- Last week was a bit of a let down, I didn't manage to get a video despite my best efforts.
This week went a lot better (though not perfectly as you'll see in the video) and I managed to have a really fun ride! I hope you enjoy me being back out on the streets again :)
See you next week!

Hi, Algorithm, just letting you know I’m enjoying my new bike. I haven’t tried any gaps, hooks or tail jam whips but everyone loves the colour.
You'll be sending the tricks once you get used to it :)
when I saw this video I was like "this guy can do such awesome things on his bike and... he has a wife - whaaaat?". By the surname I guess it's the wife posting? Then cheers for being an awesome wife!!!
@@mosiowaty1573 sorry to disappoint you but I’m his mother, not his wife! He has the lovely Jane at home, though.
Jibbing on those blocks was soooo good! The control and style on the hex is just beautiful, every little motion looks perfect.
Thanks Frank, I have worked hard on my style so I'm pleased to hear this :)
music 10/10 editing 10/10 filming 10/10 riding 11/10
I like those scores! :D
The section with music was actually good. I liked it. It added a cool feel to the video, a great way to end it.
I'm pleased to hear this, I was pretty gutted when I found out the audio failed so it's nice to know it didn't negatively effect the video :)
@@Ali_Clarkson oh hell no, it didn’t negatively effect it. As a matter of fact, I vote that you end all of your videos with a montage of each best attempts set to music. Great way to set the victory mood and recap each success, signifying the end. If you have a cool fail, toss it in the mix.
Thanks for bringing up the rope spokes I thought for sure you were not. Awesome ridding Ali as always. Thanks for sharing.
No problem, thanks for watching :D
The bench riding was insane. I keep rewinding and watching in slow motion so I can learn. Amazing riding overall. Thanks for another awesome video!
You're welcome :)
That footjam line was well worth it though, really creative combination of moves! These good old trials videos are my favourites!
Talking about Drop and Roll, I will visit London for the first time soon. Small chance but I'm hoping London will be on the menu so I will be able to take a peek at you guys!
Thank you, I'm a bit gutted the best one wasn't caught on camera though haha.
Duncan mentioned the possibility of a London show later this year but I don't have any dates or exact locations sorry
@@Ali_Clarkson Yeah that always sucks! I'll keep an eye on their social media for any announcements!
I’m fixing my hex and Ali just drop a video right now. Perfect combo
perfect timing!
After so many vlogs of you doing street trials you still got me winding back the video on lines thinking how did he do that??
haha I don't know but I'm glad it happened :P
That backwards gap looks absolutely terrifying. That's one for the greatest hits edit. Hopefully the "you're coool" kid goes home and tries some trials moves.
They're not as bad as you'd think...the bench is wide so there's a big landing zone so you can mostly just send it haha
Bro this is so satisfying like the way u jump all the stairs and stuff i need one really
Watching you mate has made really get back into biking all over again many thanks Robert
The music over the Ali C shuffle, such a vibe.
This video is the first ever street trials video I watched. I now own a four play and have watch almost every video you have put out. Thanks for the inspiration and for getting me into trials.
Fakie Nollies down the stair set, whoop ! whoop!
Cheers Troy 👍🏻
I've just realized that trials is my ASMR happy place.
Shall I add some slow quiet voiceovers next time?
that back wheel 180 gap thing was fooking HUGE! Utterly jaw dropping!
Thanks very much! :D
Some great riding here, really interesting to see how many attempts were required for each line.
The footjam line is one of those amazing ones that look beyond comprehension!
more attempts than I'd like...inconsistent is my middle name :P
Hey Ali Clarkson! Those fakie gaps between the benches were phenomenal! Great riding! Great vid! Ride ride ride!
Thanks very much Eric!
I really enjoyed the fat bike lines- but it was nice to see the Hex out on the streets. Great stuff!
Thanks Joel :)
The shots with the background music were quite nice actually. Please do more! 😀👍🚲
Thanks very much Paul :)
Yes it’s awesome to see you whipping out the trial bike again 👍
excillent video as always, love to see some classic street riding
Cheers Jesse :)
Ali with the opposite foot forward. I do all my riding with either foot forward, specifically practicing both, it's great to see someone else doing opposite foot on purpose, seems to be quite rare and I ask all the riders!
it's a rare trait for sure, you have my respect :)
These are my favorite kinds of videos! Love your stuff man
Glad to hear it, thanks for watching :)
I love that you're still rocking the rope spokes
yep! Still going strong :)
Good stuff. I'll have to try some of those practice techniques.
yeah give them a try :D
That kid knows his stuff alright.🚴♂
I love this session on the new benches. You do so many cool lines. Great job, Ali!
love your street videos, ali! this is soo much fun to watch.stay healthy & keep on riding ;)
Thank you...you too!
Nice one, Ali! I see you've made a few changes to the Giant Trials Team, too! Loving the retro builds!
getting lots of comments on the Giant! Yes well spotted, raceline brakes and some Fatty forks...I aught to get back filming on it again!
Your skills amaze me every time
I try my best :D
Classic Glasgow street ride! Great! I see you've put Racelines on the Giant, what was there before? How was it setting those back up? I'd like to see that ridden again, maybe a video with several different types of bikes at one spot?
well spotted, they were added recently (as well as a fatty fork)...to be honest they were a total nightmare to set up and I didn't finish doing it...once I feel up to the task I'll get it finished and get back out on it :)
Love seeing the challenges you throw yourself at, literally! Great you nailed the results, so much determination.
Thanks Roger!
Really enjoyed it!🔥 Sooo nice to see you back on the street bike! worth the wait!😂
Thanks very much!
Lovely video mate! Great pre ride inspiration for me !
Thanks John :)
Pure riding! So good
Thanks John!
