People that inspire me in riding has got to be Andrew Chai and Ali C. I could watch em ride all day they both have such an awesome riding style yet very powerful at the same time and after watching one of there vids i have to go out and ride. (Y)

Oh and dan wheeler cause hes not only a very good rider & a beast at sidehops but is a laugh to ride with too (Y)

aran cook - i like aran, cool guy, funny, pretty handsome too (well i would)

stan shaw - smooth like a babies bum, and thats not just his facial hair status.

For me, I love riding with the guys in Essex, mainly because they are just amazing.

I can really look up to them because I've seen them ride in person, and talked to them.

Steve Rogers, Adam, Dan, James and Co., first ride out of Braintree, I saw Steve on his T-Rex and Dan on his Triton, it was amazing to see real trials done in real life.

But generally speaking I look up to all all the riders around here, like the guys in; Colchester, Benfleet, Clacton, Chelmsford, etc.

Also, Chris in Cambridge, he is always up for a ride around here despite the amount he pays and spends on the trains. He always has a smile on his face and talks to everyone.

There,

Kenny Belaey - Same as above, and does quite alot of things to show trials to the public

Those 2 are my real favorites, there are alot more riders who I look up to, but these 2 are on top :)

I look up to all people taller than 5 ft 8/9 ish.

Serious note, i look up to the people (person) i ride with, as they're the people that virtually taught me.

Also, Antonio, who is in a bad situation with money and stuff, still manages to ride and he's such a looney, got the biggest bollocks ever (metaphor).

same really, i improve as i ride with various other people, at different levels, better/not as good as me, they both help me push myself and try out different things.

i like comparing myself to riders at similar levels too....

Id have to say:-

- Danny Garland. - Tought me how to ride, and damon.(Hope I get as good as damon then!) :lol: Also good mates with him, plus he knows his stuff about computers B)

- Danny swindlehurst - Good mate, and the first ever amazing rider I saw, that was the same age as me. Mint sidehops aswell, the stuff he was doing in my home town was crazy. I doubt i will ever do what he did in my riding life time.

- Damon Watson + Ben Travis - for amazing style and down to earth attitudes.(Some good riders are too big headed, these lads arn't)

- Mike "Judders" Judson - Seems very funny and has a good trials/bmx flow, good to watch compared to modern day trials

- Joe Baxter + Stan Shaw - Own natural, end of :king:

on a personal note, Will arnold, Josh Robinson + craig davies. I owe SOO much to these guys, they keep me riding and keep me improving so big thanks to you!

as for not AS personal, Ali C, iolo and waddy you guys are such a good laugh I look forward to EVERY ride I have with you :D :D and everyone else I met at koxx days, you guys are legends to me (Y)

Also another vote for mr savage. Such a 100% down to earth guy, always willing to help, easy to talk to! Not to mention fun to watch ride lol

As for people I've not met yet, CLS, ultra smooth and ultra confident with every move which is EXACTLY what I need to learn. and tunni, the big beasty monster!! :o. Mike Judders - so inventive with moves, always comes up with the ones you dont see and has the persistance to keep at them until they're done (Y) Last but by no means least danny mac. I would love to have even just a few of danny's moves dialled and to his perfection! (Y) danny's style is exaclty the sort of style I want to learn

lots of people really. But I've found you can learn atleast SOMETHING from everyone on here (Y)

I think to this day Danny Holroyd is one of my favourite riders, they pretty much re-invented what street trials was about and still trials kings videos inspire me.

Now I would say neil tunnicliffe as well purely as I am becoming a fan of going big, but I think neil just evolved what the trials kings started.

I notice how there are A LOT of british names appearing here, quite impressive.
