@gogoc you think doing a barspin would take as much balls/skill as that last wall tap? I wouldn't expect so. Tricks are for fashion monkeys, ackrigg could probably do all that stuff, But he chooses to be progressive in his riding rather than following what everyone else does.

hmm, think i somehow made two comments. and BTW, i wasn't trying to say that tricks are bad, just that it's a totally different way of riding.

You know when your cruising around your town/place of residence, and your looking at stuff going, "that would be a cool hit, that would be fun to try, or if you had a ramp right here you could hit this and land there"...this guy thinks things like that on steroids and then actually goes and tries it - and I get so amped every time I see one of his clips. Hope he makes that last one next time!

Class, good to hear the west yorkshire accent on pinkbike. Does Chris still work in Aire Valley? funny to think he's fixed my bike. There ain't enough money in this sport!

Yeah, keep bringing it Chris. It is so good that you ride every bike in the Mongoose fleet and are not just a one trick pony. DH, DJ, street, fixies, slopestyle, trail bikes, whatever suits you it's fine with me.

I'm sick of tricks, it seems any kid can do a tailwhip if he has enough patience. Ive seen tricks so many times the exitement is lost
