that have repeatedly been strategically placed across the trails as obstructions.
I've been riding round there for many years and traffic has seemingly significantly increased recently - which is good in many respects as the paths don't get quite as overgrown! It is cyclical though. I'm not involved in any of the recent major trail building which has taken place on the top section - oddly despite the trail building & tyre ruts etc indicating more traffic I rarely see anyone on a bike.
Main issue recently has been the sabotage, which I first put down to kids mucking about as it was around the start of the holidays, however on one occasion it took me a long time to clear the trail so the effort involved to place all the bricks & branches etc meant someone wasn't keen on bikes in the area! and a couple of days later I had to clear everything off again!
Had the odd grumble from nearby allotment folk and once had a close call with a skinhead and his staffy down towards the road, but a cheerful & polite hello seem to disperse any confrontation.
Like I said these things are cyclical - and like skate spots if they become 'blown out' seemingly the best approach is to move on and ride somewhere else for a while - which I'll be doing if the sabotage keeps recurring! but would be a shame as it's part of my regular local loop!
I'm not even sure if the trail(s) classify as 'cheeky' since much of it is really post-industrial wasteland (with a couple of obvious exceptions), which is why I was so suprised at the effort someone had gone to to disuade riding round there!

Do you get a prize if you guess where it is?
Where do we send our answers on a postcard to?

I think a lot of the problem comes from it being a popular dog walking route and all of a sudden there are a lot more people riding the track and coming into it a lot faster. The damage to the big patch of bluebells near the top after the little drop probably didn't help either.

Which little drop? Off the walls?

really enjoyed that mate.
Have to take me out that way next week maybe?????????????

Dammit, I want to know where these trails are. I'm sure they're somewhere local to me (knowing where you're from Pook). It's a shame that some trails have to be kept a secret because of some folk not agreeing with these new-fangled tubes of metal with wheels on...
Lovely vid.

Nice Vid Pook.
If you are up Guiseley way again let me know and we can arrange a little trip up on't moor now I'm back riding after damaging a couple of ribs.

Pook, there was a little (about a foot) drop just after you turn in right off the main track right near the top. Haven't been up there for a while though so it might have changed. Just after that there was a large patch of bluebells that had been mostly chewed up.
