BMX - Um, ok. Odd videos and stuff found on the WWW.

Bikeforums.net is a forum about nothing but bikes. Our community can help you find information about hard-to-find and localized information like bicycle tours, specialties like where in your area to have your recumbent bike serviced, or what are the best bicycle tires and seats for the activities you use your bike for.
What more could you possibly say? (http://cgi.ebay.com/VINTAGE-TANDEM-BMX-20-BIKE_W0QQitemZ300029882259QQihZ020QQcategoryZ64644QQrdZ1QQcmdZViewItem)

I know a lot of the stuff is repeated.

I like the cursive writing for the names, but the music is horrible.
This one is less repetitive(sp?) and a little better.
Either way, bike riding is about fun not about how good you are, at least to me.

Thats awesome!
How would you go about jumping it though?

I liked it. Pretty decent riding, I liked the smiths. I wish I could do them and be out riding like you guys are right now.
Very carefully. I like the out of sync cranks. Should be real fun in the corners.
Not that it's connected, but it's got a coaster brake. A tandem with a coaster brake - that's just not going to work.

My guess, itd snap if you ever tried anything on it other than light riding on gravel trails.

Thats pretty good, nice work. One critisism though, what is with the short extract of a bad song in the credits? Remove!

What's wrong with that? For most decently new riders, that's quite daring.

Why would I want to continue watching a video when they're making stuff like that stand out?
Here's another, not BMX though.
It's all about Yin and Yang (http://video.yahoo.com/video/play?vid=aafe4b00057ba85d4f649506c84bfdb5.846840&cache=1)
And here's a pretty sweet flatland clip. (http://video.yahoo.com/video/play?vid=c860df3ccf66c83fb61bb2ffd934330b.863575)

It looked pretty cool from what I saw of it... for some reason after 2.5 mins into it it stopped loading.
It's good that you guys are out riding and making videos, by the time you move on to bigger tricks and get a better camera you'll already know what to do.

I suck so much at trials. My 35lb mountain bike with 120mm fork isn't really set up for it, though..
It does handle rocky descents pretty well, but I'm too lazy to ride up

The MTB one was quite impressive.

It wasn't supposed to stand out. It was just for an intro.

All in all you have to realize that you have been riding alot longer and better than most people on this forum...
Its not a bad video for some kids that just started riding.
I still dont like the music though.

She wasn't a bad sort either. Someone get her a 20".
Should I move this into the thread of odd internet stuff?

But then someone else would delete all our posts for being dumb.
BTW, the 1N is still great, I think the AF is better than my digital camera with the telephoto. I got a fisheye too, it's awesome to use with it. I need to get a darkroom setup sometime so I can shoot some B&W without paying ridiculous prices for developing.
Yeah, I need to set up a darkroom too. I used to stop by my pro lab on the way to my photo class, and pick up my processed film. Why let someone in your class scratch your film in the dryer? Ok, so it was cheating a bit, but I had perfectly developed film.
If you need a grip for that thing, let me know - I have 2 available. You may want the one that takes AA batteries - that will save you some cash.

Maybe.. I have a grip for my other camera, it's nice to have.
I do want to get a locking cable release or remote eventually, so I can do some really long exposures without running out of batteries like digital does.
I may have a release for it too. I'll check tomorrow.
