Pics not working in some of the threads.

Can you paste the see-saw piccy directly into the farkin thread?? I wanna see the crazy arsehole who did the mofo.

[RaID]

didnt see a pic see-saw but it is on the vids

[Rik]

Oh thank fuck someone finally uploaded the vid to a decent server, I've been trying all day to download this. Cheers.

Oh, it's a phat vid, even if it is freeriding, so I'm moving it.

[..::JaReD::..]

That awsome as, ecspecailly(sp?) the sea saw :shock:

Is vid 1 and vid 2 the same?

[parallax]

Hang on... That pic in the first post - Holy shit-balls !!!.

now dloading vid 1

[spuddy]

I thought that seesaw was bigger :( but hey, still hella good. Would have been better if it pivoted the whole way though, so you couldnt stall at the top...

[scblack]

i thought the seesaw was bigger too - I'm sure I saw it a couple of weeks ago looking twice as high - yes, still awesome though

[RaID]

That awsome as, ecspecailly(sp?) the sea saw :shock:

Is vid 1 and vid 2 the same?


no different vids

vid 2 has Timo Pritzel braking his leg in the final trying to gap the scaffold at the end, its the last rider in vid 2

the winner is the guy doing the tailwhip of the scaffolding at the end (i think)

[johnny]

Is it just my old rig that I use or is the quality really jumpy?

That seesaw is so much smaller than I thought it was :? Still couldn't ride it though.... :oops:

[Rik]

Is it just my old rig that I use or is the quality really jumpy?
Mine is a bit crappy (Celeron 733 :oops: ) and suffers the same problem, it's a bit like "slideshow mode" half the time!

As for the 2nd vid, the .mpg, can someone please compress and mirror it, I'm sick of crappy servers, the bloody download always times out. Argh! I've been trying all day to get it too! I'll even compress and mirror it if i can download the sucker.

[curtisrider]

They cut the see saw down by 10 ft, so it was initially bigger

those tailwhips where nuts, and the pendulum :shock:

Works fine for me, you right clicking and clicking "save target as"?

[_J_]

woah!!! That's an awesome vid, thanks!

[TIMOH]

Very Nice Video.. Mines jumpy aswell tho..

[RaID]

the pinkbike is jumpy on my laptop but only when im running on a battery power
when i plug it in it runs smoothly
so i guess i does use some processing power to make it run smooth

[..::JaReD::..]

What are you guys on? Mines perfect no jumpyness and it's quality is so good, not pixilated like most vids on the internet. Just like DVD quality.

[Adi]

Mine is not jumpy at all...

That video is insane, those guys are nuts! That is the best place in the world, I want to go and live there, :(!

So much style, amazing how much these guys are pushing the sport.

Edit: Does anybody know the name of the song in the first or second video?

Edit 2: Song in the second video, 'Crankworx' is '100 Proof' by '88 Fingers Louie' for anyone who wants to know. Thanks to oz-freerider, :).

[RaID]

the bottom section practically puts the 03 red bull ride to shame

[big_pete]

holy moly thats some seriously insane stuff!!

[chris7]

:shock: ohh god, thats some nuts stuff, see saw is huge!! :shock:

[Adi]

Does Timo Pritzel still ride for ScottUSA? What bike is that where he tries to clear the scaffolding at the end anyways?

[stooge]

I am definatly going to learn tailwhips before the end of this year!!
Tailwhips look crazy, It really does look awesome when someone can throw a tailwhip off of a drop and wallride :shock: Mtbing is progressing oh so fast and im loving it!!!

(/childish excitment)

That is some awesome riding :shock:

[stooge]

Does Timo Pritzel still ride for ScottUSA?
Yep, he sure does.
What bike is that where he tries to clear the scaffolding at the end anyways?
Not sure of the actually model name, but it was the likes of 'YZ-01'(that could be the hardtail?!?!?) or somthing like that, i've got a complete mind blank. What ever it is called it's his team Scott duallie.

[technoboy]

thats definately the best MTB footage i have seen!!!!!!!!!!
how good would it be to have a slope style course in Australia!!!!

[MrPlow]

Edit: Does anybody know the name of the song in the first or second video?
Yeh, What is the song in bp_crankworks??
Good vids too :)
