@@joeldriver381 I could get down a lot those boulders with anything from a trailbike and up, but on those wrist snapping, no grip trials bikes that are as stable at speed as an running amputy hell no, I won't survive at all
Hey Ali, i have spent the last few years getting gradually away from dangerous double black Diamond grnarly free-ride trails by getting more and more Into trials. In major part thanks to you! You've been a great source of inspiration. But now, after watching this video, I guess it will be time to hit those old free-ride trails again... With a trials bike instead of my full-squish😬😂🤣. Jokes apart, I have finally made the Leap🤪!!! I bought myself an Inspired Hex 2020 from tartybikes🤘! It's scheduled to arrive tomorrow (i am in Canada). I don't Think i will be able to sleep tonight. Keep up with the inspiration man!!!
@@Ali_Clarkson Thanks for asking Ali 🤘. Unfortunately, it’s been stalled at the airport’s custom a few hours on Friday. Just enough to miss the delivery truck 🤬. Damned FedEx. Anyway, since Monday is a holiday here in Canada, they will deliver the bike only Thursday😩.
thats about as hardcore as trials get i can confidently say that i'd be scared to even stand near the edges of those massive rocks let alone do any sorts of precise jumping. but then again im scared of heights and different scenarios trigger the anxiety in different ways. sometimes im fine being 15m above the ground and sometimes 1.5m makes me feel dizzy and uneasy. mad respect to you
@@Ali_Clarkson keep it up, i feel like you're really underrated, all the glory seems to just go to the other big guys, which feels a bit unfair. they are more "public" and hence popular, but you don't seem to be very far off in terms of skills. i hope your channel catches the wind it deserves. your in-depth comprehension and abilities to pass the knowledge about tricks and such, is next to none as well. and you're a very humble and likeable character. consider this a congratulation on 100k subs. you're amazing, stay motivated and keep working hard even when it gets tough. cheers
Sketchy AF terrain, yet your amazing balance, skill, strength, and fearlessness make the video look so easy as opposed to a “fifty ways to get horribly injured whilst riding bicycles” video. 😎👍🏻
you gave me the goosebumps Ali, those rolldowns will put MTBers to shame, me included. Much 'Respect' for your audacious and brave commitment to riding.
Great to see you riding the Hex again! Wow such a beautiful place. The GoPro never properly conveys the risk or scale... Very nice alternate camera angles showing the real danger and skill required. Great riding and video! 500 to go to 100k!
Amazing riding as always! Impressiv lines you did, I would be scared just bei looking at those big rocks xD Continue the good work, it keep's us motivated!!
Spectacular, Ali, in every way! No wonder it was scary and horrible. You were bending physics here! I could have kept watching on and on. Great episode!
I've been watching MTB videos for the past 3 or 4 months since I have rediscovered mountain biking,why have I only discovered you today?! Wow man, you deserve so many more subs!! So much skill and nerve!! New follower from Leeds!👍✌️
Actually ridiculous riding level! Haven't seen that stuff by jack before, roll outs and easy roll ups on your hex are epic! The nosey down rock is absolutely gorgeous, Good work
Thanks Frank, I think with the way Jack has his bike set up he’s sacrificed roll-down ability for better static moves, I certainly wouldn’t do these roll-downs with his bike!
I hit a dirt jump (w/ a hard stone run out) and missed getting a foot back on 2 weeks ago on my trail bike while out completely alone in the woods. Had just enough adrenaline to phone my family and tell them what happened (they know the jump track as I showed them prior) between the ringing subsiding and before I forgot what day it was! half face helmet is toast but 100% saved my life. ended up breaking a bone in my wrist into 3 pieces as well as elbow fracture/ multiple cracked ribs/concussion. I've ridden alone for 20 years and consider myself an expert bike handler but I fucked up 1 time on a jump I've ridden over 100 times. It's ALWAYS worth having some device like a hands free phone or a location update for Friends and family (there are even apps where if your phone senses abrupt jolts and then zero movement it will contact an emergency phone no) Lets say I'm reconsidering my previous choices big time now. Stay safe people it can and will go sideways at some point! It will never stop me from it as I don't know many others who like to ride daily but I'm for sure going to tell my immediate circle of every place I ride from now on. Not trying to be a downer or jinx anything but I think we can often think lightning will never strike...Be prepared when it does.
Great video, as always! I'm hoping to do some trials on rocks soon, maybe just a bit on the smaller scale :D Hopefully you'll hit 100k this weekend, would be so cool to see.
Ah, my old trials stomping ground many moons ago, happy memories! Used to ride some of those lines you were doing, not always successful mind, bloody steep scary drops off the other side! ;) Great riding though!
