froob Posted April 13, 2008 Report Share Posted April 13, 2008 Vincent Hermance is the best rider in the world No one can actually deny that because how can you say whos the best street rider? Comp riders are the only ones that you can rate in my opinion. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

froob Posted April 13, 2008 Report Share Posted April 13, 2008 They start from birth.Then they will work their way through their life and probably around the age of 6 will get a bike of some kind.Then probably around early teens they will pay an interest in bike trials and give it a go.Few years of getting good then they ride comps.Get good at comps.Keep improving/pushing themselves.Then eventually if they are committed enough they may possibly become an elite rider.Hope this helped you see how comp riders started their riding career.

Peperami Posted April 14, 2008 Report Share Posted April 14, 2008 Ha ha!To pick the best rider... different people like different things. I like watching either good tech comp riders, or smooth street riders (tgs stylee)Kenny belaey, hermance, coust brothers, tra, wes belaey, pisanka etc Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sonny Clarke Posted April 14, 2008 Report Share Posted April 14, 2008 Benito gets my vote especially because of his hair.... Oh and that Sonny Clarke kid Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

monkeyseemonkeydo Posted April 15, 2008 Report Share Posted April 15, 2008 British street: Danny Mac all the way although Rowan's also awesome to watch.British comp: Tough call. At the moment and because he's such a stupidly nice guy I'd say Andrei Burton although there are a good 10 riders who could take that spot (Ben Savage, Danny Butler, AliC, Stan Shaw to name a few).World street: To be honest I'd still probably say Danny Mac- the boy's just on another planet with his riding. Massive but very innovative.World comp: I personally prefer Kenny Belaey to the likes of Vincent/the Cousts but then they along with Benito Ros are absolute monsters.Having said that, Martyn can still hold his on today. Not bad for an old timer!! (Just joking if you read this Mart ). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sstein Posted April 15, 2008 Report Share Posted April 15, 2008 Chris Akrigg and Damon Watson. The two Martins still rank pretty high though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JT! Posted April 16, 2008 Report Share Posted April 16, 2008 I'd say the best rider out there today is Danny Mc. He just seems to be on a different league to everyone else. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
