    The other side is that Danny has the "epic" video thing to a point and no matter how hard all his fans try, they'll always be second to him at that video style. These Vlogs are a way for me to be different in a crowd of people all trying to do the same thing, I don't want to be a Danny copy, I want to be known as myself.

    to be fair

    you might be a better rider than him at this point

    I know it's a subjective(stupid?) opinion

    but as a whole skillset, you're just insanely great and above anyone else

    props for being yourself though, that makes your vids even better

    I know you find it difficult to believe, but I don't think anyone can argue with the fact that you're one of the most talented, skilled and creative people to have taken part in any two wheeled sport, ever. 

    Loved this, as always.

    Seem to have hit a bit of a nerve. Wasn't a dig at anyone just expressing an observation... 

     

    I still stick with my view that it has taken over, I'm lucky enough to live in a part of the country where it hasn't died out quite as much as everywhere else. The fact that some are willing to drive hours from a parts of the country that used to be full of riders just to ride with someone else says it all really. I agree with starting on a heavy bike comment, but i've always thought kids should start on mods (T-pro being the daddy of them all) but now Onza has gone and everything on the pure trials side of things is completely comp orientated theres nothing along those lines anymore either.

     

    Another interesting observation

    TGS isn't pure trials

    pure trials is climbing on obstacles without putting ur foot down

    TGS is 3 moves (more or less) put on steroids and black & white slowmotion

     

    I miss good TGS riders as I did love their vids but man, saying TGS is trials is the same to me as saying spinning stuff is trials

     

    ok now I shut my mouth...

    Looking through this thread really does show how much Inspired and street riding has taken over trials.

     

    Shame really as TGS got me into all this and now theres just tiny fragments left of it. It also confuses me as to why people are wanted to start off on Inspired's as 90% of the best street riders gained there experience from riding pure trials and wouldn't be as good as they are without that. To me it seems kids are getting on big heavy street bikes only limiting there initial progression due to the weight and difficulty it takes to learn on such bikes and just throwing in the towel because it seems too hard for them. The number of Elements for sale all over the place says it all really. Real shame, trials really kept me out of trouble when i was growing up and its sad to see it dwindle away into pretty much only street trial in this country. 

     

    Not intended as a bitch about street riders as i just as much enjoy watching that side of it all, just wish the rest of the trials community hadn't suffered for it.

    I get what u say

     

    but

     

    back in the days people were riding short heavy bikes and they were waaay better at pure trials(except for power) than most tgs riders

    the problem IMO is people try to do spinning stuff before having good basics

    Fantastic rider on the silver 26" Echo, sort of oldschool compy style?

    Do you know the guy? I truly love this kind of style but in some moments it almost seems a little forced

    Is he alway riding like that? Or was he just messing around?

     

    Anyway, super good rider, and the other dudes were killing it aswell
