Revolver Posted April 29, 2009 Report Share Posted April 29, 2009 "Another trick that has impressed his viewers is when he rides up a tree trunk and does a back flip, a trick known as a 100 per cent flare. "A flair isn't a backflip... and I've never heard them being called 100% flares.I think the closest thing to a flair is like a 180-backflip, or a 360-backflip-barrel roll. I can't figure it out, personally Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Revolver Posted April 29, 2009 Report Share Posted April 29, 2009 It looks so confusing to see, haha. You just see a blur, the guy spins and its hard to figure out exactly what's been done.I think I once saw on channel 4 a BMX competition, and this dude did a new trick no-one's done before. If I stretch my mind back, it looked like a flair over a fun-box. Like, a back-flip-barrel-roll-something. It was nuts. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was nuts.Flaire = Backflip with a 180 incorperated, mainly for ramp riders who want to be able to roll out without having to fakie. Barrel roll = spinning 360 with no backward moment, just round a compete circle sideways. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maladie Posted May 2, 2009 Report Share Posted May 2, 2009 I have been watching Danny Mac's riding for many months now, and I can't deny, he has amazing skill.But in that particularly video, am I correct in saying there are lots of tricks that he does which are not really related to trials?[Much to fast?] Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

br3n Posted May 3, 2009 Report Share Posted May 3, 2009 Simon showed me this on facebook and I was amazed, But when my aunt emailed it to me? (why the fook is my aunt watching this?) I decided to come on here for the (first time - probably in years) just to say this video is incredible. It makes me want to get a bike again, just to mess about.Absolute credit to the sport, I remember watching the trials kings back in the day and thinking how can it get better, then CLS & Tunni showed us what was possible and now this! Fantastic.br3n PS Hello everyone. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hdmackay Posted May 3, 2009 Report Share Posted May 3, 2009 I'm staying in Edinburgh right now and earlier on today I visited lots of the spots in that video and WOW! I've always thought it was amazing but when you actually see it in real life you appreciate it so much more. (I never knew it was possible to appreciate more than I already did!)Especially the very last thing he does in the video, where everyone runs over to see if he was alright. It was just amazng seeing that.Once again, such a good video! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
