chester Posted October 29, 2006 Report Share Posted October 29, 2006 Surely everyone's noticed how street riding is becoming more and more popular recently. just wondering what everyone's veiws are on this????i.e: tricks like x-up barspin etc from bmx, back wheel stuff from trials etc. it's all kind of coming into one and we're seeing a lot more multi-purpose bikes coming out from people like dmr or 24seven. personally i think it's awesome that you can get such versatile bikes now. so much stuff is open to try and do and it's easier to do it for people like me who aren't on a very high wage like i can go out on one bike and try so many different things from different styles of riding.anyway, andwers on a postcard... or just reply to this...chester Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
planet x alan Posted October 29, 2006 Report Share Posted October 29, 2006 exactly! i see where your coming from. when i used to have my vinco i used to find riding a tad boring because all i could do on it was trials, now i have my base i can spin it and do alsorts of weird and wacky flat ground stuff etc. i love x-ups and crankflips and manuals from the bmx side of things, yet i love side hops (now i have learnt how to do them ) and i love to ride skate parks, specially concrete open air ones, they are lush!Alan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rider_01 Posted October 31, 2006 Report Share Posted October 31, 2006 i use a lots of bmx tricks manuals crankflips and barspind but also mix them up with drops and hops i dont no why people class things as street, trials, park etc most of the tricks are used by all riders no mater what style they do Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
A!! Posted October 31, 2006 Report Share Posted October 31, 2006 I think it is a good thing, it adds a lot of variation into peoples riding, and creates different styles. A lot of moves are taken from other bike disciplines like you say, many from bmx like x-ups, and now more trials riders are trying to achieve a more flowing style (similar to bmxing), which i don't think is a bad thing. So a lot of the other styles end up combining. But if you look at some of the bmx's they are now getting slightly more like trials bikes, with lower stand over heights, and i saw a picture the other day of a bmx with a bash plate attached to it, which i think was Ruben Alcantara's bike (i could be wrong). But this all happens for reasons, so in its self i don't think it's a bad thing. But it is inevitable that they will combine, and some people will ride and combine the different disciplines and styles, others will just ride pure trials. But then you ask yourself what is pure trials, as a lot of the moves are just different forms of hopping, and the most basic hop (arguably) is the bunnyhop, which came from bmxing. So it all gets a bit hazy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
