Clay Porter film....
- Thread starter luiz carlos
- Start date
easy with all the pumping dan....
someone should release a bike video entirely in slow motion so people can rest at night...
Dammit, i was JUST about to post this. Clay should produce his next movie entirely in slow motion, but then speed up the interviews so that they all sound like chipmunks.
They already did a slo-mo film. Its called the last NWD film.
"pump up the jam, while your feet are thumpin, and the jam is pumpin"
I definitely would. I love those.
W3rd, no-ones come close to capturing downhill the way Rankin does. He also gets the music spot-on for each and doesn't just follow the standard "punk" rock and hip-hop trends that eveyone including Clay uses.
Mmmm Aussie national series
Drift is an awesome series! I love vids where you can relate to the riding, (ie NOT NWD!) and Drift captures that superbly

"between the tape" deal with that insider knowledge care of boredom magazine.
reading this thread is like smashing my hand in a car door. it feels good when i stop.
edit- also who cares if it's shot in hdv, im pretty sure bike videos are not going to be baller enough yet to be pressed in blue-ray or hd-dvd. it will look good because clay knows how to work a camera and knows what to point it at. he could use a 500 dollar one chip camera and still put out a more entertaining project than certain other productions crap out with 6 figure budgets.

anyone remembers THE CIRCUS from warwick patterson?...i remember it as my favourite and it still blows my mind. i think it was the worlds of 2000 or something like that.
the circus comes on that dvd they did a couple years later, i think it was called RISE. it's one of the only reasons i got the dvd.
everyone is making race videos these days, it's so fashionable. almost polyester fashion-able... 5 movies.

Is it a race movie??????
More info?????
How about "Blue Screen Life" or "The Worlds Fastest Australian(s)" and you could have Hannibal Narrate
just gathering from the past couple years of internet sarcasm, people would like to see american racers featured in a race video? hmm... maybe someone can fill that market in january. world cuppers are fun to watch still.
Clays new project BTT will def feature American racers. Riding both in N America and at world cups abroad. That is if he ever stops filming and begins editing.......All i can say is that there is some crazy footage
With Americans in it? Pfffft. :biggrin:
beggars and choosers. you cant please everybody, especially people on the net with too much time on their hands. complaining about clay shooting with international riders because they make for fast footage is like asking for free tacos all day and then when someone gives you 5 free tacos you bitch about only wanting 4 tacos.
Correct; it was a bonus when you bought RISE. The Curcus is a truely awesome film!!! I feel this is a must see for anybody who is into MTB DH or DS racing.
Uh, yeah.....cuz D-Riff sucks, huh
Yeah, I'll agree that the U.S. pick of really talented DHers is pretty thin, but it will come around again. Remember, we did have the world champion in 2000.
I wanna see Cole Bangert have a section if there's gonna be one for an american racer. None of them seem to rag it enough, they're soooooo boring to watch, too cautious. I liked watching Cole in Rotorua though.
That was 6 years ago, and even then it was only ONE rider. Go and check the UCI's ranking by nation... Australia is first, GBR second, USA ninth. Even NZ are ahead of you and they only have a population that's barely 2% the size of yours.Uh, yeah.....cuz D-Riff sucks, huh

Yeah race movie, 4 euro World Cups and more...
Trailer should be around soon! I'll keep you updated!
Maybe because americans are smart enough to realize you can't make a living racing your bike. So we just make our money the easy way and ride our bike for fun.
Sure thing. It's easier to make the money if you're quick to begin with. Just a thought. :biggrin:
Kevin, I think you need a less subtle hint that you are making a video that's going to be sick. You should throw the teaser up for people to see.
It sure is, but not enough to pay for the medical bills when you're 50. Personally, I know plenty of americans downhillers that have more natural talent than they know what to do with. They just don't care about racing. And instead of complaining about it like everyone else, they just don't do it. That's why you never see them in any videos. They're out racing big races, like the BAJA 1000.
So then, clearly, they aren't american dowenhillers. They are American Baja racers. If they thought they could win a world title, and they enjoyed downhill, they'd be racing. They can't, so they are doing something they are better at.
They are downhillers. They just don't race.
I agree with your first sentence. To me it seems like most PRO DH racers in the U.S (or anywhere else) only race and train, that is their full time job correct? So, unless the UCI or the racer's team provide medical, dental, vision insurance and a killer 401k...it is extremely hard/unrealistic to say "I want to be a Pro Downhill racer". And add to that, when you become obsolete in your mid-30s...What then? Work construction until you die? No thanks. It seems that people that race full time walk a fine line, sometimes just barely making it through on an absurdly low salary. There are a couple of exceptions to the rule (Gracia, Minnar, Peat, LopeZ) but not nearly enough.
Oh, and about Baja...You are right. I was in San Felipe last March for a race and ran into a former American pro DH racer. I bumped into him in a bar and asked him what he was doing down there. He told me he was racing a dirt bike for the first time on a team who had picked him up. When I asked him why he had quit racing DH he just laughed and said it was not worth it. He said that he still rides almost every week, but racing was just not worth ruining the rest of his life for.
Haha, what's up with the head banging? Please elaborate.Akula_7 said:
Trust me, I would rather be out training (like most of my Euro and Aussie buddies) than sitting here on my butt going through acccounting paperwork making waaaay too much money. If I can find a way to dedicate my life to DH racing, I would.
