Davetrials Posted May 16, 2010 Report Share Posted May 16, 2010 (edited) This idiot barely pulls a single spin and doesn't abide by any of the mandatory rules of owning a 24" idiot. Don't bother watching this... http://v.youku.com/v_show/id_XMTczMzQzMTgw.html Edited May 16, 2010 by Davetrials Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
manuel Posted May 16, 2010 Report Share Posted May 16, 2010 I counted 1 bunnyhop... I just dont get in any way why he is on that bike ... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ali C Posted May 16, 2010 Report Share Posted May 16, 2010 I like his rolling style, but the video didn't blow me away. I agree with Rowan too. There didn't seem to be any riding that took advantage of the smaller wheels. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tony Harrison Posted May 16, 2010 Report Share Posted May 16, 2010 Ha ha, I'd say he's showing us exactly how not to ride 24" trials!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rafal Posted May 16, 2010 Report Share Posted May 16, 2010 26" urban fork ruins all geometry of this new toy. I'd rather watch him on the echo pure Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Davetrials Posted May 16, 2010 Author Report Share Posted May 16, 2010 (edited) Hes a tiny little man the 24" probly suited his riding style.

craigjames Posted May 16, 2010 Report Share Posted May 16, 2010 Meh, was OK, some bits were nice and smooth and some big moves, but might as well have been on a stock. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
STEVE-0 Posted May 16, 2010 Report Share Posted May 16, 2010 I thought that was pretty sweet to be honest, bar the music... Shows that you can ride smooth technical lines on 24" and he obviously enjoys riding it. Steve-o x Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lewis.jackson Posted May 16, 2010 Report Share Posted May 16, 2010 The bike looks too big for him and i think he should be on a 20" but i did like his riding style. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Greetings Posted May 16, 2010 Report Share Posted May 16, 2010 How do you make advantage of 24" wheels? By spinning more? I can't see 20" bikes being ridden differently to 26". A few years back when there was no 24" people rode street trials on a normal stock bike. But now there's this obsession with having to use a 24" the "right way". This isn't aimed at Davetrials, he's blatantly taking the piss too. As for the video it was great, grew up watching vids of Lee. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

People saying he may as well be on a stock are absolute tits. He's riding trials on a trials bike! Pisses me off that a good rider is underrated just because of his bike. People's preconceptions about 24" are just ridiculous Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ollie Histon Posted May 16, 2010 Report Share Posted May 16, 2010 I agree theres nothing wrong with doing that on a 24inch, but the only thing is his riding style of more pure trials would be greatly benefited on a bike with a more pure trials geo.

Guilherme Magno! Posted May 17, 2010 Report Share Posted May 17, 2010 (edited) I think it could be much better in a 26 "or 20" or even a 24" of (trials) not the street! i think the GEO 24" very bad for sidehop hops... and others things of TRIALS then if he riding in one bike whit a good GEO of trials.... would be much better! but anyway, I admire a lot ..!

foxinsocks Posted May 17, 2010 Report Share Posted May 17, 2010 Smooooooth. Though i must say- a Japanese rider with an annoying Spanish song in the background... i rather hear the brakes squealing. (And if he's actually Chinese/Korean and i just made a boob out of myself... bummer)Smooooooth.

Ali C Posted May 17, 2010 Report Share Posted May 17, 2010 not saying he shouldn't ride that bike, I just don't see any advantages. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Muel Posted May 17, 2010 Report Share Posted May 17, 2010 Personally I liked it, he's not conforming to this whole 24" scene thing where everyone seems to have to do spins and tricks all the time... Not saying it's really a bad thing, but to say things like "I'd say he's showing us exactly how not to ride 24" trials!!" is such a blinkered view if you ask me.

Flip-Mod Posted May 17, 2010 Report Share Posted May 17, 2010 He's making riding difficult for himself by using obscure geometry. He will be a better rider because of it. Reminds me of this brakeless fetish everyone seems to be gripped by, it doesnt make any sense and looks counterproductive. But when he gets back on his TGS bike he will appreciate the advantages of the geometry and use it more. We have all done something similar (be it 'retro' bikes, brakeless or 24") Either that or he has no imagination. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mark W Posted May 17, 2010 Report Share Posted May 17, 2010 He's got a weird style, but I kinda like it. Apart from the editing making me want to punch him in the face, and his bar and stem setup looking criminally wrong on that bike, it was cool.
