Rich Pearson Posted February 21, 2005 Report Share Posted February 21, 2005 As the title says, I was kind of wondering, who, in everyones different opinions, people regard as say the top five riders ever. Mine would be; Tibo Marriaux Petr Kraus Martyn Ashton Ryan Leech Hans Rey In no praticular order; just bored out of my skull 'cos I can't ride...

Brisa Posted February 21, 2005 Report Share Posted February 21, 2005 I think your choice are really the starter's of trials. Personally if it was based on riding ability it would be in no particular order: Danny Smith Ali C Matt Berridge Craig Lee Scott Neil Tunni And another persons videos amaze me are Jack Barnes.

ben_travis Posted February 21, 2005 Report Share Posted February 21, 2005 im not sure on how to answer this post, who i regard as the BEST riders in the world are benito, hermance Cousts who i draw inspiration from, is a totally different kettle of fish, dw@hulltrials - damon watson, ana amazin rider who has only been riding 1.5 years, wait till u see his vid CLS and Tunni - both are superb, no need to say anythin really you all know james porter - think its u, the ginger :"> lad who is real young, ur f**king ace spencer - not a forum member, also real young, superb lazy rider streety big fatty, (i know he will read this) holroyd - when he releases a video its always got something cool on it, even though he seems to have fizzled out a bit he is ace. rowan - hes ace too. so thats who i regard as good and who i draw inspiration from cheers ben Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brian Bleech Posted February 21, 2005 Report Share Posted February 21, 2005 When I see 'who is the best rider ever' I always think its not who's best, but who inspires you to ride and improve yourself, but I always think that best riders are the guys I ride with reguary as they drag my ass out and push me to ride bigger and better stuff than I would on my own :P but that said leech is god :P :) :P Of course the 'hall of famers' deserve a mention The Marty(i)ns Hans Rey Ot Pi Canas Libor Karas The new uci or streety young upstarts that are pushing trials in various ways (all good) VH Coust Vinco Ros Akkers Tongue (when he rides) Ryan Leech And the ones that just get out there and ride, may not be too well known but are cool to watch and a good laugh... Those that went to the indoor trial and loads others that i can't be arsed to type there names out! (N) Mike Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DTT - Echo Team Posted February 22, 2005 Report Share Posted February 22, 2005 Jack Barnes. i second that. (Y) Ben Savage / James Hyland (thier natural ability, is amazing) Craig / Neil (they are just crazy, and have set a new level of riding) inspiration riders, such as: Shrewsbury, Pratt, Goddard, Firth, Berridge, Ponting :D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AdamR28 Posted February 22, 2005 Report Share Posted February 22, 2005 Ot Pi Cesar Canas Dani Comas Edd Tongue Hans Rey Petr Kraus ← Gilles coustellier Giacomo coustellier Shrewsbury, Pratt, Goddard, Firth, Berridge, Ponting ← Not trying to 'pick' on anyone here, or put anyone down - but, how can these riders be compared!? Tim, Elliot etc... are very good UK street riders, but, if you stick them in the bike show arena with the likes of Giaco Coust, Dani Comas or Vince Hermance, they'd be lost!

(Y) ← not really, they have different ways of riding. im sure they wouldnt be "lost". i bet they would be able to have the crowds gasping, just in a different way to how the cousts etc would.

AdamR28 Posted February 22, 2005 Report Share Posted February 22, 2005 I guess it depends how the course is designed, true, they'd pull different lines. Just... hard to explain... these people haven't been in trials for years, and made a living from it, competed in world championships etc. Theyre damn good riders, but I personally wouldnt class them as the best EVER!
