    Awesome stuff, the hook ET was niiice.

    Sensing the edit part was over and cutting to that drop for ending bails had me scared, I wouldn't have been trying that again :P

    I rode the wave of happiness that my foot wasn’t mangled after launching itself into the floor and went for it again :P 

  2. Considering I’ve been riding 6 years, I’m still very shit, but trials is as fun as ever. Here’s a new edit. Some lines got away from me. I’ll get them next year. Short and sweet. 

    Thanks to Flipp for holding a camera for a lot of this. 

    Merry christmas.

  3. anyone got a song that they would say sums them up in one? im not talking about your favourite song, just one that you relate to in its entirety.

    ill update this when i think of one for me.

     

  4. Full disclaimer on below: my opinion doesn’t matter, he’s far better than I am etc.

    I was never a Fabio fan. I always thought his riding was kind of... plastic. It never interested me. Even though he would do the same things as say Ali for example, I would always prefer to watch Ali. And I still stand by that.

    however, that video was fantastic. There is a hell of a lot of work put into it, and Fabio has some serious balls for some of those lines. Even just the fillers were proper hucks. There’s the obvious corporate side of things which are a little annoying but the video itself overall was great. Much more riding focused than I was expecting. Big props to him.

  5. I didn’t realise quite how much of a “paint me like one of your French girls” pose I was sitting in. Also josh hair flip in time with music. 

    The rest speaks for itself. That hook into the rolldown on that white bench thingy was tasty.

    Really enjoy watching videos you make, and The odd thing is I’m not really a fan of the ‘Pogos’ but something about your style I really enjoy! Keep it up

    Cheers dude! That means a lot! :) 

  7. as above. trials is really difficult. also, feel free to discard this as its very much personal opinion, but quantifying the riding when you're learning i think is a mistake. i dont know enough about how you ride, but when i was a beginner, it was never "2-3 times a week" "1-2 hours", it was intense frustration, not going inside until id progressed somehow, for however long, because it was fun. still is, although im still shite in comparison to some. you gotta put in the hours to progress early on, get that bike control. its not like going to the gym. it wont run like clockwork- just because youve ridden a certain amount doesnt mean youll be any better. (to an extent- more time on the bike is always a plus.) its a skill that takes a lot of effort, fails and crashing to progress.  

    sorry if that seemed rude, i didnt mean bad by it.  its good to see people getting into it regardless, keep at it! put some clips up in here so we can see and advise. :)

    Thanks guys. 

    Next week I’m filming in Kent, Essex and North London. 

    Week after Stoke, Sheffield, Middlesborough, Newcastle then back down to Nottingham, Oxford and High Wycombe. 

    I ride an Echo Pure so more natural/TSG stuff. 

    Going to checkout Peak District on my trail bike too. 

    i can put you in touch with some chaps in the oxford area if you like...

  9. I can show you around the midlands, there’s some great spots, the famous wolvo wedges, Leicester blocks, etc- there’s also an app where you can add spots to a UK map with photos/ locations etc, it’s worth looking at, I believe it’s called faction? On Facebook

    Snazzy setup (Y)  Have you tried sorting the stripped hub out with Hope?  They're usually pretty good with that kind of thing.

    It's cool that you feel you're riding better on it too.  Just goes to show that weight doesn't really matter too much (for most people at least), and that a bike that's well setup can 'ride light' even if it's actually a bit of a porker.

    i did, they said nah, ring a dealer and get a hubshell, so i rang Stan and he rang hope and they said they dont sell hubshells on their own.

    was a bit miffed obviously, but i understand why they didnt just replace it- i didnt buy it direct from them. but the whole hubshellthing was bizzare. decided to bodge an old wheel until i can afford another one :P 

    cheers dude. when we riding??

    Has anyone got any experience with the Sony A7 range? 

    Im after a new body as I’m hardly using my 7d as I’m just finding it too big and bulky for taking on walks and stuff. Planning on keeping the Canon glass and getting an adapter. 

    The A7 is appealing as the form factor seems a sensible size and weight. The specs seem a good step up from the 7d. 

    I appreciate the autofocus and shutter speeds are no way near as good with the Sony but I no longer shoot sport so this doesn’t bother me and I’m not actually planning on getting rid of the 7d body. 

    From what I’ve read the A7 can be picked up second hand for £4-500 or brand new with a kit lens for £900. 

    I don’t think I need the extra megapixels from the S and I don’t need the 4K video shooting options of the R. 

     

    Thanks

    Joe

    The early a7s are great, but the battery life really isnt from what I’ve found. Can’t say anything about the newer ones. Quality is ace though.
