Freestyle trial grenoble

[freestyl''air]

a small clip from Grenoble with Yo and Tom Triboulat

[Dman]

I liked some of the spin moves, I really need to work on mine.

[Ross McArthur]

Hmm, must up my front wheel bonk game.

No need to worry about my X ups though still.

[Joe Papasnap Maher]

I cringed the whole way through that.

[TrialsIsHard]

This could have been good if they actually focussed on their style, instead of 'crowd-pleasing' and throwing another footjam whip everywhere possible, it looks messy.

I don't know if it's Yohan or Thomas, but one is doing their 180's from rolling backwards unnecessarily high and it's probably ruined my entire day.

(probably)

Agree'd on the 180s point there.

There seems to be a want to actually cycle between ledges/moves of which there is no need.

Going fast doesn't mean flow.

Eurgh Everything just looks rushed or forced. All tricks and no style.

[dngr2self]

I liked it.

[pashleyfaithfull]

Needed more footjam tailwhips

[Aldred_85]

No doubt better riders than myself. Just didnt feel trials, or even street trials. Was street in my opinion. All they needed was some front suspension and no front brake. Oh, and a 1/4 pipe.

[Paperclip]

Fair play on some of those combos, I think they both have style they do chuck a lot into lines but for a video of them just out having fun it was pretty cool.

Not super trials'y but still a cool watch although most of the ozonys street riders all do the same thing.

[dngr2self]

I thought they were quite creative considering what they had to work with. When they make videos at various spots yet do the same thing at each one I think it's a bit of a waste.

[manuel]

Every time they put a new video up its disappointing for all the same reasons. Sigh...

[Rusevelt]

Fav line at 03:21-03:29 (would have been super sweet if Yohan pulled a double tailwhip before the 180 exit), but apart from that disappointing watch overall.

I can now sleep better.

[freestyl''air]

hello guys

I don't understand these comments. Our goal is to share some videos for fun.

this video was made in 2 hours time for fun.

We put them on the forum to share our passion.

Why the negative comments ....?

We love watching your videos. We love different styles,

I find it a shame.

I wish you a good evening

Yohan Triboulat

[Aldred_85]

Now i feel guilty. Sorry, ment no real disrespect. You're obviously very talented riders. I like your videos, this one just isn't a favouite.

Unfortunately, snobbery has always existed within the riding world. Some people arrogantly think they 'get' riding whilst others don't and this gives them the right to be unkind and unsupportive; basically dicks. Personally I can see that you guys are enjoying your riding and that, for me, counts the most.

That being said, my satisfaction in watching your chap's riding is reduced because you always look on the edge of control. When somebody looks in control, especially with ease, I get more pleasure from watching it. I also don't relate to the way you link moves because it seems forced as though you are adding in a move because you think you're supposed to rather than because the terrain offers up a natural opportunity for this or that move. Still, you guys are clearly very able riders and I do enjoy that aspect. This is all subjective judgement however. If it doesn't matter to you then fair enough. You should always just do what gets you the most from your riding rather than doing something because people on the internet are implicitly bullying you to do it their way.

I'm sorry the British riding scene is so harsh to you guys. There's no need and I find it embarrassing.

Edit: Just to add that I look forward to seeing new videos from you so please keep posting them here

I posted a reasonably positive comment but for all you negative guys Google translate most likely just f**ked you all over and made you all sound 10x worse! haha.

This is my fave vid of yours, more like this please, except no white tyres and keep your t shirt on.

[pashleyfaithfull]

What Dman said ^^^^

[Ross McArthur]

Haha, Ben, how is what you've just said, any different to what anybody else has?

[bikeperson45]

Most of the comments were actually pretty constructive. People seem to think that your riding boils down to ticking off a trick list over style, and with the videos being pretty repetitious in riding terms the same comments get said each time.

Doesn't mean you have to change your riding because of the comments, but the comments are because of your riding. Doesn't mean it's bad but just that you posted a video on the internet

[Mark W]

Haha, Ben, how is what you've just said, any different to what anybody else has?

Word count? ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

I'm being facetious - Ben was being informative/constructive rather than just posting a "Not keen" type comment.

...the comments are because of your riding.

I think realistically it's the editing/video that the comments are because of rather than "their riding". To use an extreme example, if someone did 30 G-turn to footjam whips while out filming and they all get put in the video then it'll be overkill and people will say "Too much of the same thing", but if the best couple get put in then people will be into it. Both Thomas and Yohan are really good at what they do and it seems like everyone's hoping for a riding-only kind of video, it's just in "themed" (for want of a better word) videos like this they don't necessarily get represented at the level they're actually at.
