Thanks to all the pedestrians with the feedback!!

As ghostrider said, it's amazing how much you can jump with so little preload!! Teach me the ways!

haha how can i teach that? ive never really had one, bike just wants to fall up the wall for me

As for this remark, there is one in the video!!! finding the actual sizable lines is a bit difficult, I mean most of the drivvel which is accepted these days is what i do on the way to the station with a bag on! look at Rowan Johns! whats happened to him? He was pissing all over todays riding standards way back when and he didnt need an inspired or lightweight nonsense. Since i had that like 2 or so years out just seems to me as though the riding level has dropped, like a silent acceptance amongst seated bad lads, plus everythings lighter now why isnt everyone trying to push to new levels? fairplay with having lines i have some ideas in mind but itll have to wait as i refuse to kneestrict myself with cankle height nonsense! Devolution in trials right there.

Hahaa, you know what, I liked the clips where you sidehopped onto the post and then gapped, and where you gapped those rails and then onto that big-ass block and then gapped, that was actually a cool clip.

If you do have some lines in mind I'll look forward to it. You're right in that massive lines do make good clips, just, single clips of a sidehop are a bit samey to me.

Anyway, keep doing your thing cause some people seem to like it.

Getting older and getting a house happened to Rowan. His riding actually seemed to step up a bit once he got his Hex, but he hasn't really had a chance to get much on film. Some of the stuff he was doing in/around the time we were filming for Clean 001 was f**king sweet.

The reason Rowan was riding was at such a high level (and still is better than most people) is because Rowan is really f**king good. That doesn't mean everyone else is by default shit, it just means they aren't as good as him. It's the same reason CLS hasn't put a video out in a long time but most people still don't get close to his riding nowadays. It's not because "standards have changed", it's because if it was easy to do riding like that we'd all be doing it.

It'd be cool to see someone going down the Nicky G/Rowan route again though. Some of the older riders out there seem to have a similar-ish style, but I suppose a lot of people who've started riding in the past few years won't necessarily have seen footage of them as they dropped off the radar a little while ago now.
