Got VOD today RIP Beau.

Made me cry too Its on Pinkbike: http://www.pinkbike.com/video/27004/ People are voting it as 'VOD' and someone asked me if it would be a good thing to have up as a VOD, of course I said yes. I think Beau would be happy and proud to see his amazing trials skills, his wonderful achievements and his fearless outrageous riding. I think that it would be good to see him as a VOD. So if anyone here has a pinkbike account please feel free to leave a comment saying 'VOD' to help me out! For those of you who don't know what a VOD is; it means video of the day. Many thanks, Joe

Put it under west-midlands as there is no Stourbridge on pinkbike. Here is the video just incase people want it on their pinkbike favourites etc. All the best, Joey

Guys does anyone know the town or country where Beau was from? I want to put up his video onto pinkbike under the right section...

RIP man. From one rider to another. Serious amount of respect to this guy, hand on heart; an inspirational streety trials rider. RIP Beau, for you are a hero.

Thanks, I can hop a BMX okay, so I think that I should just go straight onto a trials bike, you can always get better anyway! I'm not going to attempt it on my MTB mainly because its a 19" frame XC frame running clipless pedals and lightweight wheels. Do I need a front disc and rear hydro rim or is dual hydro rim good enough?

Yeah but I also ride a 26" MTB half the time aswell. I was wondering; if I should be able to do some trials on BMX first, or is it just too hard?

Hello, just registered, I ride alot of BMX, mainly street and a bit of dirt, but mainly I ride XC on my specialized. Basically I am pretty crap at dirt jumping and street, but I'd love to ride trials. Would I be best to try some on the BMX? and learn my hops very well, or is it very different when it comes to trials bikes? I really have no idea, but I am very inspired by Shawn denny and the likes! I was looking at the Onza Zoot, but really I have no idea about the world of trials, except I want hydraulics, as a hard day of riding cables KILLS the hands. Oh and do I want SS or geared? Is trials for me? Is it easy to pick up on a MTB trials bike? Or am I just an idiot thinking I would be able to ride trials?
