I know that part of this has a soundtrack to it, but a lot of it doesn't. Actually quite nice to watch a video which is purely about the riding quality, and that doesn't need to be pumped up by a soundtrack and isn't some kind of music video with bikes in it or a cinematic experiment. Benito up to front at 8.10 is ridiculous. Good stuff

Age is a number. Look at Steve Peat...DH World Champ in 2009 age 35, still getting podiums in 2011. Benito will continue to be world class as long as he stays fit and motivated enough to keep practising/competing to keep up with the new guys coming through

Riding was excellent. Moves are big and impressive. As good as any video out there

I had to watch 2.35-2.40 a few times...it's a quad-whip Style reminds me of Mark Webb: physical on the bike and muscles it into doing what he wants My link

Awesome sections and awesome riding. The level is so high these days it's fantastic. And, there was dramatically less compression legware on show than normal for a video featuring the world cup circuit. This is a good thing. A very good thing. The guys look dressed for a bike competition, rather than a 1980s aerobics session. Unfortunately the message still hasn't got through to Giaco. His riding is amazing, but the spectator experience is tainted as the lycra just makes you feel a little bit sick

Steve, Appreciate you thought you had good intentions by sharing the video of your son, but you have come across to the forum as nothing less than a lunatic. I understand every father wants the best for his son, but the course of action will be for him to decide when he is much older. Not yours to decide now. What you must do is help him "grow" and develop his intellect, so that when he is a young man he can make the best possible decisions for himself. Rather than pressing your 4 year old son into sport, get him to school and get him educated. Save money so he can go to "college" when he is 18. (Just whatever it takes to make sure he has better spelling and grasp of the written English language than his father.) Fine education, exposure to a vast spectrum of ideas and knowledge of the wider world around him will help him choose his path wisely. Introduce him to sports and exercise as part of having fun, maintaining a healthy lifestyle and how to create bonds with other people. If he's interested in riding bikes, fantastic. Facilitate that as best as you can without bankrupting yourself, but keep it fun and only if he wants to do it, he shouldn't be told to. With a strong, educated mind, he can choose whether he wants to choose trials/MX etc to make a living, when he is ready. All the best (But, can't resist, as this has wound me up: - Interest from MX coaches on a 4 year old? Are you mental? - That moto trials practice will get him no where. He needs to be riding mud, so he learns how to make the bike grip. - Why is he going around flat corners with his leg up by his handlebars?! He needs to have his weight over the front of the tank, his inside leg close to skimming the track and his outer leg applying pressure to front of the foot peg. I ride MX, trials and bike trial. If you want him to turn pro, at least teach him properly)

Harry Main is ridiculous. Style, precision, power and all the tricks Good to see an old fashioned ramp park video, rather than a video full of just 180 bunnyhops like they normally are these days. Flair at 1.55 from a virtual standstill! http://youtu.be/XQu1YwfqTkY

Holy. Sh*t. That is all

Emma Bristow. She is a very good rider. And if you need a hot one that is also good, check out Katy Bullock. (She was even on X factor)

It's exciting to see what could happen. But there's still plenty of life left in you, Jim )

He could well be sponsored by such high-end brands. I remember meeting him in 06. Very funny guy, and at the time the highest paid trials rider in the world. He's all tattoo'd up, so has the punk rock/metal mulisha look to him (a sponsors dream). He was sponsored by Criminal clothing back then at least, so could well have moved on. He also told a story about doing a demo at some sex fetish show once....

Amazing. But out of all of that, where Dani just rides the tree at 2.42 was my fave! Who just rides a tree?....

YES!!!

Awesome. But, I had to watch that twice. First time I wasn't blown away, as just seemed like another Danny Mac video (weird 360 drops, tyres with 80lbs+ psi...) He isn't the best trials rider and he isn't the best BMXer and also the hype surrounding this video was unnecessary and had started to grate on me. But, 2nd time around I chilled out and appreciated it a lot more. You forget that you judge him by different standards! 2nd time I just enjoyed watching his all-round skill. Some of the gaps and drops were huge (I dont think the camera does the scale of them justice sometimes) and he must put some serious strain on his body. Loved the riding spots. My favourite was the gap to wall ride at 6.45 ) Gutted he's got to front flip before me Look forward to the next one (Just needs less hype next time!)
