ManxTrialSpaz Posted May 10, 2007 Report Share Posted May 10, 2007 Don't really look up to anyone, not the kind of person who 'wants to be as good as him when I'm older'. If anyone, I lookup to the people I ride with as they all have their unique styles of riding and I hope I will as well when my riding becomes more defined Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ali C for being streety natural all around rider.Steve-A for his beast 24" style.Matt Berridge...stylish.Macaskill for being such a big move street trials rider with such a bmx style.Bealey,Vincent and other uci legends...Everybody riding streety with a uci geometry frame and at the same time being a good natural rider And ofcourse locals who do not know but you should cus they are super m8s Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
call_the_police Posted May 10, 2007 Report Share Posted May 10, 2007 Hmmm... people I look up to most...

Also I kinda look up to Alaistair Clarkson, Benito Ros and many others for their devotion into the sport of Bike Trials!!John Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Walleee Posted May 10, 2007 Report Share Posted May 10, 2007 Those top euro comp guys, Comas, Butler, Savage, Coust's, Hermance, beleay, Benito, ohler.On here I'll make a point of reading what the following have said but wouldn't necessarily 'look up to' them(ie: Their opinion is one which interest's me) Ali C, Sam oliver, robbie peacock(or his dad), barbara wright, adam from TB, Savages, Dave85, simon, Alex T...But yeh when it come to riding I look up to most of the euro guys, and those who are winning their classes in the british rounds, savage sam oliver etc Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
