ecols Posted July 27, 2009 Report Share Posted July 27, 2009 Most of the german riders think Danny is a really nice guy, as he kinda laughs at the loads of media people swarming around him.One of the german riders documented that at the Bike Expo.

Sam Nichols Posted July 28, 2009 Report Share Posted July 28, 2009 its really pissed me off that the only way we can get trials to take of in the world is through bmx :@The way your post reads it's almost as though you feel a part of the trials community when the reality is that you (and a few others) seem to take great pleasure in pissing off as many of the dedicated riders as you can, the fact that you even pretend to care about the future of trials pisses me off. If the majority of trials riders were more like you then our sport would be going nowhere fast. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oli P Posted July 28, 2009 Report Share Posted July 28, 2009 Unfortunately in the UK at least I think that seems to be more and more the case... sad but true.+1There just is not enough younger people starting trials and staying with it for more than a month before they give up and then a couple of months later they watch a trials video and start again and it happens over and over so they never get anywhere. The problem that we have is that the younger generations seem to expect things to happen then and there and do not have any patients so when they find that trials is harder than it looks they give up.Dont get me wrong there are still lots of people out there starting trials and staying with it but just not as many as there was.

But I'll just comment on "kids like crazy things like jumping of high dangerous things, far and fast, and nuts stuff.... but when someone brings out a video like that all you lot do is moan..... so nobody brings them videos out anymore". Yes kids like cool dangerous stuff, far and fast. I'm guessing the videos you're talking about are all the TGS videos that people like Ben Lazenby and Mat Smith keep bringing out which lets face it are none of the above. They also wear jeans which are far closer to the 'latex' stuff you're talking about than any normal trials rider has been seen in in the past 10 years. I don't imagine kids giving two shits about someone sidehopping from static up various sized walls and rails... So yes, when those guys bring out a sidehop video expect abuse because it's dull, boring and less like trials than Danny Mac. If no one brings out those vids anymore the world would be a better place. The video you describe- far, fast and nuts is exactly what Danny's doing on a bike and instead of everyone just saying 'that's not trials', maybe more people should be thinking about taking inspiration from his riding and going out to try more fun, flowy stuff and trying new stuff rather than just finding a wall that's 1/2" higher than the last one so everyone can try almost making the sidehop to it.And if you weren't meaning Lazenby and Smithesque vids sorry, but the point still stands just not aimed at you .

Sam Nichols Posted July 29, 2009 Report Share Posted July 29, 2009 The irony of it all is that Danny Mac can ride 'proper trials' (if there is such a thing) better than most of the people who talk whack about his style. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If your talking about them going to BMX then they get a bike and go down a local skatepark and start doing jumps higher than they could do if they spent the time it takes to do the larger stuff on a trials bike that they would get the same sort of adrenaline rush from.You are right the younger generation would like to see the massive videos that have been made in the past but as these guys have decided to stop, there are almost no people coming up and doing massive stuff because they learnt to rely on those videos to keep them going. Danny has gone against this and has come up with unique style of mixing trials with some move taken from other bicycle sports and has become massively successful and he has done it with out watching a video of some one else doing because there has not been any.
