But you have never rode a demo right ? Thinking about it yea I do put 100% effort in to do the side hop comp part, 0ther wise there's no way I'm going to clear 120 cms!!

Did you enjoy the comp or did you hate because you found it difficult? Any one who actually knows me will be able to tell you that I am indeed helpful when it comes to improving the sport of trials! I happily give up some of my free time to help out younger riders Does it matter how old I am ? So you think I'm a dick because I have an opinion! Nice...

Any maybe you should consider taking your face out of Ali c's bum!! How's that Matt ?

Well I never said that Ali didn't enjoy ridding, don't think he would do it unless! There is a slight difference between club and world level of course they will take it seriously, and they must also enjoy it, not as if they get big £ for winning!! Look at kenny has to ride demos most of the year when at times he can't go to a comp, he's gotta pay the bills!! Yes I like the feeling when you impress some one! Just tell her all about bike trials and the different styles/types and I'm sure she will get it! But as she as no knowledge of the sport she might not see a difference

Yea he would be a good choice but I think with all his demos and other commitments would he have the time? How are you gona get it filmed? Are the riders ment to film there self or get some one to film or are you personally going to film ?

Mark that just shows how good he is! The section was probly way to easy for him, but that's not his fault. But I bet they didnt say we can take some point off for style... Just the same as Gilles coustiller hooking a 7 foot log like it was a bump on the floor when no one else could get near it!! Just shows that Ali now uses the style he rider to good measure to entertain people and make people say whoo that was kool!! And Gilles just rides the way he does to win comps, mostly for enjoyment I guess

Let's get it straight, I simply asked what type of rider they guy was looking to film! Be it a rider who competes or a rider who rides street!! Maybe using the words real trials rider wasn't a good idea! Bad choice of words!! No where have I said I'm good at ridding a bike!! No where have I said that Ali c is shit, I think I said he's very talented, which he is! Yes I did say 100% dosnt go into demo ridding, as perfectly described by nick! Butvyes Ali I can see your point, maybe you get a buzz from the crowd and it pushed to do some more scary things! But you would have practiced before and be confident you can make it! As for me being narrow minded, I don't think I am! Maybe the fact that I have an opinion which differs from most of you on here ad you call me retarded now that seems narrow minded! As for demos. Yea I ride them not for money really, yes it's nice to get paid! But I have a decent job as an engineer so I get paid Plenty. Just because I enjoy them!! I also ride mtb and road bike for enjoyment and often fit myself track standing at the traffic lights while the other unclip! they call that trials!! Just boils down to how you look at it

Doesn't matter who can get up the biggest stuff or jump the biggest or what ever in practice but if you cant do it when the pressures on or when it's raining or when you have rode half a section it dosnt matter, even if you did get up a house on the 100th take of your video. That doesn't make you the beast!!!

No I don't normally! People who compete and win at the highest level are the best because they have just proved it! That's pretty obvious isn't it!

Maybe we should get a list of names instead of bitching then Ll start Ali c Ben savage Ben slinger Jack meek Damon Watson

But he competes in the other 50% After all he's got to make a living and fund the travel, so can u suggest and other riders of the level ( most excellent)?

Totally agree Ali, no point winning by cheating or hopping others will give up, like you said were fun for you! I ride for fun nothing more! But when did I even mention any thing about my ridding ?? I don't thing I'm some awaome rider! I just ride for a bit of fun! I'm just trying to make my point after all the topic say the most exellent riders! Not most popular!! And to te post about comming acros a willy, well o don't live my life on the Internet so it dosnt concern me!!

Off topic- Ben Slinger ?

Don't you mean you left the comps because you weren't good enough to win? You'll be wanting to fight me next just because I have a different opinion to you

Humm you must have practiced a backflip before? Oh well I Better go and practice my backflips and stoppys

Yes Adam now we are getting some where! So why not a mix of how different styles of riders go about things! So if I'm narrow minded what does trials mean ? As in where does the definition of the word trials end?

So how can you push your limits while doing a demo at the risk of crashing and making a fool of yourself? Does spending all day on TRIALS foum make you a TRIALS rider ?

Ali I really don't think I'm a real trials rider, I do how never think people like Ben Savage is as I said before And as for demo ridding no I don't think you put 100 percent of effort in! The object of trials is getting over/up/ down an obstacle or section without putting your foot down ?? Please tell me I'm wrong! No points for style! Or one handers, or rolling down it backwards on ur front wheel Yes mark I agree but no point cheating your self?? Oh course some one who riders like Ali is very talented no taking that away from him!

Lol ok yea that's right! What ever you say! That's like saying a kid who kicks a ball against a wall is a real footbal player like of man u team! Comps are pretty much every week in the season ? I'd say you lot are narrow minded Any way pointless arguing about it

I'm just laughing at the reactions, I'm not narrow minded, I was expecting Ali to say performer/entertainer or some thing along those lines, after all that's what he does! Gets paid to entertain people !! I'd say Ben Savage if you wanted to capture the athlete/rider aspect of it all

What do you class your self as Ali ?

Mine was 1077 with trialtechs and 18 - 15 gearing

Bolts could be bottomed out in the holes ?

Are you interested in real trials riders or just people who ride street? When I say real trials I would say these are riders who compete in the sport!
