J.KYDD Posted January 10, 2011 Report Share Posted January 10, 2011 A pretty old vid now, but i think it definitely deserves a repost. As for the rider himself, after browsing his youtube channel it seems he no longer rides trials and has made the move to BMX Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

omgnoseat Posted January 10, 2011 Report Share Posted January 10, 2011 I remember him saying that he trained 6 hours a day and it wasn´t worth it. Seemed to me like he felt pushed to keep progressing in biketrials. Seems like he still rides once in a while outside of the comp scene, at least it seems as if he is enjoying himself here: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Crow Posted January 10, 2011 Report Share Posted January 10, 2011 he was pretty sad he didn't receive much support from his own country while he was riding comps against the big guns in europe the thing is he quit comps and hard trainings be keeps riding street and demo from what I heard so just riding for fun there's nothing bad about his attitude IMO... he just felt it wasn't worth training all year long like crazy... and I can't help having so much respect for a guy like him, how many riders in the world are that good at trials riding and at bmx riding? did u actually saw his bmx vids? the guy is a legend +1 It's amazing the talent that James has. It's impressive how good he was riding trials and how fast he got insane riding bmx, i'm glad to hear that he's still riding trials (and even better if he's doing it for fun).

Jon Alty Posted January 10, 2011 Report Share Posted January 10, 2011 I thought kyddie meant he had packed it in for good. Good to see hes still doing it, just for fun this time as opposed to win. By the looks of it he would suit the 24" street style very nicely. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jason222 Posted January 13, 2011 Report Share Posted January 13, 2011 (edited) 5'8" 140 lbs and could tap 58" to rear lmfao such a beast! Riding with him was INSANE! Now he's ridiculous on bmx, probably the most talented rider on the planet. Edited January 13, 2011 by Jason222 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
