1.  How are different techniques used to grab the audiences attention in this advert?

One of the techinques used in the advert to grab the audiences attention is the use of the music fitting in sync with what is happening on the screen. The iPod's movement, which gives a cheerful impression to the product and shows that they are interested in the quality. The music used is very unknown, but very catchy and upbeat, which makes the viewer associate the song to the product. The camera shots used are very fast paced and are only on the screen for a maximum of 2 seconds. This keeps the viewers attention on what is happening and makes you eager to carry on watch until the end. The advert is also very short, lasting 30 seconds, which fits with there target audience, and how the technology is rapidly growing.   

1) How are different techniques used to grab the audiences attention in this advert?

2) What does the advert communicate the brand of “Apple”?

3) How is the product of an iPod represented in this advert?

4) What audience do you think this advert is aimed at and why? What will the audience gain from watching it?

The question.

The two films that I am studying are sherlock holmes A game of shadows and Moon. Both films are very different to each other, with both very different storys, and a very big gap of gross profit. Moon made $5 million where as shrlock holmes a game of shadows made $186.8 million. They both use social networking sites as a way of free advertisement, and an easy way of spreading the word about the film. People can also interact and discuss the film with other people. The sherlock holmes film has a of social networking, such as The facebook page for Sherlock holmes a game of shadows, which  has 225,498 likes. there twitter page has 12.677 followers and 433 tweets. The amount of tweets shows that they were interested in keeping the fans very up to date with the film, and were keen to get people involved with the film. They also have a website, which has quite well made, it has lots of features, but isn't very interactive for the user, and gives the impression that it was made in a hurry. The site has features such as being able to watch videos about the film and the story, and has a section in which the user can get involved in the story using there facebook, twitter or google + account to be able to contiune watching the videos to give clues on the what the film will consist of. This shows the instituion is thinking about the audience of the film thoroughly and they are making sure the viewer gets the most satifaction out of the film, as people will watch films for social interaction. Another way how people can really help a film is by making sites and fan pages. These can help both the viewer of the film and the institution of the film, as it they show that people cared about the film and are proud of its presence, and they can also help the film makers if the film didnt get brilliant reviews, they know that there is still a group of people who really enjoyed it and are proud enough to make a site or a page about that film, and i'm sure they can spurr on the film makers to continue the series if possible, and to be proud of their creation.    where as

Moon only has a very small amount of likes, only 1,342. The film was a very "underground" film and its had hidden success. The website just tells you how crucial advertisement for them was because so much effort has been put into the creation of the website. The amount of interaction and all the different things going on in the website is very good. They way everything moves and all the sub links to everything on the page is top notch work. The twitter page for moon is run by a fan, who has brought big advertisement for the film. The facebook page has 210,000 likes which is a hell of a lot more than sherlocks facebook page, which tells us that they had to rely so much on social networking for advertising the film, and spend a big budget of the film on advertisement as it is an unknown film unlike sherlock holmes which has already had a film released before A game of shadows so there need to advertise was less as people would have known about the film and would have automatically watch the next one if they enjoyed the first one, and Moon was coming out fresh and never seen before. Moon's Facebook page posted everything they could possible (even about auctioning the props off!) and by using links to other websites which the film had a connection with, weather it was them selling there film on DVD to articles about the films awards. The film itself was scored higher than any harry potter film on rotten tomatoe, scoring 90%, which very few films ever get that score.

FOR YOU!

"STEVE, STEVE, HUH! NOT SO LOUD" ;-)

The original one.

In one of the most momentous pieces of movie news in recent years, Disney have stumped up $4bn to purchase Lucasfilm and the rights to the Star Wars franchise, with Star Wars: Episode VII set to land in 2015.

The movie will be part of an all-new trilogy, with Episode VIII and Episode IX likely to arrive in 2017 and 2019 respectively. Lucasfilm has already mapped out a new storyline, with George Lucas having consulted on a script for part VII.

