While I can respect the amazing discipline it takes to ride like this with no brakes, I'm at the same time saddened to see the bmx brakeless trend coming to trials riding. Trials has always been about loud, beautiful, powerful brakes... I know you'll consider closed-minded for saying this, but please don't follow the trend. And yes, I know you'll say "o, it's not a trend, it's a new standard". Sorry, I'm not a fan.

so saying that should we all add about 10 pounds to our bike too? Don't want to be following the bmx weight wennie trend too, or maybe just go back to croscountry bikes for trials too. Basicly what I'm trying to get at is progression makes life fun and just because they don't use brakes doesn't mean trials well become extinct.

Lower weight is a common goal shared by all bikers. I'm not sure it's a good comparison here. On the other hand brakeless riding is becoming a trend that ties into the lower weight goal. And yes, good for progression, I'm just not a fan.

Why post that first one trm? Leave the personal opinions to your self if you're going to tell guys how they're supposed to ride according to you.

I am merely giving feedback.

Nice work guys! Glad I could see some of the riding first hand when you guys were in Calgary. My only suggestion would be to mix in some tripod shots without the fish eye and maybe a regular wide angle lens.

Is brakeless a new trand? I don't think so. It's just never had as much attention or specific videos before. Any dedicated trials rider has ridden with a broken brake instead of quitting for the day, or brakeless to improve speed and efficiency (can you say CPTA?).

Alright, and feedbacks good.
Its just when you made it sound like you're telling them to stop riding because you dont like it, that becomes more than just an opinion. Thats all.

Anyway, great video sean.
