First off all. Very good riding. Excellent editing.

Second: Ahh yes! So refreshing to see this kind of video after all the pure uci trials films I've seen lately.

Third: Jeffs crash on the womens bike was so goddamn funny! It made me laugh out loud. Though I hope he didn't hurt himself.

One thing I noticed though. While I'm not the best at giving away advice. I think it would help your general backwheel control if you bend your elbows when you are backhopping. Pull the bike more vertical.

I'm gonna go out and ride now.

Edit: I'm gonna watch manifesto again when I get home...

very nice video, loved the editing, plus good riding, the best part was the crash on the girls bike, i couldnt stop laughing........

[Rob.K]

Best crash ever with that kid showing off. Your ankle twisting crash looked painfull!! OUCH!! did anything happen to you there, was it a sprain or worse?

Good street riding, Impressive.

Good to see you doing demos, that is a great way to spread this sport.

I found the title to be quite misleading :hs:

That fague crashing was "Shock and Aw" don't ya think???

[AndyT]

That fague crashing was "Shock and Aw" don't ya think???In all honesty, I didn't last that long :o





edit: fantastic editing.

[Rob.K]

In all honesty, I didn't last that long :o
When you turn off the sound it helps to make it to there.

Great video man. Good riding, very good editing, and most of all it made me want to just go out and ride, which not very many videos do anymore. Gnarly crashes at the end too.

[Cryo-Cube]

nice stylish riding
top editing

[Norco_125]

[piss off]

i can´t download this vid:dunno:...(yes i am a member of engodoeeoridoso)

[planetary1]

The filming and editing were excellent, really, super nice job on that.

I can't figure out the girl bike crash, so funny...it's like he just let go of the bike or something...best crash in a while because of his facial expressions, he goes from "ha ha , look at me I'm so funny riding a girls bike" straight to utter surprise and terror!! Classic.

[sebLG]

your streety no-brakes trials stylee owns. the editing was tops aswell, haha, but things look so awkward on such a short bike! to me at least. i enjoyed the falls in the end, they were pretty brutal! well like in between bad and not at least. awsome video, thanks.

cya.

[aki]

Awesome video...yea that last crash was pretty hilarious :rofl:

[oicdn]

I dunno why, but the one where he fell on the railroad track was funny as hell......

But that vid rocked...nice editing, and nice music....

[sweezey]

Thanks to everyone who made a comment towards the film, Im really glad you enjoyed the riding, editing and my friend crashing,
History behind that scene; we found a girls bike and were basically doing stupid stuff on it, I ghost rided the bike over the stairs, then my friend decided to try it, but he's alot smaller then me, but when he jumped off, he only ended up falling back down on the seat ect.. lol he got banged up a bit, but luckily alright.
When I tried a 180 on the train tracks, (I was trying to get one clean attemp) I really did mess up my ankle, i can walk on it, but even though it happened 3 weeks ago it still hurts..?
Anyways
Thanks Again
Jon

LOL let the ankle rest!

[Bryan]

The best was when you were gapping and the hoodlum wannabes in the background were all like WTF?

[maciekzw]

Hey, sweet video man. Very good riding and editing. Loved the wipe outs at the end :)

Good job! Keep it up! :bigthumb:

[oicdn]

The best was when you were gapping and the hoodlum wannabes in the background were all like WTF?
Yeah...I was thinkin the same thing "Yo dog, that leap was off the chizzain".....

Yeah...the train tracks thing looked pretty interesting, it's like you tip-toed, then collapsed.....let the ankle rest....again, sick vid, and funny wrecks...

[AndyT]

I'm pretty sure they were saying "what the fuck is this gay shit? I wonder how much I can get for that bike"

[Realise.]

funniest fuckin' crash i've ever seen in a vid.

[Ross]

Is it hard to ride on a suspension fork?

[WhiteRavenKS]

good job editing, good music selection, hilarious crashing... damn fine vid.

[MegamoMidwest]

you should be proud to be a monctonian... where is that by the way?


(I concur, great video, I will go munch on my trousers now.)

[rider ns]

i can't get an eeongigee?? membership, and i want to see the vid cause i'm drom atlantic canada, can someone help me??

[planetary1]

I'm pretty sure they were saying "what the fuck is this gay shit? I wonder how much I can get for that bike"
true...those redneck Eminem look alike thug wannabees that are always around for every urban ride ALWAYS ask, um I mean aks, even before the seat question, "How much that bike cost, yo?" and I always say, so as not to give them any ideas, "man, a lot, this bike is probably worth at least $300.00." and they are always like, "deeeaaaammnnn"

Then of course comes the inevitable, "can you wheelie?"

Honestly though, I've never once had any trouble from those kinds of guys, I think they are genuinely impressed for the 5 minutes that their limited intellect allows them to pay attention.

[sweezey]

Question about the suspension fork, I find it alot easier to ride with it, then when I had a rigid fork, (better geo). Yeah there are alot of those bums/punks in the downtown center, I have other shots of them like walking by and swearing, ex: "Holy Fock man do that again!" (alot like that)

And Moncton, well thats a small city of no more than 100,000 people, its in New Brunswick.

Ride or Die

Yeah i do the same, whenever suspicious looking i-wanna-steal-your-bike-guys ask me how much the bike costs i say "dont know? i bougth it second hand from a friend for 200$"

[Matt]

They'd sell their sisters into underage prostitution rings for $25, the $300 price of your bike is anything but a deterrent :)

[rush]

$25!!!!

Now, wheres my sister?