“For the past 35 years, one of my greatest pleasures has been to see Star Wars passed from one generation to the next,” said Lucas in an official statement. “It’s now time for me to pass Star Wars on to a new generation of filmmakers. I’ve always believed that Star Wars could live beyond me, and I thought it was important to set up the transition during my lifetime.

“I’m confident that with Lucasfilm under the leadership of Kathleen Kennedy (the newly appointed president), and having a new home within the Disney organization, Star Wars will certainly live on and flourish for many generations to come. Disney’s reach and experience give Lucasfilm the opportunity to blaze new trails in film, television, interactive media, theme parks, live entertainment, and consumer products.

“I have story treatments of 7, 8, and 9,” continues Lucas, “and a bunch of other movies and obviously we have hundreds of books and comics and everything you could possibly imagine. So I sort of moved that treasure trove of stories and various things to Kathy, and I have complete confidence that she’s gonna take them and make great movies.”

Meanwhile, Kennedy confirmed that she is already liaising with writers to advance the script for Episode VII. “We’re in the midst of the really fun part of the process,” she says, “which is we’re sitting down with a couple of writers and we’re starting to discuss ideas and we’re starting to talk about what those stories might be."

Earth-shattering stuff then, and news that’s going to take a little while to process. In any case, it looks like the Avengers and the Justice League are going to have some fairly hefty competition in 2015…

Star wars

My version

One of the most iconic movie news in the past few years, Disney have forked out $4bn to buy lucasfilm and rights to the iconic star wars franchise, with a new movie to arrive in 2015.

The film will be a brand new and exciting trilogy, which will be episodes 7, 8 and 9, which will be arriving to our sreens in 2017 and 2019 as too  

"For 35 years I have enjoyed seeing the star wars franchise be passed down through generation to another"said lucas. "but its now time for it to be made for the new market. I always believed that star wars would carry on from me, and I thought that it would be good to carry it on will i'm still alive.

"I'm confident in lucasfilm to be in the hands of kathleen Kennedy, and Star Wars having its new home in Disney, Star wars will now be able to live on for generations to come.Disney’s reach and experience give Lucasfilm the opportunity to blaze new trails in film, television, interactive media, theme parks, live entertainment, and consumer products."


“I have storys ready of 7, 8, and 9,” continues Lucas, “and loads of other movies and vast amounnts of books and comics and everything you could possibly imagine witth Star Wars. So I just handed over the treasure trove of stories and various other things to Kathy, and I have complete confidence that she’s gonna grab full on, and make some great movies for everyone to love and cherish for years to come.”

Kennedy has already confirmed that she is already discussing with writers about the script for the first episode. " Were in a really fun part of the process right now", she tells us."We’re sitting down with a couple of writers and we’re starting to discuss ideas and starting to talk about what those stories might involve."

Amazing stuff right? I'll leave you for a moment for to digest this all and to get very excited! Dont worry you have plenty of time to, 2015 will be the first movie coming out. The big films are going to have some big competition...

Saving private ryan trailer

Moon Trailer

Technology has improved vastly in just my lifetime, let alone in the last 20-30 years. We have so many different ways of how we see media. The vast improvements in technology have been in TVs. They started with 4 channels and now have thousands. They have slimmed down, become faster, sexier and now an essential in the house. We now have 3D TVs which have improved the enjoyment of tv. It has given chances for company's to make lots of money by internet tvs, which can used for watching things like netflix and love film. Without this change, they could only be making money with computer users, but now a household can love film on their tv, xbox, computer, tablet, phone and the ps3, making films a lot more accessible and alot more advertisement for them. Another way how technology has improved the audience experience is the new technology of 3d cinema films and imax cinemas. These have made the appeal of going to the cinema rocket as most people will not be able to see the film like that anywhere else, ( unless you have a 3d tv but it is still not the same and they are very expensive) and this has caused a boom in films making sure that they are enjoyed the most, if watched in 3d. Another way audience experience has improved is by newspapers and magazines. They have given more advertisements for films and actors, and have played an important role of getting people noticed. Also social networking has played a big role just due to the fact how easy it is to get yourself out their and especially with twitter, people can know alot about someone they've never met before and they can find new people that wouldn't have known about before social networking.

