DangerousDave Posted December 13, 2014 Report Share Posted December 13, 2014 I thought I had lost all my footage from 2004, but I stumbled across it today. I'm riding a Megamo Equipe, Expert, two Radicals as well as a Zoo Boa. I didn't ride very well that year, but I was happy with the lines I pulled out near the end of the video. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LEON Posted December 13, 2014 Report Share Posted December 13, 2014 I thought "there's no way he's making that last gap" Nice gap style. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DangerousDave Posted December 13, 2014 Author Report Share Posted December 13, 2014 Really??? Nice video mate Thanks for the positive comment. I wasn't riding well relative to the season before. I made a lot of progress in 2003, but felt like I took a step backwards the following season (which I mostly blame on that dual disc Equipe).

Paperclip Posted December 14, 2014 Report Share Posted December 14, 2014 Never really been up to speed with older videos like this other than the usual's and I really liked it, low BB is so much fun to watch up to new videos. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rupintart Posted December 15, 2014 Report Share Posted December 15, 2014 Thanks for the positive comment. I wasn't riding well relative to the season before. I made a lot of progress in 2003, but felt like I took a step backwards the following season (which I mostly blame on that dual disc Equipe). Why you say that (about the Equipe)? I thought I remember you liking it back in the day. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DangerousDave Posted December 16, 2014 Author Report Share Posted December 16, 2014 Why you say that (about the Equipe)? I thought I remember you liking it back in the day. I liked the look of it, but from a riding perspective, it just never felt as good as the Radical or Expert frame. The geometry just didn't work for me. Dual disc didn't help either. When you were doing an inside wedge (eg, two wheels on top of a stump) it felt like you were rocking back and forth because of spoke flex and pad knock.

p_ruskin Posted December 16, 2014 Report Share Posted December 16, 2014 i remember watching last years 'ten years ago' video which was awesome, and this one surpassed it, so sick! banging tune too Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
toyota200x Posted December 21, 2014 Report Share Posted December 21, 2014 I admire how trials ridden by Dave just flows. You don't stand and wobble/wiggle in one spot getting ready to do a move. 10 years...so long ago but at the same time it was just yesterday.
