Disc brakes have a few disadvantages, they’re heavier, easier to break (rotors are exposed) and they aren’t as precise due to the spoke flex (locking the wheel at the rim stops any unwanted movement). Rim brakes have more bite too and with special pads and a sharp texture on the rim from an angle grinder they work better in the wet too. The down side to a rim brake is the noise and lack of any modulation
@@Ali_Clarkson Would really like to see Jack ride a full sus as always thought that was possible to do just as amazing stuff on full sus, but never really got the skills to prove it?
@@Aljonone1 Jack does a lot of cool stuff on his full suss and e-bike on his Instagram. Think he's sponsored by Orange. Worth checking out if you haven't already!
Wow, Jack really just does what he wants. It's something I've only seen from him and Charlie in that they can literally just make it up as they go and do the most insane stuff. I'd love to see more of him on a street bike for sure! Also I'd love to see some challenges with some other guys on the channel like no corrections, no backpedalling or switch foot! I want to see the riding get weird 😉
I've seen videos labeled 'you wouldn't believe it if it were not on film'. This clip of yours makes most of them look like grade school stuff. Even while watching this clip, it's still hard to believe that he can ride a bicycle up those obstacles. When he's approaching, you're thinking, 'can't be done, no way'. Then he clears it! Amazing, well done.
That was nuts , Jack making everything look so easy and effortless, just floats over everything. Would love to see him do another ride with you but more streety
Jack is just on another level. Been watching him since his mod days. Never fails to impress. While Jack is on the scene, it will always be the world fighting for second place imo.
Ali, I want to say an infinite thanks to you and all your hard work with your channel, riding and advice. You have inspired me to get back into Trials after 18 years. I'm 40 in a couple months but getting back my ability far more quickly than I imagined I could. Yesterday I was on fire, I couldn't make mistakes, it was incredible and I feel alive again!!!
@@AlexButler-ke5gy I certainly did get a trials bike still riding trials and loving it. Almost 43 now. I don't do competitions due to working shifts but I can do expert level sections that we copy from the actual trial events.
This is another one of those super Kool sports that wasn't around when I was a teenager. When I was that age all we had was BMX freestyle, BMX racing, Mountain biking & skateboarding. I did freestyle but I def would have loved bike trial riding. It's totally amazing.
He's insanely flexible and strong (power to weight) for a big guy. Just crazy. Get the feeling he could be world class at most skill based sports, if he tried.
It is stunning to see how fast all of his moves are and the control it has over the bike. I like the no-stop, flowy style he is putting in while moving from an obstacle to another, a mix of power and control that makes him look like dancing. Amazing to see from a trial comp rider, with a long comp bike and rim brakes. Something that could inspire many riders to evolve their way to ride as many UK riders have done during the last decade, including you Ali. Very nice video, shame to see just a few shots with the two of you riding together.
You're very talented a rider, Ali and I already thought your riding looks seamless but watching how refined Jack is on sections is so unreal! Wow. Thanks for showing this side of trials comp riders because you don't get to see this side much outside of the UCI comps on tv.
Great video Ali! Amazing to see such flow on that sort of bike. He rides with such intention, no waiting about and using loads of correction hops to get himself ready. Love it!
Awesome follow-up to your riding in the same spot. What a nice and humble guy Jack is! He’s gor a very flowy, precise, quick and elegant style in my view. Thanks for featuring him, Ali!
Any one who can get to a reasonable standard has done well and obviously put in great effort This skill level is due to great dedication and passion. Brilliant!
I've been looking forward to this, and it was brilliant. Jack Carthy is unbelievable. It's like watching Toni Bou: they make it look so easy! Definitely need a street session on street bikes!
Ali, you've always impressed with your abilities and persistence, but Jack is just on such another level, as you say. I saw the link and it was 27 minutes long and was like WTF, that's long, but have to say, it was a pleasure watching such talent and it passed quite quickly. Before you got to talking about cross over to mountain bikes etc, I was thinking how would he be if you took him out for some trail riding, would the skills transfer easily, so think you guys should hook up and get out on the MTBs as well. Another also, a in detail bike check of his bike and setup. Again, great vid, really shows the level of riding at the top, if you keep hooking up and riding with the likes of him and such others, I think you'll start to improve yourself and might find you're getting stuff you never thought possible before.
I am not a trials rider, just mountain bikes, but wow I can really appreciate how difficult riding that stuff can be. Jack is insanely good. Just watching him pick out his lines, sets up and just goes for it...so good. Great style too, he seems so comfortable on the bike. I didn't think your filming was bad at all but I am no film buff. I did appreciate having more than one angle for the same section. Again, it really helps you appreciate how difficult some of these lines are. Jack's bike is nice but I have to say I love the look of your Hex, I am a sucker for fat tires. Cheers guys!
I remember the year he moved from a mod to 26 and he was already doing big stuff on the 20. Definitely one of the greatest British riders of all time, people should check out his vids on his full susser!
