Every single person on this forum should have to watch both Evolve and contact from start to finish before singing up. If you don't know what they are, then order or stream them.
Its 2011 and people are still arguing over what pure trials is and how good / gay this so called tap gap sidehop riding is, when that is the roots of trials riding itself, that is how you get up/ over objects.
What a pointless and very nieve way of looking at a form of riding which is different to any other in the world today. Allot of people on this forum seem very judgemental
towards subject matters that they seem to know nothing about, mainly because it does not suit their happy feelings in their brain.
Damon Watson I read your post and thought...mate you one the best street riders in the world? and your using a internet forum to clear up a point that people call you TGS.
YOU ride for YOURSELF and you kill it in every single video. Who cares if its not edited to a DVD released quality. Drop gaps are one of the things I loved doing and watching
nutters do when on rides. Your side hops deify gravity. Who cares what else you do, if that's what you like doing stick to it.
I understand this topic though as when riding 3+ years ago TGS was never even a fraise, and I can see how it can form confrontational topics and ideals.
If the days of having a laugh, watching people go huge on rides but then doing a 360 of a ledge on the way home, is not considered cool or trials any more, than I feel
very sad for you. trials was always about warmth to me, friendship inspiring each other and being involved in a sport that I felt at home with
and thank you every single person i have ridden with who are sound and keep this sport alive today, you know who you are.
Reading this through im not sure if i have got my point across as I need to go town and typed this fairly quick, but seriously kids
live your lives and be proud of your passions
p.s Forwards 2 anyone DVD this time?
Dan.
