Yeah that's true. I was going to coment how much I enjoyed that video! Short and dead sweet Again I guess you're right. Though I wasn't specifically relating to dropouts and pedals, more to moves like it. My post was mostly relating to my own mindset. But the fact remains there are more physical variations on street if you do "street" i.e like me. I could find some walls a foot high and play for hours on them and have fun..I dare say UCI people couldnt. Leading me to my next point... YES it does depend what's there (again you're correct) Because if we came to walls over like 40" i'd be screwed for backwheeling haha. I guess to sum up my post : The majority older videos when I was around had more variation and original moves (be it because they simply were old and trials was comparitively new so you hadn't seen as much) Newer ones do not show such a broad range of tricks. Is it so that old skool riders of their time and the videos (think of TKs, chainspotting, revolution etc etc) had more variation of moves because there was less emphasis on amplitude of tricks and people didn't spend every hour of the day honing them? I believe so.

Uploaded a couple of proper oldies haha (not seen ever) - 2002_googoodolls - 2003_samiam oh yeh i realised I missed the Fat Jabba video out because IVE lost it. Anyone have it to send me? Or upload so I can download and then reupload it. Cheers

3 More vids now on - The all important, ever popular crash video - Years ago - A bristol street short which no one will have seen

I've uploaded / uploading even more of my past videos if anyone's interested. Maybe people should do the same for other old school videos!! http://tv.isg.si/site/?q=filebrowser/theboon

I didn't say anything about inchs Mark ARGH It's hard to explain but i'll try (I'm not dissing anyone here before everyone jumps on the hate me bandwagon) Maybe it's just because i'm and old boy like you say, the nostalgia. I'm also talking for UCI street not natural..that's totally different I think simply, a wall is a wall be it 3" high or 300" high. On big rides 20 riders on silver bikes come up to said wall and try and tap/sidehop as high as they can, then move a little bit higher. Or they film it. It IS all the same moves...and not just those. To ME that isn't interesting or exciting. But then I'm a funny fanny I suppose i'm on about creativity and amplitude. Your example was true..it was amplitude. But I didn't spend a whole ride (exaggeration) trying to nail it, or an identical bank to wall just like it in a different place. When I go out with Mike, creativity or flow or linking things up is what's fun to us, so we do it. Surely one can see there are a lot more possibilities when you add spins, pedals, dropouts, fakies, nosepicks, silly things etc etc. That's why it gets less boring (for me) You might say everything is the same just on different stuff with the above things added, but I'd say every spot I visit has a lot more possibilities than someone going for taps and sidehops. My point about the TKs was that yes they had the amplitude of taps etc but their videos didn't show JUST this and thus were so bloody amazing. Cos you're like "coor who'd have thought you can do that eh? not seen that before. as if!!" Not just "shit that's a bigger gap than the last video" New and exciting lines were coming out every week from these guys. Perhaps cos trials is older now you've seen most things? What more can be done? What new moves HAVE you seen in a video in the last 6 months which aren't just bigger varients of a video before? I haven't seen much from the UCI boys (again, no offence) Yet I still marvel at their riding because it's f**king amazing, just I can't comprehend why you'd find it exciting It wasn't like that back then... (Of course, I generalised a lot in my post. I apologise) Phew. Who'd have thought i'd been writing a formal report all night

I hear you Riding's all gone a bit stale these days. When the TKs were around they were tapping, sidehopping and gap dropping far higher and further than anyone else of the day. Yet they were doing so much other cool stuff aswell which they put out, and people tried to copy. Where's all that coming from now?

doesn't half of TF have 95% the same bike?

Aye just got a pair of these on. Well light and roll real good Haven't given them a proper hammering cos it was raining How are they for punctures? Seem a good choice though..for street of course.

Is it not just because sugar puffs smell heavily of starch (they have lots in them)..and so does piss? Walk past a brewery and it smells like sugar puffs, and piss.
