ForrestDump Posted May 12, 2011 Report Share Posted May 12, 2011 (edited) A friend of mine sent me this video and I was amazed, although it's not trials related I thought I would share it with you all. I know the brakeless scene is rapidly growing however I had never seen chainless riding. I'm not sure if it’s a re-post so sorry if it is. This is a very inspiring story of the rider too. I hope you enjoy this as much as I did. Edited May 12, 2011 by ForrestDump 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bikeperson45 Posted May 12, 2011 Report Share Posted May 12, 2011 That was amazing, his bunnyhops are ridiculous, especially the backward ones Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TrialsIsHard Posted May 12, 2011 Report Share Posted May 12, 2011 I tried chainless riding on a camping holiday when my chain broke, fakies are the most fun in the world! Although the amount of times I smashed my knees on the stem because I had forgotten there was no chain on probably makes it less worth doing Very inspiring video as well liked it!

ForrestDump Posted May 12, 2011 Author Report Share Posted May 12, 2011 I was amazed at how much speed he managed to pick up from just pushing and pumping, even on the short run ups. I loved his reverts from fakies too; his front wheel just glides across the floor, just looked so smooth, he definitely has a unique riding style.

Rusevelt Posted May 12, 2011 Report Share Posted May 12, 2011 Sickest piece of bmx skill to date. Didn't TRA do a chainless sidehop in one of his old videos? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

J.KYDD Posted May 12, 2011 Report Share Posted May 12, 2011 Sick BMX rider from Taunton rode brakeless and chainless for a while. Managed to do tyre taps and all! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
deilsonwheels Posted May 12, 2011 Report Share Posted May 12, 2011 The bit I love is that he did it because he broke his bike, couldn't afford to fix it, and kept on riding anyway. Amen. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Topsy Posted May 12, 2011 Report Share Posted May 12, 2011 (edited) Probably the smoothest riding if seen so far! Probably what the kids with their like-a-bikes will be doing soon Edited May 12, 2011 by Hopping_Topsy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jambo Posted May 12, 2011 Report Share Posted May 12, 2011 Bloody hipsters and there minimalist bikes! That is amazing how he can carry his speed like that Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JD™ Posted May 13, 2011 Report Share Posted May 13, 2011 Am I the only one who seems to remember chainless riding being a bit of a trials fad a long while ago? Like 5+ years ago, I'm sure a fair few people used to do it to work on their smoothness - I know I did. Proper fun Haven't watched the vid yet, but I'm about to and I'm impressed in advance.

Revolver Posted May 13, 2011 Report Share Posted May 13, 2011 Didn't TRA do a chainless sidehop in one of his old videos? He did a whole video where he shits all over anyone normal without a chain. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Adrian J Posted May 13, 2011 Report Share Posted May 13, 2011 Cool video, nice to see something different and he's an awesome rider. Surely now he has a bit of money he should get a free coaster though? Even if only to get him around Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eskimo Posted May 13, 2011 Report Share Posted May 13, 2011 Love his style. Can't help but think this is rather old which is why i like his style more. Thanks for that Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eddbmxdude Posted May 13, 2011 Report Share Posted May 13, 2011 Sweet video! I rode chainless for a couple of weeks when I snapped my chain once, was good fun. Flatlander Lee Musselwhite rides chainless too, nutter! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't suppose you know what it was called or have a link to it? I would definitely like to see some chainless trials. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ForrestDump Posted May 13, 2011 Author Report Share Posted May 13, 2011 Oh my gosh! I don't see how most of the stuff he did in that vid would be possible without a chain. Crazy I tell you!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
