jamesb Posted May 31, 2015 Report Share Posted May 31, 2015 I've been sitting on a lot of footage because I've been sick for a long time. Today was the first day I felt healthy enough to get back to riding. It was raining, so I couldn't go film the stuff that I wanted to for my other project. I still got out to the canopy to ride under cover. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

onzatpro09 Posted May 31, 2015 Report Share Posted May 31, 2015 Yes. You are easily one of my favourite riders based purely on your creativity and uniqueness as well as silky smooth style. Keep it up! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mark W Posted May 31, 2015 Report Share Posted May 31, 2015 Good shit Kudos for making throwing the bars look that easy when we all know it isn't. Out of interest, are your bars cut down at all or are they full width? Are you tempted to put brakes back on at all or are you planning on staying brakeless for the bigger video you've got planned? Also, nice one on the 360 nose bonk thing on the pole too. I've been meaning to learn them for ages but I'm struggling to get my head around them. Maybe I need to just go have a car park session some time soon... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dngr2self Posted May 31, 2015 Report Share Posted May 31, 2015 I like how you managed to do quite a lot with a pretty limited spot. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, I am planning on running brakes again some day. My other project (I have a couple minutes of footage from the past month) is all brakeless, but with a bit more trials influence than this video. I wish I could have 2 bikes, one with brakes and one without. All the BMXy stuff is so much more fun sans brakes, but I miss the set-ups I can ride with brakes. Brakes are also better for demos. The inspiration to go brakeless for now was made easy by blown pistons and wrecked fingers from catching levers on barspins. For the 360 nose-bonk, go faster than you want to and spin for a hop 360. If you can hop 3 you can do this trick, you just need to time it right. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mark W Posted May 31, 2015 Report Share Posted May 31, 2015 When I do the 180 version I kind of deliberately stall it at around the 90 mark then push the front end in to get the bonk and rest of the spin. Is it kind of similar with the 3 version of it or do you just glance it? Glad to hear there's a potential return of the brakes though. Although I really like your riding without brakes, some of the potential moves/lines you had in that Shaka Brah video were rad. The 270 tyre tap barspin right at the start was the shit, I need more of that in my life... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jamesb Posted June 1, 2015 Author Report Share Posted June 1, 2015 I tried it like the 180 version too but never got enough spin. I still stalled out the 3 a bit, but even if I missed the pole I would still get close to landing it. Speed fixed it for me. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
trials26 Posted June 1, 2015 Report Share Posted June 1, 2015 That Hang ten was beautiful! Loved the video, like all of your previous ones! keep them coming. After the nose bonk - manual to 180 bars, I was expecting a 180 nose bonk on the post again, trumped that with throwing them bars! Make it look too easy!

Ross McArthur Posted June 1, 2015 Report Share Posted June 1, 2015 What did you say about Sean Watson at the end? Did you really just call him a knob jockey? Teach us how to bar spin. Pleeeease! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jamesb Posted June 3, 2015 Author Report Share Posted June 3, 2015 haha, I stole a trick from his video, the manual to run to manual, so I figured I'd give him a shout out. Sign of respect. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
