  1. In all fairness

    With a style like that, it's not easy to stay healthy

     

    Love your style Leon, would love to see more people with similar approch of riding

     

    stupid speed in those flips though

    how did you not loose brain cells? :)

  2. I agree it's a bit of a let down

    but

    it's still an amazing thing he did here

    The rest of the vid was intersting

    some part I loved some part I was a bit meh

    can't stop thinking akrigg while watching

    and unfortunately, chris is as good at this as kenny is at uci comp riding

  3. That riding couldn't have been any smoother or more accurate.

    This

    and such style too

    someone needs to clone this guy and make an army to invade the universe

    Let's flood the world with awesomeness

  4. We delibirated waited and developped her balance/composure/endurace and especially technique first. Now that she has turned 18 we are going to work on her strength. The goal is not to change her style completely, she will also have the more smooth/technical style. but with the training we plan for this winter we hope she will improve a lot next season

    That's the clever way to do it :)

    plus Kenny B and Gilles Coust were never the biggest most explosive guys around, but yet they very often dominated comps

  5. And pass them easily; not my point though. The best man will always reach more than the best women. That's just genetics and has nothing to do with machismo.

    I agree but the fact you missed the point made by Ben made me comment

    Female athletes can be as impressive as men no question

    but of course, there's a reason why they compete in separate divisions ;)

    maybe my first comment started all this so I m sorry

    What I meant by "She'll probably never side hop or gap silly distances but she's got serious skills"

    was that, with her visible physical attribute, she ll likely never going to ride in a strong/powerfull style that I usually enjoy in trials riding,

    however I still enjoys very much the way she rides her bike because of her other skills (balance, composure, endurance, etc)

    I hope this videos gets more comment on her actual riding and less about her clothes choice/ men vs women athletics

    She deserves it ;)

  6. Totally agree. I can 'do' a few, but they're all reliant on that first pull from the lats, and I don't think that really counts. I can't do them as I want to, which is fairly slowly.

    You could have the same conversation about any other compound exercise, deadlifts being a fairly obvious one.

    depends what you're after really

    slow muscle will obviously make you super strong and efficient a these type of slow mouvement

    it will also probably makes your muscle bigger

    but if you do muscle up fast with help of legs/hips/lats momentum, then you ll work more on your speed/explosivity/mobility

    slow muscle looks suuuper hard

    but IMO they also look kind of stupid in comparasion of an awesome gymnastic kip(in terms of pure efficienty)

    I know the goal is not the same though :)

  7. And as for the ignorant comments regarding the assumed limits of female physicality

    Judging from this video she doesn't seem to have crazy strenght/bouncyness(which isn't a bad thing as she has other great skills)

    but yeah some other female (such as Janine from Australia) can be really strong/powerfull

    with more female involve in the sport we could for sure have the pleasure to discover some crazy female athletes :)
