    Sorry for being a bit of a killjoy,but being put into a £20 raffle isn't what i would call a reward for filling out a survey.

    I know the intention is there and that is good, but £20 ?  Is that + postage ?

    If this survey was done in a different bicycle genre (lets say bmx for example) from one of it's main governing bodies the prize would be undoubtably higher. This is not because they have more funds.it is because they see that the majority of riders are young and rely on the bank of mum and dad for parts etc . So a higher prize gives more incentive which is needed if you want good feed back .(to help you understand)

    Basically - what can they get for £20 ? 

    This is just one of many basic ideoligies that bike trials seems to 'miss the boat'.

    When Tarty did their trial day it was a success because they have got their finger on the button.

    Regards.

    As luke says,the line from 1:21 - 1:32 so stylish and smooth.

    Can not think of any brakeless trials riderthat comes close as regards to flipps techy lines and fluidity when riding them.

    For me he's the one that has made brakeless trials go in the direction it has. (I know not everybody will agree,but-heyho).

     still not a super fan of it even though your videos are still more and more impressive.Do you ever feel like you've reached the top of your progression?

    If you think his videos are more and more impressive,surely that equates to progression.

    You may not be a super fan but deep down your a fan.Flipp keeps on pushing boundries in a way that (and i think people will agree)

    that inspires and excites riders to push their own boundries.He is one of the top riders that keeps himself accessible by going on rides with everyday people.I may be wrong but i think the day he feels he has reached the top of his progression is the day he hangs up his bike.

    Really good Ben, you need someone good to film you.

    To throw a spanner in the works, I really like the simplistic style of self filming

    I agree  on both .And i aint fence  sitting. 

    Really  enjoyed  that  Ben ,  you make your  riding  look  so  effortless and  in turn  inspirational. Makes  you  want  to get  out  there.

    Sorry, lifes-a-trial, but its a dated argument. James is an exceptional trials rider if you look up his much older videos, but he has been influenced greatly by other disciplines. I know you have said you love his videos, but the second part of the statement ruins it

    i know he is a good trials rider ben.i was just giving my opinion.like he Says in his post"dependIng on what you think"
