@@darkmann12 not the music itself, but how much it adds to the whole quality and effort put into what is basically a vlog. Not to say they were bad before, but it’s progress
Since day 1 I love your videos but in the last few days I am getting more in love with your videos. The new editing style is absolutely amazing and the music choice is pimp.
Kelvingrove Museum, historic architecture! Museum object deliveries!! And there is no questions about who is riding on the facades!!😅 Glasgow is so beautiful!! Thank you for this vide, Ali! I really enjoy them!
More sweet riding in 10mins than some major videos of old! And those slow-mos and music just all add to the flavours. Those Fox Forks are taking quite a pasting, and doing brilliantly.
Just managed to find a seatclamp and seatpost for my pace rc250t. Well stoked never thought I’d find 1 let’s my bike right down without a working seatpost happy days awesome riding as usual Ali
It actually amazes me what a creative biker you are every time I watch a video, you find lines noone would have ever thought of I fkin love it. 9:42 especially is so flipping cool
Cor Ali Clarkson on you tube it must be Friday again, where on earth has the past week gone, however it’s all good though and it’s absolutely freezing down here in Gloucestershire and that’s only because the biggest horse racing event is coming here soon. However Ali your riding is really good and I long to see you continuing this and maybe 🤔 when we have all had our coronavirus vaccinations 💉 , you and your Drop and a roll colleagues can be back entertaining those of us who enjoy watching your skills ????? and I for one will enjoy that.
It’s cold up here today too, this was filmed at the start of the week when it was warmer. I really hope we can have some shows again this year, I miss doing them and hanging with the guys!
It kind of weirds me out when I always see Trial's videos like yours and you're doing crazy stuff people wouldn't even dream of and they don't even bat an eyelid. idk, am I overthinking it? It seems like something is off when they're somehow too busy to even glance as such cool things going down right in front of them
Some people do watch but I think it’s a very British thing to not want to show too much interest and hide any excitement... maybe it’s a politeness thing too and they don’t want to get in shots or put you off. people in less conservative countries are definitely more vocal about it
I think it is the internet. People are no longer amazed by things. We got a lot more reactions from the public 10 years ago, especially from kids and teens. I'm in St Petersburg (ru) and ride trials since 2005.
We says "forks" here in Michigan also. Love the extra camera angles, music and editing! I still can't believe what I'm seeing sometimes! Your gaps and drops scare me! Glad you weren't impaled by the fence! 👍😁
Such an awesome edit, and you seem more enthusiastic than usual! It seems to me like you and Euan are a winning combo. Let the good times roll! (no.pin intended)
I've been following you for a long time, subscribed several years ago and it's amazing how vast orders of magnitude your skills have grown! Keep on doing so great and keep safe! :)
Awesome vid Ali! I received my first trials bike Monday March 1st, im so stoked! My local bike shop is getting a kick out of it as well! I already have new pedals, grips, and a new chain on it. I don't think an ancient GU has ever seen so much love, at least in my area! I can't wait till it thaws here and I can hop around more. I'm soooo close to getting up to back wheel!
Was watching this during my online class so no clue why everyone's talking about the music lol, but that bail off the hook was spectacular Ali! Really loved the slowmos, and the flex on the forks during the hooks were quite noticeable! Cheers for the great videos!🤘
Euan's shots look super sick! It's a bit of a shock going back to your own footage. Maybe it will be less noticeable if they are color graded more similarly. But those super cinematic shots must have you dreaming about a new camera haha. Anyways, great riding! The university spot looks really fun.
I still don’t class myself as even an average editor and colour correction is never something I’ve done much of but I tried to get these as close as I could, I totally get that the transition can be a bit jarring though. Yes a nicer camera would be sweet but it’ll have to wait, too many other things needing bought at the moment!
Really nice vid, and the music is spot on! I'm impressed by how tough these forks are! Speaking of low travel forks, would be interesting to see how the Lefty Oliver handle that kind of punishment! Not sure it would last as long as these Fox...
Man, Ali! The riding and editing gets better every video. That footage from your friends Fuji looks amazing. Also, I grew up in Texas and Oklahoma. I say my bike has forks too. Lol
@@Ali_Clarkson Well you are certainly my favorite honorary Scot., which is good for you. You stood ZERO chance of knocking Bon from the top spot, no matter how rad you are.🤣
Love the soul soundtrack. That second spot just begs for a wall ride. There is no reason why those forks would be any less durable than rigid forks. Have always noticed that suspension forks have some twist, making the brakes rub when turned and loaded. But I've also had the same issue with some rigid forks.
Ali damn dude you got some crazy skills you’re doing great I still don’t understand why you haven’t fixed your headset though keep it up your videos are always top notch
Lol. I'm from Canada (brakes on right side) and I was absolutely shocked by the fact u were doing manuals across that wall without finger on rear brake for fail safe.
