Battle of the event videos | VIDEO
Video content is going to be a big part of SLUK, but we aren’t the only people to realise that it is the way ahead: so have scooter event organisers. What better way to promote your forthcoming event than to show what a great time people had at the last one?
We are still working feverishly on our forthcoming Events listings section. Scooterists will find a fully searchable database of things to do within a radius of their house and be able to list their events for free.
Organisers of larger events however will be able to pay to upgrade their listings to include photo galleries, video content and make them ‘featured’. Video content doesn’t have to come from the organisers themselves: a ride-out video on YouTube showing tons of scooters will raise interest, but you can go a step futher.
Leading the pack in this respect are two events that really pull out all the stops for video event promotion. We want you to decide, via the comments system below, which is better. Whichever one gets more approval, we’ll use it as a featured video on our retro homepage for a few days next week.
Meet the contenders:
Representing Great Britain is Kent’s Big 7 Scooter Club with their promo video for their forthcoming rally; which this year has taken over from Mersea Island as the BSRA National Rally for S.E. England. They’ve used clever animation and a few classic tunes to entertain.
Representing Germany is Spirit of 84 Scooterists with their video review of February’s Scooterist Meltdown weekender where we held our official launch party for SLUK. The fact all the alcohol you can drink is included was not a deciding factor, honest! This video by scooterist Jens Fischer of Fisherman’s Frames uses a mix of tunes from the weekend and those from live performers on the rally.
Comment below and let us know which is best.

Well clearly the Meltdown Vid is the best, and I’ am not saying it because my name is Spirit of 84, that’ s pure coincidence!

Let there be spirit – germany and the meltdown
@
They are both good but Meltdown has it for me.

Big 7 defo (sorry Marcus) x

Both did a great job but Meltdown gets my vote.
@
Big 7 by a mile!
Meltdown looks like fun though-do you bring your own dialysis machine?
@
Meltdown for me. Just cos I’m in the vid.

Both videos are well made, certainly better than I could ever do, but the Meltdown one is for me. Viva the SO84 & Darkside! 🙂

Meltdown baby..!!
