Ive watched this a few times now. I love it.

APC only charge about £30 for a bike. Tell him to check if there's one locally to him.

It is a pretty cool vid.

bar spins are 1 move. Trials is a style.

If you could post a video it might make it easier to diagnose.

Thats kinda what I was getting at but failed.

Yeah absolutely. I know it was a show so you have to do things a certain way.

I think you're a good rider but I don't feel like this showed it. It's different riding for the general public I get that.l hate to be a hater but I'd like to see a video for the riders next time. I'm sure that with your riding and editing skills you could make a pretty good video.

I know I'm going ot here but that video wasn't bad as such, just not a lot of peoples cup of tea. Pretty much every other video you've made has been well received. I know a few negative comments won't deter you from making videos so this comment is pretty pointless but I thought I'd say it anyway.

Double walls are stronger but its down to the rider. I'd say double walls if you're thinking about longevity and single if you're more bothered about weight.

Its also the type of statement I'd make when I'm being shot down for speaking the truth.

He is both insulting and patronising. And if he's so good at running comps why are entry numbers dropping? Fair enough I've never organised a comp but does that mean I'm not allowed an opinion?

Why are you trying to be insulting and patronising? There are are lots of people that have tried to be constructive. It seems to me that you're bitter because not everyone agrees with you that things should stay as they are. I hope that wasn't too short for you, I just don't see the point in over wording my posts and droning on in an attempt to come across as being superior.

I proclaimed myself king of tbe north but my claim wasn't upheld as I'm not the rightful heir. Gutted.

Cos we all love Dann the king honey badger.

Spending a day with my daughter then trials riding and urbexing with one of my nest mates. Very happy.

VIOLIN WAX. All day long. You can get it off ebay or your local music shop for a few quid and its better than tar. I urge everyone that like a brutal brake to try it. It is the future. Its not as nasty as tar.

I'd call it park riding. And I do like it. A lot of what I've said doesn't really matter. I like the editing and the riding. This guy is clearly good.

If you want to talk about 2008 then look at some the videos that were out then. The street scene seems to have gone backwards in my book. If this becomes street trials then the sport will die out because people will surely think "why spend all that money on an Inspired when I can get a bmx miles cheaper and do more stuff?" Moving a sport forward involves doing something different not just copying something else.

So re branding something substandard as something else all of a sudden makes it good? My original point was that I could go down the local skate park and see a bunch of young kids on bmx s do the same and more. All of a sudden because he's on a street bike its automatically street trials and nobody is allowed to say any different. Street trials can be really original and creative and versatile but from a lot of the videos that have been coming out lately it seems that a lot a lot of people are forgetting that.

So if I went for a ten mile road ride on my trials bike would it still be classed as trials? If I rode trials on a dh rig would it still be dh? I explained my opinion properly in my first post but if you're too stupid to understand then there's no point in continuing to try and explain.

It's constructive way to spend your time and you get paid. That's win win. I've had a couple of friends in the TA and they've really enjoyed it.

Street trials at its finest.

He's good but come on. If thats what street trials is then every bmx rider I've seen can call themselves a trials rider. To me the likes of Flipp and Ali C are the epitome of street trials and this guy is nothing like them. I'm not saying he needs to be ad good as them but at least mix it up. I could go on the Little Wheels thread to see all of this and more.

I think mini comps in different areas that don't normally have them might encourage more people to get involved with a club. More public demos would definitely help as well as it'd make more people aware of the sport. Most people I know don't even know what trials is.
