Two trials videos from ISUUC (or - how did he survive that fall?)

Us boys down at the Iowa State have some new random videos out. We took a lot of footage in January because we got a new camera and UFP just got the resulting videos edited together.

I present to you: Garage 2006 (8min/50meg/divx)

Featuring the amazing garage trials course - complete with car! It also has two of the most painful looking falls I’ve seen - thankfully the camera was rolling.

And Campus 2006 (10min/68meg/divx)

Featuring the ISU campus being conquered by crazy trials people - and occasionaly bled on.

They’re pretty quick downloads, whatta ya think?

what player do you use to play thise…i just tried it in divx player and it saind that the data was unsuported

They should work in Divx unless the files got corrupted in the upload. I just use the DIVX codec for windows media player. Divx player should work, though.

I dont get why u put ur seat so high if all ur doing is seat in

where do i get the codec for wmv that will play avi files?

all of us do both - some are still learning seat out, however, so their only video worthy stuff is of seat in. There are also 6 guys using 4 unicycles, so that’s a factor as well.

(there is tons of seat out in both vids)

http://download.divx.com/divx/DivXPlay.exe

install and then use wmp. (windows media player)

i just installed the codec… was i supposed to install the other stuff?? cuz so far it isnt working, maybe i need to restart my comp.

Cool videos, I had fun watching them.

it worked great for me.

and as seager mentioned most (if not all) of us do both sif and seat in stuff, and our seats are where we like them.

i have a question the videos are awsome
but in the first one the red uni…where doues the frame end and the seat post start…becouse it looks like the clamp is right under the seat…its the frame just really really long?

haha, that last bail on the first vid, in slow motion got me laughing :smiley:

You guys are doing ok but there’s waaaay too many prehops in there, you should be thinking about where you’re gonna launch from and hop to that spot in one jump (and then launch).

Yeah, that’s an old GB4 frame, with a really long seat tube. In fact it might be the first, I’m not sure.

those are some nice videos, and some impressive bails.
well done!
I think you need to work on doing less hops, though.

Great vid guys looks like you had fun making them and the garage trials course is mad.
I know a few people have said this but im gonna say it anyway
Too many prehops i think you guys should work on stand stills it will make your lines a lot smoother.

part of the reason there are so many prehops is that not all the obstacles are super solid. when what you’re on moves a little, you have to hop a little to correct. but yes, in generally we all use waaaay too many prehops.

the red one is a really old GB4 and george himself used to ride. Since george is 6’6" and the curret owner (kai) is about 5’9" the seat is all the way down. he’s even cut that tube down a few inches. the red frame is only an inch or two longer than the black frame i’m riding. jsut i’m 6’4" and have some seatpost showing.

thanks for all the comments.

Yea, some of those pallet stacks are like jumping on stiff mattresses. :slight_smile: We jacked up the car to take pressure of the shocks but it still moves around a lot as well. Less pogoing is something we’re all working on, but with varying degrees of success.

One day I will clear the course with no prehops and a backflip each time I jump… just not yet. (I don’t want to show off)

i downloaded the divx codec but i still cant watch the vids…help anyone?

running windows? using wmp? installed the newest codec from divx.com?

I finally got the patiance to download the first one and it was well worth the wait! that trials coarse is so increadibly awesome, it got me stoked to go build some new stuff:D time to veiw the other one!
