on the cover where is the picture taken from ?

[Blunk]

Been waiting for this to come out, just found out my credit card number has been stolen and had to cancel the card, so now must wait to order the vid! 

[Blunk]

Whilst waiting it occurs to me, are British DVDs coded differently than US type? We had this problem in France, couldn't play the French DVDs on a US machine.

[fatboySlimfast]

In theory yes they are coded differently, however lots of dvds now are non regional especially on small run things like this cos its cheaper! Also loads of dvd players are multi regional. Might be worth checking before you buy though

[Jim]

I doubt it'd be regionally coded but its pretty easy to get around by coping it or by hacking your dvd player. most DVD players have a hack to make them multiregion.
HERE is a good starting place to look

[Blunk]

Cheers!    Hacking sounds interesting...

[SA Chris]

Hacking is a piece of piss, especially if it's a cheap DVD player. The cheaper ones are more mass produced so the components are identical the only regional difference being the code they put in. Mine was £50 and now plays US and Far East DVDs.

Covers at Burbage South think??  - Fuji Heavy Industries?

[ian h]

i thought it was burbage but i thought  poss north or west, whats the problem ?

[Somebody's Fool]

Looks like The Alliance at Burbage Earl to me.

[ian h]

your prob right not been up that way in over a year

earl ?

[dontfollowme]

Anyone know what the track used on the trailer is? On the current trailer it starts around 30 seconds in.

Cheers.

[a dense loner]

it is the alliance, a kind of lib-lab pact for the cover. a few of us started to call it burbage earl to distinguish it from burbage south, cos the rock reminded us of earl crag, a good few years ago. please can we have no retro-claiming on the name, i named it that 2 years before you etc etc

[Monolith]

Received it for Christmas and was impressed by the whole thing including the variety of music. Particularly liked the boulder-off format too!

[a dense loner]

i thought that bit was shit and very embarrassing

[Monolith]

Perhaps should have lasted a little less time as it did, and maybe gone to a tie-breaker, but a novel idea none the less. How come you weren't climbing in it Dense?

[Jim]

Dense doesn't climb. he's a professional moaner

[a dense loner]

don't get me wrong i liked the idea of a face-off. wanted to see them doing the same probs tho, preferably in different ways as suits there own innimitable styles. just found them doing different probs stupid for that scenario. that's my only negative about the vid. aside from the obvious i don't climb in it
as for me not being in it, i didn't deserve to be. most of the vid was shot early last year and this was the tail end of me climbing like a sack of shit for 18 months. that and other things like when i did have a couple of moments they were filming everybody and their dogs on spare rib etc. it was enough to know that i motivated thomas

[Falling Down]

The best bit of the video for me is seeing all the new problems at unfamiliar places away from the usual honeypots...

[hongkongstuey]

that's my only negative about the vid.

I dunno, personally thought the text / graphics effects were quite lame and would have been a lot better with clean cuts to include them instead of dodgy effect fade ins, flaming words etc...

The climbing footage was pretty good though (apart from the bits that cut off before people actually finished problems - pet hate) - gave it the ultimate test of viewing from a couple of mates who've never even touched grit (never even heard of Brad Pit either) and they liked it

[Monolith]

Aye, I hear you on the titles, but can you imagine a 'non-serious' (as claimed by the producers) bouldering film obeying the 'serious' codes of television. It'd end up more like News at Ten.

Personally, I find the flaming titles and camp pink type rather endearing 

It was a little strange how the boulder-off wasn't on the same problems yes. As you say Falling Down, it was great seeing 'new' venues for us non-peak locals.

Here's to an end to climbing doldrums for the new year Dense.

[a dense loner]

last year, 06, was fine. 05 was annus shittis. hopefully 07 will be annus lotofshitdoneis.
forgot about the flaming titles etc, watched the extra's n stuff the other nite. all in all i thought it was good. would have liked to have seen more of james and the grand doights, but you can't have everything

[Jim]

for those in need of seeing dense in action check the extra's section.
witness such feats as:
pouring hot vimto into a cup balanced on his knee!
and also the profesors of pinch section where he is put to shame by adam
dynamite

[unclesomebody]

There is only one professor of pinch, and his name is M.U.L.E.

[Doylo]

yer not wrong

[a dense loner]

yet again you two show you worship power above all else

[Doylo]

i worship M.U.L.E, the power is part of the package (along with a hefty schlong)

[a dense loner]

you can't say fairer than that. i have just purchased earplugs

[M.U.L.E]

And i have just purchased a butplug!

[Falling Down]

Aha.... nice one. Have a gold star!

[monkey boy]

I just watched this while training and saw Bonjoy doing a very cool looking problem. Double bum, was it?I have forgot the name already and cant be bothered to check! Its 7a and was just wondering where it was.

Is it as fun as it looks?

Cheers

[SA Chris]

Aha.... nice one. Have a gold star!

Miser. Give the boy a wad point.

[Somebody's Fool]

Re: Double Bum.  It's at Gardoms, about 30 yards to the right of Apple Arete.  And, like the name suggests, it is tres bon.

[Bonjoy]

Double Bum is at Gardom's middle/south, not far from the new stuff I did a few month back. If you have a route guide it's the bay to the right of Cydrax in the Apple Buttress area. Some info and directions on this thread: http://ukbouldering.com/board/index.php/topic,6239.40.html
It's a top move, big lunge for a horizontal pinch.

[fatdoc]

NICE...

grade???

sorry if it's explained on the DVD.... only watched it a few times.
