Who said Trials didn't flow?

Reckon this flows pretty nicely at times:

Thats pretty good, but I'm way better than that. Once I rode all the way up the side of the BT tower, jumped (with a tailwhip I might add) to the top of the rotunda, then nose-manualed all the way down the side.

Danny McAskill is awesome, and is evidence that top notch trials riding will soon merge with top notch bmx riding. He actually rides with BMX riders which is undoubtedly why he rides like a BMXer - in fact a BMX rider called Dave Sowerby (Scottish bloke, was sponsored by Seventies Distro and featured on their From Love to Hate video) filmed the video that you've posted.

He still does a bit of that ugly bouncing and hopping but the rest of his riding completely outweighs that - this is the most jaw dropping video I've seen in a long time, probably overshadowing anything I've seen by riders like Ruben Alcantara...

Slightly off topic, but does anyone know exactly where this concrete bowl is in Kings Heath? http://www.randombmx.com/wordpress/?p=931

secret location

tempted to get back on me bmx and shred that thing. once you get over the fear of riding on concrete, it's pretty nice to ride, just don't crash if you value the intactness of your bones

it's in the park near just off allens croft rd in kings heath. As you go down it there's a school on the left with a small turning on the lhs. go down that and you can park there and it's across the grass of the field. Google map it, it's loads steeper than it looks in that photo but pretty rad and watch out for the ghetto kids round that way

Thanks for the info, anyone ridden it? How does it compare to the bowl that was at Epic?

Might pop down tomorrow if i get chance - i guess it will be quietest in the morning

Here?

If it's steeper than it looks in the photo then it must be f*cking vertical - those transitions do look pretty quick

yeah it's near to where the mounds of sand are in the google pic. It's pretty fcking steep but that makes it ace. If anyone ever rode the small spine 'inliner' section at epic which had two quarters and a small (around 5ft) spine and was really tight then the transition on that bowl is the same as those ramps. It's smaller and tighter than epic's old bowl. It's probably too tight for a fixed gear if anyone was intending to ride it on theirs but might be worth a go. The park at kings norton isn't far either but that is pretty crap and slippery unless it's perfectly dry.

right i'm gonna ride this on tuesday

spent ages re-learning barspins and suicide no handers at lightwoods park, but i think i'm gonna put a brake on and do some tech shit at kings heath, IF we can find it.... hopefully mark will scout it out tomorrow and take us straight there on tues.

and hopefully it won't be raining.

Can any of you guys do owt like this?

YouTube - inertiashows warm up

Had a wicked day with Keelan and Lee visiting three of the schools I work with, and got some good pics/shaky vid too.

It is called a stoppie. Nose manual ... really ... these kids...

rhb, i think you'll find that most bmxers cant do any flatland tricks... other than perhaps a tailwhip endo.

flatlanders are a rare breed. I appreciate flatland more than street or skatepark riding just because of the sheer volume of practice that has to be done to get to even a half-decent level...

I reckon Ines Brun would be ace on a flatland BMX

according to mark that bowl is "sick" and "5 feet deep... tight as fuck"

shame he's got to have his elbow removed tomorrow :-( i'll have no-one to ride it with for a few weeks.

They were pretty impressive, that's for sure.

yeah they're awesome

but then again, ive been watching some street shit on the Federal site and basically sat there saying "you fucking cunt... oh you sick wanker... oh for fuck's sake... you sick cunt... you cunt!" all the way through it

when i first started in 1997 you could watch bmx vids to get inspired to learn stuff. nowadays the level of riding is so unbelievably mental that videos just make you want to give up while you still have intact skin
