I don't even know what "type" of trials I subscribe too.... I try and make my bike as light as possible, purely because I enjoy the engineering behind lightweight parts or modifying / making my own parts....My main three moves are, you guessed it Tap Gap and Sidehop; I try and ride as much natural as possible but its just not possible a lot of the time. I want to go as big as possible and just to get my riding up to the highest possible level.If that means inch pinching to achieve this then im all for it. It's just another type of training surely? Just far too much trying to put people in certain groups now.
Like other people have said in this thread, the only trouble with TGS is the image that goes with it...but lets be honest it isn't that much of a problem and, in my opinion at least, strikes quite a parallel to the BMX world. Loads of them are aggressive riders, that seem to have quite a lot of anger issues! They also beat the shite out of their bikes at time...but like trials theres so many different types of people that do it.
As for Matthew62 ripping down the quality of videos, that really annoys me. I really try hard in all the videos I edit; I realise they're not amazing but I among others do try really hard. Trials is very hard to film well in my opinion, certainly if you're on your own a lot of the time!
My point here is ride whatever the hell you want but don't cram it down other people's throats, or try to make out you're better than them ( 24 elitists anyone?! ). I've certianly felt spoken down to by some people on the forum just because I don't link massive lines or can't manual for shit...it really doesn't matter!
