Ross McArthur Posted August 5, 2014 Report Share Posted August 5, 2014 This guy’s style was slightly better to watch in that he didn’t have many set up or correction hops/movements. He could work on his manuals though. The, "only being able to manual by leaning back and dragging the back brake", style looks bad imo. A real manual shouldn’t require a brake - only balance. As for the video - the Danny Mac tricks in an interesting location has been done to death. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dman Posted August 5, 2014 Report Share Posted August 5, 2014 Loved the location, some nice stuff but too many foot jam whips really, only jealous because I can't do them Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
crilin202 Posted August 5, 2014 Report Share Posted August 5, 2014 Nice and all that but a bit boring IMO. Too long and not much substance I think. Still good effort Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LEON Posted August 5, 2014 Report Share Posted August 5, 2014 Probably got the best front wheel tricks I've seen in any trials rider. Few too many whips but he's got the skills, and he's probably not even 20 yet... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PatJsy Posted August 5, 2014 Report Share Posted August 5, 2014 Still amazes me how the French turned about 3-4 tricks into an entire riding "type" You have a bike capable of turning just about any street set up into a playground yet you use it for what's basically 90% flatland tricks Good video but this cookie cutter sh*t needs to stop or the riding won't progress any further...

Mark W Posted August 5, 2014 Report Share Posted August 5, 2014 I don't know, they add another trick every now and again - after Ali C's Arcade promo video the 360 stoppie and double G-turn type thing seemed to enter their riding vocabulary Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PatJsy Posted August 5, 2014 Report Share Posted August 5, 2014 I can see a potential experiment here, Ali C if you read this - I will paypal you a tenner if you do a load of wheelies in your next video... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mark W Posted August 5, 2014 Report Share Posted August 5, 2014 I'm hoping to be doing some filming with Ali some time soon - I'll see if we can make that dream a reality. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dngr2self Posted August 5, 2014 Report Share Posted August 5, 2014 I liked it but it seems like it was padded out with a lot of foot jam tail whips. I wasn't too impressed when he carried his bike down the metal steps. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
waybe2014 Posted August 5, 2014 Report Share Posted August 5, 2014 I was thinking the very same thing about the steps but didn't want to criticise someone of a much better standard than me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IanJohnstone Posted August 5, 2014 Report Share Posted August 5, 2014 Edit felt really long. Guess the minute long intro didn't help with that Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ben Cox Posted August 7, 2014 Report Share Posted August 7, 2014 boring try hard cinimatics, not enough riding and a lot of arty angles for the sake of arty angles... Ben Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lewis.jackson Posted August 8, 2014 Report Share Posted August 8, 2014 Great vid, great style but just a bit slow for my liking. still would watch again Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Matt24. Posted August 8, 2014 Report Share Posted August 8, 2014 The guy clearly has capability on a bike, it is just a shame I feel he uses this to learn show boating rather than some more traditional trials moves to support turning show boating into something of more substance, 3-4 typical trials moves in there which were pretty weak in required capability- on a more positive note, it kept me occupied from work for a few minutes.....

LEON Posted August 8, 2014 Report Share Posted August 8, 2014 (edited) A big thing for me in videos is music, and this song is really bland, I think they tried going for the epic feel but only Danny's really pulled that off. They could easily trim that to 3min 30 and use an upbeat song, it'd make the exact same clips so much more fun to watch. No one needs a 90 second intro.

Matt24. Posted August 8, 2014 Report Share Posted August 8, 2014 You are right, it did feel a little quantity over quality for me with to much repetition, same move alternative back drop. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
