When Blunt Pro Scooters, ShopECX, and Inside-Scooters's own, Ryan Upchurch goes to Europe... madness is bound to follow. There are 540 combos in this video that you hardly ever see, if even at all. Ryan took full advantage of the opportunity to ride in Europe, and even took 2nd place in Pro at the Razor Global Domination Tour.
The banger at the end is a first for sure to be thrown in a vert ramp of that size...or any size. Check out the edit below.
The video was good, but i just feel that the last few edits have been real repetitive. Take a year break from releasing videos, and try to get alot of lines and diversity. I know you are consistent enough. The end result will be amazing. Just look at Terry's Mini 1 for example
First of all, thanks everyone for your responses. And hopefully you all have at least somewhat enjoyed my video.
But in regards to what you have said Nick... I can't say that I agree completely. If I were to just take a one year break from releasing videos, then I would lose all of my sponsors and my current way of making ends meet. I don't think holding back a load of footage makes it anymore special. Yes, I have been working on some different stuff but that's not what this video was about. This was a trip to compete out at Nass, as well as promote my sponsors throughout my travels. I hate to admit it, but the best way of quickly catching the attention of kids riding is to do flashy tricks, which is what you have seen throughout this edit. In competitions, it is the same story when it is not being judged by someone such as you or myself. I have been working on doing some diverse tricks, and innovating a bit, which you will hopefully take a liking to in my next edit. Thanks for the advice though, and hopefully yourself as well as all of the people who have similar thoughts to yours can at least respect this so some extent. Thanks.
Nick shouldn't even comment on editing he's one of the worst and he knowns nothing about what's best for Ryan. Nick doesn't have any sponsors except SZ so he knows nothing about marketing and what sponsors need. That's why. Ryan's riding around the world and Nick is in Riverside
Saving footage is more for if you ride street. For a park rider like Ryan most of his footage will be stale after a month. I have to agree though, a straight full on edit every 1-2 months is a bit much. Especially when a majority of the clips are at the same place (not that this video had that problem). As far as marketing and what sponsors need...look at Lucky and Proto. They rarely release footage yet they are the two biggest companies in the US. There's more to promotion than releasing a web edit every so often. Our sport is slowly learning that.
Anonymous, Nick didn't comment on editing at all. He also works for Scooter Zone and probably knows more about "what sponsors need" than a sponsored rider who just does what he is told.
If you're going to bother to comment anonymously, think about what you're saying and what credibility you'll have without a name. Besides that, please keep the comments constructive, thanks!
i jusss got a bonerrr(:
ReplyDeleteI'm sorry dude, but there's such thing as over-promoting. I stopped giving a fuck so long ago that the 900 didn't even wow me.
ReplyDeleteMatt Andrus - wow, thank you for that video.

ReplyDeleteIf your sponsor wants you to constantly release videos and will drop you if you don't, then your sponsor is terrible. That is all there is to it.
