Looking back at Gwin and Hart both having moto background, something tells me riding moto suggests your body and mind to be on another level of how to maneuver a bike in general at high speeds, example the stylish riding that we see!!

It says moto TRIALS though. Which is not high speed. On another note, I'm 16, I work my ass off and put everything I have into biking. I don't mean to take anything away from this dude, 'cause he rips and is definitely faster than me; but it bugs me just a little to see these kids who are riding on their parents' money get featured just because they have videographers willing to film them. I'm not saying everyone deserves to be on the front page, but I've seen plenty of amateur edits that had equally good riding. Just because they don't have fancy camera angles and color effects and whatnot doesn't mean that they deserve little to no attention. My point is, I think it would be great if PB could have a feature for amateur edits every week.

Sigh. That's what Movies for Your Mondays is for dude. I've worked hard to get to where i am in terms of filming, so it is slightly aggravating when you refer to my videos as 'fancy camera angles'. This video is on here because it is a good video. I didn't film dorrit because he is on a team, I did it because i know him and he is a shredder. Take a look at my other videos, they feature amateur riders too. Next time take a second to think before you start hammering your keyboard.

@ ahembomb7

"but it bugs me just a little to see these kids who are riding on their parents' money get featured just because they have videographers willing to film them."

If you dig a little deeper here, you'll find that all the riders that are on the MS Mondraker Development Race are there because of their talent and supported through sponsorship. One of his team mates is Frazer McCubbing who is ripping shit up with 1st places in the Juniors (do a search)! His parents aren't what you call "rich" - but he's 16, and still works with his parents in their local shop/cafe. Not someone I would say is "riding on their parents' money".

@ahembomb7 i know both these guys and dorrit has worked his ass off and so has robbie! robbie is a solid guy and puts everything he has into filming to get this far and i am so stoked for him. As i am for dorrit. think before you start typing dude.

ajayflex (May 24, 2013 at 18:58)

Robsta, agree 100%.
Keep up the good work! Ripping vid \m/

jtaylor (May 24, 2013 at 23:49)

No time for them Robbie, the guys rippin I bet can't ride or film/take pictures so their input isn't worth reading as they talk bull.... Do you all think you come out the womb with a camera and your the best? Watch all of Robbins videos from the 1st he uploaded to this 1 and then think to yourself shit I'm an idiot for writing on here......

Alright. I turn 17 next month and since I turned 16 I have improved a lot....unless I actually regress then I will have seen significant improvement even if I don't get any better from now on.

Awesome video, good to see young rippers shredding.

aly-14 FL (May 23, 2013 at 13:20)

Why isn't this on the home page then? www.pinkbike.com/video/310996
Both young, both ride for mondraker, both great!

boid (May 23, 2013 at 13:46)

It has been on the homepage already.

Mcgeezy FL (May 23, 2013 at 14:04)

And also, they don't ride for Mondraker, It happens to be a pay in team and you get a team bike and jersey and race support etc. F8 Managment.

joshdh (May 23, 2013 at 14:10)

innes is actually on the world cup team though, andy is on the development team which you pay to ride for yes

Mcgeezy FL (May 23, 2013 at 23:29)

Yes, I realise this since he is my neighbor.

joshdh (May 24, 2013 at 3:57)

you said they dont ride for mondraker... innes does

Mcgeezy FL (May 24, 2013 at 15:07)

Yes I know that, it was a mistake, just pointing out faults in the caption.

Robsta (May 24, 2013 at 15:11)

Faults in which caption?

nouser (May 25, 2013 at 15:27)

sorry but tbh i was on andy ward's (my wc team mechanic and founder of "ms mondraker development team" last year and progressed on to ride for ms mondraker team. the team andrew dorrit is on is the youth development team for young riders not old enough to ride world cups yet. it includes a full team replica bike. correct- the dev team is on a "buy in" scheme but even so the support they receive and opportunities that they have access to is priceless! i was going to be on this team this year but andy ward put my name forward as a junior to ride on the world cup team and couldnt believe it when i was asked to ride for them. i was more than happy to still ride on the development team.

Nice edit, but he's no Troy Brosnan

medievalbiking (May 23, 2013 at 18:14)

The first time Troy really reached popularity and came out of obscurity was when he was about 18, this guy's 16. I am 16 and I know what difference those two years make.

bighitracer903 (May 25, 2013 at 14:43)

if you're 16 how do you know what the next 2 years mean? if you were 18 that would have made sense but you're not soooo ... can you tell the future or something?!

medievalbiking (Jul 1, 2013 at 2:29)

No I don't. What I do know is that since I was 14 I have moved from looking carefully at a 4 foot drop to confidently launching an 8 footer/doing whips off 25 foot gaps. I'm not trying to say that I'm a great rider but I have seen massive improvement. I also have friends who are 2 years older than me and seeing their improvement is crazy. They have gone from launching our local 40 foot jump like groms/ huckers to scrubbing it like racers.....

bighitracer903 (Jul 1, 2013 at 11:12)

and? My point is that you haven't lived those two years so you are unable to comment on how they directly affect you... Come back in two years and your comment will make sense, if you had said: "i'm 16 and I think a lot could change in the next two years." That would have made more sense.
