Burley undercuts to high non holds

That's the one.

Good grief.

any word?

When I saw the thread title appear I actually felt giddy...

Saw the great man last Saturday. Had intended to meet him at Kentmere but the forecast was not good so went to his house. He had a training session on his board and I asked questions between goes. We then had a sit down interview interupted by us taking a trip to Asda so I could get another memory card.   

I think we will do two versions. A short one with best bits and a longer one with all the minutae about board setups etc that might be of less interest to the wider climbing public.   

I've been reflecting about the things he's said. It's been eye-opener for me in terms of the dedication and application. Definitely not worthy 

Guy's on with edit and then we'll pass it back to John to check before posting it up.

If anyone's got pictures or footage of him that we can use and cut in that would be great.

Who was it who did the hand drawn sketch of Gaskins' head with THE vein?

[Monolith]

Tom Jennions I believe. His drawing of the hand was also amazing. Think I've asked him for a print of these before but I'll see if I can get him to unleash them online again. So good!

[Doylo]

Did you get any footage of him on his board?

This is better than x-mas

So excited to see it.

[Doylo]

I feel G-iddy

Any chance you can use some of the unseen footage he has never done anything with?

[masonwoods101]

reckon talking about climbing again may get him psyched again and back on rock?

[DubDom]

I think I might have some super 8 (of all things!) of him bouldering in Ireland from about 10 years ago, although I may have given it to Dave Flanagan - I'll have a wee look.

He's been climbing recently, and training.

I reckon him unpsyched is the equivalent of me at my most psyched +2

He was amazed at the potential over there

Unfortunately its not in his possession. I wouldn't hold your breath but hopefully will see the light of day at some stage.

[fatneck]

So psyched.... 

[Nibile]

Casual laps of 8b's on his board and crimped pinky onearmers, I bet.

[SA Chris]

I'm so excited a bit of wee just came out.

[Dave Flanagan]

Think I have it all Dom. Used your camera in Lough Bray I think.

[AdamD]

I think this is what's known as 'The Second Coming'. I hope he gets super psyched and goes and climbs all those American 'hard' problems!

Here you go. Not very interesting really.

[Monolith]

Do you think this might be launched pre Christmas Shark? Release on the 25th December would make it the best present I've ever received. Just think of those elated smiles on the faces of your children come 6am Christmas morning and multiply my expression times 1000000000000000000000000000.

P.S. Wish I would have pm'd you prior to the interview to see if I could have had my favourite crimp signed. Alas.

Guy has probably finished the initial edit by now though we'd like to include some photos and footage but that may not happen. We then just need to John to confirm he's happy with it before putting it out there.

Probably do it in two longish videos. The first quizzing him whilst he's having a session on his board and the second which is when we did a sit-down interview.

I hope expectations aren't too elevated - there's nothing especially revelatory but it should give a good picture of the man, his methods and motivations.
