Mark W Posted August 4, 2010 Report Share Posted August 4, 2010 That's just the warm-up rig for the comp too, so it's not like he's gone out to find an Xcm high wall to do it on. He also holds it, too Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nickdonboy Posted August 4, 2010 Report Share Posted August 4, 2010 Why the f**k not. I reckon damon is so much better than gilles, yeah gilles does 145cm/57in hops but damon in one of his videos does 64inch / 162cm 2:45 LMAO, you f**king mong.

Cahill Trials Kid Posted August 4, 2010 Report Share Posted August 4, 2010 Obviously its big and none of us mere mortals could get that good... But Damon does bigger, with a much heavier bike, including a fat and heavy rear tyre, and all in casual clothes? Probaly because the main thing Damon does when hes out riding is sidehop after sidehop, I bet Gilles doesnt actualy practise sidehops that much Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Davetrials Posted August 4, 2010 Report Share Posted August 4, 2010 I cant belive im reading a damon v gilles argument, have any of you any idea what sort of genre of riding each rider partakes in? 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
joakin Posted August 5, 2010 Report Share Posted August 5, 2010 mentaly big ! respect for that but tra has done a 157cm hehe Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
duncshaw Posted August 5, 2010 Report Share Posted August 5, 2010 Regardless of what "genre" of riding they do....Damon is not a patch on Gilles..Don't get me wrong Damon is amazing at what he does (some big sidehops, ups and gaps) but gilles has it all and if he wanted to with a couple of months practice could do everything damon is doing and more!

Matt Burrows Posted August 5, 2010 Report Share Posted August 5, 2010 Lol I had no desire to start an arguement, I have nothing but respect for Gilles and I am fully aware of his capabilities. I was mearly trying to say I think its a pretty pointless video and topic as its not what Gilles is about at all I'm with ben on this but gilles street vids are so lame in comparaison to damon s Have you seen this then?

chimpanzyyyy Posted August 5, 2010 Report Share Posted August 5, 2010 Have you seen this then? yeah and as I say there's nothing more gay than a gilles vs damon thread but...the fact he is an amazing rider and rides street doesn't make him good at street riding my opinion is street is about style, creativity and crazyness gilles is more about perfect control and that's it it's just my opinion but he isn't a great street rider unlike a lot of other riders which are way under his trial skills I upload this clip on the internet because: 1: it's a massive side hop...impossible to nail by 99% of the riders on this planet 2: he made it piss easy which means he can probably go bigger 3: unlike tra or damon he isn't a ''side hop contest kind of guy''... I though it was interesting to see how big he can go on a simple warm up session so much to say about a few second of riding Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ben John-Hynes Posted August 5, 2010 Report Share Posted August 5, 2010 Why the f**k not. You're such an idiot that I can't even begin to process that...

chimpanzyyyy Posted August 5, 2010 Report Share Posted August 5, 2010 that's better than damon and gilles together multiplied by 4 http://www.trials-forum.co.uk/index.php?showtopic=154867 end of the story You're such an idiot that I can't even begin to process that... made me laugh so hard Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Krisboats Posted August 6, 2010 Report Share Posted August 6, 2010 I wouldn't say that gilles can't ride street. That coustellier notts vid is still a good video and it's 6 years old! Impressive move though, especially given the apparent lack of effort. On a similar train of thought to the current argument though, i wonder how each rider would cope on the others bike? Ie damon on the koxx and vica versa. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Damon W Posted August 7, 2010 Report Share Posted August 7, 2010 TRA almost pulled 163cm 2 weeks ago.... His reartire was over, but he did not get the tire on the edge... ide love to see that, that would seriously impress me if it wasnt on a slanted rock or a grass bank, look forward to seeing that Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eiriktrials Posted August 7, 2010 Report Share Posted August 7, 2010 TRA almost pulled 163cm 2 weeks ago.... His reartire was over, but he did not get the tire on the edge... Are you shure Ole? I think it was 154cm or something.. It was a slanted wall, with slanted takeoff. So he jumped high enough, but got kicked out from the wall. We got video of it.

Dan Clark Posted August 7, 2010 Report Share Posted August 7, 2010 But TRA, Gilles or Damon can't do flairs off a tree, therefore Macaskill is better. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
