CalRobbo341 Posted August 19, 2012 Report Share Posted August 19, 2012 And I guess its classed as static riding, but people do mix it up now and again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dngr2self Posted August 19, 2012 Report Share Posted August 19, 2012 You can't really do a static tap. I think it stems from people being boring and only doing those three things. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BradJohnson Posted August 19, 2012 Report Share Posted August 19, 2012 Basically TGS is riding nice block objects. eg.) walls, and concrete objects. Not like rocks and natural stuff which are tricky objects to ride. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CalopS Posted August 19, 2012 Report Share Posted August 19, 2012 You can ride block walls and concret objects creativly or put them in a line though. TGS is single move riding. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dezmtber Posted August 20, 2012 Author Report Share Posted August 20, 2012 i read a post earlier this week it said there are these types of trial rider. comp trials ( natural) street trials (urban) tgs trials and something else i forget. isnt street the same as tgs really? or have got it all wrong Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CalopS Posted August 20, 2012 Report Share Posted August 20, 2012 (edited) TGS is just the same bunch of moves at different walls. Street is using the landscape to be creative to do interesting things, and I don't mean that in a 24" Inspired way. Just look at Stan Shaws latest video or Steve Rogers. It's always going to be there because you have to practice single moves to get good at those moves but I hope in video terms it dies off because it's really boring to watch!

liam n Posted August 21, 2012 Report Share Posted August 21, 2012 TGS was made up by Ali C. It doesn't really matter what they call it, if you enjoy it, do it. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dezmtber Posted August 21, 2012 Author Report Share Posted August 21, 2012 so its street trials improving? should it be called sti Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dngr2self Posted August 21, 2012 Report Share Posted August 21, 2012 It is what it is. Personally I like to think I ride trials, not natty, tgs, street comp or whatever other names people come up with. I'm not too keen on thé sti thing either, It brings back some bad memories Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JD™ Posted August 21, 2012 Report Share Posted August 21, 2012 so its street trials improving? should it be called sti You got the correct answer in the first reply - it stands for Taps Gaps and Sidehops and means a style of riding which focusses solely on those 3 moves. Simple! the rest of the replies have either expanded on that or been piss takes. It's really nothing to do with 'street' trials, even though it's on the streets predominantly.

Andeee Posted August 22, 2012 Report Share Posted August 22, 2012 (edited) narr, I was riding Sheffield and saw a reflection of myself in a window back in the days of when i use to ride a seatless bike and to this day i was the one who created the word and style of TGS. Ah so is that how it started then? Edited August 22, 2012 by Andeee Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ali C Posted August 22, 2012 Report Share Posted August 22, 2012 so you're suggesting that because I rode a bike without a seat then I rode TGS? Not sure if you're trying to insult me or not? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
T-Limburn Posted August 22, 2012 Report Share Posted August 22, 2012 What a joke. Please look up Ali's old seatless bike vids and see how creative his riding was even then, definitely not TGS. Yeah, those moves are involved but there's also a lot more going down. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
