chimpanzyyyy Posted September 6, 2012 Report Share Posted September 6, 2012 yeah style wasn't breathtaking for sure but yeah, I was kind of missing vids with big guns,screamo music and failed sidehop over rails Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blake Posted September 6, 2012 Report Share Posted September 6, 2012 I'm sure there are things you don't like, perhaps you need to open your mind also? Bitching aside, it's just not my cup of tea, no biggy. Sorry, but I think as you're considered one of the best trials riders out there and a lot of people are inspired by your riding, I think you should try and give these style videos a bit more of a chance. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CalopS Posted September 6, 2012 Report Share Posted September 6, 2012 He's been riding for like 15+ years or something. Probably seen hundreds of videos just like this. Its ok for him not to like it. I'd rather he was honest and say he didn't like it and maybe Inspire the guy to ride a little different and make a more modern edit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ali C Posted September 6, 2012 Report Share Posted September 6, 2012 Sorry, but I think as you're considered one of the best trials riders out there and a lot of people are inspired by your riding, I think you should try and give these style videos a bit more of a chance. Why are you still trying to persuade me I should like something I don't, even saying it's almost my obligation to like it? I thought my last post covered it pretty well, I just didn't like this video. It's not the end of the world. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

clerictgm Posted September 6, 2012 Author Report Share Posted September 6, 2012 How do you think, if he would run a light bike (8 or less kg) heights and lengths would increase? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blake Posted September 6, 2012 Report Share Posted September 6, 2012 alright sorry. jeez. I reckon this guy would seriously f**k shit up with a light bike. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sam Nichols Posted September 6, 2012 Report Share Posted September 6, 2012 I actually thought 13kgs WAS a light bike. Shows what I know. He would probably be shite on a lighter bike anyway, all that mass and power with a harsh riding style = schhhhnap! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rupintart Posted September 8, 2012 Report Share Posted September 8, 2012 (edited) I only watched because I saw Flip liked it, I got about half way.....no thanks, no thanks. I thought the same thing. Guy is a monster on the bike. That said, I didn't like it. He just muscles everything and doesn't seem like there's much control there (i.e Damon, Neil, CLS, etc all have massive riding AND are smooth). Don't get me wrong, he's a beast, but eh...

SamKidney Posted September 8, 2012 Report Share Posted September 8, 2012 Great power, not the nicest style, but impressive non the less Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alistair14 Posted September 12, 2012 Report Share Posted September 12, 2012 Loved it Either way huge riding, style was alriiight ..but i guess that comes with even more practice! haha Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Carlperkins Posted September 12, 2012 Report Share Posted September 12, 2012 i thought it was alright. didnt have the sound on so didnt hear the apparent shit music. even though he's got a somewhat sketchy riding style.. he still gets it done. even if there are 200 out takes of him failing that he never put in.. and if someone (aka ali c) dont like it.. he dont like it. out of interest... what exactly do you mean by.. "he should give it a chance" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
