Alex Dark Posted February 11, 2011 Report Share Posted February 11, 2011 It's a fair statement though. He's going on about bmx being cool and that, so go and ride bmx if you're just gonna look down on trials cause it's not 'fast' or 'high' enough. This is a stupid topic, and this argument will never have a correct answer. If you like tgs you shouldn't have to explain why to spinny idiots. And if you like street you shouldn't have to explain why to all the tgs-y sidehop fags. It really is that simple. Definitely agree.... ride whatever you want and don't be overly critical of other people's choices. Hey! Simple minded man - why don'ts you think for a friggin' minute. I likes the bmx style so i trys to encorporate it in my trials riding. Riding lines with momentum, not doing much static work, trying to keep flow - use that influence from the bmx boys but then mix it with the fundamentals of trials. Best of both worlds is the way i see's it. I ain't lookin' down on trials - i just don't like these friggin' wise guys who only sidehops every god damn thing. P.S. you little muthfukka...i never said BMX was cool so dont be putting words in my mouth. However i do's agree that it often ain't fast enough. Just watching the likes of Ali C, Danny Macacac or Chris Akrigg shows you just how beautiful it can be when ridden like a champ. Why are they wise guys because they sidehop everything?! Jealousy there.... repressed TGS fag inside of you Matthew? What happened to riding for the friends and laugh of it?? Thats the style i ride, i dont need to go big or fluid just as long as i have fun Isnt that the whole point?? It IS the whole point of riding....I certainly wouldn't be riding now if it weren't for the people. I'm sorry but it's not 1999 now. Things have changed. NO it isn't, but that's a good thing. People can see beyond one style of riding. Trials has progressed and evolved in a good way in my opinion.....people always look back and say " so much better in my day" ...maybe this was true, but most of the time its people not understanding what riding's about today. STILL having fun.... STILL riding in an oldskool way if you want to STILL riding fluid if you want to. BUT going big, pushing limits and combining the oldskool with the new. IT IS YOUR CHOICE, if you don't subscribe to a certain style of riding, then don't do it! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Matthew62 Posted February 11, 2011 Report Share Posted February 11, 2011 I guess my completely nonchalant tone didn't translate well. I honestly couldn't care what people ride - was just having a bit 'o' fun. It's bikes god damn it - they're all bloody beautiful things, and when on them you get a sense of freedom and escapism and that's a beautiful thing. Tis why i loves em so bloody much. Come on Jason you mutha - let it all bloody well out. You called me a hipster yesterday, let's make Friday a faggy day! P.S. "Wise guys" was meant to be interpreted as if it was said in a New York accent....i thought you would have got that! Duh! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JD™ Posted February 11, 2011 Report Share Posted February 11, 2011 (edited) I tried to Google a funny animation for ejaculate hitting my post, but searching for 'cumshot gif' just meant I wasted a good 30 seconds wanking (yea, long enough to finish twice) and not getting what I was looking for. So just imagine that it was really funny. EDIT: The imaginary gif, not the wanking. Edited February 11, 2011 by JD™ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

isitafox Posted February 17, 2011 Report Share Posted February 17, 2011 TGS can still be part of pure trials, last round of british champs last year at Shipley is a good example. One section on a banking had the elite route going up an obscenely high and very steep angled rock with no run up, the only solution was to sidehop. And to be honest I don't even know if all the elite riders that day attempted to get up as it was MASSIVE! Another section on the top had a large climb onto a rock, think I remember watching one of the elite guys attempt it a whole different way to everyone else and gap across (which was also massive). Comes in handy everywhere, it ain't just a street thing. Pic of said rock above, not easy in the slightest! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Revolver Posted February 17, 2011 Report Share Posted February 17, 2011 Perfect example of where a strato-dab would help you out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
isitafox Posted February 17, 2011 Report Share Posted February 17, 2011 And what you can't tell from the pic is the rock actually sloped under so if the rider didn't make it above the lip then they weren't going up it! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ali C Posted February 17, 2011 Report Share Posted February 17, 2011 Pic of said rock above, not easy in the slightest! I used to gap off the rock to the far left to the lumpy bit where the rear wheel is. Either that or gap to 90 through the gates, I very much doubt I would have sidehopped it.

isitafox Posted February 17, 2011 Report Share Posted February 17, 2011 Think a few people looked at that but couldnt get to it due to the layout of the section an the time allowed Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
