Lots who go carthy bars in the top uci circuit look like they cannot ride a bike anymore, absolutely horrendous riding. Looks so wrong, so awkward. Like a woman giving birth to a 1300 pound blue whale, it shouldnt happen. it looks horrible. Looks like they can barely ride a bike, Like they just learned how to back hop. But they go up a 3 m wall... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rusevelt Posted June 26, 2023 Report Share Posted June 26, 2023 The little tree fakie move he does at 2:17 was nice even he was slightly out of the cam shot. His style does look awkward when on the backwheel. Not a stable as I have seen him in the past. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But they go up a 3 m wall... I couldn't agree more with you. Everytime I read or hear the level of some is impressive I am horrified by the lack of what I would call style in their riding. It's just that generation who wants to go too fast and learn how to go high before having any control over their bike. For example when you watch young Spanish riders ride, you have to admit what they go up to is unbelievably high, but they way they do is really not nice to watch. Dani Baron comes to mind and I am sorry to say this as of course he is an incredible rider. Plus they all look the same when riding their bikes now. There was some days you could watch a replay of comps on YouTube and recognize riders' riding even with 140P quality video. Nowadays, they absolutely look all the same because they all want to imitate what the top riders do but way too fast... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rusevelt Posted June 29, 2023 Report Share Posted June 29, 2023 Looking at Jack Carthy run at the finals, you can kinda understand why has opted to run the bars like that. Really helps with the steep virtual stuff. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AndyT Posted July 23, 2023 Report Share Posted July 23, 2023 There is no kinda understanding... It is blatantly obvious why !!! The big question is- is jt just because of the idiotic uci sections ? You look at biu sections from decades ago- very very different. Very very boring to watch !! Big pogo jumps make super smiles on spectators, and i believe thats the only thing that drive$$ the whole sport. Charlie and jack look like they are one w their bikes. So many others look like they are at the proctologist or doing their taxes on the bike/ it looks Horrible. Look at the top american champions, I'm sure they are amazing at uci sections but riding around they look like absolute beginners- super awkward position and you can tell the body isnt into it and the mind~bike connection is like 20%. I also see pogo folks crashing on basic two wheeled things you would never crash on w a normal bike... usually happens when they dont hit right and they drop to the floor in an awkward position on both wheels, just flops the body they only meant for that rear love... Different times , different world- I wouldnt be mad w a full crewkers or clean, it really is a different set of muscles you use.. From leaning back and balancing to standing up straight on your pogo stick- weird world but the moves are insanely huge so whatcha gon do... Carbon , through axles, oversize head tube.... got me droolin for sure Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
