Brian Bleech Posted February 13, 2007 Report Share Posted February 13, 2007 danny by a mile. i expect he could do the big stuff but i prefer his riding tech and creative - that is a huge line that I have never seen anybody else do and it was filmed 3rd October 2005 and he had only ridden Leeds Uni for about an hour...

craigjames Posted February 13, 2007 Report Share Posted February 13, 2007 yeah he can do big stuff+the creative stylish stuff, does he do natural aswell, he'd be pretty much the complete rider then???? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Greetings Posted February 13, 2007 Report Share Posted February 13, 2007 Danny any time, I find Damon's riding quite boring. With Danny you never know what he's going to come up with and that's great Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Christophe' Posted February 13, 2007 Report Share Posted February 13, 2007 should have added "both" into the poll.I like both realy.Two much of anything gets boring. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fishy Posted February 13, 2007 Report Share Posted February 13, 2007 Danny fo' sure. It's like watching scripted porn... you think you know whats going to happen next, but then they start humping, and your left amazed thinking... 'Oh no she/he didn't'. Also for the style, I think Damon is fooking impressive, but it's repetative, whereas Danny's lines are bangin. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Davetrials Posted February 13, 2007 Report Share Posted February 13, 2007 ive npticed alot of the people who prefer to see damon are young naieve(SP?) learners who still shaft tape measures and the much more experainced riders usualy perfer dannys style as its new and much more fun.

Gaz M Posted February 13, 2007 Report Share Posted February 13, 2007 (edited) i think somebody fancies there riding buddies.......... ooooooh damon yes damon is impressive but danny has way more unique style damons just a different looking tunnicliffe to be honest.How is damon my riding buddy1. i dont ride anymore2. i live in mansfield he lives in hull thats like 2 hours away Right basically, in my mind which is probably totally wrong and all the brainy people will rip me to shreds but anyway. If you put damon on natural and left him for a year he would be able to ride it to a high level im pretty sure the same is with anyone on this forum really, but if you put danny next to a 55" sidehop or just street in general and left him for a year he wouldnt be able to ride it as good as damon, ok he might be able to get up a 40 inch wall 60 different ways which is what alot of you admire but i dont, my point is anyone can be technical given the chance, time and determination, not everyone can ride go big style, street to damons level and thats because it requires a certain physical build (ecto-mesomorphic, fast twitch sprinter etc), and theres very few people like it, unlike technical riding its not something you can learn. in my eyes this is why its taken damon about 3 years to get where he is and tunni and craig almost 3 times as long and damons is still gettng better, now somebody explain about how im totally wrong and anyone can sidehop 70" or whatever Edited February 13, 2007 by Gaz M Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
boon racoon Posted February 13, 2007 Report Share Posted February 13, 2007 these threads are shit. directly comparing 1 rider to another is fruitless and ultimately lame, especially when they're of such high standard in 2 different fields/styles.i'm just thankful the UK has riders of this talent and they BOTH produce free videos for us all Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Whereas I've seen Neil and CLS doing Damons lines (and vice versa).Who is more special, a rider who is unique, or a very good rider who can sidehop as high as at least 20 other riders?I'm in no way saying that the big boys aren't impressive, I just disagree with the fact that anybody could ride like Danny but few could ride like Damon.

Also. Have you seen the size of some of these sidehops.Click link. Then click clips 2 on the home page. Some of them sidehops have got be 56-57 easy.Dan..............

Synergy Posted February 13, 2007 Report Share Posted February 13, 2007 your saying (gaz m) that damon is more of a trials rider, trials is about lines not just sidehop video it lets move on, you have to connect things which is what danny does, damon in any of his videos ive seen has no clip lasting more than 5 seconds long unless its jsut settig up for a sidehop.
