eskimo Posted October 3, 2012 Report Share Posted October 3, 2012 Really like this guy's riding. Ain't going to appeal to allot of you, but he holds skill in many areas. Edit was pretty cool too. Maybe a bit too much Gopro or whatever it was for some. Can't say anything else as i gotta judge it. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

J.KYDD Posted October 3, 2012 Report Share Posted October 3, 2012 Naa, sorry but there becomes a time when its not even possible to even associate it with trials any more. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bikeperson45 Posted October 3, 2012 Report Share Posted October 3, 2012 Love his riding but the edit makes it harder for me to do so, think it could have been better with less GoPro and more tripod. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

banashapan Posted October 3, 2012 Report Share Posted October 3, 2012 That was awesome. Nice to see people mixing it up into style fusions with no limits. Ok it's a trials vid comp, but if it was all TGS I would have fallen asleep by the 3 vid... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChrisTrials2012 Posted October 3, 2012 Report Share Posted October 3, 2012 I can honestly say I saw not a lot of trials in that vid. It was mostly street DJ and BMX freestyle. I have no problem with street vids a la Sean Watson, because he moves like a trials rider and does trials to a good standard while mixing the streety moves that add a nice variety and flow. This guy's hopping looked awful, and I saw no other trials, which for a trials comp is not acceptable. He is good at what he does, just not good at trials. That's my opinion, and I stand by it. It won't be the most popular view but it's what I feel. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

However, i would like to say, i only listed the video here as i really liked it as a video and he is a very talented rider + i don't think he's a member here. The video will be judged by many competent people with different backgrounds and views. If you would further like to voice your opinion about the actual competition, i recommend you read the blog first. It may offer some understanding to why this rider chose to ride this way.

Filo Posted October 3, 2012 Report Share Posted October 3, 2012 This guys has some sick skill. Shows how versatile the inspireds really are. It's funny how some trials riders say he doesn't ride trials style enough, considering how many people brought inspired that cannot ride street style. This guys is doing what everyone else tries to do and rides the inspireds how they should be ridden This guys spreads on almost any style of riding,just need to work on his trials.

aener Posted October 3, 2012 Report Share Posted October 3, 2012 Too many GoPro shots for my taste, and didn't like the music, but this guy must be the second most versatile rider I've ever seen (with first place going to Akkers). Pretty awesome. Looks as if he spends quite a lot of time changing his peg arrangement, too Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ben Gosden Posted October 4, 2012 Report Share Posted October 4, 2012 interesting but it was more along the lines bmx and mtb id say. Looks like you have some decent spots though!. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rusevelt Posted October 4, 2012 Report Share Posted October 4, 2012 Entertaining watch but i persoanally wouldn't consider it a GET Creative entry simply because he is just switching between different forms of bicycle stunt riding and not really incorporating something unique to his own in one form of riding which is bike trials.

Tony was a pro BMX rider for 20 years. I'm pretty sure he knows what he can and can't do on a BMX, and what he can and does want to do on his Inspired (which seems to be pretty much every type of riding). 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Apart from when he's riding trials and more MTB sort of stuff. He can do all of it on his Inspired, he's having fun doing it, I don't really get where "u shud get a bmx" fits into that particular scenario.
