Another little blog update for you all to read Misconceptions

Definitely one of your best videos of the past couple of years TRA. big riding, many skills.

agreed!! superb video. the crouched style he has is a bit weird but really good

For those of you who do still read the blog from time to time.....I have just added another post up there Misconceptions

Joe, can you make your videos available to play on mobiles? I don't know how you do it YouTube, not really sure why it's not automatic really but....yea....sort it please )

I think my favourite line in that video was the roll up to 180 to tire tap off right at the start. Overall i loved the video, it was really good. Some bits i wasnt too sure about, however the balancing at the end was nice..."oh ill just scratch my nose" haha not quite as funny an accent as Hans....but close

Loved all the funny noises u make dude! Sweet video and über pleased for you getting on tb team! You deserve it man!!!

Loved the blog updates recently mark! Some good points in that last update....i was only trying to geta few extra views and that....can't believe you'd hate on me so much :-p Seriously though. I wanna go to Sam fest next time round. Any guy who lets fireworks off in his = legend. Sam and ballotelli should be pals...

Jammers for demos loon!! Can't be without them on a demo rig; Your dad got some sweet pics greg!! Hopefully pinch a few of them off his wall on FB at some point

What on earth do you call that accent you had at the start :-p. Sweet video dude. Glad to see you are still throwing down the tricks!!

Yea - I almost didnt use the song because the cobra advert started using the song. There have been a number of TV programs using it recently as well. Infuriating but nevermind. Nick - riding into people carriers wasnt intended but added to the ambiance... Cheers ross. It has taken far too long, but hopefully the next one will be around quicker.

yea one did appreciate this...ben likes dunkirk. ben must visit dunkirk avec mon vtt

Cheers for all the comments guys. Didn't expect that kind of reaction from anyone. Really appreciated. Sam - I laughed at your comment. If I am honest man, I will be back on brakeless as soon as possible, just depends on doing shows. On top of that I have a number of things I'd like to do that require me to at least have a back brake.

Does the lockring have opposite threads so that it won't loosen when riding? Also, is it possible to make a better lock ring removal tool than that small four pin design? I am pretty sure of people not being able to remove the freewheel because they have damaged the pin holes!

2012 - Project 1....Brakeless Video Comments Welcome Misconceptions Blog

I started 2012 with a desire to make a brakeless video again. The last time was short and sweet, however now I am a little more used to riding streety bikes I felt it was about the right time to try and come up with something. So here is my no-frills edit, just me, my inspired, and a camera. Thanks to Dave @ Inspired / Trialtech for the support since I switched to the inspired. Also wanted to put out a thanks to Tarty Bikes. While I am no longer a team rider, their support since I can remember has been greatly appreciated. I would NOT recommend any other shop for your trials needs. EDIT: I also forgot to thank everyone for filming, and putting up with endless frustration of not quite getting things how I wanted... I'd appreciate any comments / thoughts. Video linked here.... Misconceptions Blog

How do people have the time to polish frames!? not wanting to be offensive, and while I am sure a polished look would be nice, it is only going to get scratched up, which wont look so hot? each to their own I suppose. maybe I am just being grumpy today

I like the cleanzine updates.... they are nice

Sweet riding Neil - i couldnt get over the two post to rail lines you did. I watched the video about 5 times just to see them again. Oh that and your fall on the up to front....LOL. just need some gaffa tape now for the camera man's mouth haha.

Good video lad! Really impressed with that!!

My friend Got a cheap effect, wondering how one might go about adapting it for a saint 180mm brake! Would it require removal of the brace plate? I've not had a chance to properly look yet, but thought someone might be able to help

sounds like a trialskings video, but not sure which one for the life of me. stick that in youtube. you might just come up with it. I am at work atm so cant get on YT

10 years ago? I'd have been around those parts then!! Cal doesn't ring a bell though? Carl maybe? What bike did he ride?

amended that for you james.

sweet video dude. some decent lines in there! hope you get on ok with the ankle man. i have to keep mine strapped up through fear of twisting ankles, seeing your clip on FB made me cringe alot, so hope you get better soon.
