Simon Posted February 9, 2005 Report Share Posted February 9, 2005 In terms of the commentator, i would say get Chris Ratcliff up there again, he is a really sound and knowledgeable guy (he was the one commentating at the bike battle i think). ← Adam + Chris where a bloody great combo at the international cycle show. Knew exactly where to go to see what was going on, and knew exactly what to say, and when to say it. They got the crowd going, or tried too :) Either would be good B) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Badboy Posted February 9, 2005 Report Share Posted February 9, 2005 Chris was commentating along-side Clive Cosling at Bike Battle. I have found that Clive has a sense of humour you either like or dont. He commentated at a MAD demo once, an took the piss out of us all the way through the show. But that is the way the guy is. He talks to the masses! It would be good to have Chris AND Clive doing ala Bike Battle! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mark W Posted February 9, 2005 Report Share Posted February 9, 2005 I'd just like to second Chris R. for doing the commentary. Last year there was an issue with dates (was it when he swanned off to India?), but this year it'd be cool if he could make it. His commentary seemed really good in 2003, and seeing as he's a trials rider too he's got some good knowledge of it all. I think the best part about the last Show I went to (the '03 one) was just the riders jamming. There wasn't much from the U.K. riders apart from Ian Drummond trying to sidehop to pedal up some pallets or something like that when I was watching, but Nelson Reis, Kenny Belaey (I think) and Vincent Hermance were all going a bit nuts on the logs and so on. It's just cool seeing the top riders playing around having fun, seeing as they're going to push themselves then too, but you can also see some of their personality shine through, which is always a good thing. Either way, sound rider line-up this year. Good luck with it. Mark. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
X-Lite_Rider Posted February 9, 2005 Report Share Posted February 9, 2005 i think the line up looks very good certainly better than last years, last weekend i got this bikeshow ifno booklet through my door i opened it up and had a quick scan thorughi could see nothing about trials in there no riders mentioned. I know most people dont know as much about it as say normal mtb or dirt but it draws a big crowds they could of at least gave it a mention.

Tod Posted February 9, 2005 Report Share Posted February 9, 2005 Sounds like a pretty good line up, but like many people have been saying, it would be nice to see Berridge up there putting in some more techy street stylee. While were on the topic, is this Boon fellow Matt Berridge? I keep seeing people refer to them both, I thought they were two different people :"> Tom Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mark W Posted February 9, 2005 Report Share Posted February 9, 2005 Yeah, Boon = Berridge. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brisa Posted February 9, 2005 Report Share Posted February 9, 2005 Looks good, I would say Boon should be given a chance if he was up for it and also as someone said Waynio. Two very skilled riders that aren't french! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rich Pearson Posted February 9, 2005 Report Share Posted February 9, 2005 (edited) Would have liked to have seen Mike Graves, Adam Burns, Kris Leeson, Thomas Remvik Aasen, Ryan Leech and Scott Wilson on that list, but it looks sweet otherwise.

DangerousDave Posted February 9, 2005 Report Share Posted February 9, 2005 Dani Comas would be a great rider to have there. Seeing as he is current uci champ and can go bigger than anyone expects... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

G-Jordan Posted February 9, 2005 Report Share Posted February 9, 2005 ye, i reckon Dani Comas would be great added to that list. He really is an amazing rider and would love to see him at the bikeshow. The list looks great otherwise. george Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ScotchDave Posted February 9, 2005 Report Share Posted February 9, 2005 Isn't that a bit cheeky, sponsoring a rider but not even paying for them to come to your event? (Y) But fair enough as they did give you a bike n stuff. :rolleyes: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Trials Punk Posted February 9, 2005 Report Share Posted February 9, 2005 (edited) Would have liked to have seen Mike Graves, Adam Burns, Kris Leeson, Thomas Remvik Aasen, Ryan Leech and Scott Wilson on that list, but it looks sweet otherwise. Will try and make it. Rich ← Scott Wilson. You must be joking? Right? I don't like is attitude whatsoever. The I'm too good for you so I'm going to push in front of you to ride this section attitude. Stuck up. Anyway enough of that little rant. I wouldn't want to see edd tounge ride there. He is useless these days. You mentioned something about a pink seat in porthcawl mart? That alone seemed to me like he has more or less quit trials, or you could call it more focused on his BMX as he his amazing. I feel sorry for you TRA being sponsored by such a big company in the trials world, yet they can't get you over to britain to promote their products and most importantly for you to show your skills. Hope you cope. I would have liked to see boon and ryan leech on that list. It would have really spiced things up. I'm sure there will be some last minute changes though. Like people not turning up. Lol. Hope to see you all there. Edited February 9, 2005 by Trials Punk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The I'm too good for you so I'm going to push in front of you to ride this section attitude. Eh?Was there any need for that like i didnt think neway,why dont u ride ?,no dent think so,anyway why not give some younger riders a shot? And eddie tongue is hardly useless ?
