It's eastern pulse skatepark. Its usually better but they are redoing everything so they just threw in a couple boxes but it's still so much fun.

That's pretty sick. I thought it was like a private park your friends made.

BY the way sorry for the bad lighting Chenga too is sooo dark inside and that day they didn't have all the lights on inorder to reduce the heat.

I'll be calling bob tomorrow and hopefully he Will go to an out door park with us and we can get some better clips there since lighting will be no problem.

It wasn't bad. The 15fps made you guys look worse than you are though, a better camera would be good (or export at a higher framerate if you just did that to save filesize).
I want to make a video, but I'd be embarassed to film my friends and I at the park because we all suck. At least after I get my license I can go ride there more often and get better.

My camera is a piece and hopefully I'll get a good one around christmas. How do you do change the frame rate?

If it's just a digital still camera, you might not be able to set it any higher. Some of them have 30fps and higher, my SD400 had 30fps at 640x480 or 60fps at 320x240.
If it's a video camera with a tape it should be able to do 30fps, maybe the program you're saving it with is throwing away frames to save space or something.
I don't know that much about video cameras, but if you're getting one I've heard the Canon Optura 10 is good, for not too much money. And if you want a fisheye lens, there's at least one that will fit it.

Alright thanks. I have a digital still camera and thats probably why it sucks so bad but hopefully I can get a real camera when I get some more money.

I can't watch it, because this French Mac I'm on doesn't have Windows Media Player.
That being said, you might want to look into a new name for the video, seeing as how Standard already released a video with that title.

its not saying much that hes better than your or me. Hes deffinatly not even remotely good enough to go pro and stand out in the crowd.

Maybe not at chenga 2. But i guess one of the best tricks at the Dew action sports tour was like 540 whip. At the Pro comp last summer at chenga best trick was a 720 double whip.

What about Frontflips?

720 double whip? Somehow I doubt that, seeing as how I never saw it in the footage from the comps, nor heard it mentioned anywhere but here.

I believe It was Dorrito who did it, but don't quote me on it. I will ask around tommrow.

If Dorito did a 720 double-whip, word would have hit BMXBoard ages ago. That'd be a banger-and-a-half for his part in the Team Major Air video.

You should pick a different name. Thunder has been used before. It was ride's first video and actually pretty good.

I finally watched that, and I stopped after about ten seconds. Terrible music. And those feeble grinds and the below coping air hurt my eyes.

Yeah, if you had suffered and watched the whole thing.
You would have laughed your ass off about how small those dirt jumps were.
And even i ride pegs better than that.
And i dont even have them on my bike.
