Would you buy this dvd?
SkierAlex wrote: I kind of agree. In other extreme sports there are heaps of professionally made DVD's and not so many online. If people actually filmed a proper DVD they would make money. I mean koxx-one have released heaps of online vids and only one DVD and lots of the online vids are better than the DVD IMO. This is the big flaw in the 'if you make youtube videos you make it hard for people to make money out of dvds'. If you look on youtube for skate videos, there are over 350,000. unicycling, there are less than 95,000. Yet skating, bmx etc. have far more commercial success. The more people making unicycling videos on youtube, the more unicyclists there are, which means there's a greater potential for selling dvds to them. It's really common when you meet mountain unicyclists for them to say they started because they saw Kris Holm on youtube for example - I bet he's sold tons of gear thanks to promoting himself in videos (and even due to them being pirated onto youtube). I reckon people would still buy a well produced dvd of tutorials though, I know I've bought tutorial videos for other things. Youtube is okay, but a good dvd of tutorials could just be easier, and worth someone spending £10/$20 on. If you could make a bunch of copies, you might even convince unicycle.com to sell a bundled deal with some of their street / trials unicycles. They already do this with beginner unicycles, bundling in a 'learn to ride' dvd for a little more money, it'd be great if the more advanced unicycles could be got with instructional dvds too.
