Haha, It is really not my priority man honestly. If I get time and I if want to, I will, but why not...
-
I don't pay my coach, he wanted to coach me. He is in the association I am in. I should probably do some video, I sometimes post clip on facebook, but I didn't in a long time. I honestly don't ride to get any sign of gratitude, only because I don't know what I would do if I didn't... I'll try to make one if you want one so much. I don't think my coach will want to film me though so I'll have to try something.

This was awesome. Loved the end! Hahaha. May I ask what is the name of the music though?

Hehe Thanks mate. It's pretty difficult to ride by 40°C at 11 am but I have a 4 hour training tonight and it will be the 10th time I ride it. I like it really much now. I just skipped back to trialtech foam grips because the chorillas ones hurt so much. These tires are awesome. The bike itself is very stable on obstacles on both wheels and even more on the rear wheel. I am now going on obstacles I have been working on for a long time easier than I have ever been. The shorter wheelbase really helps on taps as it is easier to keep rear wheel position when you tap 1m20 or more. Right now I have been training on a lot of street obstacles to get my techniques dialled but I will ride natty this evening so we'll see how it goes. Right now I have to wash it and do some maintenance. I also have a demo on three days soon so that should really get me used to the bike.

I meant aluminium. Sorry I am french...

So this is it. Very nice bike Scott! I am very happy for you man!

I do? I only talk about what or who I know. Hopefully, otherwise I would have probably managed one of my two suicide attempts. I don't change every months. Every 6 months and I had the mist for a year. And almost every frame I have gad needed changing. Limey 3: crack near the internal brake hose hole Control 09: multiple cracks near the BB yoke and dropouts Bionic B5R proto: broke on the downtube Neon Bow: Nothing to say Marino: If I had a mod stem at the time I wouldn't have changed it Mist: The BB threads were dead. As I said I had the opportunity to change frames often too. So, it helps me keeping motivation and I change frames. Why do you want to make such a world of it? No one cares!
-
You don't know how lucky you are. Please don't pitty me.
-
Is it possible to have a video of that Honk please?
-
I have already explained myself. I have had the opportunity of testing loads of frames and different geos, and I don't care if some people here are jealous or anything. This helps me being motivated to ride my bike as it's all I have left.
-
Of what I said or what he said?
-
This is unreal, are you actually talking to Damon Watson like that? Hahaha
-
I wouldn't recommend the LGM as they tend to slip when you miss a move and that you are on the edge of what you want to go up on. The Belaeys work a treat but eat the grind really fast. I would highly recommend Coust pads in Heatsink backings, COust pads or Rockman blues. Nothing else!
-
That's true. They are made by the same man but are not all the same. I know how a pad is made and what goes into its composition. I have even been trying some I made a while ago. They weren't good but I know how Thierry works and he keeps the same basic recipe which makes all the pads he produces more or less similar. I thought they were protos as well as the black ones Thierry once made in sky blue backings. Sorry about that. I didn't know he finally released them. They were out as protos when Koxx Grey Sky came out. Sorry. I know coulours doesn't all the time affect performance. But as I said above, I know how Thierry works and all his pads work well but have the same disadvantages.
-
Let's hope this will serve as an example for those who steal bikes
-
Stop asking man! Damon has a life and you should probably try to get one! Some people have something else than trials or watching trials videos in their life. Leave him alone!
-
This! I did the same (oh Ali told me so...)

Two months ago I tried a sidhop on a skinny. It was something like 1 meter 10 cm and I had done it rear wheel first so it gave me confidence. The departure was from a small step 20 cm high and 30 cm wide. I did it but wasn't confortably on it so I decided to jump down. My rear wheel slipped from the little step when I got down and my foot slipped. The pedal went through my bent leg and as a result I have had a partial rupture of the tendon. Doctors said I shouldn't go to work or ride within 2 months but 2 weeks afterwards I was back on the bike. That's how much I have only trials left in life. It was very difficult to bend my leg to preload for the first two weeks but now it's better. But 2 years ago I have had partial amniesia. Don't ask me how or why I don't remember. I only remember waking up, having peed in my pants and feeling as lost as I have never felt in my life before. I called the police because I didn't remember where I parked my car, where I lived or anything. THAT was scary! I know how it feels to be really lost!
-
We have just been talking for quite a long time and he is thinking of making alloy frames next year. You shall see but I will discuss with him about it! Loads of investments to be made in orde to make this move! The mod stem is awesome for static moves and it also makes you position better on the bike. It makes your bike feel like a giant mod basically! I love it!
-
What are the handlebars on the Echo?
-
It is the same except it is a bit more nervous because of the higher bb. I don't why but it feels much easier to tap with the Marino than with my coach's sky 2... This bike is quite nice. But once again I have only been riding it once! Thanks man

Come in France!
