chrishayton Posted June 22, 2010 Report Share Posted June 22, 2010 1. Akrigg (as his level of bike riding is a joke) 2. Ali C (super versatile and smooth and shocks me with what he pulls off) 3. Danny Mac (that video....) 4. Rowan (smoothest rider ever) 5. Damon (60inch sidehops and 10foot gaps will always have a place in my heart) Thats UK. Marco Grosnek (spelling) could fit in a top 6 list though Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
-Dylan- Posted June 23, 2010 Report Share Posted June 23, 2010 Here goes, always rode 26” so a bit biased but.... Rowan Johns – Swish Style Akrigg – Creativity/ Balls Damon – Power/ “How the f**k” TRA (He counts!) – Technique/ Power. Whenever I struggle on a side-hop or gap, I think “What would TRA do?” Adam burns - Had to get a trials king in there! Generally a massive inspiration back in the day.

I like that list but Akrigg I'm afraid hasn't really been a trials rider for a long time. I think Checkin Konstatin and David Sellero deserve a mention in here Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dan Clark Posted June 23, 2010 Report Share Posted June 23, 2010 No offence to Lazenby, because he is a beast, but I've seen Ali C do bigger stuff brakeless.

Mark W Posted June 23, 2010 Report Share Posted June 23, 2010 I like that list but Akrigg I'm afraid hasn't really been a trials rider for a long time. To be fair, that XC video he did for Mongoose contained more actual trials riding in it than virtually any other video in the Videos section when it came out. But then again, we have different opinions on what trials is I suppose. Apparently, in the past few years, queueing up to sidehop the same wall as all your mates is "trials" and actually riding different terrain and finding creative and different ways of getting over obstacles isn't trials 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You are right though. I personally find it boring all doing the same thing. I'd rather find new lines on things i've already done. Still each to there own.

He's still done a lot for street, and his section in Trial Noir is still pretty rad even though it's quite a few years old now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
