you should know with all the dents in your boxx.... if you had a bike with tubes bent upwards you might have missed the stuff you SMASHED into
-
ok...maybe a tad OTT haha. there have been good videos before but this was excellent - a complete different level. Just my opinion. i havent read the full 16 pages, just kinda glanced along it, but i still think it deserves more. .

I dont know why i am even commenting as its all been said and nothing more really can be added. he is one dirty, dirty b*****d. Something that I feel has not really got the credit it deserves is the filming and editing the Sowerby has put into this video. Every part of it is sublime, everything seems to be the perfect angle, not one shot looks sh*t. something that NO other trials video has ever done. He deserves alot of kudos on this video. danny...your shite

I like it. love the subtler graphics, and have liked the limey three since its first conception. wouldnt mind me one of those although maybe without the kenda tires..
-
same problem here with them. lots of noise (which i hate) and not enough hold. although to some people they will say the standard of hold is pretty good. didnt improve with a fresh grind either.... croco browns in cnc backings on now.

Its people with opinions like yours that really grate on me, you have insinuated that I changed my style because I got a sponsor? Ill have you know that I was sponsored when I was a TGS basher, I rode for toxsin and i rode for adamant and I was a total basher then, a damon watson wannabe would be the best way to put it. I tried to be as go-big as CLS, tunni and damon. I actually only ride approximately 1 competition a year (fort william national) but I do ride alot of natural. Its the most fun you can have on a trials bike (in my opinion) as you can still ride TGS or you can ride with flair. I started to realise that I was bored of riding TGS and when i watched back my old videos I realised just how boring my riding (note: not style) was. I love trials more than most people, I love all aspects of trials and am actually one of few who find bmx quite boring. I decided i needed to spruce my riding up and have more fun when riding, I actually started to ride for myself and not for my sponsor and the last few videos i have made are the result of this. I have never said...."your not proper riders"....i have advised riders to attempt more than just sidehops, however i still appreciate how good some boys are on their bikes (the likes of swindlebum and others) they can go big, much bigger than I can, but i still find their videos a tad repetitive. I like to be enthralled by a video, not bored. I have a saying, that the scottish muckers and I all try and ride by. Anything you want filming you have to be able to get to from the ground. This actually brings about the whole 'lines' aspect of riding. Generally you will see this in most of my recent videos. However it is still TGS, just linked together. If i wanted to be part of the 'cool' gang (another thing your insinuating with your comment) i would ride 24 and be like danny mac. I WAS a TGS basher, but i decided it was not how I wanted to ride, i wanted to ride natural and streety lines it felt more like me. I will repeat this just one more time - I RIDE FOR ME, NOT FOR MY SPONSORS - and thats probably the reason i have the deals i do. To finish - dont go around using my name in vein like you are because your speaking utter bullshit. If you want to ride TGS then do so. If you wannabe riding bmx'y street then do so. If you want to not ride trials at all and ride road cycling naked...then do so. I wont judge you, so dont go around judging me like you are. cheers

i didnt listen to it with music as i guessed it would be some hardcore screamy cr*p. Which unless your damon or tunni (and even their videos get muted at my end because the music can be poop sometimes) the hardcore music just doesnt work. tone your music choice to meet with the standard of your riding. If your going to keep that choice of music because you like it, then when the music changes to hardcore film more clips and show four different gaps / drop gaps, watching the same gap four times is bad enough, but three of your views didnt show the size of the gap or drop. Your going to be a good rider, keep it up. Take note of any constructive criticism (which is what this post is) and your videos will improve alongside your riding. dont be offended by what i have said, just an opinion. Also it is personal experience because I used to be a TGS head, with shouty videos that were awful to watch however now....well watch the difference in my latest videos.
