October 5, 200520 yr just watched rounds 5-6 duluth on dvd ,awsome ,some of the observing was a bit questionable ,i thought if you paddle your way through a section it was a 5 but they were giving 2-3s but apart from that what a great dvd,they actually show you the whole section not like the duke world trials dvd , they show you the landscape,the pits and a few seconds of the section ,not very good .they should have filmed the whole of the worlds at hwakstone park and released it on dvd, but it will probably be a few minutes on the next world trials championship 05 ,what do you reckon. lewis
October 5, 200520 yr Yeah I agree. Totally awesome coverage. I got both 2004 and 2005 sets from duluth. It's too bad they can't arrange the same coverage on the other world rounds.. But I guess travelling around the world with atleast 4 guys doesn't come cheap. The observing was questionable at some times, but we need to remember that observing so many riders, for so long, for two days adds upp some stress and you're bound to make bad calls. So more observers. Somebody was taking atleast 7 dabs and still only gets 2 points... :/ Bike gliding backwards 2-3feet and still no five..
October 5, 200520 yr Trials TV have sent me a couple of clips from this which I'll be posting to the front page, along with a review (as soon as I get time to watch the whole thing!)
October 5, 200520 yr Paddling through a section as always been a three, that's why they bother to keep going and spend the energy to save the two points.
October 5, 200520 yr I've said it before, but it bears repeating... Rather than criticize the observing, get out and volunteer to observe. It's a very difficult task for the organizers to come up with that many qualified people who want to spend their weekend standing out in the rain watching only one section... (This from the perspective of having observed at the 3 Duluth world rounds...) -- Regards, Bentley Wolfe Senior Escalation Engineer, Flash Macromedia Webmaster: http://www.widualsportriders.org/ http://www.madisonmotorcycleclub.org/ http://www.wisconsintrials.org/
October 6, 200520 yr I am still waiting for my copy, But yes I would not want to get into a errrr heated discussion with Dougie or his Dad. However, I have volunteered to pick up trash , clean port o lets , whatever. Being an observer at a wtc round is an awesome task.
October 6, 200520 yr You think it is hard observing a world round i would reackon observing the scott will be harder can have a fair few riders in the section at once!!