Really admire your trials skills on the street bike! It’s amazing seeing you clean all those rocks with such a geo! Great riding and rider, can’t wait for the video together with Jack 😃💪🏻
That was some crazy stuff Ali, really great riding, but I think you did yourself a disservice with the angle on the last steep roll down, maybe should try it again from the side instead of front on, as to me looked like it was pretty damn close to vertical.
Great upload, watching all your riding really takes me back to when I tried to do this on my Pashley many years ago. I could never ride anything this epic though but would love to try again if I ever got a suitable bike again.
Well that made my palms sweaty, some of those roll downs look like they would be scary on a full dh bike (if it were even possible to get to them on one). Nice one!
I can't believe it's finally happening! I remember you tossing that idea out in the comments after I suggested you'd be back on the comp circuit from my personal account months ago and I've been losing my mind thinking about it ever since! SO STOKED TO SEE YOU AND JACK RIDE TOGETHER! Don't mean to let that overshadow how sick this session was though, that gap line was GROSS! Not to mention literally everything else. The hooks were firing!
"Yeah, that was disgusting" the movie. I think I was complaining quite recently, that I haven't seen properly scary horror movie in long time. Now I have. It's bit like Alien, seemless blend of super scary and super beatiful / elegant. Pardon me, I seem to be in the need of fresh pants.
Ali Clarkson the video does this no justice these rocks are massive I’m fairly local to them I know how big they really are some serious balls doing that well done pal
last time I rode there on a rigid, pedal strike, went down, hit my bars on a rock and spun the opposite bar end into my eye socket. good job I was wearing safety specs 👓 still plenty of bruising and bleeding tho!
Natural is class ! With your camper you should go for a trip to Fontainebleau (FR) you would have lines like that for years and just bumming in the forest with the camper. Many lines are used by climbers but there is still a lot more that could be used for Trials.
Ali,I have a question for either you or Adam.. Did Bianchi buy out crescent? I remember being at the Red Bull bike battle in Nottingham, with sam wheeler, Jon fisher, Tarty (Adam) and a few others. One of the riders in the competition (may even have been jj gregorowicz.. sp?) was on a Bianchi, but it looked like a crescent, even had the chequered design around the seat area that the newer orange and black crescents had, but it was white and mint green paint job, with Bianchi on it. I think it was tarty who mentioned they bought crescent, but I'm not sure? Or was it a case of him riding a crescent re branded as a Bianchi due to them not having a trials frame? Sorry it's such a long question! Cheers
Ali could you possibly make us a little video or insert into a video abit about how to improve on doing the reverse nose manuals that you and Danny can do please,even just some tips how to improve at them thanks dude keep up the sick content!!👍🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🔥🔥🚲
When I see how long distance you go over doing your kicks and gaps... I just go crazy!! People are trying to make a 40 sm bunny hops, while you're traveling like 10 miles with 1 kick LOL
That helmet cam really doesn’t do it justice. That second angle really shows how crazy it is. All helmet cam drops look like they are 2-3 feet instead of +6 when filmed further away.
Thanks Ali C! Such a good content m8! if I didn't dislocated my arm last month, which I was involved on motorcycle accident, not trials ironically, prolly I might have built trial bike rite now :(
Should I ride Shipley on a comp trials bike or MTB next time I go?
MTB
Somehow I was thinking to do it on Raleigh Chopper like Sam did, but forget it. I wasn't thinking straight 😂
Comp trials
Ah man, I'd love to see what you can come up with in those rocks on an MTB! This video was wicked, Ali. Great riding and some nutty lines, haha
Comp trials
Bloody hell Ali, got nervous watching you on that top section! Serious skill and nerve!
Thanks dude, having confidence it’s not going to go wrong sure does help but there’s always a little voice that tells you not to do it haha
Just this one spot is perfect for a full on video edit, like a proper vid. Such a nice and unique location
It never gets old, been riding there for years and new stuff always gets found
Definetly! I wanted to write the same.
What Trials riders see: A kicker
What everyone else sees: a pebble
Start trials and never see the world the same way again!
Ali Clarkson true, but only due to my stupid ass who will be getting concussions all the time
Ali Clarkson but holy shit! Your only .5k away from 100! Get there soon dude
Yeah- I would need a ramp at least half the size of those boulders and a good run up. Oh- and the down from the other side is a whole different issue.
@@joeldriver381 I could get down a lot those boulders with anything from a trailbike and up, but on those wrist snapping, no grip trials bikes that are as stable at speed as an running amputy hell no, I won't survive at all
What an amazing video. Made me nervous just watching it. Especially like the nose manual
Thanks James, that line is one of my faves too :)