Moon Review

While J. J. Abrams’ Red Bull reboot of Star Trek has triumphantly pulled the Zimmer frame from a rusting franchise, the relaunch is pretty indicative of modern mainstream sci-fi — epic on the dazzle, easy on the brain cells. Given its pondersome heritage, Trek’s facelift as an action series is an invigorating way to go, but it does firm up the argument that the genre of Big Ideas is, nowadays, more about Huge Explosions.

Which is odd because, during the ’70s and early ’80s, American cinema was besotted with sci-fi, not as a rollercoaster ride, but as a vessel for exploring man’s place in the cosmic ink. Duncan Jones’ mesmerising debut is an affectionate throwback to the Blade Runners, Outlands and Dark Stars of the genre, not just in terms of the way it looks, but the way it feels and thinks. From the very moment we land on Moon, the future is sci-fi’s past. The year is 2024 but really, what with the chunky lunar bases, clinical interiors and spooky, mothering computer, its Casio watch is still firmly stuck on 2001. Endearingly lo-fi Tonka Toy lunar buggies bonk over the moon’s surface like it’s space circa 1999. The stranded space-hippy vibe screams Silent Running... And yet, just when you think you’ve seen it all before, Moon fuses a jumble of familiar elements and magics up something original.

The opening act follows all the beats of a castaway movie as we’re eased into the moon boots of Sam Bell, plodding solo around his lunar base, sharing tediously functional conversations with a Kevin Spacey-voiced computer, watching video messages from the wife and generally aching to get the hell out of there. Sedate camerawork and Clint Mansell’s spectral piano score compound the sense of unearthly isolation, but what makes it all so captivating are the lived-in details that ground his solitary confinement — the furry dice in the moon rover, the crumpled Post-it notes, the vac-packed baked beans he slobbily sucks straight out of the bag...

There’s also, however, a softly humming ominous ambience that’s always threatening a lurch into space oddity and when it hits, with the baffling arrival of Bell’s surly doppelgänger, the film warps genres — from character study to twisty-turny existential mystery, and it’s just too smart to spoil. Less a whodunnit, more a whothehellami, while the ingenious script keeps you guessing, a terrific turn from Sam Rockwell keeps you caring. It’s a deeply engaging one-man show and, crucially, puts a human face on some seriously hefty themes (memory, alienation, identity). When he finally cries, “I just want to go home,” hearts will break.

Shot in 33 days and working miracles with a $5 million budget, it’s a Sundance movie in outer space and a relief it escaped the studio black hole. Moon asks proper big, stimulating questions about what it means to be human, without being cold, aloof, poncy or even remotely boring. It also looks, in its own wonderfully Airfixy way, fantastic. If you like brainfood served with your eye candy, take the trip.

Verdict
They do make ’em like they used to — a fresh blast of old-school sci-fi, bursting with ideas and a stellar turn from Rockwell.

