Nick Melson Posted May 17, 2010 Report Share Posted May 17, 2010 I liked it , minus the song and the gay edit in the middle. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Greetings 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. Sorry but I'm going to persevere. What wheel size would come as an advantage to his riding? 26"? Or maybe 20"? This 24" thing is getting beyond ridiculous, just like the people who are behind this whole stree-trials scene. It's socially correct to ride a mod or stock, but you can only ride a 24" "if it gives you an advantage"? f**king hell, it's just 2 inches!!

Ali C Posted May 17, 2010 Report Share Posted May 17, 2010 well I am not a fan of 24" at all, be it street or natural. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0zzy Posted May 17, 2010 Report Share Posted May 17, 2010 just because he aint a sheep and trys to ride HIS BIKE THE WAY HE WANTS TO...... makes someone a bad rider nowadays.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ali C Posted May 17, 2010 Report Share Posted May 17, 2010 I like his rolling style, where did I say he is a bad rider? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Riley1 Posted May 17, 2010 Report Share Posted May 17, 2010 (edited) Personally I think this is all a bit ridiculous, the riding looks pretty damn good to me and if the guy wants to ride a 24" then let him. If I rode 24" and put a lot of time and effort in to making a video and then people were slating me for riding a bike that I feel comfortable on (regardless or size) then I'd be pretty upset and it's posts like these that put me off bothering to post a video of my own riding on here. He looks like he's in proportion with the bike anyhow. Edited May 17, 2010 by Riley1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ali C Posted May 17, 2010 Report Share Posted May 17, 2010 you guys are taking some pretty small comments where we did not diss his riding and changing them completely. he is a good rider, thats obvious no matter what wheel size he's on, I purley thought that that bike had not as many advantages as 26". He gets on with it though and that's fair enough, stop making a mountain out of a molehill. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Greetings Posted May 17, 2010 Report Share Posted May 17, 2010 I just think it's about time 24" bikes started being treated like normal bikes, not something you use for a specific purpose. This "purpose" is some kind of preconcieved notion which has little bearing on reality. It's all getting a bit ridiculous - 20" is for bunnyhops, 24" for spins and 26" for taps. You see somebody doing the wrong moves on the wrong bike and instantly the answer is "get a (insert wheel size / BMX here)". Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vasil Posted May 18, 2010 Report Share Posted May 18, 2010 (edited) not saying he shouldn't ride that bike, I just don't see any advantages. In this case the advantage is that he is a short guy and a 26" would be huge for him. But for his style a mod would fit well. Even the 24" looks big for him. Beside that, there are some good lines in there. Edited May 18, 2010 by Vasil Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Davetrials Posted May 18, 2010 Author Report Share Posted May 18, 2010 He doesnt seem to be doing to badly on the 24 rowan... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Greetings Posted May 18, 2010 Report Share Posted May 18, 2010 Yeah, he was an absolute monster on 26", a lot worse on a mod though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
manuel Posted May 19, 2010 Report Share Posted May 19, 2010 He doesnt seem to be doing to badly on the 24 rowan... Yeah I know, the video shows that you can ride pure trials to a decent standard on that bike I guess, but he is soo much better on a 26" that if he is only doing pure trials on that bike then I kinda dont see the point. Still a great rider, and a good vid. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
