1a2bcio8 Posted February 14, 2011 Report Share Posted February 14, 2011 Hello, Tried again to get some filming done of the lines that involve really pushing myself but, unsurprisingly, it all went wrong with problems of inaccesability, wet run ups to rails, etc. It's getting a bit frustrating. However, so the day didn't feel entirely wasted, in terms of filming, I sessioned a loading bay for an hour. It was good fun and I wish I could have done it for longer, as I was feeling creative, but it rained Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mark W Posted February 14, 2011 Report Share Posted February 14, 2011 I said it elsewhere, but that manual-wallride-360 line was really nice. Sucks you keep getting denied by fate every time you get the filming game on the go - your bike seems pretty dialled in now for the most part, and we're still climbing up out of winter so it's just a matter of time 'til things fall into place. Can't wait! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Can't wait! Cheers Mark. I just need to get the confidence up, like i used to have on the bmx, to hit the wall really fast so I ride it a bit more. Yeah it does suck but you're right, I think, and I was saying today to Rob, the chap who filmed, that I think when the weather gets better that filming will become easier. At the moment winter is like a weight on all efforts for a variety of reasons. Sods law though that the dry areas were all inaccessible today?!

Mark W Posted February 15, 2011 Report Share Posted February 15, 2011 Longer days and warmer temperatures generally help both rider and filmer quite a lot, so just consider the fact that in the least productive time of the year you've managed to put out 4-5 cool little edits (if not more?), so when the getting's good you should be pretty unstoppable 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
King C Posted February 15, 2011 Report Share Posted February 15, 2011 Really liked that Ben. Maybe when its warmer and if I bring my bike up, we can hit Bristol again some time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

G_! Posted February 15, 2011 Report Share Posted February 15, 2011 (edited) nice video Ben, your videos make me want to ride on 24" Edited February 15, 2011 by G_! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JD™ Posted February 15, 2011 Report Share Posted February 15, 2011 As usual Ben, a decent little mini video. I've never really been a fan of how wallrides look on completely vertical walls, but that's just me - I thought the 3 straight after it was cool. I think my favourite line was just bunny to manual round the edge of the bay, then spinning off the front wheel - very cool. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rusevelt Posted February 15, 2011 Report Share Posted February 15, 2011 (edited) Sweet lines there Ben , just don't show too much of your creative skills repertoire for the main feature video, though i'm pretty sure there is more from you to come.

Nick Manning Posted February 15, 2011 Report Share Posted February 15, 2011 That was a quality little vid. Loving the style you got on the 24 mate. Your riding reflects you so much Ben, chilled and laid back. Gonna have to come up to Bristol soon, see if we can get a video on. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gaz96 Posted February 15, 2011 Report Share Posted February 15, 2011 Ben I love your style and creativity! These mini edits are awesome, have you thought of making a longer edit one day? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1a2bcio8 Posted February 15, 2011 Author Report Share Posted February 15, 2011 Thanks for the comments. It'd be good to catch up with any of you that are up for getting down to Bristol wow!!! that is amazing style !!!! cool tricks ! for how long you've been riding ? On and off for around 9 years, I think. Sick as always! Definitely gonna have to dust off the camera next time i'm out and see if i'm brave enough to post up the outcomes Loved it! Do it, Matt. The camera, at least for me, helps against laziness of thought and action. It's good for your riding. I'd be well up for seeing it as well Ben I love your style and creativity! These mini edits are awesome, have you thought of making a longer edit one day? That's the plan only I've been struggling to do so with the timing of broken parts and the weather. Hopefully those problems are nearing their end though as spring approaches and my bike finally has the appropriate parts. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

1a2bcio8 Posted February 15, 2011 Author Report Share Posted February 15, 2011 YAWN my arse! Thatwasf**kinwikedlike The yawn was really with reference to my frustration about continually failing to get the specific lines that I want and only producing another one of these smaller vids. I've decided to either ignore or keep my perfectionism to myself from now on. So it has nowt to do with that You gonna make another effort at getting down to Bristol for a ride again?

bikeperson45 Posted February 16, 2011 Report Share Posted February 16, 2011 Loved that. One of the things I've always thought is that simple spots like that are the best to ride creatively, rather than a spot where it looks awesome but really you're quite limited in what you can do there. Anyways, lovely riding. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
N.Wood Posted February 16, 2011 Report Share Posted February 16, 2011 Awesome Ben, every line was pretty unexpected rather than the usual predictable shit, enjoyed it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