My deepest bow to your talent, Ali! I admire! Thanks for filming and sharing!
Thanks dude!
It makes me mad that you don’t even have 100k subs. You’re so good! Honestly one of the best trials riders I’ve ever watched 🙌🙌👍👍
Slow and steady is the name of the game, I’ve got quality subscribers who are all awesome rather than millions who don’t really care :)
@@Ali_Clarkson .. it's actually looking like 100k any day now ... CONGRATS BRO
its 111 now！
I lost track of how many times I held my breath watching some of those lines!!
This is a good sign haha
you gave me the goosebumps Ali, those rolldowns will put MTBers to shame, me included. Much 'Respect' for your audacious and brave commitment to riding.
You and Pat Smage are my favorites. So much skill, patience and control. Gorgeous ability. Keep going my dude.

Just insane !
Thanks!
This has to be my favourite video of yours so far! Beautiful environment and awesome lines, I'm a roadie but this makes me want to get into trials.
Thanks Mika, this is one of my faves too :)
Amazing riding as always! Impressiv lines you did, I would be scared just bei looking at those big rocks xD
Continue the good work, it keep's us motivated!!

FINALY ! The Hex is back ! Bang bang
My butt clenched a few times while watching. Mossy rocks and logs are the scariest things, I remember some painful encounters myself. Nice vid!
Thanks man :)
having the confidence to keep hitting stuff link that, by yourself, is mind blowing! unreal riding mate.
I just try not to think about the potentially horrible crash I could have haha

I almost never comment on any videos, but this was truly amazing! Mega lines, great scenery, super aesthetic lines and just over all great work.
That's a amazing video Ali. You truly seemed to be enjoying the excitement of riding and doing the videography. Thanks 👍
Glad you enjoyed it Michael, I certainly enjoyed making it :)
Scary af Ali!! Amazing display of skills...loved this video...I'd say keep riding on the Hex...best bike ever!!😎
Cheers man, will do!
Great video, as always! I'm hoping to do some trials on rocks soon, maybe just a bit on the smaller scale :D
Hopefully you'll hit 100k this weekend, would be so cool to see.
Definitely give the rocks a try, they help hone the skills more than any other type of riding!
100k won’t happen this weekend but maybe before next :)
This place looks so good for the full sus, though the downhill you did on the trails bike was still very impressive 😅
Chris Akrigg has proven its great for the full suss bike :D
WOW! ...Some amazing riding. Thank you for filming bike trials in interesting places. Really appreciate the effort. Top notch vlog.
Keep up the good work Ali! I am glad that you are almost at 100K subscribers! You definitely deserve it!
Loving the combination of onboard camera and commentary with the wide view.
Thanks Josh :)
Man this was actualy thrilling, i legit had my palms sweaty. Good stuff
Cheers buddy 👍🏻
hooking up with jack carthy, sweet mate, looking forward to that one.

some gnarly stuff. Props to you Ali!

You are so close to 100k! I feel privileged to see your journey.
Wow !! Some seriously tech lines !! Amazing riding !! 👍
Thanks Simon :)
Full respect, absolutely awesome!
Thanks Jake :)
Looked amazing even thru a climbers eyes. Sick vid as always lad
Thanks dude :)

