I like over-caffeinated sugary drink company (mostly the taste) and drink it happily on occasion.

I haven't seen a single thing I like about over-caffeinated sugary drink company EXTREEEEMising adventure activities / sports.

I bought the Island One and I am fairly happy it is now on Youtube as it isn't really up to the standard of the usual full length climbing film purchases, nor what I would have hoped from DG.

Official video now up on YouTube....

Is this just the special features from the last Reel Rock, or a new thing?

No idea, I don't have the last Reel Rock.  I used "Official" because of who posted it to YouTube (click through to find out).

I like the strange camp fire scene at 15:30, one guy playing a wooden flute with a feather sticking out the end while the dude next to him psyches up listening to his Ipod..........

Chained quickdraws at 13:47 don't get clipped. Then at 14:07 we seem to be looking at the same bolt, but with only one quickdraw on it, which has become clipped. Is this because some pre- or post- FA footage has been inserted?

Looks like a different quickdraw/bolt to me, and there are some missing moves, so I assume its one of the higher bolts and a section of climbing has been edited out.

Looks to me like the footage from above and left is non-send footage, whilst the send footage is the stuff shot from the right, level with the bit you're talking about.

The Alex Honnold and Cedar Wright 'Sufferfest.'  Quite entertaining.

Makes the Welsh 3000s look tame, even if you do include Bristly Ridge.

Wide Boyz streaming on the Hot Aches site til the 7th of April, in exchange for your e-mail address.

well worth it imo. Way better than the RR7 cut.

You get to see more of the other stuff they did besides Century Crack(hint -- it was a lot!) and also much more details about the Century send itself. Inspiring stuff.

The clue is in the name "RR7 cut" is exactly that, a cut of the full DVD (which is whats free to stream). 

[Wood FT]

Actually wasn't the RR7 cut of Wide Boyz a totally different edit of the same basic material and with a different voice over? There was definitely stuff in the RR7 version that wasn't in the Hot Aches version, even though it was much shorter.

this ^ , my understanding is that contributors send in footage and editorial guidance but it's very much RR's baby in regard to the final piece, might be wrong.

[slackline]

Fairy-muff I've not seen the RR edit, just assumed it would be a rehash of the full video.

[SA Chris]

Liked that.

Yep, amazing. Surely he could do with someone actually giving him a decent spot though?

[Fiend]

This just about scrapes into the Quality thread due to the clear footage, beauty of the route (Tommy, you and Pete got flights booked yet?) and a nice interview, but fuck me the editing is annoying. Just show more continuous climbing FFS.

[Muenchener]

 

Fantastic looking route, fantastically irritating editing. I like the voice-over, but I would also like to see more than one move at a time.

[Muenchener]

Wide Boyz

Well that was excellent. Found the sequence of Pete on the placing gear on the lead ascent genuinely gripping even though I knew how the story ends.

[Tommy]

Sorry only just noticed this thread.

RR7: basically reel rock buy into the original footage of WB1 and then produce whatever edit they want. That time it involved sending me and Pete a number of requests to film extra scenes which I suppose fitted in their own particular take on the story. There were some requests that we definitely were quick to refuse on! I think the one where we took our tops off and flexed our muscles at eh camera was high on that list....

Fiend: yeah I was due to go out this year to try the route but work and injury got in the way. Apparently it is a total sun trap so almost impossible to try at this time of year now.

The editing on principle hope route is the way it is as jacopo had to go back and film for it and it's not ascent footage I think. I therefore presume he wasn't keen to climb the bold crux again for camera hence the bitty nature. It didn't give much beta away did it?!
