Everything’s amazing and no one’s happy

This has to be one of my all time favourite YouTube clips. Louis CK talking about how spoiled people have become as a result of the constant and omnipresent technology and technological advances that everyone seems to take for granted.

Every time I see someone complaining about the tiniest, most insignificant flaws with something that’s otherwise awesome I think of this clip. I think the worst one is people who complain about free things—people who complain about Twitter and Facebook et al, I just think ‘Seriously, stop nit-picking and complaining about free stuff. You pay nothing for this, so in turn they owe you nothing’.

Anyway, I’ll let Louis put if far more eloquently and amusingly than I can…

We’ve lost a lot of gratitude and it’s not nice. Be grateful for what you have got and don’t bitch about what you haven’t.

This is my second full length trials video. Filmed over summer–winter 2010, I stayed pretty much entirely in Leeds for this one. It features my biggest riding to date, so I’m pretty pleased with how it all came together.

The song is Dirtywhirl from Return To Cookie Mountain (iTunes link) by TV On The Radio.

Many thanks to Suze, Jake and the rest for following and filming me!

This is my first full length trials video on my new bike. I moved from 20″ to 26″ in March 2010 and this is the outcome. It’s all filmed in the North of England, mainly in Leeds but a few sections in Manchester.

Thanks to all who helped my put this together, and to Luke Cockshott for pushing me to success in the very last clip.

The song is Motion 5000 from Brand New Second Hand (iTunes link) by Roots Manuva.