You don’t NEED a trials bike to learn (but it would be nice)... if you want to learn on a budget then you can either modify your own bike slightly or if that’s not possible then a cheap hardtail with a bashguard and bigger brakes fitted would last you until you started doing bigger moves. If you do want to get a trials bike then check out the 24” Alias, that seems to be the best budget trials bike out at the moment 👍🏻
Great content, thank you. Love the slow-mo, it makes it so much easier to appreciate all the details in your riding. At @12:20 when you came down the bank on the front, the wheel wobbled. Was that flex in the fork or was it from your deft hands on the bars?
YOOOOO! I really love the tight slomo set to music. Well done my man. I know how hard it is trying to be the cinematographer when you're also the lead role. Honestly, to add some movement, maybe you could invest in a slider? lol or just shoot in 4k and keyframe movement with a crop. Well done man.
I want to buy a single bike (for now), one that will be useful for casual riding as well as beginning to try out trials maneuvers. I was looking at the Kona Shonky, or the Cannondale Dave. But DJs don't seem to be good for general riding given low seat, geometry, and gearing ratio. Would it be feasible for me to buy a gravel or mtb with a lower geometry so the seat can be moved much lower, and upgrade the crossbar for more control? or should I get a DJ and add in front disc brakes? Willing to spend about 1700 USD
I know that you used new Saint levers. And now i see that you have old M810 models. Can you say something about that swap? Or you can do it in another video. (or you did it already in previous videos wich i did not saw :-) Cheers!
One of the main reasons was I was bored lol...I had these levers and decided to see how they felt. I quite like how vertical levers take up less space on the bar and I had some time to kill so on they went
Loving the videos, but that headset rattling will destroy the frame... I would suggest maybe looking into the "Intend Smarty." It's an expansion wedge with a nice open hole that you can route the cable through. Don't want to see you brake the head tube off that bike
Do you find the damping effect of the fork adds any traction or are you just using it to cushion the impacts? Im wondering if a more solid fork could be made with larger stanchions but a simpler or light duty damper to keep the weight down.
The music, as if the videos weren't good enough, just elevates it by so much. Keep it up
ah, personally, not for me. What do you find good in the music?
@@darkmann12 not the music itself, but how much it adds to the whole quality and effort put into what is basically a vlog. Not to say they were bad before, but it’s progress
@@oleksiykolesnykov339 Fair enough :)
Thanks dude!
I thought the music set a good vibe but the vocals were over powering/fighting for focus and distracting me a little.
The Production Quality is fantastic! Just like your riding skills!!
Thanks Miles, this has been a few days staring at the screen so I’m glad it’s being enjoyed :)
Super underrated youtuber. I love how you film the slow mo shots, and the music fits the riding so well, keep it up!
Thank you Evan :)
A day the life of the best trials rider on the planet. Epic!
Since day 1 I love your videos but in the last few days I am getting more in love with your videos. The new editing style is absolutely amazing and the music choice is pimp.
Thanks so much Ronn :)
yes, yes, yes, Group ride with Marc and Euan. Get it done!!!!
I shall!
The music was a fantastic addition to this video! I like it!
Thank you!
Do you know what the name of the first song was?
Pleasure to support you Ali, the second angles and snazzy editing have taken the videos to another level. Keep it up😎
Come on Fox, do a 36 step-cast "AC" 40mm fork
That would be so good!
Kelvingrove Museum, historic architecture! Museum object deliveries!! And there is no questions about who is riding on the facades!!😅 Glasgow is so beautiful!! Thank you for this vide, Ali! I really enjoy them!
More sweet riding in 10mins than some major videos of old! And those slow-mos and music just all add to the flavours. Those Fox Forks are taking quite a pasting, and doing brilliantly.
Love your videos and especially the suspension fork tests!
Cheers Patrick :)
been brilliant seeing the new style of editing, im sure its time consuming but it sure does pay off
It is time consuming and I won’t be able to do it for every video but I think it’s worth it where possible and I’m glad people are liking it :)
Definitely one of the best videos you've done in a while! Street trial, slow motions, nice angles, music...
Very cool with all the perspectives and how the video is cut. In addition, your riding style is from another planet!
Thanks buddy!
Can tell you are pushing harder with video editing! Keep it up 🤘
Glad you like it :)
More than a winter's worth of creativity in these lines Ali, nice one 👏 What a difference a glimpse of the sunshine makes 😎👊💥
Well...the music itself is quite nice. But i like it raw just like my favorite aluminium bike frame...i LOVE the sound of your riding!!!
Raw hasn’t gone anywhere, I won’t always have slomo clips which need music so raw will be the one
That's good to hear...have a very nice weekend!!!
I love hearing the reactions of the people around watching!
Just managed to find a seatclamp and seatpost for my pace rc250t. Well stoked never thought I’d find 1 let’s my bike right down without a working seatpost happy days awesome riding as usual Ali
Good stuff! So jealous you’ve got one of those!
Yes new vid 🔥🔥🔥
i like this video style. Please continue if you can
Thanks, I’ll certainly try!
Well I like the music interlude think it worked well. Also a doff of one's hat for those 2nd angles today and the edit itself. Great vlog again 👏🤘
Thank you Stuart :)

