any one know if theres going to be an 08 world cup documentary type dvd
like earthed coming out later this year?
 
cheers
robbie.

dont think rankin is doing another earthed so count that one out

i hope there is one, been a cracking season! no one person has been dominant, coming down to the last few races to decide who'll be champ! great stuff for spectators!

3focus and Foot out Flat out.  Both out by christmas.

Rootes

I was wondering about the earthed, that is a shame, i like all the earthed series. Foot out Flat out looks really good! Homegrown stuff is great to watch. :)

 The Uprising is going to cover the World cups in Maribor, Andorra and Schladming as well as the world champs and NPS rd 1 and 2
Plus rider sections from Bryceland, Cunningham, Dale, Cammelini, Simmonds, Kovarik, Reid, Vink, Cathro and more
Plus BMX minibike and a short trials section

Loads of stuff filmed in Wales and Scotland so plenty of 'homegrown', plus loads filmed in the Portes du soleil and around Europe and even South Africa, so plenty of variation

RELEASE IN MID OCTOBER

Its going to be off the rictor!
Buy it!

Oops, sorry Callum, forgot about yours as well.  It's on my "to buy list" when it comes out.

Rootes

not forgetting the new DVD from the focus/ re-focus guys

Rootes mentioned 3Focus you muppet!

think i'll join you on that 1 rootes sounds bob on

Just finishing up in Whistler now, heading to Canberra next, then back to Schladming.

Watching back some of our footage we have already shot this year, the film really is going to be sweet ;D

Can't wait  ;D

Rootes

Clearly you are lying. We demand proof! We want a teaser ;D

after seen the yeti guys tear up the track while being filmed with a cable cam it did loook migty impressive

Clay porter not making a race dvd this year then? I would be surprised if he didnt. Also what about the guys that did super 8?

Foot out, flat out is going to be rad!

Can't wait for the release!

That cable we shot when you were there is the best shot we have ever done! It really looks amazing!

As for the other guys, Clay will be releasing a film, but at Sea Otter, so if you want to see what happened this season, before next season starts, then 3Focus is where it's at ;) Tony from Super8 is doing other stuff these days too.

As for a teaser Al, one will be coming pretty soon, expect a 30 second jobby around Schladming time.

My trailer is done, just waiting for the right moment to release it.

The teaser however should be online in the next few weeks, maybe straight after the last NPS.

In the meantime there is a vid on mtbcut of the Fort William 4X from the extras.

The Uprising and 3Focus, both gonna be pretty good I think as well.

I think everyone will have to buy all three just so they can make an informed argument for why the Uprising is the best! jokes
seriously though...

Na mine is better... jokes aside. ;)

Two individual guys shooting their first films, on DV, and only going to a few World Cups,

Vs

A team of two full time MTB film producers, shooting their third film, in High Definition, covering every single round of the World Cup series, including boom, dolly and Cablecam shots from all the races including Worlds.

No offence guys, but I don't think you can lump all three films together as competition :D

I believe Rankin filmed Earthed 1 by himself, on a worse camera than I am using and didnt cover all the world cups, yet Im pretty sure he sold a hell of a lot more than ReFocus did and most people would still rate it as one of the best downhill films of all time.

I think its the style, music and editing that makes a good film, not the number of pixels

here here

Woah chill dude, no need to start a fight ::)

Alex shot Earthed after shooting the whole Sprung series, it's not like he just picked up a camera and made Earthed from nothing...

Everybody has to start somewhere, but I don't think your arrogance will get you very far, try being a little more humble once in a while.

in fairness, and not meaning to start a fight here supercross, but you were the one who basically placed yourself as pro's and them as amateurs! you can't blame the guy if he takes a little offence to it! i also didn't get an angry vibe off his post just a gentle ribbing one, so maybe he didn't take offence!

Lets not get into a bitchy mine is better than yours argument as i think most folk on here will buy all if they are to buy any, and fighting can only damage reputations!

Personally i rate Unscene as one of the best DVD's ever, and that was 100% in UK... never even went to europe, let alone all the world cups! maybe your all going too far ;D (joke)

That strikes me as rather arrogant, especially as you haven't seen either of our films.  I was just making a counter argument, its called a debate not a fight.

and fighting can only damage reputations!

andfrom a consumer point of view im pretty excited about all of them to be honest and i would give both my lovely balls to be in a position of you guys, making it happen etc etc. fair play

matt

HAHAHA!

OMGZ ZHHHOOMMGG!

A bitch fight!

I'm not getting involved in this petty argument. I'm keeping my hands clean, you two have your fight and watch your DVD sales fester around the 0 mark while Foot Out Flat Out takes the whole market by storm.

Clay Porter will be living out of a cardboard box by this time next year. Alex Rankin will rue the day he ignored me at Empire of Dirt and I will be living it up in my mansion with my 24 Ferraris.

Well... maybe not, haha, I don't care as long as I can carry on doing this next year, I f'ing love it! Look out for a sequel next year! Wooo!

yeah but milan was the real talent in the sprung team....

I dont think he was arrogant and I also dont think he was starting a fight/argument, personally i think you were the one being arrogant. They obviously arent selling such a high quality film but that doesnt mean it wont be as good. Its not just about how good quality the film and the camera work is. Its the music, the riding and how it makes you want to get out and ride.

judging by focus 1 and 2 it wont be a hard task for mono or callum to better them, just my opinion....

Your screen name really is fairly accurate then  ;)

Rootes

man i never saw that coming... moron.

 :D

And thats outrageous, Focus is one of the best films I've seen!

I've seen some pretty cracking films (in BMX mind) made on a camera borrowed from their parents shooting their mates at weekends.. I could go out and buy a top of the range camera but if I havent got the imagination I couldnt possibly put together a decent flick.

Now thats not directed specially at you (i'm a fan of your two previous films) i'm just saying.. your statement does come across a little arrogant, Callum and Mono could pull something special out of the bag and while not have all the WC coverage produce a better vid in the end. Stranger things have happened..

Wahey, I love the internet ;D

Did no one notice the massive smiley on my first post?

I was only kidding around ::)
