tbh i'd rather do one video. like i said i'm not trying to sell anyone anything or convince anyone of anything - it's just a fun project for me. that said, i'm happy to pass the reins over as i don't have the time to do all the project managing for this with work and masters stuff on. guess it comes down to what the majority of people want to do!
much as that video is nice, and i do like it (i strongly defended it when originally posted last year!), i find it a bit cringe (okay, fine, it's the word fixie, it's awkward and terrible). as i said i'm not that into biographies and people explaining loads of their backgrounds. it probably stems from not really feeling the need to explain myself a lot when it comes to this - what i had in mind was a skate-video-esque 2min30secs of girls shredding it on different disciplines to a fast paced soundtrack. maybe something at the beginning like "people tell me all the time that girls don't ride real bikes"..."GIRLS RIDE ALL THE BIKES" [or smth like what adeline posted above - same sentiment). then something at the end like "want to know more on any of this [or something]? head to lfgss.com or [somewhere else]. get in touch!" because it would be nice to actually signpost if people/girls saw it and DID really dig it.
jess whose forum name i've forgotten said at SEs last night that maybe the shorter, skate-style vid could be one with no talking (or just one really A+ quote for teh lolz) and we have a much longer video that has little interviews and things, like what little wheels are doing right now for their "little profiles" thing, more of the thread that @mands mentioned.
idk - guess i could be persuaded to do a series, but i'd have trouble getting my head around the real aim of it, in comparison to a fun mashup video of all the fun female cyclists i know who do loads of things together
