Ross W. Posted May 8, 2011 Report Share Posted May 8, 2011 I've finally finished my winter video which really ran into spring. I'm pretty happy with the riding, didn't get to film everything I wanted to but its long enough already. Some local scenery shots in there as well. First half is natural, second half is urban, so if you're bored skip to the second half. Tell me what you think. *****Warning: This video contains riding in tights***** 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jedamere Posted May 8, 2011 Report Share Posted May 8, 2011 im not trying to be funny or make a joke here, but whats with the tights? is it easier to do things, like less restricting? im genuinely confused.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Canardweb Posted May 8, 2011 Report Share Posted May 8, 2011 (edited) Awesome as usual. Just one thing: Your tap technique is not dialed because this technique is all about pedalling. You arrive freewheeling and then you tap. You should constantly pedal and you will get much higher, much easier!

J.KYDD Posted May 8, 2011 Report Share Posted May 8, 2011 Loved it, as i did the last one. But my earlier comment still stands. Please Please PLEASE wear a pair of over-shorts with the tights. Even just small running ones Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
liam n Posted May 8, 2011 Report Share Posted May 8, 2011 im not trying to be funny or make a joke here, but whats with the tights? is it easier to do things, like less restricting? im genuinely confused.. a)tight are warm b )they stop you getting cramp c) they hug your body, unlike normal clothing there for less rubbing and less getting caught on bike d)the hugging makes riding more comfortable e)they're light all these points can improve riding especially in the cold Loved it, as i did the last one. But my earlier comment still stands. Please Please PLEASE wear a pair of over-shorts with the tights. Even just small running ones yes as kydd says where shorts, tights are ment to be a base layer or under tights i.e you wear something over the top(shorts) amazing riding though , you've got so much control on the bike! well done Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sam T Posted May 8, 2011 Report Share Posted May 8, 2011 Amazing amount of bike control! What freewheel are you running? Sounds quiet in some clips. Well done. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TrialsIsHard Posted May 8, 2011 Report Share Posted May 8, 2011 agree with the comments above about tights, but with control like that it doesn't matter at all! loved it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dušan Posted May 8, 2011 Report Share Posted May 8, 2011 Nice video but ugh... i really think you should wear shorts or something... really riding only in tights is just weird Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mr. Liam pretty much said it all about the tights, I only wear them when its cold. Cheers for all your comments! I run a King hub, that's why you don't hear a freewheel. Edited May 9, 2011 by Ross W.

Koxx Kock Posted May 9, 2011 Report Share Posted May 9, 2011 Great Video, The bike seems to suit you really well. Aint got a problem with the lycra because it does allow for a lot more movement but maybe a pair of shorts over the top next time Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Its all in the timing! Steve Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
