  1. enjoyed that lads, must ride there again soon, that last rail gap almost ended in tears haha

    Theres actually a clip of that rail gap ending in tears, but there wasn't space in the video to humiliate myself and still have the (mostly) successful version!

  2. Surely the point is that its possible to put brakes on your bike and then not use them?

    Obviously you would take brakes on your bike to a comp, but if you're confident in not having to use them all the time.....then that's just another trick to add to the arsenal of all the techniques you might need to use. Just because you have brakes on your bike doesn't mean you have to use them all the time when its unnecessary....

    I could be entirely wrong but i see this video a bit of a statement, like manifesto was against pointless hopping....

    Also the riding in this video is absolutely amazing! Blew me away

  3. Whats in that video is pretty cool, i'm into the spins and manuals, and as someone who enjoys doing that kind of riding, you definitely get points for being able to properly manual a mod!

    However i can't help thinking that the variety in there is pretty small, and that video would have been better if it had been a minute and a half long, just with the best lines from that one in it?

    If i was going to make a video of that length i'd personally throw some different tricks in there. I'm not going to say what they should be though! Its your choice if you want to ride BMX or trials or a combination of the two! Just throw some more stuff into the mix and your videos will be amazing! :)

  4. Yeah go for it with maybe some short travel forks, it would be a good experiment! One that i've also recently undertaken with suspension on a Base TA26... seems good so far! I know its not the same but i have ridden the Giant Team trials frame for ages now (with rigid forks) and absolutely love its old school geometry for streety riding.

    If it goes horribly wrong, base frames are only 99 quid (Y)
