FUN FACT
- I remember watching the bmx vid with Alex ages ago, and the quote "I would never try this stair set again, because it's intensely large.", was the first thing I can remember to make me cry uncontrollably with laughter, for about 5 minutes. I f**king love that video.
But there's loads and loads and loads of 'bail vid' topics, have a search broseph.
Haha I had exactly the same reaction. The brief pause before he says 'because it's intensely large' makes it all the funnier. I'm laughing just recalling it!
People really need to learn the correct definition of 'to bail'. Non of these vids are bails.
Oh goody, thank you for that interesting insite.

Video edit on a whole was quality
but the overall content wasn't 
(N) deffo not worthy of the wait.I wouldn't be surprised if K124 Days returns to Buthiers in 2012.
Not worth the wait? Waiting isn't particularly expensive.
The first 3 minutes were very enjoyable!

Does anybody remember the crazy freeride video that was up about a yeah and a half to two years ago in which a guy did huge stair gaps with no helmet on. I think he had longish dark hair. I only remember one clip in which he did a stair gap and the bottom of the stairs had a piece of metal arched over which he narrowly missed going under.
Thanks for any help

I'm going to be honest, the riding was absolutely incredible but nobody expected anything less!
Personally I just didn't feel the passion of your older videos where it seemed you were taking it to the limit, perhaps the chilled out music caused this effect. The other thing was I could not handle seeing every move 3 times albeit from different angles.

How big is that sidehop at 1 minute out of interest? Thought he was going to pedal on it!

What the hell just happened?! Absolutely unbelievable.
Watching someone like Watson I can imagine doing it just obviously on a much smaller scale... but that....it's so so beyond and different to anything which people should be capable of acheiving on a bike!

Thought the riding was sweet.
Couldn't have chosen a more horrible song though

Trials is far more orientated towards precision, control and methodological movements (NOT to say bmx isn't controlled etc) and therefore seems less extreme. The risk factor in what pro bmx'ers do and what pro trials riders do is incomparable. To an audience precision and control is surely not as desirable as pure adrenaline fuelled risk taking. Perhaps I only see it from this side as a trials rider but I think it's fair to say the risks involved in trials are minimal (presumably as there is a lot of movement from static), maybe this just isn't, for want of a better word, 'sexy'.
EDIT: I have never and will never be into bmx'ing but I think it's pretty evident they are on a completely different level.

KHE Collapse is the only chain to have. KMC's are not the way forward. People talk about stiff links in KHE but it's only occasional and doesn't break your shins/face/back/body like regularly snapping KMC does.

you know what danny - its been said to TGS riders for a long time, they need to start being more inventive, more imaginitive, while still maintaining their ability to go big. It would make for some awesome riding. Your video is showing the start of you going through that process and its really good to see.
Wish i could still go as big as that!!
Riding was absolutely amazing, so smooth, so huge and sidehops looked crazy.
I don't think that could be called TGS though, maybe just GS, or potentially just S

I'll settle for that
(Although I hesitate to put so much emphasise on 'honest opinions'.)
Anyway if you are looking for a bike to start on I've got a pretty nice Toxsin up in the 'For sale' section.

Thank you, a welcome and shortly considered reply.
You've used some nice big words there. ( but may want to use a dictionary as the 'spellchecker' ain't all that.
Oops! :$ I see you've already dragged me down to your lower level of response. Clever boy.
PS. aren't you just an elaborately, eloquenty phrased p*ss taker all the same, your seem to be wearing the same dress?
What do you mean an 'eloquently phrased piss taker' I merely wear my 'heart on my sleeve', I believe everyone has the right to a view. It doesn't matter what dribble I come out with we should all look at it in a completely positive way and value the comments emormously, isn't that the way forward?! Besides I'm dissapointed you took the time to read it, to coin your phrase, just 'switch the channel' if you don't like it!
P.S also attack the arguement not the writer, it's far more effective.

Your 'style', as you refer to it, is neither informative, effective nor poignant. It merely serves in boosting your perception of how you are viewed by others. Your comment above is not so much a discussion of any real issue, but a tool for fementing belief in oneself; take the phrase 'I wear my heart on my sleeve', an addition which has very few cannotations relating to the issue itself. Moreover, you boldly exclaim that this is a forum, whereby it is a place for discussion, however disagreement is surely a vital part of any discussion? Granted it cannot be acheived through childish means, however your disability to accept any disagreement was evident from your disregard of the issues I elevated in my initial post.
Everyone likes a good talk you see!
P.S If you don't like it don't read it, however I fear it may be too late!

I suppose the point I'm trying to make is,
Isn't this a forum?
Yes it is, it's implicit in the name!
Anyhow not to be satirical or sarcastic it was a warming testament. What I guess I find most interesting is the way in which people react to it, and infact I think this spans the whole of the forum (and applies directly to answering the point of your thread). I find it interesting to see how sometime the use of sarcasm and taking the mick is wholly acceptable, whilst other times it is viewed as completely out of order (which isn't always directly as a result of the content of the thread). Anyway to pass judgement, where I shouldn't, but whilst I'm here: I found it to be pretty painful to read and meaningless. Of course at this point the consensus is it was a geuine and heart warming piece of writing and we appreciate that because we are 'safe', however just as easily the whole forum could have mocked it.
This brings me onto another point: I don't understand the awe of being a 'full member' people discuss it as if it is an honour, a true calling in life.
Just a couple of my thoughts back form when I used to use the forum reguarly, which I think apply here. (no offence intended)

Yeah, been on this forum many many times, absolute nutter though.

You need TRA, the ultimate in technique and power!

1. It was a legitimate question for someone who has stumbled across the picture and doesn't know masses about trials/the picture/the history.
2. I doubt he has access to the life history of everyone on this forum's computer.
3. It only takes one person to tell him it's a mega re-post.

Email sent
Sounds good, Thanks very much

hahaha without the moustache would be preferable
That would be absolutely brilliant Papa Manual, do you have an email adress I could send it to?
cheers, Phil

Basically I need to attach a picture to an application form online but its in some Adobe Photoshop format. Would any one who knows abut this stuff spare a minute for me to send it to them, for them to change it to some kind of normal format and then send it back please?
Help would be greatly appreciated.

be as agressive as you can so they dont come back
I think you're being sarcastic, but sadly no one really knows.

Kamel.
It must be.
If you don't believe me, look on Tarty. It's very expensive.
hahaha I think you're right, it's also very very shiney!

Whilst I'm definetly a fan of watching Macaskill do anything on a bike that was meaningless, the advice boiled down to 'do a 360'
