MadManMike Posted August 12, 2008 Report Share Posted August 12, 2008 I think the whole "TGS Sucks" thing comes from 34,098 videos uploaded each week with "Same shit, different rider" content.That's why I'm so anti TGS anyway... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Luke Rainbird Posted August 12, 2008 Report Share Posted August 12, 2008 As far as I'm concerned, the riding doesn't 100% define a 'TGS Rider', the rider as an individual and their attitude has a fair part to play tooWhen I say "individual", I more or less mean "sheep" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Greetings Posted August 12, 2008 Report Share Posted August 12, 2008 I think the whole "TGS Sucks" thing comes from 34,098 videos uploaded each week with "Same shit, different rider" content.That's why I'm so anti TGS anyway...I think that's the reason. Anyway, each of their own. If you want to ride TGS and enjoy it, there's nothing wrong with that. At the end of the day you're enjoying riding as much as those who choose to be a bit more ambitious - and that's really all that matters in trials.

Mark W Posted August 12, 2008 Report Share Posted August 12, 2008 The sidehop is probably one of the most original and unique moves we have in trials, you start static (from two wheels or rear wheel) it can be done or varied terrain/inclines, and you land static.what other kind of bike riding style can boast a move as original as that?Other disciplines have fairly similar moves, but no-one bothers to do them from static to static largely because there's no point. Other disciplines use a sidehop as a means to an end, not the end itself (e.g. Grinding/ledge rides in BMX. Riding along, hopping up onto a parallel-ish rail/ledge).

Revolver Posted August 12, 2008 Report Share Posted August 12, 2008 IMO, TGS are fundamental skills to trials, but what makes you a good rider is how you use them, and how you link them together.Exciting vids are ones where you watch the rider get up on something and then they do a line that makes you think, wtf, i'd never of thought to do that, or, that takes some skill!

Mark W Posted August 12, 2008 Report Share Posted August 12, 2008 To be honest, I don't think it's even that. A big sidehop is cool, whether you do some random shit with it to make it a 'line' or not. It's just that when you get videos that are purely sidehops (With the same sidehop from about 3 angles - Hint, TGS dudes, you don't need to do that bloody "Sit the camera on top of the wall to show the tuck" angle on every f**king sidehop you do. Well, any, to be fair) that it gets shitty, and when you're on rides and getting held back from going to another spot while everyone queues to on-off sidehop the same wall. THAT is when it gets shit.Like you said though, upping and gapping are the fundamentals of trials, it's just that some people seem to not really be able to get their heads around the fact that they're the fundamentals, and they lead to other shit - they aren't all that trials is.
