[Closed] Ed Oxley , The Chop

Hipflask and power tools.

Too man 🙂

A strange looking fella making a strange type of mtb video??

Got boring very quickly sorry.

Errr is it just me it was that just a bit rubbish?

And why do all videos nowadays have this crap wet-the-bed type music on them nowadays?

Errr is it just me it was that just a bit rubbish?

I'm sure it's not just you since we all have our own tastes and opinions, but for the record I thought it was highly refreshing change from the usual and definitely entertaining. I hope to see some more like it. Bravo Ed 😀

Unbeknownst to me, I named my video production company very similar to his. I saw this the other day and thought they'd copied me, but then realised I named mine after them.
(Black Tea, One Sugar productions.....incidentally)

Unusual video. Liked seeing the workshop stuff. All good.

Hmmm its a bit different.

Not quite sure what the point of the video was.... (it was a promo vid - just not sure what its promoting?)

he looked a bit unstable on that inbred I thought...

Sorry, crap.

Always surprises me how quick people are to just say things are 'rubbish' rather offer a critique...

Right up my alley , loved it.

First few minutes thought it was all a bit cliche and wondered what had happened to Edd, then it got all weird and dark. Liked it.

And why do all videos nowadays have this crap wet-the-bed type music on them nowadays?

Well in this case as it's a parody of them would be my guess.

Could have been worse,

Thoroughly enjoyable and beautifully filmed. The bit at the end was well special.

If he looked unstable, I'm a lost cause.

That was all right that was.

Well first there was Mo-vember, then Stop-tober, I just hope no-one invents Diss-member.

I liked the deliberately rusty bike

Diss-member 🙂

APF

Not for me.

I'll bet you £7 that he will present a segment on The Cycle Show within a year.

Was ace. A refreshing change. Eds a bit like ginger beer with a shot bourbon.

Really disappointed it didn't have any Slowmo water dripping off a leaf, speeded up mist moving through trees or tyre marks in the mud with a trendy filter 😉
Other than that yeah it was pretty good

I don't geddit?

Or is that the point?

I'm sure he's a nice fella

But no.

Ok, if that's what you want!

What sort of video was it? If it's a lifestyle one with the motorbike stuff it was a bit lame. Didn't really say too much and I lost interest. Not really his forte I thought - might have been nice if the motorbike bit was half the length as it didn't hold attention for me.
I know he must be a good rider as he teaches others but the riding bits seemed to make riding in Calderdale look a bit tame, which they aren't at all. Most seemed to be in the same bit of woods - admittedly there is a lot of that sort of thing round there but it could have been better IMHO.
I have no idea why the bit at the end was there, really jarred with me. A good idea which might have been better spread over the whole video - a slasher theme mixed with riding would be interesting!

And the music - is this really what people listen to nowadays? I know it's probably not my thing but all videos tend to have a similar sort of music to this now. C'mon! Use a bit of imagination!

Soz Ed, not my thing. Each to his own.

Should have been titled "The Vain Vagrant".

Self obsessed rubbish imo

Got a good reception when shown at Kendal mountain film festival last Friday.
The chop had my attention more, than not bad which was shown next. Only so many tailwhip bar spins I can take in half an hour!
Good to see something different from a bike film.

If it's a lifestyle one with the motorbike stuff it was a bit lame.

It wasn't. That was the parody part of other films, I'm not sure there was a story behind it other than a brief insight into Edd's life then it went very surreal. I liked the end made it far more interesting than a lifestyle video, it got all a bit Royston Vasey.

I enjoyed the riding sections although brief it reminded how much is to be had in Calderdale area.

Not a fan either, a crap advert for OO and an intro into some bizarre cult. Shame cos everything else he does is mint but you can't please everyone.

Quite liked it, mostly because there were no whips in it. There was an axe though....

I didn't understand it, and for that reason I liked it.

Very self indulgent but watchable all the same.

very good!

For what it's worth I liked it.

Way more interesting than 99.9% of mountain bike 'films' with a load of dudes talking in made up words like gnarly and loamy and other such rubbish. Can't stand bike vids these days they're all the same. Dull.

I want a rusty bike now.

I watched it all the way through which is unusual for me as I get bored very easily.

Loved it, hope to see more please Mr O.
Different. Normal person, but good, riding. Funny. Great.

Could have been worse:

Ed Oxley: Lets Rip

Could go in many different directions with that one...

i LIKED it! /ouirish

I also liked seeing him skittle around on that hardtail on wet slippy rocks, reminds me of my own sketchy riding style!

10/10 from me 😉

Very true, nothing worse than watching some get ready for a ride in slo-mo or putting a bike a car/van, again in slo-mo.

😆
I loved it. I guess the motorbike will never be finished now though.

I liked it, it's rare that i watch any mountain bike video these days, they all seem a bit samey with big hucks and the like, if i watch one then i usually end up fast forwarding half of it, this one in on the other hand seemed to make the time fly by and it was over before i knew it.

Not my 'cup of tea' but then I dont get the Hebden 'hippy (?) Thing

I thought it was good - unless you blurt out the graphics on the bike you're gonna notice the brand and therefore you'll assume a manufacturer bias. So the fact that it's pointedly not about the new model but just about riding is a good thing

so if this isn't what you wanted - what did you want and what would be in yours?

a lot of the comments remind me of people who go to the tate modern and diss the art with the comment 'that's not art I could do that' even though they don't actually make any art

Yep caught this on face**** this morning...
Right up my street and a breath of fresh air ! Good to see respect for the 26“ hardtail too.

Thought about giving my Piglet the Ratlook for a while now, knew it would be long before we started seeing a fair few.

I'm not sure Hippies are carnivores.

TurnerGuy

Inbreds are unstable.

I enjoyed it, I also want a didgeridoo now.

The mans got no style on a bike

Needs more slo-mo.

Slo-mo EVERYTHING, then we're talking.
