Elements

Over the last few months I've been riding my 26" Element that Inspired generously donated as a prize for the GETcreative competition last year. I finally collected enough clips to put together into a little video.
Even though it is on a street trials bike I think this video still ended up being more trials than street, though hopefully with some flow. I'm pretty happy with it, hope you enjoy it as well:

a deserved winner from the competition, and you topped that video with this one in my opinion.

only thing letting you down was the mech on the bike...jeeez you'd have been so bloody smooth without that.

Thanks Ben, I hear you (and it) on the mech. I don't really notice it while I'm riding, and forgot about it until I started editing. For the video decided It was worth the pain of the mech-slap to hear the rest of the bike sounds.

haha, nah, it was a clip that the show Arrested Development (which is a great show by the way) put up to promote their new season, which I put in as a joke. More here, though you probably won't 'get it' if you haven't watched the rest of the show. I didn't have to do much but chrome-key the background out and adjust the brightness slightly.

Nice edit dude. Diggin your style.

Do you prefer the Element to the Ashton? How do they compare?

Thanks Ross,

I like the element (slightly) better for pretty much everything. Its streetier and spinnier for sure, but surprisingly taps and pedal ups better as well. The element is also noticeably stiffer torsionally, which is really noticable on pedal ups and pedal gaps. The only trials move I don't like it for is sidehops, but I hate doing that move with anything other than a true competition bike nowadays anyway. It was nice in the skatepark, but that suffered a bit when I put the long trialtech stem on to push it more towards the trials side.