Thanks dude! I was a bit limited with positions I could put the camera, it got blocked by other rocks in other places
I'm impressed! I thought you would never be able to get up that rock!
Great upload, watching all your riding really takes me back to when I tried to do this on my Pashley many years ago. I could never ride anything this epic though but would love to try again if I ever got a suitable bike again.
Get yourself a Hex :D
@@Ali_Clarkson I'd love to if I ever got the spare £. Keep up the great riding.
Your Trial skill is so intense🤯 really good👊🏼
Thanks Bruno, I was a competition rider before I went to street :)
Man that massive mossy rock line was amazing!!!!!
Yeah well you just kept on hitting massive mossy rock lines til the end, so I guess you have no clue which one I was referring to!! ;p
PissedOffCil haha!
Sorry for saying this but, this is one of your best vlogs since a long time :) I realy enjoyed it. Your camera and presentation was super.
Ok... I'm a mountain biker and actually got a shot of "fear induced adrenaline" watching your video! Great video thanks!
This pleases me :)
Rides bike for 3 hours, comes home exhausted.
Watches Ali Clarkson video.
Itching to go out riding again...
This is great to hear it has this effect :D
One of the best vids yet!!!
Thanks dude!
Crazy awesome riding Ali, Wow! Thanks, D
Awesome. Great to see you back on the Hex.
Ali: Wish me luck guys.
You don’t need it...you’re an amazing rider!
Well that made my palms sweaty, some of those roll downs look like they would be scary on a full dh bike (if it were even possible to get to them on one). Nice one!
The quality of the video and the audio is just 🔥🔥🔥🔥😍😍😍
Downhill BIKETRIALS by AliC ). Looks so so baaaaad...so scary!!! Wow! Be careful, that was nice!
Thanks buddy!
I came on my other account just to give it a extra view and like, because this content deserves it!!! 100k subs easy👌.
Aw thanks dude!
Great work Ali 👌scary stuff

Lol! Good to hear :p
Some grim lines this video, felt nervous just watching. Great riding 👍
Back on Hex! Nice!!!
Yep, couple more videos already filmed on the Hex too, just need to edit them :)
awesome video lad !
Thank you :)
Awesome ghost feeble you had there around 5:27 after hooking a rock.
On the edge of grip!
pls don't die
thx
I promise I’ll never die

You may be joking about Rampage on a trials bike but I would absolutely love to see some trials moves in that landscape!
Great to see you back in Yorkshire!
That was nuts dude! Insane skills 🙌
Seriously cool shot at 6:40
Thanks Hamish :)

That sounds horrible!!
@@Ali_Clarkson had to ask a passer by to help get my bike off me and put a dressing on... then i rode the 15 miles home 😀🤕
What a brilliant riding!

I think once restrictions are lifted a trip to France would be awesome!
Just please check you’re not riding on climbing lines.
Love this natural stuff!! It's almost mountainbiking :-p
Epic like last time
Thanks Jude!
Your one of the most under rated RUclipsrs
Gonna have to have a look around here for nice tech trails to ride... used to go to Baildon every weekend with my folks when I was a nipper...
6:32 when you see how much high the rock is
This video deserves more views.
It might get more as time goes on :)
Those hooks and drops were insane!
Your looking better on the hex the last 2 weeks a full run of the best bits would be cool
Thank you :) I’ve made a highlight video which I’ll post on Instagram once this video has run it’s course :)

Yes I believe they did 👍🏻
That upto front to endo down was sick! It's crazy how action cameras makes some stuff look small when compared to the main camera!
You're a legend on a bike dude - I'd be scared to do that drop on my DH bike!
WOH SKETCHY STUFF...
pls don't hurt yourself 😮 that's insane, very good riding tho 🙂👍
I’ll try!
nice to see you out and about again Ali. been a long time since you made one of those good how to videos. just a thought XD
I feel like your channel is so underated
I am so massively jealous that you can just ride trials all day, every day!
Ali could you possibly make us a little video or insert into a video abit about how to improve on doing the reverse nose manuals that you and Danny can do please,even just some tips how to improve at them thanks dude keep up the sick content!!👍🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🔥🔥🚲
When I get them dialed I’ll share how to do them, currently I’m VERY inconsistent! They’re something I’ve always struggled to get good at
I related more to the first five seconds than the rest of the video! 😜
When I see how long distance you go over doing your kicks and gaps... I just go crazy!!
People are trying to make a 40 sm bunny hops, while you're traveling like 10 miles with 1 kick LOL
(Re-commenting from Patreon) HOLY SWEET MOTHER OF GOPRO EFFECT
Thanks Coy :)
That helmet cam really doesn’t do it justice. That second angle really shows how crazy it is.
All helmet cam drops look like they are 2-3 feet instead of +6 when filmed further away.
Yeah it’s a shame, I’m glad I had the other camera to compliment the GoPro shots
I can go down that way because I'll just die
