Rossi Posted September 28, 2008 Report Share Posted September 28, 2008 the chilled vid was twice as good as the TGS. Some proper techy lines in the coolcats vid. When are you goin HD?? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rumplestiltskin Posted September 28, 2008 Report Share Posted September 28, 2008 Damn you Ben. I was meant to be doing uni work today. Now I want to go out and ride. I hope you're happy with yourself. Sunday was an excellent video - been to some of those spots with Ross recently and the lines you were doing are massive. As for the tgs video, I get the feeling a lot of people don't understand it was made with tongue planted firmly in cheek and are genuinely trying to compare the two. Either way, when SOAD came on, I burst out laughing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Matty M Posted September 28, 2008 Report Share Posted September 28, 2008 Sick man. Personally I enjoyed the longer video more. I like you philosaphy too. Too many people do the exact same things making trials video's now aday's almost not even watchable.Have to agree with you there, "normal" trials as its know up here nowadays usually involves sidehops and gaps. If thats your thing then fairplay but a bit of variation is needed. All the videos nowadays are too serious in hoping to get "sponsored" what happened to a time when trials was all about being with mates and getting the banter while riding casually? (rant over) both videos are excellent you have indeed progressed very far with your riding over the past year well done cant wait for your next. x Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Damon W Posted September 29, 2008 Report Share Posted September 29, 2008 very good riding in both!my only critisism is the music,but i know music is usually the issue in most videos, very entertaining to watch! That place under the bridge looks sooooo good, with the drop gap and rail ride, i wonna go there also all the places in them videos look really good, like there millions of lines in everyplace, unlike this shithole i live in, were per sqaure 100ft there A! ridable wall.lolkeep them coming bigman!p.s : bike looks awesome!made me wonna ride again that video has!

STEVE-0 Posted September 29, 2008 Report Share Posted September 29, 2008 (edited) Awesome, loved the rail lines, some great originality there......loved the jump 90 to sidehop. Great variety and quality relaxed tune.Hero!by the way do you usually ride death grip on the front for sidehops?

ben_travis Posted September 29, 2008 Author Report Share Posted September 29, 2008 by the way do you usually ride death grip on the front for sidehops?yer man...its the way forward .but seriously, i think its the reason that i damage my chainstays so much. So im going to try going back to using the front brake.However, because I go to two wheels, i cannot find a reason for holding my front brake! Been like that for a while, and hopefully i can get out of it . We will see. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mat Smith! Posted September 29, 2008 Report Share Posted September 29, 2008 was good yeah, but i dont like your style on that bike, i feel you were alot better IMO on the czar or adamant even, i dont know why.still, beast lines.Mat Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Balthazor Posted September 30, 2008 Report Share Posted September 30, 2008 My good god Ben you ride like you were born on a trials bike, you make it look effortless and pure brilliance, some super moves and lines i absolutley loved the 1st vid and the 2nd was good too but 1st defo the best.ps. whats the bike your riding it looks awsome Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
craigjames Posted September 30, 2008 Report Share Posted September 30, 2008 first video absolutely owned the second. the tgs vid just seemed a bit amateurishly put together compared to the first. knowing ti was, it just wasnt in the same league composition and editing wise as the first. dunno about the first tune though, work in the collective, love the song, just dont know if it fitted. some awesome riding none the less Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stan Shaw Posted September 30, 2008 Report Share Posted September 30, 2008 Sweet video Ben Some very cool lines in there, like the 90 up off the rail to wall.Non TGS = win! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Greetings Posted October 1, 2008 Report Share Posted October 1, 2008 I think this a compliment and criticism in one, haha, but i was struggling with inspiration for music, and thought I would use this tune as its pretty darn awesome. I agree with you though, but i hope you did enjoy the video anyway.It is a compliment, you Rowan and the Danny Mac video guy (Brainchild?) release the best UK videos in my opinion. Yours I like especially because of the creative editing and the original tunes you use. It's just this one didn't work for me because of the music. That is all, I'm not criticising your riding since I'm in no position to do so and even so, it's pretty damn impressive. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ben_travis Posted October 3, 2008 Author Report Share Posted October 3, 2008 cheers for the ol' compliments boyo'sinur...i know what you mean about the song. the more i watch the video the more i think it doesnt suit. As you say, i think it is because the collective used it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
