Recommend me a Bleau video
April 04, 2011, 01:37:22 pm
I am taking a school group to Bleau and was going to show them my old VHS vid Bleau, which i think gives a nice overview of the history, ethics and classic boulder locations/problems. With some interviews with Bleausards.

The only video player in school is connected to a small TV and has bad picture and sound.

So can anyone recommend a good film available online (doesn`t need to be that long) that they reckon sums up the place and will get them psyched? They are all lads aged 15-18 and are keen. I have copies of Uncle`s productions, which although quality, are a bit high level.

Any ideas much appreciated.

Surely the most appropriate video you could show them is the greatest font video ever produced.....The Real Thing.

OF COURSE!!
No disrespect to Neil but The Real Thing is the only real choice. The only problem is that they might literally explode with psyche..

Very interested in this video. Anyone know anything about where I might get a copy or be able to "sort" me a copy?

Cheers...

"With Jacky Godoffe, Christophe Laumone, Marc le Menestrel, Philémon Dumez, Marc Montchaussé, Laurent Avare, Catherine Miquel, Dany Riche, Philippe le Denmat, Jo Montchaussé, Baptiste Briand, Sébastien Frigault, Stéphane Brette, Stéphan Denys, Alain Thibault, Cathy Jolibert."

And, ahem, a very brief appearance by some very large American climber. Those bastards gave me no credit at all and I even helped them carry equipment around Cuvier! I'll have a word with my attorney about this...

If i can borrow Krank`s copy in time, then I will introduce them to Ben and Jerry`s road trip instead. Otherwise I am certain they will be impressed with Pierre`s(??) 8a slab climbing.
