Help
Hi everyone!
Just wanted to introduce myself. I am Kirsty and I thought you would be interested in a new great website!
It is yoorgooroo.com. It ‘promises to revolutionise online sports teaching’ and it is a great concept
1. users video their BMX technique problem and upload it
2. they browse yoorGooRoo.com's selection of GooRoos and choose one on the basis of experience, language, user rating and price
3. the GooRoo analyses the problem and uploads a personalised video solution
4. the user downloads the solution to their technique problem
5. the GooRoo is paid by yoorGooRoo.com
I really think it is going to work as people are now familiar with the process of making a video and uploading it to a web site
There is a huge untapped market for personal sports tuition from experts, (DVD's, specialist magazines, books or existing "HowTo" websites are NOT "one to one")
Also many professionals are familiar with new technology such as video making and editing
It is pre launch but recruiting now. Great way to earn extra cash or improve your BMX.
They ask that if you want to be a GooRoo you need to understand your sport inside out, be able to teach and have some basic ability to edit a movie using one of the video editing packages available, consumer or professional
Oh and they are also running a draw to win an HD video camera if you sign up!

I really don't think it'll work to be honest. It's a good idea but not everyone has a camera. And the quality is shocking, how would be able to help when it's youtoob quality? I know it's a beta and all..
I think you should go back to the drawing board before releasing/ promoting the site.
Also that officially was not a disaster to revert (on the bmx video). Reverts always have both wheels on the floor.

I don't think it would work either due to the fact that people can get help for free in person off people who can already d stuff. All they have to do is ask. Then at the same time people host how too's on websites all the time and not many people are going to want to pay for virtual tuition on anything i do not think... Just my opinion really. good luck though.

I have spoken with the guy doing the website and his thoughts are sometimes people might be too embarrassed to ask friends or want to come out and surprise their peers by doing a new move.
I suppose this could happen.

Not being funny but people will rather ask there mates then pay money. There your mates for a reason and you just aint embarrassed around them. Especially if you are new to something they will help you. Another thing is the fact that 90% of the BMX world that this would apply to would be teenagers..Not many have money and not being funny but i do not think there parents are going to be paying for them to learn to BMX because they are scared to ask their friends.
