bikeperson45 Posted June 30, 2014 Report Share Posted June 30, 2014 I really want to do endos right now. Really cool Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dngr2self Posted June 30, 2014 Report Share Posted June 30, 2014 He's good but come on. If thats what street trials is then every bmx rider I've seen can call themselves a trials rider. To me the likes of Flipp and Ali C are the epitome of street trials and this guy is nothing like them. I'm not saying he needs to be ad good as them but at least mix it up. I could go on the Little Wheels thread to see all of this and more. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Petras Posted July 1, 2014 Report Share Posted July 1, 2014 Not really street/trials riding. I will call it street MTB and BMX with brakes mix. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This guy rides street on a street trials rig really nicely. Yes, he does not do any TGS, but does he need to do? He is more streety in this video than trialsy, but probably it was a long journey for him and he did not wanted to find the real trialsy spots. Can we get over the street trials please?

So if I went for a ten mile road ride on my trials bike would it still be classed as trials? If I rode trials on a dh rig would it still be dh? I explained my opinion properly in my first post but if you're too stupid to understand then there's no point in continuing to try and explain.

Ross McArthur Posted July 1, 2014 Report Share Posted July 1, 2014 Cool. Liked that. Whats he riding? An Arcade? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pete.M Posted July 1, 2014 Report Share Posted July 1, 2014 Awesome. Mr dngr2self, relax, it's all just people doing cool stuff on bikes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dngr2self Posted July 1, 2014 Report Share Posted July 1, 2014 Awesome. Mr dngr2self, relax, it's all just people doing cool stuff on bikes. So re branding something substandard as something else all of a sudden makes it good? My original point was that I could go down the local skate park and see a bunch of young kids on bmx s do the same and more. All of a sudden because he's on a street bike its automatically street trials and nobody is allowed to say any different. Street trials can be really original and creative and versatile but from a lot of the videos that have been coming out lately it seems that a lot a lot of people are forgetting that.

I do understand what you try to say, that the style of the bike does not determine the style of the ride, but I think you are too much in the topic, especially in a young sport like street trials, that REALLY started to get a little bit popular around 2008, whereas other sports had decades to do the same. Wait 10 years, and you will be able to tell the proper street trials from the street. It is too early to argue about the names, especially about a sport that loads of people do Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It is too early to argue about the names, especially about a sport that loads of people do If you want to talk about 2008 then look at some the videos that were out then. The street scene seems to have gone backwards in my book. If this becomes street trials then the sport will die out because people will surely think "why spend all that money on an Inspired when I can get a bmx miles cheaper and do more stuff?" Moving a sport forward involves doing something different not just copying something else. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mark W Posted July 1, 2014 Report Share Posted July 1, 2014 Cool. Liked that. Whats he riding? An Arcade? Think it's made by Resistant Cycles. They're a French company I did a piece about on Clean a while back. It's possibly called the "El Deuce"... If you want to talk about 2008 then look at some the videos that were out then.

Moving a sport forward involves doing something different not just copying something else. There's a spectrum of how people ride. You get the people who are doing the purely BMX stuff on a 24, then you get the people who are pretty much purely doing trialsy stuff. In between them you'll have a bunch of people with different styles who incorporate different things. Some people are doing more BMX-orientated stuff but that doesn't mean everyone will be. I haven't watched this video yet but for the sake of argument say all it involves is BMX moves, you'll still have people like - say - Flipp who does more trialsy stuff that people might be influenced by as well. There's no one person who represents the whole thing. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JJ Leigh Posted July 1, 2014 Report Share Posted July 1, 2014 can we just say that wasnt trials, its was 24" street? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dngr2self Posted July 1, 2014 Report Share Posted July 1, 2014 can we just say that wasnt trials, its was 24" street? I'd call it park riding. And I do like it. A lot of what I've said doesn't really matter. I like the editing and the riding. This guy is clearly good. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
