Drop and Roll - Ali C - 5 Days in Barcelona

Recommended Posts

Lines from 2:35-2:50 and the stoppie lines near the beginning (particularly the bump-hop-stoppie-spin-nose-to-manual-360 at 0:35) were sweet. Stair ride to wallride improved my afternoon a lot too, and the ender was awesome!

Edit: Ha. Classic Ali. Was that anything to do with the hippy jump fail and subsequent palm-plastering?

Double-edit: Cool that you seemed to steer relatively clear of most of the well-known spots (or shoot them in an original way so as to make them look less familiar) and still found some really fun and cool stuff to ride. Nice job on the edit too (Y)

Thanks Karl :)

Nah - on the first day we went from our apartment down to the white wall spot in the park where he does the manual to gap to bench, then went down to the red bank stoppie spot. While we were there one of the callouses ripped off Ali's hands due to his new grips, and then it became a kind of deep-seated blister/cut kinda thing which meant Ali couldn't really pull up all that hard. Most days generally started with a load of superglue and plasters after that.

Really enjoyable edit, top work from both of you. Loadsa cool lines, last one killer, or possibly not killer, depending on how you look at it :P

I hasn't noticed it with previous videos so probably to do with the fact it was lots of lines in a short amount of time, some lines seemed opted for flow over control? Though that's probably my perception and preference so it doesn't really matter.

On Pinkbike...

Young Scotsman, Ali Clarkson finally had the chance to head out to Barcelona after a broken collarbone left him unable to ride last year. He hits up some incredible riding spots, showing off his talent and making up for lost time.

Some nice PR for Mark, who I believe may be Belarusian, too- good work chaps! http://www.pinkbike.com/news/video-ali-clarkson-in-barcelona-2015.html

Edit: Also missed the 'Street Trails' bit... Go PB!
