Sequence Saturday 15

by Ian Hylands  
bigquotesMartin told me about a line he wanted to do. I thought that it would be a great Idea so we packed everything up and went to that spot. He was doing some warm up runs and I was building up my camera gear. As I heard about the line I suspected that he will need a hundred tries to get it done. He actually pulled it on the forth try and then did it like 10 times.
The lighting was tough, bright background and dark shadows in the front. I was not able to get my flash rate high enough, so I had to do it with natural light and do some retouching afterwards.
I barely shoot sequences, but with crazy combos like this you need them to tell the story. If you have the tailwhip frame alone you would think its "just" a single whip down some stairs.

 There is a lady sat on a bench on the right of the picture, between 11 and 12 she magically disappears... she must be a ninja

 It's because this whole sequence is faked. There is no way those other 3 people just appear on image 10 then disappear on 11. Disappointed Pinkbike. Disappointed

 yeah, 10-12 are not part of the same sequence that 1-9 is. still sick titties anyway.

 better be dissapointed in my 5d markII. she didnt managed to get one clean sequenze out of it, so i had to get to get two images in. its real

 The granny got of the bench so quick because she wanted a try on the sequence obviously!

 i think as this is not a legitimate sequence pinkbike should give everyone a free bag!

 i'm even going to say 10 is part of a 2nd sequence, and 11-12 are part of a 3rd. check out how the tree shadows are working on the ground. you'll see what i mean...

 Don't worry, Granny's OK. She just got dressed up like Darth Vader and moved to the end of the bench. More concerning is the entire family that disappeared while he was getting his feet back on the pedals.

 It's Houdini, and this is part of his magic trick, he passes the people in the back ground and once he passes they disappear!!

 This isn't a legitimate sequence...frames 1-9 are part of the true sequence, but frames 10-12 were added in. You can tell frame 10 by the people in the background appearing, and with frames 11-12 it's pretty easy to see how drastic the shadows have changed.
  • 23 1
 I prefer to think it is a Ninja granny.
  • 2 0
 The granny started to get up when she saw the BMXer crash after 1-9, but it took her two more shots to do it.
  • 1 2
 its possible that the wind was blowing and that made the shadow of the tree different...
  • 2 0
 but the shadows on the buildings behind also move in a similar fashion to those from the tree
  • 1 0
 i think its the wind, look at the fountain in the background, the water moves with the shadows too.
  • 1 0
 There is a gold car in the background that disappears, a dad with what looks like his two daughters disappearing, and another woman appearing on the bench. The shadows on the buildings change as well on frame 11.

 Its all about the combos. If you gotta make it a double, make it a double, if you gotta make it a tripple, make it a tripple. If you gotta throw a PHAT bar hump to no foot can to side saddle lander to flat, throw it. You gotta do what you gotta do. Enough is never enough. 180 to ninja people dissapearing to fakie tailwhip is somthing. But this guys not doin it for the hustle. You gotta really want it. When it comes to throwing down insanely dope combos, no matter what you are doing, you are not doing enough. so make it a double and add 9 bar spins. May the combo be with you.

 180, fakie, ... stairs, ramp, or rail? I'll take the stairs with some coolhwip

 Last week, I told you about discretizing a complete rotation into sequential shots. We came to the conclusion that we needed at least two pictures per rotation to render the "impression of movement". Last week' sequence was oversampled and the trick was rendered flawlessly. This week though, we have a full tailwhip rotation exposed on a single shot, which degrades the sequential flow. Thus, we are experiencing aliasing due the sampling rate of the camera.

 Grammy in the back is all like..."Cause i Jizzed in my pants"... And just ran away. Hahaha

 What's everyone bitching about?? Clearly the family in the background and the old lady were blown away by the tornado like winds caused by this guy! Still a sick trick regardless
  • 2 0
 If you look at the water fall behind him in the last few clips the water changes direction so the wind must have changed which ment these were two different sequences
  • 1 0
 Its a full sequence the people I the background just move and you can tell the moved shadows are caused by the wind as the tree on the right side sways a lot in theist 2 photos

 First i thought: "Wooow, no way!"
After a closer look, there was no way he could make that sick combo, without faking it.
You don't even have to land tailwhip to make this sequence Razz

 Mike Buff was once photographed dropping from the roof of The Bicycle Source on his PK Ripper. Now that was a sequence. Not to take away from the riding, but this is just computer-enhanced hooey.
  • 2 1
 what do you mean with computer enhanced hooey ?
  • 2 1
 To me a "sequence" is a continuous set of images, taken in a single shot or "take". Not digitally assembled / selected images from multiple takes into the best possible "sequence". That is one of the things that makes an action sequence so fantastic - the capturing, in consecutive order, of "a complete unit of action" (as the definiiton goes).

Again - not to take anything away from the rider or riding, itself. Sick trick.
  • 3 1
 selecting images has nothing to do with computer enhancing something. But if you want you can buy me a 7d ore a 1D X, so you can see "legit" sequenzes from now. people on the internet these days. hahahaha
  • 1 1
 True - 'selecting' and 'enhancing' images are two different things (both of which I think you did to this "sequence"). But I'm not interested in starting a debate, kiddo (lol). Just expressing an opinion. In the end, its about the riding, and I'm fairly certain that's something we can both agree on.
