Riding With The Best Trials Rider In The World : Jack Carthy
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 30 июн 2024
- After filming my Hex video in the morning I had 30 mins rest before Jack Carthy turned up for an afternoon ride.
I've known Jack since he was knee high, I'd bump into him here at Shipley Glen with his dad and at competitions. Jack's always had a talent for riding and acquired good techniques from a young age. Now he's grown up he's evolved his riding and invented new techniques and changed how trials bikes are built and setup. Jack paved the way for a new age of riding and everyone has tried to emulate his setup and riding style but none have quite matched him.
Jack is an 8 times world champion and is still in his early-mid 20s, he's got a couple of competitors but is still in a league of his own.
I've seen Jack's riding before and on TV at the competitions but I still get blown away when I see him ride, the size of the moves he's doing is actually insane! He's getting up rocks we'd never even consider in our wildest dreams when I was riding here regularly 10-15 years ago. I'm also really impressed with his ability to flow across the rocks on a bike that I can barely even ride.
So yeah, Jack is good and I tried my best to capture his riding but he's a hard man to film as you never know where he's going next!

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: *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
I feel like I'm watching some of those crazy-ass mountain goats on a discovery channel episode...
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!
11:03 coolest thing I've ever seen someone do on a bike
It's so refreshing to see someone so outrageously talented be so humble and down to earth.
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 😉
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
Everybody gangsta until jack stands up and realise there was no seat 😂
Man didn't notice that 🤣🤣🤣
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.
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.
He's just so effortlessly stylish as well as amazingly smooth
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
I've watched this video several times and I still can't get over how easy Jack makes everything look.
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.
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!!!
Are you still riding?
@@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.
@@jonbraid2520 you should upload a few videos
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.
Can't believe how clean he does everything and of course the size of those moves are unbelievable, great watch, thanks!
Thank You, Ali for another inspiring video!
Jack is truly a master of his bike.
Waiting to see him on your infamous Hex. ;)
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.
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!
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!
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!
Jack is such an amazing rider! Thank you very much for producing this video an documenting everything!!
Was totally my pleasure!
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.
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😄
Eye-poppingly incredible riding, I'll be checking out more of Jack for sure! Would love to see you both in a street trials vid! Cheers
this was a fabulous upload. it is truly impressive to watch such talent at work..
Stunning. Impossibly high level. Great video Ali and Thank You to Jack Carthy
Amazing to see you riding with Jack! He seems like a really sound guy!
Bloody hell, what the actual!?Insane skill levels 🤯
Completely modest and mellow ✌🏻
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.
Congratulations on the 100 thousand subscribers and yes that guy is amazing. Thanks for sharing the video. I enjoyed watching it. 😃👍
Great video Ali! Mr. Carthy is a beast!
The clean machine!
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
Some of those lines are just mind blowing...love this...🙏
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!
great video Ali, really enjoyed it, you are both great riders
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.
Man I love watching people that are the best at what they do. Unbelievable!
World's best trials Rider 😱😱😱
Jack is such a humble bloke. Fantastic riding. Great work on the vid Ali 👍😎
100k subs bro you deserve it well done I have been watching since 1 and a half k subs jeez you have grown alot
Excellent video Ali...thankyou for being you..
joy to watch. so much power
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.
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!
Wow.
Skillz. Amazing control over the bike. Pin point placement and smooth flow. Another completely higher level.
God, truly next level consistency.
Awesome video!!! Loved the tree up to front 🔥
Brilliant video as usual Ali!
This is still so much fun to watch
Loved seeing him on the hex. Need more of that!
Amazing riding !!!!!!!! Genuinely jaw dropping !!!
Heck yes! Congrats to the 100k Ali 🎉
great video. dont sell yourself short.
Both great riders.
Jack is in the flow💪
Jack made his own style...I was been few times on world cup and that was a pleasure to see him on live and speak with him.. He is so fast on bike !
Congrats to the 100k subscribers!
Just incredible to watch Jack do his thing and make it look so easy, which we no it is not. Brilliant Ali. Thanks for sharing. Wow where the spot?
Wow that down angle bunny hop was simply amazing!
Congrats on 100k subs! Keep it up Ali
That is why he is a world champion! Thanks, Ali!
seriously amazing to watch
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!
Madness, that was insane riding👍👍👍
Very informative, thanks sharing and making those videos,, 🙂
Great VFX. It looks like Jack is actually hopping around those rocks like crazy!!!
:-)
Just incredible to watch.
Brilliant. Amazing what you guys do on bikes. Jump on anything and ride👍👌👌👍
How do you not have over 100k yet, hands down best trials channel.
Congrats on just hitting 100 000 subs!
I just cannot belive how softly he lands every time.
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!
Wow he's a Legendary Rider his speed, accuracy and power is off the chart
Love your videos Ali!!!
I was binge watching berm peak and I watched the vid you made with him so I had to check you out
Welcome! :)
Wow, that's jaw dropping skill!
Great vid.
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 👍🏻
Awesome!
Another unreal video mate. You are killing it. Such inspiring riding. Makes me want to dig out the old zero. Have you ever thought of doing a retro video on an orange zero?
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!
You guys are.amazingggg
Crazy how much this sport has progressed!
No worries Ali, the videos were immaculate and as rock steady as your cycling👍👍👏👏😊
I don't understand, how I get here, but it looks like you have to put so much effort in to be at this lvl. Well done!
Your filming is great, mate.
You guys are great at this talent.
Ok, the first 15 seconds already blew my mind!
Huge moves! . Jack makes it look so easy execute
nice one ali, always a pleasure to watch jack tear up shipley.
Yeah it’s so impressive!
Great Vid. Cheers Ali 👍
Thanks dude :)
Amazing!
This blows my mind! I can't believe this can be done with a bicycle!
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.
Outrageous!!!
He seems to find grip where it seems there is none. Amazing!
Camera work is great with me. Appreciate your dedication to perfection in all endeavours though😁
