UniGeezer: "Crazy 8!" (8 stair!)

Shouldn't your license say DOB: 1-15-88

Liked that video.

I'd like if you used a higher quality audio compression though, you're still using WMM aren't you?

Haha yeah I'm spoiled WMM is just soooo dang easy to use. I've tried Premier elements and others but they're way more complicated to figure out. I have ADHD and need instant results or I get frustrated lol! I know if I read the tutorials and stuff I could use it but again, I don't have the patience for that.

Well not all, but some left anyway. When you hit a certain age, it seems hair grows more in other places...like your nose and ears!

Thanks beeper! I woke up today aching like mad everywhere, and felt as if somebody had kicked me in the kidneys! I think I overdid it yesterday, but it was worth it!

Haha no way you're the king! Somehow I think if I was hopping/jumping stair sets on a 19" trials, it would be a lot easier, especially getting more height!

[skrobo]

no, i think its easier to do it on a 24.
if i had a light, super strong, and fast 24... it would be better for stairs every day of the week

Ok, because ppl have told me I should *slow* down on my approach, so I can control my launch, compress the tire and hop up and out. And if so, then I just thought a lighter 19" trials would make it easier to get up & out.

Seems if I go too fast, there's no time to do that. But I'll tell you, I LOVE the speed and feeling of flying off those stair sets and landing with all that momentum! But yeah, I'm still working on getting more height.

I also think I may be favoring my forward foot (left) more than my right, and not getting equal amounts of downward "push" on my pedals at time of launch.

You might be able to get higher on a 19'' but you were also going pretty darn fast on the 24'' which carried you pretty far. That was really neat to watch though!

You should practice doing all sorts of hops up pallets in your yard more.

Yeah, and I should also try to approach the rolling hops with my saddle much *lower*, (with my knees way more bent like so many trials riders for roll hopping up pallets, etc.), which should allow me to spring up more at the launch point.

It's like if I'm standing on the ground with my legs straight and almost locked, I wouldn't be able to jump up, unless I bent my knees first. And the more I bend down, the higher I could jump.

Also, I can jump fairly high static, if I reach down to touch the tire, folding my body forward. I don't know why, but I can't seem to do this when jumping a stair set. I have to work on that. I appreciate all the advice.

(Of course, my advanced old age could also be a limiting factor!)

Edit the video in WMM, then use VirtualDUB to edit the audio compression.

It's quite simple, go to Audio on the top menu, click Full Processing Mode, then go to Compression and change it to MP3 56kb/s, it will sound so much better.

I hate that knocking noise your music always has from the terrible WMA audio compression.

"knocking" noise? I don't hear anything like that. When I listen to the finished video, the music sounds just like it did before I added it to the video. But I'll check it again thanks.

It's more of a chirp actually, it's artifacts caused by really lossy compression

This video for example, it's very noticable at around 40 seconds in, chirp chirp chirp chirp chirp to the beat.

I also vote for more riding in big stores. I like those videos.

Here is a good one I liked, but it's guys on bikes.

I hear the drum beat. Could it be possible that certain songs, and how they were recorded could sound worse than others when put in a video? Do you notice the "knocking" sound in all of my videos, or just some more than others. Oh, I tried to use V.Dub but it didn't recognize the WMV.
