DC Natural Trials Video

Today i did some filming and compiled the footage into a little film. i
hope to make similar videos every couple weeks or so but who knows how
that will turn out...

the camera i am using can only hold about 2 minutes of raw footage and
therefore, editing out me turning on and off the camera, leaves about a
minute of riding.

since i am filming myself entirely i was unable to always get the best
angle. there were a few technical moves that i just couldnt figure out
how to show so what you see doesnt represent the true difficulty of the
lines, but thats how natty always is i guess.

nevertheless, its called DC Natty Volume 1 and i hope you guys enjoy
it.

it is 3.5 Megs

*natty is short for natural trials, in case you couldnt figure it out.
**and the last line involved hopping onto the skinny and riding it.

That's nice.

But actualy, i like it when the whole rider is in the picture, maby it
doesn't look good on film, but i feel i learn a fair bit more than with
only the wheel hoping around.

And i'm sorry to, for the last line battery breakdown.

Yeah, yeah.... The old "My battery failed but I completed it." line.
I'll believe it when I see it on film!

Thanks for putting up the vid.

i also would have prefered to have had my entire body in the shots, but
since i have to set the camera up on the ground or on a rock, it was
often very difficult. but there were a few whole body shots to make up
for the large number of wheel shots.

yeah, bill, i know. you are just too hard to please

for those of you interested, i had posted some pictured of this natty
spot a few weeks ago. they can be seen he

and here are rocks that were specifically in the video:

http://gallery.unicyclist.com/album376/IMGP1327 (i hopped from the tip
of the one in the foreground to the flattish one two rocks behind it,
which moved when i landed on it).

http://gallery.unicyclist.com/album376/IMGP1331 (me sitting on the rock
that moved).

http://gallery.unicyclist.com/album376/IMGP1326 (all of line 3).

on another note, were you guys content with the quality? i was
impressed at how nice the quality was considering that it was only 3.41
megs.

Very nice! It's great to see some more short natural trials videos. As
someone who's just recently really been getting into natural trials I
can appreciate how difficult some of those lines were. I for one liked
the framing with only the wheel and legs because any further back and we
couldn't see what was going on...unless it's on a DVD or something like
that.

I think line 2 was my favourite. Did you see the latest natural video
of mine where I went back to the exposed roots? I think widescreen
actually works really well for natural if you decide it's okay to leave
the rider's body out.

Please keep the movies coming...and I will do likewise.

That looks like a beautiful spot for natural trials.

of course i watched it, andrew, your natty films are great.

the spot i found is incredible. unfortunately its about a 30 minute
ride both ways- and thats pretty hard on the butt, so i cant go there
everyday. all those lines (except the last) are within a small area
that makes up a tiny fraction of the entire area- so there are millions
upon millions of lines that i have not ridden yet.

the camera i use is just tiny digital camera that has the ability to do
video as well as stills, so i dont think i could film in widescreen,
although if i could i know that i would.
