no haha! at one time i was progress super fast, learned to land hitchikers, wheelchairs, halfpackers, and even learned how to link them al togher, in 3 months..
after that i was on a dead point (right now) and im not progressing anymore so i came up with this  sh*t haha!

But it was an nice experience, the next round of the battles im not in, cause its raining and raining over here, and i dont have an indoor spot!

Peace, and ride hard!

The same with me. I progressed very fast before the 1st battle round, but then just stopped and had to dial everything to move on. Work with the tricks you learned..

Don't worry, the next round will be after winter, because I'm in a similar situation.

Wouter,

   You are an amazing rider. These battles really have one real purpose. Get us off the PC and on our bikes to ride! You have had amazing progression. Its was GREAT to see you link crackpacker to halfpacker and BACKPACKERS?!?! When did you learn that trick..hahahah you keep digging in your bag and pulling more tricks out. I really hope you enter again. You really push me harder and keep me going.

Alex,
  WOW you have really come a long ways from the year that I have known you. You have blown right past me in your tricks and its so nice to see you keep trying and not giving up.

Keep on Riding!!

Ooo man I got to hit the Camera up today. Brad...lets do this!!!

Not to be negative, but I'm in the same boat as Wouter. After I lost my second battle, I kinda felt discouraged. While others here have lost and have just kept progressing. I'm kinda moving backwards. I had a lot of stuff I wanted to film, but it was very hard considering I work full time and don't own a camera or even have a decent spot to film. I do not want to compete in the next battle. Good luck to the finalists!

lou, you can use the videocam on a reg digi camera or even an iphone. u dont need fancy equipment.  set up a tripod of sorts and let it roll for an hour. edit out your best 6 mins. thats 3 battles and a spare vid. voila.

I don't even have a digital camera or an iphone. All I have is my laptop. I'm not really trying to bring that with me everywhere I go. It's cool though, I understand what you are saying. I usually pull all my stuff when the camera is a) off or b) out of frame.

There's almost an art to self filming your sessions.  The more you do it, the better you'll get at it.

You can get digital cameras with decent filming capabilities really cheap nowadays, probably starting the in $50-70 range if you looked.

Just because you're out of the battles, doesn't mean you have no reason to progress and film.  Just for yourself, try making short edits regularly, and you'll probably notice that the more edits you make, the more motivated you get to learn new tricks, always keeping the idea "What should I put in my next edit?" in the back of your head (not necessarily on purpose, but more sub conciously).

I will definitely keep that in mind. No, I have not looked for a camera yet. The only thing that is keeping me from progressing is not having a spot to ride at the moment. I keep getting kicked out of areas and all the places around here are not very ride worthy. But thanks for the advice, I will keep it in mind.
