aener Posted December 2, 2007 Report Share Posted December 2, 2007 (edited) We went for a ride the other day - and here's what came from it.Nice and calm for once... No Pendulum here Boumsong's on an alright day - and I'm finding out just how hard it is to ride in my situation.If you didn't know - I've loped half my finger off. It's the right index - so there's no front-wheel stuff from me. It's also INCREDIBLY hard to do anything much...I hate to sound like I'm shit because of it - but it's not healed yet, so I can't even get a custom lever made, or grip the bars properly. Y'might not think it'd be that hard - but when it's forced on you, it's a different story.I can't stress enough - please don't think I'm saying "I've lost some of my braking finger. Take pity on me, and tell me how good I am for my situation."... I hate people like that. Music...Aphex Twin:-Bit4 (The noise in the background when the words are on screen)-Jynweythek-Hy a scullyas lyf a dhagrowLink - Flipp+Boumsong.wmv [6:20] 58.1MBThink it should work - never used tv.isg.si before. The videos bit on here wouldn't let me upload a .wmv, and YouTube won't let me upload atall There's a clip of my finger uncovered at the end, and it ain't too pretty.If you're squemish, stop it playing at 5:50.It's not that bad - but it's scabbed over and doesn't look too nice.Enjoy, and feedback is always appreciated Made in WMM.Flipp.P.S. Boumsong... When you laugh in the first clip - you sound like Santa How seasonal. Edited December 2, 2007 by Flipp Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I hate people like that.respect for even riding with your finger like that Thanks though nice and relaxed, how it should be good luck with sorting problems with front brak Agreed. Much easier on the mind when it's easy to watch/comprehend. Also - got Edd Potts (dave85) on the job, so should go swimmingly Thanks for your concern I liked that edit , something about the chinese music and the way you cut To be honest - I though most people wouldn't appriciate it, think me a weirdo for liking it.I love it Edited December 2, 2007 by Flipp Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
walker Posted December 2, 2007 Report Share Posted December 2, 2007 just a thought, u might have already tried it, have you tried using ur middle finger for braking? I tried it once when i injured my index finger and it seemed to work ok.Andrew Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aener Posted December 2, 2007 Author Report Share Posted December 2, 2007 Yeah - but I like to have a full grip on the bars.... So if I were to use my middle finger - the index finger gets crushed.As for gripping with just the last two - I'm used to having all four, or three and one on the brake. Continually riding with three, and holding the index out, is hard enough already Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alex-Mitchinson Posted December 2, 2007 Report Share Posted December 2, 2007 One of you really needs a haircut.Lad on the stock has got a lovely style.Editing and some of the camera angles were class. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thegoofeedude Posted December 2, 2007 Report Share Posted December 2, 2007 Loved this video. Great editing, filming, riding, good music. I loved hearing the sound from the camera as well as the music (really added a lot to it.) I loved the color of this video too, and the shots you got (ones of just the back tire, little shots like that, just great.) Just awesome all around.

tom jersey Posted December 2, 2007 Report Share Posted December 2, 2007 Nice videoSome nice gaps landed there The editing was pretty damn good Nice finger though fair play to you! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AdamR28 Posted December 2, 2007 Report Share Posted December 2, 2007 Yeah - but I like to have a full grip on the bars.... So if I were to use my middle finger - the index finger gets crushed.Might feel a bit weird, but if you have the brake set close to the rim you shouldn't... Or you could get a lever blade with a comfy back (Echo etc) it won't matter too much? I used to middle-finger-brake too and it was alright.Cool vid though chaps, t the start I was like 'I'm sure that's Bunny...' - there's a LOT more ramps in there now than there used to be!Nice one Ads Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can pick other people's up and ride them as if they were mine straight that way though 2) I could - but I fancy sounding like a pimp, and saying "I've got custom bike parts" to everyone 3) Aye.... I never went before they were there - still new to trials really, but I'm told you're right, and that they're relatively recent. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Greetings Posted December 3, 2007 Report Share Posted December 3, 2007 Lots of things about this vid I really liked. It was so chilled, music went well. Instead of the usual vids with which I'd get bored after 3 minutes, I just wanted this one to carry on because it was so relaxing. Stock rider seems really good too, kinda controlled and with quite a lot of power. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
