Danny Kearns Posted November 9, 2006 Report Share Posted November 9, 2006 Thing is this is an awkward question, Because Damon not only goes big, he is super smooth at the same time.Dan. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Joe Papasnap Maher Posted November 9, 2006 Report Share Posted November 9, 2006 I would say the the thinkbikes logo sums it up really..(damon) its big, but its not clever.(shrews) its not big, but it is clever Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mtbjosh Posted November 9, 2006 Report Share Posted November 9, 2006 well i love watchin the style where riders attack what there doing and make it better and with more style than others, as in akkers and leech, also one guy from my LBS was like that on a planet X, his riding style was amazing to watch, instead of one big move, hed continue doing another but linking it with a manuel or a switzerland squeaker, any way youd do something, he could redo it many a time with different approaches and have no repetetivness at all. oh and PHAT rail gaps and drop gaps dont go a miss i dont really have a real preference Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BobbyD Posted November 9, 2006 Report Share Posted November 9, 2006 i like smooth, effortless riding whether it be massive or small. i hate to keep referring to ben but i like his style, theres probably other guys on here with much the same style and ability. after watching my vids i look too "floppy" on a bike for some reason Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Orgun_Donor Posted November 9, 2006 Report Share Posted November 9, 2006 I like all types of riding. Love Damons recent Videos. Rowan and Shrewsbury are both amazing to ride with though! And really enjoy their styles as well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr_Pitbull Posted November 9, 2006 Report Share Posted November 9, 2006 The people you've chose doesnt really give out a very wide choice of styles, thats only 3.

manuel Posted November 10, 2006 Report Share Posted November 10, 2006 surely shrews stylee is new ? I mean its sort of come about due to the 24 " influence ? and thats pretty new - going big is as old as it gets - people have been trying to go higher since day one ...anyway out of the three its him...Damons a beast, but its too much for me.... dont like to think about the danger ...to be honest my ultimate rider for style / inventiveness / Pretty big moves = ASHTON.

ben_travis Posted November 10, 2006 Report Share Posted November 10, 2006 how about i like them all equally and download videos of all styles.i think these style debate topics should be closed early on, we have heard ALLLLLLLLLLL the arguments before, and its pointless. people ride how they wanna ride. simpleargh, this topic does my napper in Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ramps Posted November 11, 2006 Report Share Posted November 11, 2006 (edited) The above I agree with, slightly. I will add my two pennies either way. Big riding is impressive, yes, but it is also boring and repetitive I think. I admit I don't go big at all, but its not my thing. Smooth riding looks more controlled with the bike but you can be too smooth wich Imo can ruin the riding. not naming any names but I know one or two lads who ride super smooth in order to save their bike from damage and in the proccess seem to not improve in other areas of trials. Old skool? If that means linking moves together be it big or small, then that would be my prefered riding to watch/try for myself.

Ash-Kennard Posted November 11, 2006 Report Share Posted November 11, 2006 i personally really like my own style, which is hitting things hard, but with smooth techy moves linking lines. it works for me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Janson Posted November 11, 2006 Report Share Posted November 11, 2006 smooth is my melody. if i nail a line but do it in a harsh and sketchy manner, i am not happy. i am a bit of a control freak when it comes to trials, so smooth does it for me.

Mat Smith! Posted November 11, 2006 Report Share Posted November 11, 2006 Ali C, big, technique, smooth, spinny, style, natural.OH YES.Mat Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PaRtZ Posted November 11, 2006 Report Share Posted November 11, 2006 Ali C's riding is my 100% fav! I love the spinniness and the originality he has, as well as the mahoosive moves he doesHes a beast! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Greetings Posted November 11, 2006 Report Share Posted November 11, 2006 (edited) On videos it must be Rowan's riding but then I've been up in Derby, rode with Neil and seen how incredibly smooth he is. So I guess the opinion can only be based on videos unless you've ridden with all these riders.edit: Add a group called Matts. This would include Arkwright, Staples and maybe Partz.
