  1. Thanks- Glad it is enjoyed. I know these spots are all played out for you, but its pretty cool to see and be able to put my tires on them.

    I forgot to thank MarkW for hooking me up with the map of London spots and Mick for carting me too and from the train station on the day I visited Radical Bikes. Cheers guys.

  2. I was in London/Barcelona last year, and I got to shred a few or your/their awesome spots/trials-parks. I didn't have much time at each spot so I was much more keen on riding than filming, but I ended up filming a few things just to prove I was there.

    I'm sure these most of these lines have been claimed long ago by other (better) riders, but I'm still happy with a few of them.

  3. Hey Matt,

    Sorry for the slow reply - I'm planning to head out to Barrow Farm on Saturday if the weather is decent (which it looks like it will be). Would you be able to ride tomorrow (wednesday) evening? I will also probably sneak out for a ride on Thursday afternoon.

    Found a couple of spots I recognized down by the river on Sunday. Lots of really good stuff out there!

  4. Not sure this is the right forum... sorry if it isn't.

    I'm visiting London for a week starting Saturday 30/8. I'll be staying in the Notting Hill area, and I will have my Inspired with me.

    Any good riding spots in the area?

    Where spots are there in London that are worth travelling to?

    Anyone live/ride in the area that would want to go out for a ride?

    Also planning on heading out to check out Radical Bikes on 6/9, weather permitting. Anyone else planning on riding then?

    Cheers,

    Jonathan

  5. Cheers for the comments, and thanks for the post, Ross.

    Yes! Everytime i watch a aussie vid makes me want to live there!

    Come on over! There are almost as many foreigners (myself included) as Australians riding here these days.

  6. I did a bit of filming at a couple of recent comps down here in Australia. Not ideal filming conditions as I was competing as well, but I think it showcases the high level of the competition riding down here. Let me know what you think!

  7. Thanks for the comments!

    Link didn't work for me?

    *just tried the teaser links and no joy either... may be because I'm using a phone?

    Seems that the mobile site doesn't have the video yet. The teaser can be viewed on phones here. I'll put a post up the mobile link once they get it sorted out.

    That was awesome!!!! If someone could tell me the name of that second song would be brill. Shazam can't find it :(

    Second song is "Dropping out of School" by Brad Sucks

  8. Figured I may as well give it its own thread. Have a look and let us know what you think!

    Riding by Andrew Dickey, Nathan Mummery, Lewis Greenhalgh, Dave Herr, Joe Brewer, Paul Gerloff and Jonathan Tollerud.

  9. a deserved winner from the competition, and you topped that video with this one in my opinion.

    only thing letting you down was the mech on the bike...jeeez you'd have been so bloody smooth without that.

    Thanks Ben, I hear you (and it) on the mech. I don't really notice it while I'm riding, and forgot about it until I started editing. For the video decided It was worth the pain of the mech-slap to hear the rest of the bike sounds.

    that was totally awesome!

    i noticed the guy!(was it yourself?)

    how did you paste him/you in a vid without being transparent?want to do it so much in my vid...always ends up with one transparent and one opaque layer...

    cheers

    haha, nah, it was a clip that the show Arrested Development (which is a great show by the way) put up to promote their new season, which I put in as a joke. More here, though you probably won't 'get it' if you haven't watched the rest of the show. I didn't have to do much but chrome-key the background out and adjust the brightness slightly.

    Nice edit dude. Diggin your style.

    Do you prefer the Element to the Ashton? How do they compare?

    Thanks Ross,

    I like the element (slightly) better for pretty much everything. Its streetier and spinnier for sure, but surprisingly taps and pedal ups better as well. The element is also noticeably stiffer torsionally, which is really noticable on pedal ups and pedal gaps. The only trials move I don't like it for is sidehops, but I hate doing that move with anything other than a true competition bike nowadays anyway. It was nice in the skatepark, but that suffered a bit when I put the long trialtech stem on to push it more towards the trials side.

  10. Over the last few months I've been riding my 26" Element that Inspired generously donated as a prize for the GETcreative competition last year. I finally collected enough clips to put together into a little video.
    Even though it is on a street trials bike I think this video still ended up being more trials than street, though hopefully with some flow. I'm pretty happy with it, hope you enjoy it as well:

  11. I was able to borrow a car for a few weeks and got the chance to go see a few of the nicer spots in country Victoria (and one in Melbourne). I took the camera along to document.

  12. One pogo stick "slate". One semi-oldschool street trials bike "justice".

    This is my first video since moving to AUS. I have fought with illness and injury (2:39) over the last couple of months so I am far from full strength but still loving the ride.

  13. really really enjoyed that one Mr! <3 silent brake

    Cheers.

    The brake was working so well then. Now it is both noisy and doesn't work as well. Gotta figure out what I changed...

  14. This is my last video filmed in the US for a while. Some of the lines are things that I just barely got, others are things I would do on a typical ride, but wanted to document on video before I left.

    Thanks to Midwestbiketrials.com for hooking me up with a few things last minute before I left the states for Australia last month.

    Edit: well worth clicking through to Vimeo and watching in higher quality.

  15. Really liked it JEFF.

    Creative lines, chill video and new camera is working wonders. Guess I'll have to stop making excuses and go out and ride in the falling snow tomorrow.

  16. I usually don't post videos here, but since OTN is down for who knows how long I though I'd put this up. Took a trip down to St. George in southern Utah for some desert riding and warmer weather. Video has a lot of scenery shots.

    The rest of my Utah videos are there as well if anyone wants to take a gander. Cheers!

    Good riding, Ross. Lack of snow and riding in shorts makes me quite jealous.