Another review

Saving Private Ryan is shattering. There is no other word to describe it. No matter how much you've read about the famed 25 minute opening sequence detailing the invasion of Omaha Beach in Normandy on June 6, 1944 (D-Day), you are still pommelled into horrified silence. The brilliant direction of Steven Spielberg and cinematography of Janusz Kaminski puts you right there on the beach, as a young soldier entering the closest thing to hell on earth. All around you your colleagues pray with visible fear, vomit from the rough launch ride through the choppy sea, and get ripped to pieces by the merciless machine gun fire from the enemy up on the hill. Mortar bombs blow limbs from torsos, and deep red streams run down the sand to the lapping waves. Cries of excruciating pain ring in your ears, and yet you must proceed, heedless of the sound of bullets ricocheting off metal barriers.
Such is the intensity of this first half hour that you don't even breathe a sigh of relief when it's over, fearful of the battle flaring up again. I'll say it now: Saving Private Ryan is the most brutal and graphically realistic depiction of the horrors of war in the history of motion pictures. Earlier films tended to portray the heroism of war, and some, such as the Rambo series, even revelled in its glory. Then, in the 80s, with Vietnam a fresh memory, a string of anti-war films (Platoon, Casualties of War) showed what it was really like in those steaming, surreal jungles. But even those pale in comparison to the recreation of the relentless slaughter perpetuated on Omaha Beach. So effective is this sequence that on many occasions later in the film I was afraid of who would get a bullet in the head, or have his throat punctured and blood squirting out. Spielberg is a master at creating suspenseful situations (the unseen shark in Jaws, the T-Rex attack in Jurassic Park, the opening of Raiders of the Lost Ark), and there are plenty in Saving Private Ryan. However, the suspense comes from not knowing whose life is expendable, or when or where the next bullet is coming from.
The story, as such, concerns a mission to find and bring home a Private James Ryan whose 3 brothers have been killed in action within a week of each other. The men entrusted with this mission are Captain John Miller (Hanks), a survivor of Omaha, and his company. The group is the usual ragtag bunch of soldiers seen in many war films, including a loud-mouthed Brooklynite, a Jew who delights in showing off his Star of David to passing German POWs, a bible-quoting sharpshooter, and a sensitive interpreter who is thrown into situations he is ill-equipped to face. Everyone knows their mission is a public relations exercise, and the question of why Ryan's life is more important than theirs is voiced often, but never quite answered. As their leader, Hanks gives probably his finest performance. He knows that winning the war is important, and yet his desire to go home to his wife drives him to complete his mission. The scene where he breaks down and cries is heartbreaking. The supporting cast is solid, and though we do not really get to know them in intimate detail, we can feel their fear and pain.
It seems surprising that after decades of directing and producing fantasy/action/adventure films, Spielberg would be most acclaimed for two films set during World War 2 (the other being Schindler's List). They each show different sides of the war, and though neither is less graphic than the other, Schlinder's List was like a long fuse, showing a slow escalation of the inhumanity of the Nazi machine. Saving Private Ryan, however, is a full-on, visceral assault on your heart and senses that never stops till the film is over. There are many images that will remain seared in my memory, including one particularly painful fight that literally pierces the heart. It is the first film I have seen that showed me what it was like out there in the trenches, and the horror and futility of it all. Thanks to this film, I now look at our veterans with new respect. My recommendation: see it. There probably will not be a more powerful film this year

BBC Review

BBC review of Saving Private Ryan

The release of "Saving Private Ryan" generated a massive hype due to Steven Spielberg having also directed that other Second World War opus, "Schindler's List". Now that Hollywood has moved on and the fuss has subsided, it's clear that an important movie remains.
Much has been written and gasped about the opening 20 minutes as the GIs land on the beaches, only to be mown down by the Germans. Some recoiled at the graphic violence, others praised the realism, while some questioned whether war is really like that at all. The percentage of an audience who can accurately comment is surely small.
What is abundantly clear is that in the massive body of films that deal with World War II, this is one that pulls no punches. It consistently explores the unpredictable and random violence that engulfs and blinds the men within it.
The plot serves only to drag a squad of characters through uncharted peril with few fitting the normal pre-determined 'hero' tag of war films. They're off on a PR mission to find a Private James Ryan and take him home to his mother, who is shortly to learn that her other three sons are dead.
While the men are constantly under threat from the Germans, they are not engaged in a key battle that will help win the war. Without a major event to eclipse proceedings, a greater examination of each man's personal fears is allowed to shine through.
This is not a film that will please everyone and quite rightly so. But no movie about any war can seek to provide answers to every question. What Spielberg does is create a world of frightening carnage in which a small story is played out. As such, this is an important film that deconstructs war machines into separate, frightened men as it so likely was.

All European life died in Aushwitz.

