Duncan

Yo guys, I recently took delivery of the new 2017 FourPlay and managed to shoot this wee bike check including a few bonus clips at the end. Hope y'all like it. Thanks as always to Inspired Bicycles for making the best bikes and having me on the team! :-)

Haha I was expecting an onslaught on here about that. Really wished I re did that but it was the last day and I was burst.

Made a trip out to Malaga back in December for some winter sun. Managed to get this clip shot. Full film and edit by Dave Mackison.

Hey guys check out the new clip we have all been working on. Its more of a lifestyle clip rather than an all out riding clip but hope you all like it.

Here is a new 100% GoPro clip we filmed whilst out in Germany for shows at Eurobike. We stopped by Rotterdam for a day on the way home to ride some street. Here it is:

Something else for the rumour mill. I have heard Ben Travis is starting a new bike company called "Five"

I just got up to Inverness this morning for a few days. Away back down on thursday night. Got my bike with me so ging to be heading out for some street if anyone is about. Duncan

Sounds like a good day. Looking forward to it. Going to try and ride the comp as well as doing shows. Might not work though!

If only I was a pleasant person! Dammit!

They work really well in the dry. Terrible in the wet. So much smoother than a ground rim though!

The tyres seem pretty good in the wet. I was used to a big betty and a kenda small block so the difference in grip in all conditions on all surfaces is massive! TNN LGMs on a smooth rim! I am not sure if they will be available on 26. Should find out soon! The tyres are stil being tested with different compounds and casings so I would imagine it will be at least a couple of months if not longer. I know but I cant help it. T shirts are the same size as always just the guns getting bigger!

I actually got this bike a couple of months ago but just getting round to getting some pics up now. Hope you like them. Any comments welcome! Spec is as follows: Frame: 2011 Echo Trial 24 Forks: Trialtech Front Brake: Shimano Saint 180mm Rotor Rear Brake: 2011 Magura HS33 with TNN LGM pads Handlebars: Trialtech High Rise Bars Stem: Trialtech mod stem Headset: Echo SL Cranks: Trialtech (170mm) Bashguard: Trialtech alloy half ring Pedals: Trialtech Magnesium Chain: Trialtech Rims: Echo TR Hubs: Echo TR Tyres: Continental Big Thanks to Highland Bikes for hooking me up! Also a big shout out and thanks to Trialtech for all their help and support!

My friends beloved Pashley 26MHz which he has had for 10 years has been stolen in Edinburgh. It actually happened a couple of months ago but I thought I would put a post up here on the off chance anyone in Scotland or beyond may have seen anything. Rough spec was as follows: Cream Pashley 26MHz frame and forks. Azonic double wall bars Mavic 521 Rear wheel with hope bulb Mavic x517 with hope mono hub Blue Magura HS33s DMR Chain tensioner Deore LX Cranks If anyone has any info please let me know.

Really not sure what the top comp riders get but I would imagine they will have to do shows/work to add to what they make from riding comps. Almost all paid riders rely on doing shows with the exception of only a few. So if they dont ride they dont get paid. It will vary a fair bit but I personally am on a pay per hop basis so as long as I do a load of back hops each show it works out not bad. With regards to Danny I am not sure exactly how much he gets but it cant be that much as he struggles to pay me his rent every month.

Our lawyers will be in touch!

Nice torso ALI C!

Thanks for all the positive feedback guys! Hopefully have something bigger and better out soon!

Looks nice, I want one! . So what are the differences from the 2011 one?

Hey! Here is a street edit from me (Duncan Shaw)” filmed by “Danny Macaskill” in Newport and Huntington Beach, South California over a couple of days when we were over there on a trip back in February. The video was edited by my flatmate Paul Macdonald. Check it out! I think ben travis has done a wee snippet on his blog about the edit. Might be a wee interview in there if you are interested. Have a look! http://mis-conceptions.blogspot.co.uk/

Sweet video. Really liked the riding. Wish i could ride like him. Wasn't so sure about the foot jam whip and the credits clip personally.

That was sweet ben! Best video I have seen in a while.

Any chance of a vimeo link man? Link doesnt work in The US.

Good first effort! I have yet to try it out but have read up about it quite a lot recently. For decent results I think you need to be shooting in at least 50 fps so it gives the programme a bit more to work with. You may need to drop the resolution to get the extra fps depending on the camera. Also from looking at examples of when it is used it seems for best results you need a fairly uniform uncluttered background to eliminate the warping you are getting!

I am going to be in edinburgh on the 28th so could be keen for this? Are you talking about your indoor place?
