i have no idea how trials tube works so if this goes horribly wrong i apologise.

i spent the day riding and filming, placing my camera on rocks, walls, benches the floor to try and capture some footage. i whacked it together in this vid, some interesting angles. i really like it, just a fun vid, please let me know what you think

Matt you are a true legend, some pretty cool moves there and the music didn't make my hearing aid blow up either.

You summ trials up for me and you will be bashing about when you are as old as me making people laugh, you never seem to be not enjoying it no matter how much blood you have lost.

I am pretty sure that is the only vid i have seen where some one is happy to show the gaffs and not try and make himself out to be some GOD umongst men.

If I had been there with you it would have ended in tears.

I would like you to put a video together for Robbie in the same style as that one.

Give me a call and we will pop over to Barlick and have a play.

Nice one pal.

thanks for the comments folks.

the bar and stem set up i use is a simtra re-sy-stem and mcspander (suuuuuuuper wide) bars, take a bit of gettin used to but they are white and amazingly nice to ride with.

this video pretty much sums up how trials is for me. i started the sport to avoid the competition that seems to exist in most maintstream sports. i just enjoy having a laugh with mates, pushing myself and just escaping the humdrum of life. i ride comps not to win, in fact the only trophy i would get is for the best crash of the event im sure! i ride them to meet like minded people have a laugh and just enjoy a day out in the rain (as per normal tyke trials) with my bike. so if you want to enter comps but dont feel you are good enough to win just join me and John Peacock on a light hearted trudge around the sections.

john i would be happy to showcase young robbie's talent, give me a bell and ill charge the camera up (i expect a cameo from you though), wait for the vid of me woody and ben in madrid some quality "gaffs" in that

keep the comments coming, cheers

IMO!

The start was pish, As in with that gay song and prancing about.

When the second song came on it was a tad slow to start but got dam good with some really good riding and some good lines going down and i got right into it.

Then the endy baily kinda bit was a tad boaring but yeah...

The middle bit was spot on (Y)

Ha, I saw this when you first posted it and forgot to post on it, sorry. Props to you for getting out and filming yourself - thats some dedication to the cause, however I was just waiting for the clip of you chasing the chav thats half inched your camera :D . But some great shots and riding, filming yourself really makes you think about the cameras positioning and forces you to nail the move quickly I would imagine.

And what is the world coming to, both you and Woody minus the GHz. I never thought I'd see the day that you both went for alloy. Looking forward to the Madrid video, woody said you had a great time ( lucky gits )

Nice one
