well, i doubt anybody remembers me, at all
but anyway, i broke my leg in july last year and recently got back into riding again and decided to video myself tonight
please give me your opinions, criticisms are welcome
Also i know the editing is crappy, but my adobe premier is broken and wont let me record audio.
so yeah, thanks a lot
Thanks everybody
Calm style? really? i always thought i kinda look like a duck while riding
baha the seat was a bit low, im still fiddling with it to see whats right for me again. but yeah, im 6 foot 3 (192cm ish) so a trials uni is bound to look small
Thanks again for all the lovely comments! :o much appreciated
Good to see your back in the saddle Alister. I remember you. Partly 'cos you’re quite local to me, but mostly because I was jealous of how quickly you got good at wheel walking, one minute you were nervously jumping on a tree stump at Cragside, the next you were wheel walking a skinny.
I’m sure those that placed below you in the Beginners Trials competition at Middlesborough remembers your name too.
So knowing how good you were getting I felt really bad for you when you broke your leg. Have you been back to conquer the hill yet?
haha this message made me smile!
I tried that skinny wheelwalk again earlier, failed miserably although i’m sure i’ll get it again soon!
I have not been anywhere near that hill since i broke my leg, it’s kind of a massive mental barrier, but also im not at the skill level i was beforehand I’ll definitely still try and muni, but I think i’ll leave it for a long time!
thanks for remembering, you’re from gateshead right? (:
ahaa, same as me then, should be fun! entering beginners again? i think im going to have to, im about the same as i was last year if not worse right now
Yeah, but I got out of Gateshead town at the end of last year (thank God) and moved over to Blaydon.
It’s a little closer to my favourite muni area, Chopwell Woods. If you do go back to muni, it’s a good place to start. There’s room to use a good range of skills there: Lots of skinny paths, some nice rooty downhill lines and even some northshore trials stuff.
