An Afternoon In Watford


Here’s the latest from Mike King:

“Watford, North London is home to some of the nicest riders to come out of London. With what is far from a decent skatepark, it is beyond me how such a place has spawned such an array of talented riders. We spent an afternoon hanging with some of the locals; with a brief interruption of rain, we headed into town to session a curved ledge untill the park was dry enough to sneak in a few more clips before the sun went down.”

    quote of the day right there..
    the ‘play’ button is to the left buddy, maybe try watching it?

    ZTFO shit it would be good to actually see what half the riding was about. Come on man we all know you have a fish eye because we all saw you filming with it about 30 foot away from what was actually going down at the Simple Session.

  • http://www.ffwdbmx.com Mike King

    jeremy.
    hmmm, i just only ever opt for a fisheye when there truly isn’t a better angle to film from, anyone can point and shoot with a fisheye, and thank god its not you making edits, you’d just make another 90% fisheye video that’d bore the shit out of me.
    i don’t really know what else to say, apart from ‘you dropped your gay card..’
    p.s. i got 3 edits done out of the simpel session, but good effort with the insult..

  • http://Website jeremy

    Well shouldn’t you have opted for a fish-eye for most of your clips in this because really the angles that you found I think that Stevie Wounder could have done better! This all comes down to the fact that you need to start zooming out no one wants to see half a rider ass we need the full picture.

    As for me making an edit, well that aint ever gonna happen, why because I’m not in this to try and pimp myself out like you to try and get a bike sponser.

    Maybe you should just leave it down to people like Craig Tull with film making like his, he is making a difference and people are into it. Why don’t you just steal what he is doing try to make your work look better and maybe then you could actually get a better sponsor deal or just learn to gag a little harder.

    jeremy, my friend, why don’t you leave your last name?
    are you just some other internet fag that just hides behind a keyboard and immediately jumps to assume that every bmxer in the world wants a good sponsor.
    i quit GT because i wasn’t into that shit, and now i ride for a smaller distro, who helps out all my friends and happens to be ran by the most down to earth guy on the face of the planet, which is why i like putting his brand on my videos, do i charge him? no, pretty sure i’m not ‘trying to pimp myself out to get a bike sponser..’ – not too sure how that makes ANY sense seeing as there is not a single clip of me riding in the whole video..
    so i’m pretty sure you’re entire point about ‘getting a better sponsor deal’ is void. again, good effort though.
    craig tull is way ahead of the game, a good friend of mine who clearly has a big influence on me and the way i like to film, but you’re obviously quite a tunnel visioned prick if you think i’m just trying to ‘be like him’.
    also, on that topic, you contradicted yourself rather nicely with the whole ‘you need to start zooming out, no one wants to see half a rider, we need the whole picture..’ interesting as craig tull follows a similar style, using tight shots like that which everyone, even yourself agree looks fucking shit hot.
    i’m not trying to please people like you, i try to make an edit that i think i’ll enjoy, and the majority of the time, other people like it too, if you dont like it, say why by leaving a constructive comment, i’m all for hearing an opinion, but theres really no need to try and get personal.
    p.s. who the FUCK is Stevie Wounder?

    Please stop arguing you fag i’m right, you’re wrong. Want to have butt sex?

  • http://Website Mike King

    Dear Jeremy. OK but you never give, always take. When i bum you i think of christian from eastenders.

  • http://www.ffwdbmx.com Mike King

    Hahaha.
    crackin’ effort once again mate.
    just fuck off.

  • http://Website the real jeremy

    As for leaving my last name, is the internet really the place to do such a thing like that.

    As for Stevie Wonder you might want to watch this he could show you a thing or two. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QwOU3bnuU0k

    Right back to some cracking points on filming!

    Craig Tull is way ahead of the game but he always manages to get the whole of a rider in any clip. It is clear he has a big influence on you and the way you like to film because all you do is copy such a great filmmakers style. Shouldn’t you develop your own style wouldn’t that have separated you from the pack of half of the film makers in the UK. It would just seem that your stuck in such a shit part of them like, Ben Green, Ollie Wainwright and Robin Fenlon to name just a few.

    As for the tight veiw and close ups that “everyone, even myself agree looks fucking shit hot.”
    REALLY! Get fucked people want to see the whole clip the surroundings, what it actually is that they are riding how hard it could be for them to make the trick or how big that knee high ledge really is.

    Do we all feel that way because I sure don’t and what you are basically saying is that everyone only likes to see half of whats happening?

  • http://www.ffwdbmx.com Mike King

    haha, it’s thecomeup, not match.com.
    comments are actually void if you don’t leave your name..
    And listen, just watch the fucking video again, I rarely repeat the same shot and are by no means saying that every shot should just be from the waist down, give me a fucking break.
    all three filmers you just mentioned are really good in their own way, and by calling out those three, i’ve lost the last remaining respect i had for you, as you clearly ARE a tunnel visioned prick.
    sorry mate,
    I’ve lost all interest in arguing with you now.
    if i ever want to speak to someone with the same mental capacity as you in the near future i shall consult snail sanctuary.