🔥 Hot damn 😋 that song! *Eight points later" simply amazing! Fits the video, simply amazing!

Forks are holding up well considering the punishment they are getting can't get enough of those backwards nose manuals amazing skills

I met this guy at the park in east killbride with me and my friend he done big jumps on the tall stones and me and my friend were like WOW!!
Amazing Ali keep the riding and music up. Top notch.
6:30 that landing on a back wheel was insane! 🤯 I could never see myself doing that.
Well, that's what I call a level up in video quality! Pretty nice!
Really nice vid, and the music is spot on! I'm impressed by how tough these forks are! Speaking of low travel forks, would be interesting to see how the Lefty Oliver handle that kind of punishment! Not sure it would last as long as these Fox...

Videos just keep getting better. 👍
Dude! Your manuals are second to none! 🤘🤘 , I wish I could do 1/8 of what you can do!
The slow Mo is so crispy, that is amazing and that bike looks sick, how's the bottoming out, or is there enough pressure?
Great one! Tomorrow will go training, still stuck practicing back and front pivots ) Looks easy but hard to manage!
That was some awesome riding ali 😳 everytime I'm astonished ny the smoothness ☺️
You've got more flex than travel haha. Love the videos this year 🙌
My 3 favorite Scottsmen:
#1 Bon Scott
#2 Ali Clarkson
#3 Sean Connery
You're keeping good company, bud😎
I suppose I’m in honorary Scotsman but I’m actually English 😋
@@Ali_Clarkson naw mate, you've dual citizenship Scots and Yorkshire.
@@Ali_Clarkson Well you are certainly my favorite honorary Scot., which is good for you. You stood ZERO chance of knocking Bon from the top spot, no matter how rad you are.🤣
I hope fox makes a trials fork one day because of these videos.
That would be sick... very niche though haha
Love the soul soundtrack. That second spot just begs for a wall ride. There is no reason why those forks would be any less durable than rigid forks.

steeziest street trials rider out there! also: seeing mark ducat ride trials would be really cool...

Great choice of music with the slow motion
brilliant riding ! those front hops are killers !!

Fellow Derbyshire human 👍🤟
Yep, cold here today too, this was filmed at the start of the week :)

Lol. I'm from Canada (brakes on right side) and I was absolutely shocked by the fact u were doing manuals across that wall without finger on rear brake for fail safe.
got a chainspotting vibe going on wth this vid. love it
super impressive line over the gate

I actually want to buy and learn trials now but theyre expensive
You don’t NEED a trials bike to learn (but it would be nice)... if you want to learn on a budget then you can either modify your own bike slightly or if that’s not possible then a cheap hardtail with a bashguard and bigger brakes fitted would last you until you started doing bigger moves.

Production is crazy
9:50 what an awesome move
Great video Ali loved it .on another note did u see Charlie rolls new street video ? absolutely mind blowing stuff .
YOOOOO! I really love the tight slomo set to music. Well done my man. I know how hard it is trying to be the cinematographer when you're also the lead role. Honestly, to add some movement, maybe you could invest in a slider? lol or just shoot in 4k and keyframe movement with a crop. Well done man.

Thanks Garret, I’m glad it’s being enjoyed :)
nice video Ali! Like this type of lines :-)
awesome edit Ali! Really inspiring.
Which brake pads are U using? seems squiking like rim brakes, love that sound
Digging the first track!
Would love to see a fully synced edit with all this great music!
Awesome video Ali

11:43 the camera looks like you are riding a pump track haha
excellent.
Thanks Yohan!
Have you thought about just grabbing a cheap die/tap set to cut more threads in the headlock bolt? Also, great riding in this video!
Does running a fork you are a little skeptical about make you focus on precision and form more?
It should but I usually forget and just go back to my normal riding anyway haha