Somehow the algorithm brought me here. I usually watch tennis. But Jack Carthy is a complete other world and league. This is better than tennis! Jack can do on a bike things that I cannot do on foot. He can even do things that my cat is not able to do. Why is Jack not all the time on TV? This sport is way too underappreciated.
Brah WTF??????? FLOATY??? The boy's got bubbles in blood, the word Smooth had no meaning till you showed me Jack. As a mtbiker I've learned a whole range of trials skills because of you and your videos to apply to the trail but that was the MOST technically consistent control of body and bike I have ever seen. Thank you Ps don't knock yourself down your a great rider and better teacher Ali All those names at the end prove it. Roll on brah.
In my town in the early 2000s there was a lil craze for trials bikes. I got a Onza T-Pro for Xmas when I was 12-13, but I was bloody crap on it. I just could not understand how to even bunny hop. I would be better now but I'm 30 and have other commitments. So jelly of someone that can actually do it.
Wow , watching you guys do this reminds me of when I was in my teens and I used to ride trials , always 20” tho , I had Monty’s then got a hans ray gt team trials , I used to love riding but soon past my driving test and lost interest, seeing you guys ride at Shipley makes me want to get a bike again, I’m only ten mins from Shipley , oh Iv just subscribe too, il watching your newest vids after this one ….. hopefully I get a bike soon and we could meet up for a ride 👍🏻
I’m really glad I saw Danny mac’s original films and got obsessed with the sport, proper mtb is a bit much for me as your just going so fast, but trials is such great fun, nice to see what the absolute best rider in the world is like, I may never be like him but I’ll give it a shot!
I've literally only been watching for 14 seconds and I've said, "bloody hell!" twice. Edit: I've now LOL'd several times out of total astonishment. This guy is a future-cyborg mountain goat.
This is insane I grew up in Shipley and have seen Jack in Shipley Glen biking and spoke to him and just watching him scared me and he wasn't even doing anything that crazy, crazy to think I'm pretty sure I've spoke to Jack two or three times while I lived there and now stumbled across this because of a random video on my tiktok fyp and realising it from a 15 second clip was from tiktok, small world I guess.
this guy is unreal! I'm sure his bike weighs next to nothing yet I'm super impressed how he just keeps going and does all these super long lines like it's nothing
This might sound stupid but why isn't he using disk brakes? I thought disk brakes where like a must for trials
Disc brakes have a few disadvantages, they’re heavier, easier to break (rotors are exposed) and they aren’t as precise due to the spoke flex (locking the wheel at the rim stops any unwanted movement). Rim brakes have more bite too and with special pads and a sharp texture on the rim from an angle grinder they work better in the wet too. The down side to a rim brake is the noise and lack of any modulation
@@Ali_Clarkson thanks! I guess I've only experienced cheap crappy rim brakes, I didn't know there could be nice ones
Isnt there like metal on the wheel to make the rim brakes work? Arent rim brakes like disks but on the whole wheel
Sort of, it's a braking track on the wheel, which they grind to make it rougher.
Rim brakes are cheaper, last longer and I never had a problem with their brake power even when it's wet.
This should be an Olympic event. The skill involved here is off the charts.
The Olympics would just corrupt this beautiful sport!!! But I do get the sentiment
Yeah fr
Way too dangerous for the Olympics, and way too cool
I get the feeling that those bikes help them a lot.. cuz I can't believe half of it... it would be imposible on an MTB
@@outdoorstylelife the only diff is there is no seat, and really good brakes, not so wierd or different
I understand the physics behind his movements, but the precision and speed are mind-boggling. He's just a coiled spring with limitless energy.
The bike dude
@@bobbulgi880 The bike didn't make much difference, he could probably hop onto a mountain bike and do mind boggling stuff there as well.
@@xx-----------xx873 not on the same scale i believe
The Human form has incredible potential
He has incredible physical conditioning and balance. That combined with his skill of leveraging the bike makes it look like magic.
Jack just makes everything look so easy, would love to see you do a streety vid with him.
That would be sweet!
I second this Ali, that would be so good!
@@Ali_Clarkson Would really like to see Jack ride a full sus as always thought that was possible to do just as amazing stuff on full sus, but never really got the skills to prove it?
+1 for Jack on the Hex,
Ali teaching him some stuff :)
@@Aljonone1 Jack does a lot of cool stuff on his full suss and e-bike on his Instagram. Think he's sponsored by Orange. Worth checking out if you haven't already!
I feel like I'm watching some of those crazy-ass mountain goats on a discovery channel episode...
Jack: *Gives gravity the finger*
Me: *Makes noises when standing up*
Hopefully not as painful noises as his bike's brakes...
When somebody does fall gravity says welcome friend
@@leftaroundabout The noise is awful, I would never be able to ride these brakes :D
It's so refreshing to see someone so outrageously talented be so humble and down to earth.
How close is the nearest hospital? I'll give the little rocks a try. I didn't even know people did this bike parkour stuff to this degree.
ok tough guy
@@jxmiofficial7691 Did you not get the part where I wouldn't be able to do it and I'd end up in the hospital?
@@lavapix don't worry that person is either dumb, or english is not their first language 😂
@@WillFaustCuber 🤙
Please don’t ever call this parkour
11:03 coolest thing I've ever seen someone do on a bike

