trials hoe Posted January 29, 2012 Report Share Posted January 29, 2012 After a dig around while I was down at my moms I found my old copy of evolve on tape and not having a tape player anymore I cant watch it wich is lame was a good watch. however after a nostalgic think back I remembered there was a young kid like 4 or 5 I think (been a while since I watched it) I'm sure this youngster was awsome for his age, does anybody remember this kids name? I'm curious to see if he still rides or not, it was only a short clip but its been doing my head in! anybody know? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mark W Posted January 29, 2012 Report Share Posted January 29, 2012 "My name's Steven and I like biking"*. Steven Baia is the kid anyway. *Something like that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scotty Evil1 Posted January 29, 2012 Report Share Posted January 29, 2012 (edited) Stevie Baia. Cool kid, does a lot of demos now with his brother mainly, does really well at them pretty popular over in canada land, doesnt really do much else now i dont think. Did comps for a few years, but hasnt done any "big" ones for years. Had a nice style. He came over and done the worlds a year or so after his bit in evolve, got beaten by some crap english kid...........

Scott Gibbs Posted January 29, 2012 Report Share Posted January 29, 2012 Probably my fave trials film. Jeff's epic fail gap over the fence to ruined bike and Ryans busted top tube via his knackers! How trials has moved on these days i think JJ's megamo is the only bike that resembles what people ride today!! Wish i still had a vcr to watch it again!

Rich Posted January 29, 2012 Report Share Posted January 29, 2012 Yeah I remember Evolve, fantastic, definitely watched it more than any other trials video! Id watched it so much that big parts of it had worn out, always used to pump me up before a ride! It was the first trials that id watched and it totally blew my mind what could be done on a bike! It was pretty much my inspiration for starting trials. Its amazing how much the bikes have changed and how the standard of riding has gone up so much! I managed to take the old VHS into work and record it onto DVD, I was able to recover the badly worn bits as well, so got a copy safe on my computer Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

murph82 Posted January 30, 2012 Report Share Posted January 30, 2012 would have been good if reed had made a vid using English riders, ed tongue would have ripped it! Chainspotting is on YouTube in 5 parts. Obviously ashton would have been in it, who else would you have picked for it? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Endohopper Posted January 31, 2012 Report Share Posted January 31, 2012 ... a vid using English riders... Merchat's last movie Contact had a section of UK footage , some indoor speedtrial event and a ridiculous street session with Akkers , Petr Kraus and J-Lo (Lenosky) . I'm still astounded how Edd Tounge manuals over a car,from back to front ,smooth as you like . Also , I got a certain DVD for Christmas which helped to kindle my fascination with our sport aeons hence : Patsy Kensit's narration...

trials hoe Posted January 31, 2012 Author Report Share Posted January 31, 2012 Oh yeah "Robs World!" The hotel bed trials!! haha that rings a bell ... go on no-wage page!... what ever happened to hawes (spelling) and ed tongues brother? I recall the tongues iin an old ass mbuk mag farting about on a canal barge. too many riders fall into obscurity, trials and noteriety don't go hand in hand, unless your one of the few legends.

Mark W Posted January 31, 2012 Report Share Posted January 31, 2012 Martin Hawyes is working in the industry still. Think he reps for an importer? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Luke Rainbird Posted January 31, 2012 Report Share Posted January 31, 2012 Yeah, he was the south west rep for Fisher Outdoor Leisure. Not sure if he's still in the same position (or even still with Fisher) or not now though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JD™ Posted January 31, 2012 Report Share Posted January 31, 2012 Yeah, he was the south west rep for Fisher Outdoor Leisure. Not sure if he's still in the same position (or even still with Fisher) or not now though. Pretty sure he moved specifically into dealing with the Norco brand in Europe, but that's a couple of years ago now too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I found that on ebay last year, seemed awesome at the time, nothing that amazing in it but think i'm right saying it was the first "mainstream" emglish vid! I remember now the bit you were on about, what vid was it in though? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
