    The height of drops are so insane, I went off a drop(tbh I jumped off it not really dropped from a stand still but still) about 1.4m or 1.6m(biggest drop I could find in my area to flat) when I was riding street the other day, it felt f*ckin big on my big ass 29" 100mm travel hardtail, here comes Ali on his little 26" wheeled trials bike dropping of things like 3x to 4x as big like its nothing,like dude, the commitment to also dropping of something like this too, good job Ali.
    Edit:grammar

    Nice to see people watching and clapping rather than complaining. I can see how skateboarders can bring out the Karens- they travel in packs, cause damage grinding while your tires cause none and, runaway boards are dangerous while you maintain constant control of your bike. Another sweet vid, bro.

    • @devononair
      @devononair 3 года назад

      Certainly very different from when I used to ride trials! Ironically, in my town, the best place was outside the police station! No people around, great obstacles, and the police, unlike most people, realised it's not a crime to do stunts.

    Brilliant. Being a Blackpool local it's nuts to see some of the drops your doing. And then going back up. I've seen a few people ride the ledges and moon rocks along the prom, but not as smooth as this. And yes, i agree with you about the stag do's and hen do's. Blackpool would be a great place if it was't for some of the anti-social drunk and disorderly. Come back on a clear, dry day in February and you'll have the prom to yourself. Thanks for sharing.

    I attended a patient who had been running away from the police along the prom and chose to jump over the wall at that point. His ankle was a bit squishy when I arrived to treat him. He was lucky because the tide was out.
    On the day you were filming, I was on enforced Self Isolation and the weather was exceptionally plesant. Now I'm back at work the Illuminations storms have kicked in.
    If you ever make your way back to town, maybe you'd allow me to film you?
