JackMeek Posted November 25, 2010 Report Share Posted November 25, 2010 (edited) Trib just sent this to my facebook. Love these reason to be edits. His riding is always better than the camera work. I still like his riding though. Edited November 25, 2010 by JackMeek Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Luke Rainbird Posted November 25, 2010 Report Share Posted November 25, 2010 Still love those Decades, though it was cool to see someone busting out the MEEK FLIP... Always a cool watch - looked cold though! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rusevelt Posted November 25, 2010 Report Share Posted November 25, 2010 Could barely see what was going on in some of those night clips. Love the fronthops-to-tailwhip-to-270 drop off line Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guy Guy Posted November 25, 2010 Report Share Posted November 25, 2010 that's an awesome video !!! great riding skills !!! i love it but it could have been better if you would have filmed it during daylight.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bikeperson45 Posted November 25, 2010 Report Share Posted November 25, 2010 When I first saw him I thought he was awesome, but now I'm getting bored of all the tailwhips. Would rather see that than sidehops though, high crankflip was cooleo Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ross McArthur Posted November 25, 2010 Report Share Posted November 25, 2010 He doesnt look like a trials rider to me. More like a dirt jumper thats trying Danny Mac style stuff. For example, he looked like a beginner trying to hop on the backwheel in a couple of the shots. Because of that I'll give him a 5. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CroTrials Posted November 25, 2010 Report Share Posted November 25, 2010 Everytime i watch his videos i get the same feeling, he has a ton of skill but something is missing.. And its fluidity and style. In some of the moves he just looks like he's strugling too much. For example that part at the begining when he drops after the backflip. I'm sure that he could have pulled that combo of with allot less recovering hops if he had practised it a bit more. It just looks wrong, like his going ahead of himself on some of those moves. And he tries to do dinamic combos but hes riding is mostly static, he needs to get some speed into those tricks. Maybe he should slow down with stacking new tricks and perfect the ones he has now, build a style of riding with more speed and fluidity.. Anyway, thats just my opinion Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ali C Posted November 26, 2010 Report Share Posted November 26, 2010 He has definitely got some skills! He makes forjam whips look easy (I have been trying them for a year and still cant do them) and as Rusevelt said, that up to front hops to tailwhip to 270 drop was cool. I also agree with other people about lacking flow. One reason why I like Macaskill's riding so much is that he hardly does any correction hops and is barley stood still for a moment. If this video was a bit faster paced and had fewer correction hops and maybe a little more thought into some of the lines I think he would be well up there with Danny.

Mark W Posted November 26, 2010 Report Share Posted November 26, 2010 Some pretty massive riding in that, but yeah, to me it looked like a trials rider checking off doing Danny's moves (e.g. the fakie manual to fakie hop down the stairs, like in Danny's London edit). The trials lines looked a lot more flowy and controlled than the 'streety' stuff, which is sort of unusual in that generally 'streety' stuff should flow more. It's like he 'gets' trials, but maybe not quite the same with riding street... Meh, still big stuff so it's all good. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PaRtZ Posted November 26, 2010 Report Share Posted November 26, 2010 mega kudos, but Danny mac is still Irn Bru! But yeah, awesome stuff in that video! Nice boomerand, Im still waiting for a decade to drop though from someone.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ali C Posted November 26, 2010 Report Share Posted November 26, 2010 decades are odd, they almost don't seem to fit in anywhere in lines (unless you do them mid jump). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JohnyMilton Posted November 27, 2010 Report Share Posted November 27, 2010 I thought that was okay, the boy has got some skill, but the editing was not to my liking(also not a great choice of music). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PaRtZ Posted November 28, 2010 Report Share Posted November 28, 2010 decades are odd, they almost don't seem to fit in anywhere in lines (unless you do them mid jump). we looked at this a while ago. With a flatland decade you end up facing 90degrees from your point of origin. So if you were on a wall, did a decade and kept it on the back wheel, you could then drop off Plan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
