JoNnY__Mc Posted May 11, 2008 Author Report Share Posted May 11, 2008 Im really not a people person.least youve got danny.Nah I was only joking mate, you have an opinion and your entitled to it, this is a forum, if I didn't want your opinion I wouldn't have posted the video!Thanks for posting, you have certainly made me realise that something needs doing as my style is looking abit sketchy and untidy. In my opinion it has alot to do with the poor camera, bad angles and camera wobble! but i'm not one to make excuses for my riding incapability. Is there anything you can advise that I would help benefit my riding? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JoNnY__Mc Posted May 11, 2008 Author Report Share Posted May 11, 2008 Ride some natural to help with balance and control.I really dislike riding natural but I suppose it will help so cheers Would just like to respond to these quotes.to look at you setting up for stuff I'd think you've been riding trials for a year or so, looked really uncontrolled.What do you mean by that?? Are you on about the bit before I get on the backwheel, or the time while im on the backwheel preparing for the move. What should I be doing differently?learn how to tap.I have bin trying for a while, I have trouble with timing for this move even though I understand how it should be done.learn to backhop.What do you mean by this, do I not backhop enough or too much?? How should I do it differently??Advice is appreciated alot, but you have to understand that everyone has their own technique and style! Just because I don't ride a long bike with 60+ bb rise or a 24" with a seat doesn't mean I have no style, I don't try to copy anyone, I learn every move on my own and I have my own technique for everything, so if being different is having no style, then what is style nowerdays?? because just recently you either have to bum Damon Watson or ride like Danny Mac/Rowan Johns otherwise everyone wants to have a go at you!!

Krisboats Posted May 11, 2008 Report Share Posted May 11, 2008 He has no style.at all, im sick of all these f**king riders getting a bike and just basicly not learning how to ride.Dave, seriously, jonny's more than capable of riding. Okay, he's not quite got the control he used to have, but now he's had chance to reply he mentioned his body was battered from the gym and he struggled holding the bike up. Instead of just jumping to conclusions, maybe checking out previous videos would have been a better idea so you didn't come across so badly. is a video of jonny last year. Smaller riding and a lot more control on the back wheel, hardly just jumping on a bike and starting riding... jonny's had over three times the amount of bikes i've had and has probably put a lot more hours into riding too. It does sometimes seem like you pick faults with things on the forum just for the sake of it or to provoke an argument.I do agree with some points though jonny, you need someone better to film for you... get on ebay and get a new camera Riding was immense though i can't believe how far you can fly now. Also, is that a beer belly your growing dude? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pagie Posted May 11, 2008 Report Share Posted May 11, 2008 Right...Jonny you want solid truth as we speak on msn, the vid wasnt overly amazing? But still some BIG riding in there. You look a tad rushed whilst on the backwheel in some clips? Others are fine! You do have to take in context that you do have yet another crap cameraman whos shots are constantly on the piss! Im making sure on the leicester ride we get tripod out and get you some decent clips. Also so what if his style doesnt suit your liking? its the way he ride at the end of the day!& Davetrials... Define style? Jonny is OBV a TGS rider? so hes set for the basher lifestyle?Lovex Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

B.E.A.U Posted May 11, 2008 Report Share Posted May 11, 2008 (edited) Gome home Dave. EVERYONE has there own style, weather it be the most controlled style in the world, or the most sketchiest style in the world, it's there style, EVERYONE's is different, so technically, he has a style, you just don't happen to like it. End of.sketchy style = death as that isnt style. jonny that clip on that black frame looked liek adamant was mint this vid made me upset Edited May 11, 2008 by B.E.A.U Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ladd Posted May 11, 2008 Report Share Posted May 11, 2008 Dude that was sick, your vid is great, HUGE! Gaps Loved it, ignore all the twats leaving stupid comments Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JoNnY__Mc Posted May 11, 2008 Author Report Share Posted May 11, 2008 (edited) I have re-watched the vid, and I actually think calling me sketchy was abit harsh (for those who did) I think I have a bouncy style if anything, it's not like I cannot throw my bike around to where I want it to be, I can control it well I think. If I was only just making things and correction hopping like a bitch tryna keep stuff - then yeah thats sketchy!!!I really do think that the camera moves more than I do. I really can see where everyones coming from, but I think it's a mix of the camera and a camera wobble, camera wobble makes everything look all over the place and rushed, and the fact that it only plays like 3 frames a second means that everything looks sped up.jonny that clip on that black frame looked liek adamant was mint this vid made me upsetYeah that was on an adamant a2 long, was about 2 weeks or something after I come off my mod and went back to stock!!

Luke Rainbird Posted May 11, 2008 Report Share Posted May 11, 2008 Jonny - It was the camera quality and shots that let the video down to a certain extent, NOT the riding Ride for yourself, how you want to ride, and if you're having fun with it then it's all good as far as I can see!

Concussion Posted May 12, 2008 Report Share Posted May 12, 2008 Cool vid guys and massive gaps Jonny, great seeing people ride my home town. That slopped bank by the tunnel will be perfect for practising my crap sidehop technique without killing myself!I need to get up earlier though, made it in to town about 3ish, but couldn't find anyone except for parkour dudes by the museum.... next time guys, I need all the tips you can give me!
