Sequence Saturday 13
While at Woodward West Sam Davies captured Pat 'Big Daddy' Laughlin doing this big 720 whip. Not a lot of frames, but more than enough to tell what's going on here...
We didn't get any words from Sam by the time this went live, but it's our first BMX sequence. When I'm shooting sequences it's often been a bit of a struggle trying to decide on the right frame rate for a specific shot. In the past sequences were usually composited into one shot in an image editing program, and if you shot too fast, say 11 frames per second, there were often many overlapping frames and you had to decide which ones to use. You also ran the risk of filling the buffer on your camera and not getting the whole thing. If you shot too slow sometimes you missed the peak shot of the trick. (IMHO sequences are only really useful for showing a complex trick, or something that is really big and hard to comprehend. Maybe I'm opinionated but I really don't like sequences of people doing a basic trick) And even at 11 fps you can miss full extension on a quick tuck no or a snappy clicked turndown. This sequence by Sam was probably shot at around 3.7 fps, that's the max that his Canon 550D will do, and while it's pretty slow by pro DSLR standards, it still managed to perfectly capture this trick. - Ian Hylands

P.S. This is not a cheeky attempt at winning the rucksack by just posting a vid- first comment wins it for me hands down.
Are you sponsored?
You see that skater snake me?
i agree with "gavlaa" moto whips are wicked
DUDE my fitted cap flew off on that spin!
I used to ride a 26", but then it went mainstream.
"Hope my girlfriend doesn't notice I stole her jeans for this shoot"
-"brakes are over rated"
-"yo how much does that frame weigh"?
-yo how much does that fork weigh"
-"yo how much does the whole bike weigh"
"Are these jeans skinny enough?"
"Will this Wooly hat protect my head?"
"Whats a helmet?"
"I was gonna do a bar..."
"hey, try this line"
"no, no, it's like, from here to here *absurd hand motions"
"Free coaster? a*shole.."
"wut up with the mtb dude?"
For the record, my pants are never tight enough
"hey can you sponsor me so I can afford these peggs?"
"can I have your stickers? They are going on my ride"
"I know you are bizzey but can I be in the workshop and fix my wheels?"
5minutes later
"hey can you fix this? I can't really fix wheels"
Big Daddy here, aka Heating the Whole Place Up With It!.
This trick has been marinating in the kitchen for a while son, but now I'm Hittin' em with it!"
Check it: bmx.transworld.net/1000136419/videos/the-union-presents-three-days-with-big-daddy
"Its cold out, cant ride today"
"Ha, that kids wearing a helmet"
"How do my pants look?"
"Is my underwear to far out?"
"I need new tan wall tires."
"Theres to many skooters"
"Theres to many skateboarders"
"Theres to many kids who cant bike"
"If im not the best there, im not going"
"Forget this place....Curling and Golf are on T.V. this afternoon"
are my skinny jeans to skinny?
26 ers are so gay
dame i broke my chain!!
do u have a chan fixer?
is that jump sketchy?
r my pant dirty?"
"Wow! Cool trick man!"
"Hey, although your wheels are 26", we both enjoy riding bikes so lets just have fun and ride."
"Hey mtber, wanna ride together?"
Seriously, I got mad respect for Bmxers. I dunno how they do some of the stuff they do with no suspension and smaller wheels.
" it was only a single wall rim, shoulda put on that double walled rim i have at home before casing that backflip"
"Those are some sweet looking nipples you have bro."
"whats the point of a mountain bike in a skate park!"
"If ______ switched to Mountain biking he'd kill the rest of the competition!"
"BMX is soo much better!"
Suck it up guys, BMXers ride just as dangerously and just as hard as we do, it's just a different style of riding and culture. Let's just ride, and leave the hate at home. And if you have to bring out the hate, don't. No one likes that, BMX and MTB alike. We're all in it for fun, so maybe we should just have fun and live with the fact we're different kinds of riders, but that we respect each other in our own ways. Or in short,
Shut up and ride.
"I wish this park was better for biking"
(does trick once)
Duuuuude I got that dialled
(can't do it again)
yo it's to crowded here lets peace it
"leme get a sip of that"
"yoooooooo!!!!!!!"
"whhatttt?!?!!?"
"helll yeahh!"
"i got it.."
"If you bust out one more big trick like that...I'm going home!!"
"I was gonna do that but my chain in not lubed properly"
"I'd rather be Figure Skating whilst listening to Celine Dion"
That even made me laugh!
"its a good thing that I wore my brothers short-short...cuz my cowboy boots are killing my feet"
"hey...do you think that these jeans makes my ass look fat?"
"why do you need suspension? its not asif you actually ride mountains, on your MOUNTAIN bike.."
"what's the weight on that?"
"f*ck me im cool"
Friend "OMG THAT WAS HUGE"
"Meh it was pretty good"
"hah look at that *ag on the fixie"
"whered you get that frame"
"i think i need taller bars"
"im a real daredevil cuz my wallet is not chained to my pants"
"where is my hunking turbospoke, i want some speed feedback!"

Why do veterans get no respect?"
"bike is just circles turning circles"
www.youtube.com/watch?v=Re2FQZK54oA
He's gay because he doesn't want to play B.I.K.E.

"Stu Thompson has spindley legs"
"If I had gears I could do that"
" dude totally shotgunned a monster before that"
"Wanna trade bars?"
"Im not a BMexican?!"

"You wanna go mess up the mtb trails."
"Ya stupid mtb guys, 26 is too big"
"Lets go"
"justin beiber wouldn't be as gay if he rode bmx."
"I could do better with a bigger jump"
"I wish that I had some suspension"
"Woodward SUCKS!!"
You must be 5 years old?
Do you know what the word irony means? Let me share some knowledge with you, weak minded one!
IRONY- the expression of meaning using language that normally expresses the OPPOSITE!
I thought the whole point of this particular "Sequence Saturday" was to poke fun at what a shitty BMXer would say at a truly amazing trick combo
I personally believe Woodward is the very best of its kind!!! There is NOTHING better.
Well I guess I'm not going to win the prize
and the point of this was to make fun of the stupid shit 20in riders say your correct, which is why i asked " what bmxer has ever said that? find me one rider that has ever said that"
What "lil-shredda509" spits out his hole...
"you would feel better if you had a dress on"
"That 26's are too heavy..."
ha I kid , I kid
