Mark W Posted May 29, 2015 Author Report Share Posted May 29, 2015 Ali, you on 22-15 gearing? I had to pedal like mad to air out of a steep 10 set. Looks like you had tons of speed. 22:16 with 170mm cranks On Pinkbike... Some nice PR for Mark, who I believe may be Belarusian, too- good work chaps! http://www.pinkbike.com/news/video-ali-clarkson-in-barcelona-2015.html I'm not really too sure what's happened with that write-up - I sent the copy to Duncan who I assume sent it to Pinkbike, so I don't really get at what point Ali became Scottish and started riding 'street trails', as well as every bit of sentence structure getting raped. Cheers for the heads up though. Thanks for all the comments from everyone too, glad people are into it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JD™ Posted May 29, 2015 Report Share Posted May 29, 2015 'We' call it the bubble. I'm not sure why. I don't need to say how much I love this video. Hopefully I'll get to see you both soon and pretend I didn't like it much. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CalopS Posted May 29, 2015 Report Share Posted May 29, 2015 (edited) So smooth. Doesn't even look like you're trying anymore. Put some effort in Ali Edited May 31, 2015 by CalopS Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bersha91 Posted May 30, 2015 Report Share Posted May 30, 2015 Why so smooth, clean and stylish? Because Ali C! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
p_ruskin Posted May 30, 2015 Report Share Posted May 30, 2015 Unreal moves going down. Ali's riding recently, especially since switching to the steel frames, has tempted me massively into buying an inspired. Something i thought i wouldn't ever be tempted by! if only i had some money..

Dave Anscombe Posted May 30, 2015 Report Share Posted May 30, 2015 One of the worlds most stylish riders in my opinion Really sweet riding/video Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ross McArthur Posted May 31, 2015 Report Share Posted May 31, 2015 Too many stand out lines to mention. Tune worked really well and makes me want to hit replay every time I watch it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mark W Posted May 31, 2015 Author Report Share Posted May 31, 2015 Speaking of - the band were really cool about the song being used for the video. General shout-out/high fives to the Vagabond Poets for that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ali C Posted June 2, 2015 Report Share Posted June 2, 2015 Thanks for all the comments guys! I'm a little surprised how well it's gone down as I though the riding was a little stiff compared with previous videos, I wasn't sure whether the song would go down well either but people seem keen 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

General shout-out/high fives to the Vagabond Poets for that. From what Duncs has told me, its a total pain in the hoof trying to officially ask bands for the use of their songs?

Mark W Posted June 2, 2015 Author Report Share Posted June 2, 2015 Yeah, fortunately from his experience in the past Duncan was able to give me a list of bands they knew were good to work with. For Duncan's Malaga video they had some real hassles with it - one song they wanted to use was approved by the band themselves, but then the label found out and wanted to double the fee. When you're talking £500+ for a song for a video that you're just putting up on Youtube which is going to get at most tens of thousands of views that's not exactly viable. Labels need to get their shit together and start offering licensing that's more realistic. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sam Nichols Posted June 3, 2015 Report Share Posted June 3, 2015 Veeeeery swish guys. Really nice work. Loving the front wheel skills and all the tech, Ali. Who's the Amish @ 2:04? I haven't rided my trials bike for a year o.O, watching this has made me sad and also motivated. Time to sort my life out! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