Hi guys, I this is very long, but trust me its worth reading. Its a email my auntie sent me. Enjoy!

ALL EUROPEAN LIFE DIED IN AUSCHWITZ By Sebastian Vilar Rodrigez

I walked down the street in Barcelona , and suddenly discovered a terrible
truth - Europe died in Auschwitz ... We killed six million Jews and
replaced them with 20 million Muslims. In Auschwitz we burned a culture,
thought, creativity, talent. We destroyed the chosen people, truly chosen,
because they produced great and wonderful people who changed the world.

The contribution of this people is felt in all areas of life: science,
art, international trade, and above all, as the conscience of the world.
These are the people we burned.

And under the pretense of tolerance, and because we wanted to prove to
ourselves that we were cured of the disease of racism, we opened our gates
to 20 million Muslims, who brought us stupidity and ignorance, religious
extremism and lack of tolerance, crime and poverty, due to an
unwillingness to work and support their families with pride.

They have blown up our trains and turned our beautiful Spanish cities into
the third world, drowning in filth and crime.

Shut up in the apartments they receive free from the government, they plan
the murder and destruction of their naive hosts.

And thus, in our misery, we have exchanged culture for fanatical hatred,
creative skill for destructive skill, intelligence for backwardness
and superstition.

We have exchanged the pursuit of peace of the Jews of Europe and their
talent for a better future for their children, their determined clinging
to life because life is holy, for those who pursue death, for people
consumed by the desire for death for themselves and others, for our
children and theirs.

What a terrible mistake was made by miserable Europe ..

No, I really don't see a pattern here to justify profiling, do you? So, to
ensure we Americans never offend anyone, particularly fanatics intent on
killing us, airport security screeners will no longer be allowed to
profile certain people. They must conduct random searches of 80-year-old
women, little kids, airline pilots with proper identification, secret
agents who are members of the President's security detail, 85-year old
Congressmen with metal hips, and Medal of Honor winner and former Governor
Joe Foss, but leave Muslim Males between the ages 17 and 40 alone lest
they be guilty of profiling.

The Jews are NOT promoting brain washing children in military training
camps, teaching them how to blow themselves up and cause maximum deaths of
Jews and other non Muslims. The Jews don't hijack planes, nor kill
athletes at the Olympics, or blow themselves up in German restaurants.
There is NOT one single Jew who has destroyed a church. There is NOT a
single Jew who protests by killing people.

The Jews don't traffic slaves, nor have leaders calling for Jihad and
death to all the Infidels.

Perhaps the world's Muslims should consider investing more in standard
education and less in blaming the Jews for all their problems.

Muslims must ask 'what can they do for humankind' before they demand that
humankind respects them.

Regardless of your feelings about the crisis between Israel and the
Palestinians and Arab neighbors, even if you believe there is more
culpability on Israel's part, the following two
sentences really say it all:

'If the Arabs put down their weapons today, there would be no more
violence. If the Jews put down their weapons today, there would be no more
Israel." Benjamin Netanyahu

General Eisenhower Warned Us It is a matter of history that when the
Supreme Commander of the Allied Forces, General Dwight Eisenhower, found
the victims of the death camps he ordered all possible photographs to be
taken, and for the German people from surrounding villages to be ushered
through the camps and even made to bury the dead.

He did this because he said in words to this effect:

'Get it all on record now - get the films - get the witnesses - because
somewhere down the road of history some bastard will get up and say that
this never happened'

Recently, the UK debated whether to remove The Holocaust from its school
curriculum because it 'offends' the Muslim population which claims it
never occurred. It is not removed as yet. However, this is a frightening
portent of the fear that is gripping the world and how easily each country
is giving into it.

It is now more than 60 years after the Second World War in Europe ended.
This e-mail is being sent as a memorial chain, in memory of the, 6 million
Jews, 20 million Russians, 10 million Christians, and 1,900 Catholic
priests who were 'murdered, raped, burned, starved, beaten, experimented
on and humiliated' while the German people looked the other way.

