We've just finished anuver DVD so we figured you'd like to see some of
it. Thankfully Disturbing The Peace.co.uk are hosting it for us as the
people whose name actually appears on the cover are too fuckin'
incompetent to have a decent website that allows them to host their own
files...

Anyway, enjoy:

In

Nice near-miss at the end there Dave!

 

Which reminds me. The Italians have given the go ahead to make that
film.

 

Nice!

Time to wonder why Streetfighters Magazine stopped being sold in Spain...
:-(

I did. 'kin excellent.

 

Veggie Dave yik-yakked:

Fan-fucking-tastic.

 

'swot I thought. Fucking excellent vid and music!

 

Yehbut, the way that Veggie has edited the clip makes it gripping
stuff. Even if you've seen the stunts 1001 times before, he presents it
as if it's never been done before. IMO, of ocurse.

Oh, and did I say, that the music *rocks*.

 

The entire thing is edited in the same style, although it's in themed
sections rather than 55 minutes of random images thrown at you at high
speed

While I'm obviously somewhat biased, I do believe we present the
stunt/fighter/motard world in a slightly different way to everybody else
- and I guarantee that you haven't seen everything on the DVD when
you've only seen it once. I think, put simply, our stuff if far more
re-watchable than anything else out there

What we've tried to do is make stuff that appeals to bikers in general
rather than stunt fans but still leaving it enjoyable for the stunters,
too, which for the most part I think we've succeeded in doing

And it's definitely better than working for a living...

Tis now on the archive site too ;-)

 

Unfortunately, I'm in agreement with you. I *really* enjoyed watching
the footage of Christian Pfeiffe (sp?) at the championships, as the
whole display was so fluid it was like watching a kind of automotive
ballet.
This particular video seems to be of another series of formulaic
wheelies with a crunching metal soundtrack, edited specifically to
try and make something exceptional from the relatively mundane (I
appreciate the skill in pulling the stunts, but wish they'd do
something _new_). The usual IQ18 fare, in other words.

But I'm sure Veggie wouldn't give a toss about my reaction to it, I
somehow doubt I'm the target market (I'd have been tugging off to it
if I was 17, no doubt, but not ten years later), and it seems to be
just you and I who weren't impressed. And that probably says more than
anything.

 

And once more we owe you another favour

As opposed to the edge-of-seat-Fest that was the footage of the France
trip?

 

I'll have one. Can you FedEx a couple of copies?

 

We don't sell 'em - you need Streetfighters for that

You never know, they may actually update their webpage and put the DVD
on there ... but don't hold your breath...

Actually, I do

The sort of footage you're referring to, with riders like Pfeiffer,
Ribeiro, Farias etc. is edited quite slowly so that you get to see them
in the way you should - obviously edited to the relevant music - whereas
the high-speed silly stuff is edited in the same way that it's performed

Just because other vids only have one editing style and one editing
speed, don't assume that every DVD is the same. Fair enough, 99%
actually are, but we ain't like everyone else. And also pretty
obviously, you'll never please all of the people all of the time, but we
at least seem to entertain more non-stunt fans than anyone else, nor
does it stop us trying

Oh, and I have to tell someone... We (Tim and I) went for a few beers
with the organiser of the Czech World Stunt Championship round (which,
in my opinion is the only true World comp as Donington was a fuckin'
joke) when Pfeiffer and Farias joined us for a wee dram. As I had a
couple of DVDs with me, I gave one to Christian and one to Kim (from
Arian van Zweden) - Farias already owns all of our stuff. Anyway,
Pfeffeir checks out the cover then asks if it's any good. At this point
Sammi Mackenen (sp?) (one of the pioneers of modern stunting and an
absolute God) leans over and tells him it's the best stunt film he'll
ever see. The whole night rocked, but that one comment made all the shit
and all the problems worth while because I was surrounded by stunt gods
who viewed us as film makers in the same way we view them riders. It
probably means nothing to everyone else, but I was on Cloud 9...

Heh, I wasn't actually keeping count but I'll take
your word for it ;-)

 

The organisation and rules were utter bollocks, leaving riders like
Farias in lowly places because of a flag! It had less to do with riding
talent and more to do with rule conformity. Utter bollocks

Is that a good thing?

Well, what we put into four minutes thirty seconds of video most people
would get a full 60 minute video out of. I'm really not joking...

Myself and Nik shoot absolutely everything, yes

I couldn't tell if you meant what we do is becoming the norm or what we
do should be how everyone else should try and do it

Er, I'm all confused now 'cos I have no idea what I'm talking about...
