Has anyone watched this yet?! What did you think?

 I downloaded it on the weekend. Wasn't overly impressed with it. They climb some stupidly hard problems but that is it. There's not much history about the problems, there's hardly any failure/falling clips, no dialogue or banter, and then it just finishes.

I watched a few clips of Guntram doing everything at Sustenpass, but when they started the "hood" thing it really put me off. Seeing some strong guys who have nothing to in life but climb with nothing to worry about, act like gangstas seems really poor to me.
I don't even know if they do act like that in the vid, but the idea on its own was enough for me.
Would like to see PB in a street fight...

Paul "lucky" Bennett ?

he'd probably turn up with The Ilkley Ring Pull in his right fist

[Percy B]

He must mean Paul - I'm a lover whinger, not a fighter

[lagerstarfish]

maybe P-Ben and P-Bish could join up as a street fighting tag team?

I haven't seen WTTH

[tomtom]

Team PP?

[Paul B]

Love you too Honey Bunny

Sorry guys, was typing on the bus! I meant PR, aka P-Rob, the 50 kg dynamite kid.

I know what you mean. Seeing them "gangster" it up at the start made me cringe, and talk about their definition of "the hood". However due to the lack of any real talking in the film the gangsterism (definitely a word) stopped as well.

I hear P-Rob has a lethal left hook

[Jaspersharpe]

There's nothing I like more than seeing trust funded white kids without a care in the world pretending they are "street". It's heart warming to see that they understand the realities of "gangster life" and are keen to promote better social integration by acting like total fucking cocks.

I haven't seen this film.

[lagerstarfish]

so, what I'm hearing is that Trust Fund Gangsta is a whole new genre of cockism?

where can one purchase a TFG t-shirt?

we should be careful not to discriminate against those poor unfortunates whose funds have yet to kick in

[jmews]

Agreed. At least this isn't as bad as skiing/snowboarding...or is it the start

FD standing for Fuckdick. What an embarrassment. Came across far too many kids like that working the winter in Colorado; college trust fund kids with fuck off big jeeps bought for their 16th birthday, pretending to be into rap music and thinking they are gangsta, out on the piss every night trying hard to pull and on their days off making it onto the hill by midday to spend a few hours in the park trying to do some shitty grab off a hip and do half arsed grinds on a rail. Douchebags the fucking lot of them.

Trust funds aside, am I giving these guys too much credit by thinking they are just being ironic? Just not executing it so well? I mean, welcome to the wood, that'd work

The opening monologue was 'what does the hood mean to you?.' Disappointed about the complete lack of irony.

[Wood FT]

fair cop then that's moronic

[Richie Crouch]

I've watched it, it was dissapointing. Cringeworthy intro, then no real structure or flow, no dialogue, a few hard problems and a sudden ending where you watch Woods flash Entlinge but with no build up or close ups of any holds..etc

Many others (such as LT11) have made superior films for free download.

[Footwork]

I'd rather watch trust funded gangster Mike Lowry.



Off topic

But the way they behave themselves like that when they have such talent pisses me off. I won't be watching.

Sounds like this film is a limited edition.

[cofe]

No cup holders?

Just a big shiny dick with two chairs in it.