Now, more than ever, with Iran, among others, claiming the Holocaust to be
'a myth,' it is imperative to make sure the world never forgets.

This e-mail is intended to reach 400 million people. Be a link in the
memorial chain and help distribute this around the world.

How many years will it be before the attack on the World Trade Center
'NEVER HAPPENED' because it offends some Muslim in the United States ?

Boogie nights!

How does the narrative engage the audience?

The narrative engages the audience throughout the opening to boogie nights. The use of a continuous scene that the camera follows is very effective as it shows the characters had to be perfect throughout as it is one whole clip. The use of the camera following a in-directional path is very effective as it gives you a much bigger insight into the film and when it was set as we can see so much more. Another way it engages the audience is the originality of using the continuous shot which entices to carry on watching. Also the way we see all of the main characters in the first scene, they do this by focusing the cameras attention on them, and they use the props theory in the opening scene. There is a clear hero, princess and potential villain shown in the first scene and makes us question as too what these characters are going to get up too.

How are women represented in Boogie nights?

Women are represented in boogie nights to be very sexual. We can see this from what they are wearing, such as short shorts, tight tops, which shows that they are conscious as too what men think of them, and that they care about how they look. Also women from this era are outgoing as how the women takes being called " a one sexy bitch" from someone who isn't there husband, this shows that they very outgoing towards men. Also that they are overpowered by men by how they act around men and how the girl kisses the owner of the club, but this is flipped when we see the girl on the roller blades and how the other girl responds to the roller blade girl and talks as she if is her mother. 

How is mark zuckenburg is represented in the trailer?

3. How is mark Zuckenberg represented in the trailer?

Mark is represented in the clip as being not a confident person and not a very popular person when he was at school. We interpret this from the way he speaks in the trailer, his pace of voice is very fast and quiet, a voice you would hear from a weak person. He seemed to be not very popular from the enemy's he has made from creating Facebook. Also that he wasn't scared of people even though that he was going to be sued, the way he reply's to the women in the court at end. He had quite a hard time making Facebook  as people tried to steal the website, be sued for 600 million by his best friend, which shows hes also secretly strong to be that determined to carry on with it. This is shown well by the structure with of the trailer, and the ups and downs that went on with creating Facebook, it was never smooth at any point. The trailer also shows how much he put at risk, just to get "500 million friends"

Question 2

Question 2: How does the tariler engage the target audience?

The trailer engages the target audience using a range of ways. One of these include the camera angle which have carefully been thought about in this trailer. At the start of the clip we see a fade montage of pictures from facebook which are clearly pixelated. This represents how there can be a story behind what we can see, and it can be more than meets the eye. Also they use quick editing shots  which are very fast paced which is in relation to just how fast facebook became sucessful. The music in the trailer is very slow,very downbeat music which works well with what we see as there were ups and downs to making facebook, but throughout, It was a massive struggle. The structure of the trailer is very clever as it is so relateable to any person, and how mark was just a nobody who no one knew of until facebook was a hit and how he overcome those. One peice of dialouge used in the trailer grabs the attention of the viewer. " You dont get 500 million friends withoutb making a few enemeys on the way." This adds a question to the viewer as we are keen to find out what will happen in the story, and leaves us urging to want to watch the film.

Vurbmoto website review.

http://vurbmoto.com/



My review on the vurbmoto website:


The design:


The layout of the website is very plain and simple, in order to not distract the eye when looking at the website. The colour scheme runs throughout the website, its bold, easy to look at colours that work really well. The buttons are very plain and are not hugely clear by the name of them as to what they are, which i think just adds on the curiosity on to what is in that tab, but also is an issue at the same time, as i found that i was forgetting what they were. The front page is very simple too, with not masses going on, just simple, and really effective. It makes it look really clean and tidy, inviting you to look more into the website. There is very little use of advertisements away from motocross in general, i think they have used this to ensure people aren't scared away by them as they can make the site look dodgey.


