^^^ This :o

Bubba that is a bloody amazing video, thanks for posting it. I'm not a biker and I've seen a few skate / bike clips, but that is the best biking thing I've seen, amazing tricks, loads of variety, and superbly put together.

If you enjoyed that, then check out the Collective DVD, some jaw dropping footage there, brilliantly put together.

Post by: Bubba on April 21, 2009, 12:29:13 am: This is much better than the trials in the Collective. Not slagging Ryan Leech off in any way, he's incredulous but this is something else. Agree the Collective is worth a watch anyway for the other beautiful footage.

Well the Collective is pretty old now (5 years?) so you would hope that the game has progressed, just stands out in my mind as one of the first MTB DVDS where they went to the effort of capturing some amazing footage.

Post by: Yossarian on April 21, 2009, 09:57:24 pm: He's a cool guy.

I think the Chris Akrigg bits in the Earthed series are more stylish though. The Akrigg bloke has such an amazing style - jumping onto things, and then flinging himself back off them again.

I also recently watched a BMX vid mainly filmed in Sheff. Tomorrow We Work. Now that's fucking Jackson. If you're into 30ft flat landings, brakeless stoppies and skinny jeans then I'd invest in a popcorn machine and get the wife to do the washing up.

Title: Re: [VID] Crazy bike skills
Post by: Yossarian on April 21, 2009, 10:29:38 pm: that is fucking hardcore...

the riding along gates and fences is getting a bit passe.

that's the point i suppose. the man above is probably better at doing the ryan leech type stuff than ryan leech was, but ryan leach was at least the pioneer.

chris akrigg developed a style, and has now gone strictly ghetto and it pursuing it with no brakes and huge balls.

big up yourselves.

(i quite fancy a black market mob, but i would be very surprised if i manage to achieve any tricks worthy of celluloidal recording....)

Post by: john horscroft on September 15, 2009, 12:34:54 pm: Danny still looks as cool as ever, but the inevitable consequence of a bigger budget for the vid is that some pretentious twat of director has to add a load of crap camera angles that show us next to fuck all about the real scale of the stunts he's pulling. For me the original cheap and cheerful vid is way better.....