He's just so effortlessly stylish as well as amazingly smooth
I've watched this video several times and I still can't get over how easy Jack makes everything look.

Even while watching this clip, it's still hard to believe that he can ride a bicycle up those obstacles. When he's approaching, you're thinking, 'can't be done, no way'. Then he clears it!

Everybody gangsta until jack stands up and realise there was no seat 😂
Man didn't notice that 🤣🤣🤣

Was totally my pleasure!
Bloody hell, what the actual!?Insane skill levels 🤯
Completely modest and mellow ✌🏻
I could watch this all day. What a cool location. I can't get enough of the natural trials stuff. And Jack is the man. So smooth!
Jack's instagram always have mindblowing post🤯. Thanks for making this video. Can't get enough of it. I was one of them who requested for this😄

World's best trials Rider 😱😱😱
Me: "woah this is awesome"
Also me: "HOLY SH*T HE HAS RIMBRAKES"
Theyre better for trials
@@paisu24 why are they better? Weight? I would think disks would be better but then again I don't ride trials.
@@chaseharrison2064 theyve got more power
Those are hydraulic rim brakes,they are better than disks because they can stop the wheel instantly
@@chaseharrison2064 the bigger the disc rotor the bigger the stopping power right ?
Well The rim becomes the rotor, now that's a huge rotor
Can't believe how clean he does everything and of course the size of those moves are unbelievable, great watch, thanks!
Thanks for this video for both of you guys. :) It's allways a pleasure to see Jack and Charlie's riding the way that nobody have ridden before.
That is why he is a world champion! Thanks, Ali!
Thank You, Ali for another inspiring video!
Jack is truly a master of his bike.
Waiting to see him on your infamous Hex. ;)
Any one who can get to a reasonable standard has done well and obviously put in great effort
This skill level is due to great dedication and passion.
Brilliant!
Great video Ali! Mr. Carthy is a beast!
The clean machine!
I was binge watching berm peak and I watched the vid you made with him so I had to check you out
Welcome! :)
Some of those lines are just mind blowing...love this...🙏
Wow he's a Legendary Rider his speed, accuracy and power is off the chart
Amazing to see you riding with Jack! He seems like a really sound guy!
Omg i thought i recognised this area, i used to walk past this spot as a kid all the time when my parents took me walking. Great content guys.
I've been looking forward to this, and it was brilliant. Jack Carthy is unbelievable. It's like watching Toni Bou: they make it look so easy! Definitely need a street session on street bikes!

Stunning. Impossibly high level. Great video Ali and Thank You to Jack Carthy
them bouncing around looks like the pixar lamp XD
i remember watching vincent ride in real life for the first time back in like 2005, mind blown. mind equally blown watching jack on video.
Wow that down angle bunny hop was simply amazing!
This is still so much fun to watch

Congratulations on the 100 thousand subscribers and yes that guy is amazing. Thanks for sharing the video. I enjoyed watching it. 😃👍

These guys: YES
Loved seeing him on the hex. Need more of that!
100k subs bro you deserve it well done I have been watching since 1 and a half k subs jeez you have grown alot
Huge moves! . Jack makes it look so easy execute
I'd like this video 500 times if I could... Thank you so much Carthy, and most of all Ali Clarkson for bringing the HEAT.
That intro already exploded my brain
Me: "looks up precision in the dictionary
Dictionary: "This video"
nice one ali, always a pleasure to watch jack tear up shipley.
Yeah it’s so impressive!
Some people's kids...
Truly incredible.
I really hope the brake manufacture gets this guy an endorsement...

That side hope was not human!! Awesome
Absolute madness
How do you not have over 100k yet, hands down best trials channel.
21:30
How on earth can he be that smooth on a bike. He makes that look like rolling up a curb
On a full rigid at that lol
I go there all the time and I always look for you when I’m there
