Have fun. I'll look out for the vid on youtube.

oh please. grow up. I was sent a PM asking if I'd be keen to bring my gear and some of my friends, who are DOPs. I've seen MANY crap riding films. I'd just be keen to be involved in something cool. We are able to create a very cool film of some trails there. And who said it shouldn't be professional looking? YOU? So now what, you build some trails up there and if YOU say something it's the way it's to be done? Go for it, head up there with your gopro and have a laff. cheers

awwww, great retort there. Well done.

naaa, fists and sticks are for schoolboys. Much easier ways to fix things than this.

I really need excellent photoshop skills like eccentric's. How about a 3 month unpaid trial period, which includes washing my bike and car. Oh, and our toilets get pretty hazardous too at times.

ag shampies eccentric, is that all you have? GRRRREAT 'shop skills there too. Come work for me.

I'm not really keen to haul my gear and buddies in for that. Like I said to the OP in a PM, if it's just going to be a bunch of riders shooting random bits of track cut to the usual thrash then I respectfully decline. I'm in if you guys want to pick one or two younger riders who can RIP it, and session one of the best lines there. Then thread this together into a coherent edit to show off the scope of the trail as well as personality and profile of the younger generation. Why younger? Because they are kicking ass and they deserve the attention. We'd really prefer to do this kind of thing on a high end level, otherwise it just ends up being a waste of time. Any ideas as to who you'd think to be an awesome bunch of young riders to use? yeah dude, got this in mind.

Please rather write in Afrikaans if you can't handle English. You are hardly a snob. Unless of course your 'k' key is stuck and you pushed 's' by mistake?

Except that your review was unresearched and biased, almost a justification to yourself for choosing the cheaper option. For the price, it can't be beat. This model is for the amateur film maker, novice, who would like to capture their own ride etc. For serious users, the 1080p is the only way to go. Look out soon as there are new GP models out shortly. Ok, now the usual posters can step in and assault me with the usual. David, eccentric, drongo et al (oops, wrong term?)

I like the name. Which riders, and which route?

I think the idea is to get some decent Tokai DH footage though?

Here's Gizmodo's article on it: http://gizmodo.com/5829353/anonymous-to-destroy-facebook-on-november-5th

My bad, I was thinking of the other incident: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=py7kR2jX9RM Seems like a lot of road rage in the UK

Who? What's the beef dude? Care to share?

They are going to try to. It's due to Facebook's privacy policy and registration terms etc. They'll have a tough time to do so though. They also forget that nobody forced anyone to join Facebook. Everyone has the right not to partake, not to get so involved.

The video doesn't show the entire event though. AAAAAANYWAY, whatever

and your comment is ad hominem because?

I'll try find it for you. It was in one of the first reports of this. Said something to the effect of the guy hit the car's bonnet or side as it was trying to get passed.

My coffin? Do you think I'm bothered if you and your mates 'gang up' on me? Hahaha. I say what I feel dude. Yep, if the shopper is really hot I'll lie in the river so she can cross it without getting her tyres wet too. But cumon, for someone to get all worked up because someone doesn't greet them while out riding? There are bigger things to worry about. What if I'm out riding, in my own world, lost in my iPod. How rude is that person who expects me to ruin my mojo to greet them.

Do you walk around the mall greeting everyone too?

I read that this cyclist had hit the guy's car though. He deserves a good beating if he did that. You whack the wrong guy's bonnet with your hand/foot here in SA and see what you get for that. This article highlights the problem with the UK nicely. Too many human rights. Too many little nanny boys who can take what they deal out. It's exactly why to police are not allowed to fire teargas at the rioters there, but it's ok for them to loot the place. The UK has gone nuts. Parents are not allowed to give their kids a hiding either. We need to bring back the old rules. People can't say this or that, because it offends someone. People can't defend themselves, because it infringes on some or other right. You can't have an opinion without being labelled something. It's either too left, too right. I saw this video, and the cyclist deserved that beating he got. He actually got off lightly.

It's really lame that he threw his toys out of the cot like that. It's really bad sportsmanship. He should have dignity and restraint. He should have respect for those around him. He wanted to get a reaction like he used to get when mommy wouldn't give him another cupcake. All he did was look like a big fool. Nothing to stop him getting home and throwing the tantrum, but then he'd have not got a reaction. All this said, the sponsor benefitted either way. ALL publicity is good publicity, so SCORE!!!

No you don't. Thanks for clearing that one up DND

I got the idea that you were involved because of the posts relating to awareness rides etc. You made it clear to me in a rather uncalled for post that you were not. Again, apologies for assuming so. Nathrix, I'm not keen to meet up with you. Thanks.