The target audience:


The target audience for vurbmoto are aged 16-48 and are keen motocross riders or fathers of schoolboy riders. This is due to the use of showing amateur racing, aimed at interesting the kids mainly to see themselves in the videos and to see how their friends got on, and then you have the pro racing side, which is aimed more for the fathers.


Features:


They have Facebook and twitter pages, which both add great interaction with their fans, with the use of discussions, posting all their videos, links to other sites and generally replying to their fans on twitter, which I think they care about their fans, which makes people feel more special. Also they use an chat on the website which helps to make the fans feel part of the community. Their are loads of videos on the website, which shows that they are appealing more to men, as men are more likely to watch a video, over reading an article. They also use links with instagram, with people posting pictures and them showing them on website, which once again, adds to the interactivity.


Peace!

Hillsborough

Hello guys! Just wanted to talk about my feelings on the Hillsborough event that happened in '96. This was a brutal, horrible, event that should never be repeated. People dying that could of been prevented is wrong. Trying the fake and hide the evidence against the police being in the wrong is wrong. I think the worst thing about this is that it could have been controlled if the police weren't so stuck up, I mean, why would people want to crush themselves? why wasn't there more attention focused on the over packed pen? So many questions that need to be answered. The police need to be the bigger ones and just stick their hands up and admit that they were in the wrong. Surely they have a heart, I mean, look at all those friends, family's, girlfriends, boyfriends that were destroyed by the loss of their love one. I think all they need to do is just say sorry. How hard is that? R.I.P those 41 people who died <3

Abit about meh.

This is a little background into me and where my love of bikes started and my second dawn to dusk experience :). The plan for this blog is mainly for school work only, with media studies. But ill try and do some other posts to do with other stuff, like with racing and personal experiences with it. Ill be mainly discussing stuff happening within the news so look out for that. Anyway i'm Matt Gore, 16 and from camarthen. I live with my mum and dad and the little rat of a dog, Alfie the border terrior who's three. I've been into motorbikes since I was 3 and racing motocross since i was 6. At 10 my dad decided to introduce me into enduro, starting off with 1 hour and a half races with wyre forest enduro club and did so for a few years. Then started to want to do more extreme races and more harder events so i decided to start doing Carl tileys in wales. The events are always really good and are well organised. After doing a few of them, just to mention they are double the time of the wyre forest ones and I was racing with adults when i should be still in the kids races! Then last august me and my good friend Jack Davies from cwmncarn, raced the dawn to dusk 6 hour 2 man race. We ended up coming 4th after just missing out by 3 seconds on going out on the next lap, meaning we would of probably got third. I find the event okay and it really suited my riding style. So after leaving we said we would do it next year and get on the podium. 2012 arrived and the suzuki was not able to be ridden due to the constant engine problems caused to burn a huge hole in my dads pocket so i didnt ride for months, which didn't bother me too much as I still had downhill to keep me busy. And then in early July, I got my new bike, a brand new honda crf 250x. I had a matter of a month and abit to get used to the bike, set it up, and run it in. But in the end it all paid off. The honda worked a treat in the this years Dawn to dusk. I got the holeshot and we ended up 2nd overall, even when i got a flat tyre on the last5 miles of the last lap. Result! Was very impressed with it and was a big relief of getting on the podium and the honda working a dream! Cant wait for next years dawn to dusk! Peace! Links to the clubs mentions below:

So, THQ  are rubbing it in in peoples faces that they have are not making anymore games even more this week. They have announced that the glitch involving Canadian players not being able to see there suzuki and honda bikes they bought, which they cannot see, is not being fixed. Ha. How nice of them. Now they have announced that all places that have bought the suzuki, and honda bikes from the DLC will now loose them and they wont be refunding. Right, how is that fair when people, like me, have spent at least £10 on the bikes for this game, are now being told that we cant use them. Can they be any worse to their fans who have sticked with the franchise throughout?! It just goes to show how much they couldn't care less about their fans and are only worried about money. Typical.
