aener Posted August 17, 2015 Author Report Share Posted August 17, 2015 Thanks again all Feels good ^.^Just wondering... does it feel weird for you to ride with brakes?Not really, no. I very rarely ride the bike with brakes - when I do it doesn't really "feel" weird, but I do have some issues.Pulling the brakes at the wrong time or forgetting to pull them, happens occasionally, but the most common issue is forgetting to let go of them on things like sidehops. This means I put all my power into a locked-up wheel and shoot straight over the bars @flipp:I have no knowledge about this, but anyway: Now that you have unlocked the BMX street pro level, some major BMX-external sponsor might be interested. Thinking Vans, for example.One question: Does brakeless at your level still include these scary-fast "no-brake holding the bike" crashes?Firstly, I'm a very long way from "BMX street pro level", and even if I wasn't, I very much doubt they would be.I'm not exactly sure what crashes you mean, but by the sound of it, no I've unfortunately had a LOT of practice at escaping crashes, so I guess it's just kind of normal to me now :/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pashleyfaithfull Posted August 17, 2015 Report Share Posted August 17, 2015 I simply love your videos. Never a let down. I still can't get my head round what you're able to get down brakeless. It's remarkable. Massive respect to you. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ross McArthur Posted August 18, 2015 Report Share Posted August 18, 2015 Sure I read somewhere that these extreme sports types are actually psychopaths but in a different way than normal. I may be talking shit, I will try and find it. Danny Mac did a TV thing about it. Cant remember what it's called. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tony Harrison Posted August 18, 2015 Report Share Posted August 18, 2015 Hard to write a response to this video... Blown away by the moves of course, but there's a lot to be said for the nature of it all, taking the idea of brakeless trials riding and making something of it. When I first saw people riding without brakes I thought it was just a fad, would never go anywhere, but this shows once more that often the limits are in our own heads. Very inspiring stuff, great to watch. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ross McArthur Posted August 18, 2015 Report Share Posted August 18, 2015 (edited) To most it is a fad. Flipp is the only guy to have ever stuck with it. Good effort. Edited August 18, 2015 by Ross McArthur Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chimpanzyyyy Posted August 19, 2015 Report Share Posted August 19, 2015 The big change for me in this one is the how clean you make every lines look it's so effortless and easy I had to watch it several time to realise how insane the riding is love you Flipp watch out, Ali C!

bikeperson45 Posted August 19, 2015 Report Share Posted August 19, 2015 The filming annoyed me a little though most of the time your body was cut out of the frame, it was like watching your bike rather than you riding your bike if that makes sense. Ridiculous though obviously. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guillermo Marin Posted August 19, 2015 Report Share Posted August 19, 2015 The big change for me in this one is the how clean you make every lines look Totally agree. This one was something else, more smooth and clean. I thought it wasn't possible but he got a next level again. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cap Posted August 20, 2015 Report Share Posted August 20, 2015 Awesome video, I have no idea how you manage to do the stuff you do. Only video I have recently been able to watch over and over. It's a blettin. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eskimo Posted August 21, 2015 Report Share Posted August 21, 2015 Props to sticking with the brakeless, think you're one of the last to keep doing it (out of the people i know ofc) Loved the endo spin to gap Prefer your old style of music though! It had zing. Whatever that means Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aener Posted August 22, 2015 Author Report Share Posted August 22, 2015 Gosh. That's quite some reception! Thanks The filming annoyed me a little though most of the time your body was cut out of the frame, it was like watching your bike rather than you riding your bike if that makes sense. Ridiculous though obviously.A lot of the time, it's when I've filmed something whilst riding alone so I'm just setting it as close as possible to see the line better, but several of them were when it became a stylistic choice after filming alone a bit and liking the effect.I'll bear this in mind for the future.Cheers!

I personally like the "bike shot" angles, you get a better idea of what's going on with the bike, and how everything works. Just my 20p though.

pashleyfaithfull Posted August 23, 2015 Report Share Posted August 23, 2015 I laugh at the fact that you consider that footage to be "scraps". Simply one of the sickest riders ever, pushing a unique discipline to unimaginable levels. Stay riding forever please. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ross McArthur Posted August 24, 2015 Report Share Posted August 24, 2015 Was it trials that pulled you away from the Free Running scene? And what is it thats keeping you motivated to ride trials? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

aener Posted August 24, 2015 Author Report Share Posted August 24, 2015 Was it trials that pulled you away from the Free Running scene? And what is it thats keeping you motivated to ride trials? It didn't pull me away from it, but it did replace it. I was into both at the same time for a while - probably around 18 months or so - but then I just lost interest for various reasons and stopped. The second question is a little delicate and I'm not really willing to go into it so publicly. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The second question is a little delicate and I'm not really willing to go into it so publicly. I watched those free-running videos a while back, do you think that's how your well known ability to "bail" "jump off" came from? The reaction times involved in parkour could've quite easily transferred across Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pashleyfaithfull Posted August 30, 2015 Report Share Posted August 30, 2015 Just watching this again. Its incredibly easy to just watch this as a trials video and enjoy the control and style. Then you think about from the perspective of riding the lines yourself brakeless and it just blows you away. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
