f**k celebrity deaths, 2016 will be remembered for amazing James Barton videos.

Today I completed a life long dream of mine and rode Shipley on a street bike (rode a load of comps there and had group rides but always on long-ish bikes. Ever since reading MBUK and seeing Edd Tongue riding his 24" Ashton with Akrigg on the Justice, I've always wanted to give it a go. So since I was down that way visiting family I thought I better get on with some filming there. With go pro battery life and a swankle (swollen ankle), I captured what I could.

Enjoyed Sully. The Hudson River plane crash.

I remember trying my first high bb.

Class room scene reminded me of this.

Tryna keep it so old school TGS you still do the booyakasha finger slap. Committed.

How did you get there? A kayak?

Even with a 116mm rear end? Wouldn't that make the chain line poo? I don't know much about MODs...

Silver cranks and bars combo. Yoos.

Double post.

Quite a cool effect but think using it on pretty much every clip was a bit OTT.

Black Mass was good.

Well? Did you? Instagram, for me, has been great since they upped the video length time to 1 minute. Short snappy 1 minute edits are more what I'm about these days, for a few different reasons. Plus, any trials videos I make end up on here. Full echo video wont be happening im afraid.

Sounds like you've got your priorities in check

Doesn't look too beefy to me?! Why the tensioner?

There's going to be a wee (down stairs) mix up for 2017 so the echo is taking a back seat for now.

Unedited clips

That's why id rather not "follow" "athletes" or "fan pages". Its killing TF. Its all about the ########### now though. Gotta get with the times or get left behind. f**king buh.

Preferred the look of the silver ones as they matched the stem well. Bet these are stiff though.

Momma got some Trial Tech forks to buy. I've been polishing my coal in preparation.

Like.

Really liked this edit. Loved how quickly you built up speed into some things there. Such a good style on the bike too. When you strip back all the bar spins and stuff, your pure natural trials riding shines through. 5 gold stars.
