In the light of recent events, I thought it better to sack GETCreative off and start afresh. This is what I've been gathering with the intent of using it for that, but THIS IS NOT MY GETCreative ENTRY. I've picked up a couple more sponsors since last time - still under Tarty's wing, but now Trialtech and Jaf Bikes too! Super grateful to them. They've pieced me together what I'd consider to be my perfect bike! Happy with a lot of the lines/clips, but as a video I don't think it's as good as my past ones, so sorry about that. (I'd like to point out that the 180 off the bench at 1:50 is a front-tyre-tree-whacker. The angle/whatever doesn't really show it ) Leftovers and crashes: P.S. I know some of it's VERY BMXy, but I reckon that's the novelty of having a bike that's nice for it having yet to wear off.

5'3" on a stock? MADNESS! The Echos are very nice. There's good reason for them being so popular. Also, the Limey 4s are amazing! I've never ridden stock - I don't like them - but these are actually not that bad. Been on a few now, and they are just great going up-to-front. I'm 5'9". I know that's not nearly as short as you - but just to let you know I'm no skyscraper and they're Ok for me.

This makes me realize that what I was planning on doing was more a "creative riding" video, rather than a "creative" riding video. Back to the drawing board, I think.

Your doubt is unfounded. I totally agree. I LOVED those bars, but now they're more expensive than competitors, and not quite enough rise for my kind of bike - which is where the Trialtechs come in to their own.

Don't let anyone with a username containing 2707 anywhere near the tool box.

You'd be better off going with a higher stem or more stackers (or both) than higher rise bars with no sweep.

Sadly, it probably is! Haha. There's still this as the major problem with the idea though:

On this one, scroll over to the right... Chrome volume turned up?

Mods are best for that.

I don't know how anyone can ride with those bars. They are literally the most disgusting thing I've ever laid my hands upon. Nice to see another brakeless mod though. Get some videos out!

Monster logo ruins an otherwise nice bike.

I'm not - but all the songs I'm considering using are around 5:00 (or less), and even with a very aggressive approach to cropping clips I'm at 5:36 - which still includes the lines that aren't the least bit creative, but are pretty big (which means I'm chuffed with them, thus shall be featuring regardless ), and no allowance for dragging clips out to fit with music or atmospheric (read: non-riding) clips.

I'd still prefer to not have the extension.

For future reference, that's absolute rubbish Hahaha. You DEFINITELY can run a ProII in horizontal dropouts. If it's a question of cams - which in this case doesn't matter as you have the bolt tensioners - you just need to turn the bolts around and run them on the outside.

That bike looks PERFECT for those rocks. They're the ones just outside MK right? Very swish.

I think the "disposable" mindset is everything that's wrong with trials. As for my Tensile, one pawl snapped after about a year. I was skint at the time so just took it's partner-pawl out and ran on four. It was good for just over another two years like that. Sounds like I got lucky! Haha.

I'll ride. Not this weekend due to family stuff, and not Sheffield whichever weekend Other than that, free game. Hahaha. Edit: Thought I was a couple weeks ahead of myself - 16th-19th isn't this week anyway, is it!

You'd be crazy not to get Trialtechs.

Contrary to everyone else - I'm pretty eager to get mine over and done with, but I don't want to submit way before everyone else. It's not that I don't enjoy it - it's more that I'm already agonizing over which clips to leave out, and especially what music to use. An extra month of that would be most unpleasant

This man shall forever be my king. ...One of them, anyway.

t33zr! I thought you must've quit or died! Sorely missed your videos with outrageous music Cool video with some beasty riding. Recovery at 4:56 was just insane, and the bunnyhop a couple of clips before was MASSIVE.

It doesn't matter much, but you mean 1280x720. HD widescreen video is 1280x720 or 1920x1080. Lovely looking footage! Did you buy this lens to make a super-sweet GETCreative entry?

Come on now... There's no need for that. He's only been riding ~6 months - and he's considerably better than I was after 18! For a relatively new rider, I'd say you actually are "Killin' it" Nice one.
