bikeperson45 Posted January 24, 2017 Report Share Posted January 24, 2017 Maybe an idea for a thread, for when you want to repost a video that doesn't quite warrant it's own topic? Anyway, found the mp3 of the song on an old memory stick and the hunt for this video began. Trials begins at 4:16 but I remember watching this video on a weekly basis when I started getting into bikes - And an old video of Dominik Raab showing him being ahead of the game, uploaded a few months before April 2009 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jsy Ben Posted January 26, 2017 Report Share Posted January 26, 2017 Feel you @bikeperson45 - "Monday" brings it all back! Ali C n Raab vid love too! Can't for the life of me remember what a particular old fave was called, it was a good 8mins or more of an Asian rider on a 26" Echo or possibly Zoo, super smooth hooks n hops set in what seemed like a ruined white rock temple like setting, minimalistic tune and slow vibe to the vid... No idea of a name! Recall him possibly spending some time on a 20 too though and putting out some insane sidehops to back wheel on a again, asian looking, street concrete flowerbed at night!? Good thread! ...I'm off on the hunt now... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Luke Rainbird Posted January 29, 2017 Report Share Posted January 29, 2017 I'm just going to link Rowan's YT page to save us all some time. https://www.youtube.com/user/webtrialsgeek/videos That said, to avoid the boy's head getting too big, the only one I'll embed here is him getting it wrong. 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Was anyone able to watch that without muting it? I'd rather dive head first off a building onto a spiky fence than listen to that 'music'....

That's a bit harsh, there must have been some good music in 2007. ;-) But you're absolutely right, it's not my video and if I don't like the soundtrack I should just STFU and enjoy it muted.

jamesb Posted February 4, 2017 Report Share Posted February 4, 2017 (edited) Before the bb raise riding had a way different look. I think better. The tap at 1:40 !?!?! Edited February 4, 2017 by jamesb 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Daviesdt Posted February 5, 2017 Report Share Posted February 5, 2017 It was definitely more 'bike' than pogo stick wasn't it? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ali C Posted February 12, 2017 Report Share Posted February 12, 2017 Love that video! Just reminds me of summer and pure fun. Danny needs more wigs He also makes 26" wheels looks really appealing 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

aener Posted February 14, 2017 Report Share Posted February 14, 2017 (edited) I think it's high time people remembered Ben Travis has been really f**king good for a really f**king long time. Edit: Holy crap. This prompted me going on an old-video-binge. I really, really miss trials being about having fun on bikes, and there being other people around to do it with. And by all accounts it was already in decline by the time I started, so I never experienced it at its peak! It's really sad.

There should be more people around than when you started (mind that I started only 3 1/2 years ago). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd be very curious as to where you got that statistic from Whether more are sold or not, I used to ride with varying groups of people on Saturdays and Sundays, and often mid-week, and felt hard-done-by if there was less than four other riders on any given ride. Now I consider it a treat when I get to ride with ONE other person once every three or four weeks. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Davetrials Posted February 15, 2017 Report Share Posted February 15, 2017 (edited) Your pretty spot on there dude, A Saturday ride used to be a good 10-15 strong minimum,(remember fancy dress rides?) i used to love traveling the country to meet up with guys on here for a bit of riding and bants', i seem to find if i join a ride nowadays theres a lot less of that. i spend alot more time riding on my own, which i have no qualms with but its not what it used to be at all. I feel as though we may have pushed this towards a bitch and reminisce topic. Edited February 15, 2017 by Davetrials Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Or maybe people back then were riding their MTBs and that there was no need for a special bike = more riders. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
