Oldschool Ot Pi Vid

Recommended Posts

That's the craziest thing I've ever seen. I though all that kinda stuff was relatively new school, didn't even realise 20inch was around back then. I've seen old Hans Rey vids and stuff like "Chain Spotting", and this is years older but it makes those look really old school! Apart from the bike and the clothes you'd be forgiven for thinking that was filmed in 2006!

I'd be interested to find out a bit about that bike he's riding, like what brakes he's running as I've never known anything before V brakes to hold like that, canti's were never that good.... were they? Are you sure V's weren't around?!?

I gotta watch that again, that is the bollox!!

Yes, they were canti's, and Mod's were the first type of trials bike's, stocks came after.

Below is hans rey's old bike, much the same as OT Pi's

That is part of a 60 or 90min video... don't remember exactly... called "Technique of Ot Pi".

Too bad I've sold it to someone on the forum here.

Impressive riding! He had amazing skills these days... The bikes have improved a lot and make it easier to do certain techniques. Some years ago the technique and the rider himself was a lot more important than today I'd say. Today you can compensate a lot with a long, leight weight bike...

i thought Ot Pi ran maguras on that bike.

I used to have that vid (until mum recorded over it) and i'm almost sure there was a close up with his front wheel at one point.

The bit on the full video that impressed me the most was how much power the brakes had in the wet. They were as good as mine in the dry.

good to see that vid again though...its the one that got me into trials many moons ago.

Aciiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiid!

Do you think in years to come people will be downloading CLS vids and taking the piss out the music/bikes/riding?
