AWESOME. Been thinking about buying this on DVD. Just love the bits with Ashton & Hawyes - you can just tell that the riding vibe is all about them pissing about trying new stuff. Such a feel good vid! I wanna go and ride now!
-
Just a quick one - but seeing as I've not posed a vid in about 5 years I got a little over excited.
Bunnyhop to flatbank - I'm not sure on height, felt fairly big!

I'm assuming this guy probably just broke his chain but wanted to carry on riding - but seeing how brakeless bmx transitioned to trials wonder if anyone is brave enough to try chainless trials... hmm not sure how that would work...

Coming up 27, been riding trials for 12 years (not that it makes me particularly good!)
Shropshire based.

hey guys anyone riding in the west midlands area? im back on wheels after 8 years and need to get the buzz back..
Where abouts in the West Mids are you? I'm near Shrewsbury and also a bit of an oldie - need to get back into the swing of things! Drop me a PM.

Red, Black and White = winner!
ha ha! yeah seems to have been a bit of a common theme with my bikes!

May as well join the party! Ok so this is the full history, rather than just old pics but thought it might be interesting to look at.
Giant from around 1999
Which then got custom sprayed 'cause I loved Martin Hawyes' one
Which then got changed for an Echo Urban (which is still my favourite bike to this date
Then got more into natural so ditched in favor of this BT 4 (avec custom graphics no less)
Then got bored of natural so went back to a streety frame with this Ashton
Then changed my mind AGAIN and went back to long and low with this Czar
Got a little lighter with this Echo SL
Then Flipped back to street and got myself a 24 (not that I'm indecisive or anything)
It's a testament to Chris King Hubs that I'm still running the same rear as I was on my Giant 10 years ago!
Apologies for the picture heavy thread... just enjoying reminiscing!

"I am not that grumpy!" Bonus points for who know who said that.
Ashton? In Chainspotting?
..."don't mind me..." Hawyes with a broom. Need to go watch that again...
-
Bummer, would be well up for this but I'm at work. Don't spose you'd rather do Sunday instead?
-
My first vid is so old its from the last century.
Mix of trials / trails shot in 1999 / 2000 on a shitty old camera with a fisheye lens duck taped on. Those were the days.

I can do Shrewsbury or Telford most nights. More like 6:30 / 7:00 due to work though.

What is 'I work here'?
The website is very vague as what it is the company actually does.
It would appear they have big clients, which suggests they/you are good at what you do...but what is it?
I'm an Industrial Designer, I do a lot of freelance design and entrepreneurial design. - Furniture, lighting, landscape, products etc.
My main client its OSET bikes, I do 80% 0f my work for them designing new motorbikes and bicycle ranges and improving existing. (As well as soft goods and graphic design)
I work here
Hey dude, thanks for for taking a look. The site is being updated at the moment and this is something we are addressing. Its a bit of an odd one because most of the traffic that comes to the site comes from either repeat business, or other people who already know what we do.
But yeah, its a good point. If you click on our logo within the 'work' or 'people' section it gives an overview of what we do. Needs to be made more prominent I think though.
Just to clarify, I work as a Graphic Designer there.
Cheers

Respect to Damon, that last backwheel to the rail looked so effortless I had to watch it a few times.
-
LOVE that tune. Awesome lil vid.
-
Richard, I stand corrected!
Yeah new vid is going to be a bit different as I'm riding 24 these days... really enjoying the change though. I'll keep you posted.
Rob

Really enjoyed that
Cheers!

Yeah was good, no doubt this is gonna spark some trouble, but you sound like a dick calling yourself a pro.
uh oh. I would assume its cause he spends most of his time doing / gets paid for it etc - but yeah spose its quite hard to qualify what makes someone 'pro' or not. Didn't think he really sounded like a dick saying it though - tad harsh.
-
Really cool dude! You come across very well on camera, love the way you talk about it in a way thats actually interesting to listen to. Looking forward to the next one! Secret quarry eh? I've ridden there... shhhh
-
My favourite move by MILES was that 180 hop onto the post - very cool indeed. More of that please!
The rest was massive, but impressive as it was - it was a little samey.
Cool vid nonetheless. Good to see you are riding again!

Some disgustingly smooth riding going on here!
Camerawork is fantastic!
Stan - loving the colour coordination.

Great video
Really enjoyed that man But...could you please tell me where those spots were?! I've never been to any of them!
Ok, no problem! Most of them are in and around Falmouth where we both studied.
Main spots are...
- Falmouth Gyllingvase Beachfront (with the graffiti)
- Cant remember the name of the quarry (Bigman? any ideas?)
- Falmouth headland (in front of the castle)
- Spot in the second section is mainly Cligger (over looking Perrenporth by the gliding station)
- Bigman's Farm!
I'll add more as I remember them!
edit: oh, some of the photos from the end are from Watergate Bay, just outside Newquay - amazing riding spot.

good video enjoyed that
2:35 is that the hoe at Plymouth? is that still there? cheers
Nah looks a bit like Plymouth Hoe, but its actually Falmouth. Glad you enjoyed it!

Attempting to put together a new video soon but came across this vid we made at uni in 2005. Was shot on a pretty old skool camera but turned out ok.
Nothing huge, just a nice chilled out video from Cornwall. We have loads of footage on tape somewhere (*ahem Dan) of the following summer, might see if we can edit that into something.

The balance this guy has got just makes it look so effortless. Awesome little vid. Already watched a couple of times.
Particularly smooth at 00:40 and 03:16 (ha Stone Cold)

Also, it's depressing that Ashton is only 22 in this!
