Lots of people pay Ł20 or so to watch Dosage 6 or E11 or whatever.

Apart from, by his own admission, Keith ;)

Downloaded the film last week and had the pleasure of viewing on Friday afternoon after work.

What a properly spankin' job on the video Keith  :thumbsup:
Some lovely scenes catching the Font ambience, as well as the beauty of the area.

Really enjoyed the battle with Gourmandise. Also I'd never clapped eyes on Parthage before  :o fookin great line and well done on getting it last go.

Quite depressing how easy you made some of that look  :-[

Made a wee contribution via yer site, well worth it.

edit - I would have given ya some + karma for it, but I still have my L plates on!

can i ask seriously why people thought that a fifth of people would contribute? this is not to get keiths back up, just a brief look into the human psyche

To me, Keith's film is way better and more relevant than any of that shite...


In what way do you think It's better? Just curious. Si.

Perhaps because Jasper is more focused on bouldering than hard trad (which Committed and E11 focus on, see preceeding sentence which gives context as to 'that shite') :shrug:

Precisely. Not only is it about bouldering, it's about bouldering in my favourite place in the World and contains footage of lots of problems I would like to do. Can't get much more relevant to me than that. Oh and I think it's also "better" because it held my attention throughout, something I can't remember another climbing film doing for a while.  :)

Jas, you're just gonna love the forthcoming film: "Alreet lad-  84 days in Lancashire".  Grand.

Can't wait.

Is that going to be on general release or will it go straight to DVD the "How Not To Climb" Thread?

We were going to produce a font film to rival keith's, it was going to be a case of sticking the camera on a tripod and leaving it, called "Realtime: A week in Font" but the battery kept going, so we were missing vital seconds of footage.

Do I get a medal for the latest viewing of this?? Had it waiting since release, only just watched it.

It's good stuff. Very good quality filming and sound. Shows a pretty cool journey through Font. I like extra "colour" snippets (like the celebration sandwich), would like to have seen more of those. Music wasn't really my bag but consistent and high quality sound. However it's much louder than the commentary, I had to keep turning it up and down.

on an italian forum i post on, someone talked about keith's vid yesterday, and i said: yo, i'm innit, check it out!!!
well, from that very moment, i have been immediately granted with a "wad" status, and one even said "wow tu sei l'uomo del pugno!!" that means "wow you are the man of the fist" (after biceps mou).
i am famous now.
keith, on the other hand, is just a living legend.

I ran into some guy at Fata Morgana at Xmas. He said he had seen some video of a strong English guy latch the pocket on fata and pull through open handed. He said he thought the guy might have been called Keith.....

And it's spelled SYKE by the way.

Could I be really cheeky and ask if some more people could seed the torrent? I left it downloading all night and only got 60mb.
Thanks
