I just watched it again then, and your right Firko. what i get out of the coverage is it was simple. Simple in that your average bloke can get an immediate grasp of what was going on, the broad spectrum of classes and the fact that they not only talked about the bikes but how you can get into the sport, low budget builds, old guys just loving to ride. Anyone who listens and watches the vision properly will see they have ticked all the boxes.
On face value it comes across perfectly as oldb ikes that are easly to make, fun and old guys, young guys, girls and families havings fun, and even there slow rider vision, would make those how good am i, think gees i can ride bettert than that and they might get off there arse and go racing as well. bUt also has enough coverage for the vmx guys to get some kinda fix too. there is somthing for everyone. REMEMBER this was never going to be a VMX video tape, so leave that at the door.
Also did you notice in all the cut aways, they did lots of diverse crowd vision with old bill watson, col, the girls -sarah white and knee, young kids and families on the spectator mounds and in the pits. Its a great peice of work with wider appeal, i cant say enough good things about it. watch it a few more time popeye and look and listen closers as i think you may have missed the message.
Its just a shame its not on free to air yet, that was; nah would be, the biggest injection into the sport you could hope for.
Im bloody excited. think im going to go watch it again .....
its 2 gig on a disk so bit big to POSt or upload. but ill see if i cant find a way of puytting it in the cloud somewhere.
Also did you notice lots of familiar faces in the crowds
