I hope to attend a couple of dates this year as well guys. Have you contacted the guys at the BAMCC to ask about locations such as Craiglash Quarry nr Banchory?

Vimeo?

I've just watched this for the 3rd time on the trot. What an AMAZING location. Your riding is brilliant, loved the casual bar spin thrown in there

that bridge rail ride was pretty tasty

Dan Laceys section is just silly. I agree that it would have been better had they brought out a physical DVD but seriously worth watching.

for those of you who are avoiding 'above below' because of Itunes, i'd definitely recommend not avoiding it....

Cool Story Bro..... Seriously though, that was actually a nice little insight, being a noob photographer. Obviously I understood there were flashes involved, but its nice to see the comparison between (almost) identical shots. Obviously you don't have the 'perfect' background scenario in, i'd guess, 70-80% of shots of Glasgow, so making Ali the centrepiece is most easily done with flashes, or in post? On that point actually, did you do much or anything at all with the computer? On your point about trials not being photogenic, if I had to put it down to one thing (obviously there are numerous reasons), I would put my money being on the fact that trials is very repetitive, how many sidehops (as an example) have you seen photos of with the massive tuck. It's impressive when someone is going huge but then its essentially the same photo and hard to make interesting / different while incorporating the feat being achieved. As you kind of insinuated, its always going to be easier with a rider who stands out from a crowd. Anyway, good effort on the photos. mighty impressed. Something Ali will be able to show people in the future and be proud of. Still want him to go out and get the big stuff he missed out on filmed though....

Really enjoyed this Mark, photos are excellent throughout. Something I really miss about trials is decent photographs of streety riders, maybe I am just looking in the wrong places, and I'd also imagine that the accessibility of HD video in the modern day almost supersedes photography. Interesting to read Ali's perception of his internal demons. In my opinion he has improved massively over the past couple of years, which can't be easy considering the standard of riding he already had (/end of brown nosing) Ali - I look forward to seeing all the 'banger' lines if this is what you think of as just 'tech'. I hope you get the lines you wanted on camera, because I definitely want to see them.

pretty sure that should be incorporated into Tarty's next forum banner advert...

Fabio = great rider, massive baws, didnt expect a few of the things in there, although there was a few things that I thought were a bit cheesy (probably because I can't do them). Fly-cam operator = terrible. Made me feel a bit sick, really needs to get control of that thing.

I will love it if JB beats Fernando, nicest guy on the grid in my humble opinion.

Ah fair enough. Good idea that Ali. might have to look into something similar

Ali - would you care to shed any light on the sizes / dimensions of this bashguard you've made for your BB? If not, thats cool. just thought I'd ask as I've put a bash on my cranks and its humongous / unsightly in comparison to the size of my chainring...

you should probably get back out and stop that idea from fizzling out miles!!! looks like it was set to be a great video....

big manly legs such as mine require an 22:15....

I have had major ankle problems for years and only just got to the point when i can ride without one. I used the aircast for a year or two and HIGHLY recommend it. Its pretty bulky compared to many, but is so stiff that you'll not be rolling your ankle anytime soon. I didn't pay £45 for mine though. although looking where i got mine from and its up to £45. Looks like Andy Murrays use of them has put the price up.

I AM NOT 40 MOTHER TRUCKER

ALEX DONNACHIE : NUFF SAID

i thought it was potts from nailsea trials who also had a two chain set-up on his trialsy.

Get a bloody video made Duncs! Really enjoyed that. Rotterdam looks like a blast to ride!
