  2. East Kent Riders? Margate/Canterbury etc...

    Hi everybody.

    I'm toying with the idea of coming out on my bike this weekend - despite the weather.

    I haven't ridden in 18 months, but can only assume that I'm still amazing. Whereabouts in Kent do people live - Margate, Ramsgate, Maidstone/Ashford by the looks of things. Any good spots/locations worth getting in the car and driving to? Anybody out and about?

  3. Just found an old video on CD - newyearseve.mpg

    Horrendous quality video and pretty basic riding but I miss all that this video is about. I love the rock soundtrack, the old bikes - the one-hander off the 5ft drop should be applauded. There aren't enough pixels to see it, but you know they're all having fun.  I don't care that there's no Go-Pro or drone footage.

    I'd make videos like this all day long if I thought anybody other than me would watch them.

    I cant believe this is what we had to live with as far as video quality was concerned, ive got around 100 cd's full of old TF videos but no means to play a disc anymore.. 

     

     

    I remember a friend and I once made a 3-minute video with a hand-held webcam that could only record 10 seconds of footage. We'd go riding for 3 miles, record one clip, then cycle home to upload it. Those were the days.

    Not only were Leeson making 24” bikes around that same time, they had pegs on the rear wheel too! So ahead of their time it hasn’t even happened yet.

    Laughed hard at that.

    I loved how Clive was able to indulge Kris and Ed by building more or less anything they wanted.

    Perhaps if either of them had continued to ride trials seriously there’d be more examples of innovation from L3350N 81K35.

    At first I thought it had been edited with a filter, so that the background was black and white but the bike, the occasional red car and double yellow line popped out in colour. I realised at about the minute mark, that’s it was just a grey day in a grey town.

    Aside from your Street Fighter aggression and trying to slam a soft-close door (you dropped your jumper by the way) I loved it. You have a really lazy style, which is a compliment. The massive hooks and side hops looked like you couldn’t be arsed, was doing them against your will,  but smashed them anyway. All to do with the slow and casual run up instead of blasting towards things at pace.

    Nice work.

    I have entered a competition, but not within the last 5 years, therefore I'm already stumped by your first question.

     

    1. When was the last time you entered a UK bike trials competition (either national or regional)?

    In the last month
    In the last 6 months
    In the last year
    In the last 5 years
    I've never entered a competition

    One thing I've realised is age isn't a barrier

    I think circumstance plays a big part though. When you're 16 you feel like you're invincible, but if you're married with 3 kids and a mortgage, I can imagine you'd be less prepared to take a risk for fear of breaking a leg.

    it's all in the mind and riding as much as possible is important to keep progressing.

    Correct.

     

    Great video by the way. Very insightful.
