Just a steady ride. Don’t know how I got the KoM. Honest.

    I really was soft-pedalling. Wasn’t trying, etc.

    Your next video needs a
    Your next video needs a story, you need to be invested in it. If its about pushing yourself you need to make an idea about that, if that makes sense?

    Thanks for the feedback –
    Thanks for the feedback – especially to BashTheBox who was kind enough to give a bit more personal email feedback, too, and telling me it was shit đŸ˜‰ – and for the tip on frame rates (Cycle_Jim).

    After the initial rush (it’s a weakness of mine…!) I’ve updated it quite a bit and taken on board everyone’s feedback too. It’s shorter, less juddery, has a bit better pace between the slips and generally I’m happier with it.

    It’s here now…

    All a learning curve – I could take offence from comments but that’s purile – as Gkam84 assumed, I’m not ‘from’ Planet X – I’m a rider… that’s all. No money changes hands, and hence it’s sort of okay to be amateurish… but hopefully this is a bit neater this time round.

    THANKS ALL! đŸ˜€

    If that was shot by Planet X
    If that was shot by Planet X themselves, then its bloody awful marketing.

    From what I can see, Dave might only be a sponsored/team rider? making an amateur video in homage to Planet X?

    If that’s the case, its not that bad.

    IF your going to do ‘slow-mo’
    IF your going to do ‘slow-mo’ effects you need to film at a higher frame rate! Its an awful video considering some of the brilliant adverts I’ve seen (Garmin for example)
    Why don’t you get a proper film maker/advertising company or designer to do this for you…

    If you post commercial video
    If you post commercial video on a forum, and it’s shit, expect criticism. Telling your customers to lighten up doesn’t reflect well on you as a brand either!

    I’m all for cheap and cheerful so long as it captures the imagination. This doesn’t. No story, no character, annoying music, too long and too obvious.

    Planet-X, I do really like
    Planet-X, I do really like you as a shop, so I hope you don’t take this badly – but that’s a terrible video and really cheapens you as a brand. I assume it was done on the cheap – fair enough – but doing things on the cheap badly reflect terribly on you.
    Your biggest problem is convincing people that your relatively cheap carbon can compete with the expensive, big name brands – and to do that, you need to make them look as professional, as polished as possible. This does the exact opposite.
    Lots of love,
    A professional video monkey.
