Max Quinn Posted August 1, 2008 Report Share Posted August 1, 2008 i will never understand why people think filming single moves and making a video out of them is enjoyable to watch, and i'l never uinderstand how 3 moves are fun.although im not going to argue because ive got a headache, maybe later.....I'll never understand why people think your posts are fun to read in their spare time.

JT! Posted August 1, 2008 Report Share Posted August 1, 2008 Im not going to say TGS is shit, because its not when you think about it. TGS riders go so big its awesome. But Im not a "fan" because I like to think my bike is worth more than a couple of movements. Natural is good too for the same reason, its alot more challenging to yourself and when you make the line you feel much happier with yourself as you know its harder That's kinda what more people need to start thinking like, people arn't going to 'like' TGS, but you've got to respect what they do, becuase it is impressive! And at the end of the day it's still trials. It's not like they're going off to play water polo or cricket. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JT! Posted August 1, 2008 Report Share Posted August 1, 2008 To all the people that say they have a laugh riding TGS or just S, can you HONESTLY say to me that you go out for 3 hours, all you do is sidehops, and you come home saying "Yea, that was a good ride, I really enjoyed myself today". I dont think you do.They wouldn't do it otherwise. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mike Winton. Posted August 1, 2008 Report Share Posted August 1, 2008 Clearly you never visited the Trialskings forum in the days of old, or TF in its early days. Every other thread was an argument of street vs natural. I don't think anyone is trying to take anything away from the big TGS street riders. They do what they do, presumably because they like it, and are good at it. It's impressive to watch, even if it's not pure trials. They're taking things to extremes so they need to 'tuck' to get that extra inch and harsh riding is something that inevitably happens when you go so big. The annoying people are the ones who just follow the TGS trends of drop gapping, tucking, and riding harshly when they're not going particularly big. And then come on here saying how great TGS is, and how old-school street riding is stupid. You know who you are. Although you probably didn't bother to read this far into my post. Ultimately, I don't really care. If you enjoy something, carry on.Thats it in one post to be honest... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sam Ward Posted August 2, 2008 Report Share Posted August 2, 2008 To all the people that say they have a laugh riding TGS or just S, can you HONESTLY say to me that you go out for 3 hours, all you do is sidehops, and you come home saying "Yea, that was a good ride, I really enjoyed myself today". I dont think you do.surely if they really hated it as much as you insist they must why woudl they go out and do it every day. what if all these tgs riders turned to you and said eeuughh you cant seriously enjoy riding like that can you. i can imagine youd get all defensive about itWho cares, just ride however you want, if you dont like that style dont do it or dont watch the vid. Simple as.... squireword. people dont ride for other peoples satisfaction they do it for their own. if they want to whop out a tape measure and see how high they can get or improve as much as they can surely thats their perogotive. and as for videos of the tgs style if you dont like the style dont watch it, its their for the people that will enjoy and appreciate it not all the moany little bitches that who are gunna moan about it. me i dont like stock video's or natty video's so i dont watch them. and the video's i do watch i dont think oh well thats shit theres not enough lines or w/e i just watch and enjoy the tallent the people have and don't critisize what they enjoy doing Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cox. Posted August 2, 2008 Report Share Posted August 2, 2008 Me and my mates around newbury are always tgs'ing the streets and have some of the Best rides ever, Always have a laugh.People dont just go out and do sidehops all day, Thats why its called TGS. thing you've just made assumptions as to what they really do there. This topic is pointless, and so is it trying to tell people that tgs is shit or natural and streety style is shit because its personal prefrence. Stop trying to argue your points we're ALL going to have to face up that there are trials riders who ride tgs. Go out and do what you love doing, Riding. Wether it be natural, Street or Tgs. This bickering needs to stop because its these sorts of topics and arguments make the forum wank. And lets face it, us more experienced riders arent setting a good example for the younger riders or the new members. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Captain Scarlet Posted August 2, 2008 Report Share Posted August 2, 2008 Watching videos of what people classify "TGS" is what got me into trials in the first place."I'd love to be able to hop up a wall" (sidehop), "I'd love to wheelie up that railing" (tap), "I'd love to gap from one railing to another".Its the style of riding I find most impressive to watch (Natural videos are only good if they are short clips of the main footage, such as the gap and not all the prebouncing and whatnot before it).I love riding natural, and I love riding street, natural is good because I don't get stressed out and just ride, street is what pushes me and makes me a better rider.

Tomm Posted August 2, 2008 Report Share Posted August 2, 2008 Yeah but 'street' doesn't have to be about doing TGS. When you ride street there's loads of stuff you can do to make it more interesting. Ups to narrow walls, rails, sloping objects etc. All those TGS bummers ride boring street. They could amuse themselves for hours on a gradually sloping wall from 10" to 60", that's dull.

An argumentative twat.I thought the point of taps was to help you get up things that are too high to backwheel, so you don't need to tap 10", you don't need to start until what... 50"? I dunno...Yeah I do like to antagonise people, it's fun Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
