i know this isn't Downhill but i'm just starting to edit video's and i wanted to post this to see what type of feedback it would get?

comments welcome

thanks,

I like it. The trail looks ace fun.
Nice tunes (better than the screaming crap some people play) Editing wise I would like to see more of the whippy cornering you do and that high speed drift near the start. That stuff looks ace and makes me want to ride.

The only thing I didnt like was the title at the end it looked kind of cheesy and cheap if you know what I mean?

Where is that trail and what bike are you on?

Not bad Eric.... Did Willem help you with the editing? What programs did you use? Final Cut? He has been taking some footage of my guys that are out West right now Jason Memmelaar and Dennis Yuroshek. He is good with the Camera.

That trail looks like it would be a great Super D training course... Keep up the good work!!!!

Cecil :cheers:

the trail is just a little local spot in so cal not really a lot of trail but the stuff we have is quality..., i am on my GT Sanction.

Willem help me from the back seat....i'm stoked to say he never touched the computer while i edited, we used an older version of I movie.

the title has some meaning for some personal friends otherwise it would just be credits....thanks for the feedback guys.....

this year myself and my mechanic are planning a bunch of epic ride trip/dealer visit tours so im trying to figure the video stuff out to be able to post up our rides.

.

I was not saying the title was cheesy by the way, its just the way it appears on the screen looked a bit low budget. Granted it was low budget :biggrin: but perhaps it was just the colour or somthing?

I thought the transitions/fades between scenes looked good and in general it had a pretty smooth look to it. I know exactly zero about editing though so take that for what it's worth...

Eric - spot on man!

Personally I thought some of the fades needed to be a bit shorter between cuts, but other than that - excellent job for a first time around!

Cecil - I'm boys with Dennis and Kenny from Diablo - look for a guy named "Lord Humongous" on 2wheeledfreaks.com - that's me!

:biggrin:

Nice video EC! Try to get out to the east coast with your bike & mechanic shop tour dealio....particularly VA, MD, WV, PA area. The shop I work part time at is a GT/Mongoose dealer and we'd love to have you stop by if possible!

Eric,
Any updates on Vail Lake? I'm heading down south for Fontana next weekend, and it'd be great to get some riding in there after the race.