What the hex !? Thank you Ali, for uploading new videos. Glad to see you're fine ;-)
Enjoyed that, hex is my dream bike. I've always enjoyed your front wheel moves.
Mind-blowing 🤯
Would love to ride the hawzy replica, never ridden one.
Was fortunate to ride Martyn's Cannondale back in like 2002-3.
Thanks Aaron :) The Giant actually rides really well! I put new brakes and forks on it so I should really get back out on it again
🔥🔥🔥
That foot jam to gap was so slick! I kept thinking it would be rad to cover that gap with a nose press, like pop up to front, endo, then clear the gap off the front wheel backwards, land to back wheel, finish the rotation and ride away... no idea if it's possible, that's a big gap off the front wheel but what do you reckon?
I did consider that move and had a couple of run-ups but that one is another very scary one for me...I think if it was a little drop down to the other bench it would probably go easier but it would take a lot of speed and commitment to do it across this as it is!
Those prismatic decals look sick, makin me all the more stoked for my LB rims to come in
Looking great Ali! Would love to see a brakeless vid. That original brakeless hex vid from away back is always a favorite of mine
maybe I should set up my old hex as a brakeless bike!
@@Ali_Clarkson do it!!!!
i like your excellent smooth technic!
Thanks very much 😀
well done love ya videos bro great to see more trials thou
Thank you :)
Missed this style
Good riding!
You're so good, it's nuts
haha thank you!
And know for my next number, i'd like to return to the classics.... Ali on a Hex👍👍👍
:)
Would be really interesting to see what you'd make of a well designed skate park. We've got a few in London, let me know if you need a camera dude.
This is magnificent riding. As usual.
Sick video as ever Ali.
Thanks Jon :)
For somebody who hates footjam whips, you sure make them look smooth!
good times
That hook. Awesome what those pedals I’m surprised the wall stayed up LOL 52 tries for that tap wow and practically spent an hour and a half on the foot-jam Whip Just shows how dedicated you are for one move I would give up at three Fairplay BRO
Thanks Ashley :)
You’re welcome hope you are enjoying the nice sunny weather it’s about time the UK had a bank holiday weekend with some sunshine
@@ashleytombs it's nice isn't it! Perfect for some paint to dry on a frame ;)
Awesome!
Thank you :)
Full send 😮😬
do you ride to areas? would it be weird to have really long seatpost and riding saddle for transit and then change to small seat
yeah, I tend to ride around the city. TBF just standing and pedalling isn't that bad, if I get to a downhill I can still sit down etc
lovely!
Thank you :)
I'm sick, it's night time, I have an unsuitable bike and no skill or commitment… and this still makes me want to ride street trials.
When you ride, do you always cover your front brake? I have gotten into a habit of only covering my front brake if I am about to front wheel hop or 180 pivot or something. Should I try to break that habit?
No I only cover the brake if I’m about to use it. Even if I need to use it half way through a move I’ll not cover it until I’m just about to use it and then I’ll release my finger from the grip. I think most riders do cover both brakes at all times so I’m a bit odd doing this
What gear ratio do you run on this bike?
Good to see some nice street trials. Great riding as always.
I run 22 up front and 18 in the rear :) Thank you
Great ride alli please get Duncan s new bike on the channel :)
I'll have to get some brightness filters for my camera to cope with his paintjob haha
Bleeding talent
Thank you!
Its always surprising to me that people walking by don't stop to watch this kind of stuff.
Just Britishness I think, people either aren't impressed or if they are they don't want to show it. It's funny because I do get some attention but it's often from tourists :P
Nice grettings from Sicily 😀
Thanks Lukas :)
What tyres are running on that bike
I wanna do trial riding so bad but don't have enough money to throw at one, though im a bmx rider i was wondering if anyone had any tips to practice trials on bmx somehow?
Hi Ali, have you done a vid for absolute beginners? who want to have a bit of fun with what they already have like a bmx or hard tail mountain bike.
How often do you change the chain?
I'm lucky enough to be sponsored and get new kit fairly regularly so I often change my chain when I get a new frame which is once a year
@@Ali_Clarkson hey man thanks a lot for replying, I actually ride a dirtjumper but i do a lot of street stuff and i need a strong chain rather than a light one and the z1ehx sounds like a really good chain, what is your opinion?
@@subforascoobysnack6460 very good chain! It’s what I use and I haven’t broken one yet
@@Ali_Clarkson hey man thanks a lot for the heads up, I'll make sure to give the chain a shot!!!
Hope the camera isn't an expensive fix. The finale with the music was lovely though.
Thanks David, just needed to replace a damaged mic cable so not too bad!
You are cool!
What psi do you run?
#thebest
😁🤘🏻
You should make a full time video, with you sticking tricks with only music in the background. The music part worked well
To get enough good clips for a multi-min video would take a few days at least, I'm afraid that would interfere with my vlog schedule and that's may main income :(
If you go to germany pls let me know. Most inspiring guy. Weiter so. Grüße
No plans just now but I'll be back at some point I'm sure :)
Can you show us the hope pro 4 hub hack
should hopefully be doing that soon...I am waiting until I go back down to Tartybikes as it's Adam who'll be doing it
Has anyone else noticed how big Ali's forearms are? also love your videos Ali
Trials riding does develop the upper body quite a lot…legs less so!
Ali where can I get a hex like yours?
www.tartybikes.co.uk is an Inspired dealer and would be an excellent option :)
✌🤟Greate Alli
Why skinny tires???
I got used to the fat bike 😂😂
Aww shame about your camera. Sounds like a lead has just come loose. I don't think it would to too difficult to fix if you can get it open. Is it a gopro?
Nice tricks BTW!
it landed right on the cable where it enters the camera...fortunately the camera was fine but I did need to replace the cable...it's a Canon so I was pretty happy it was just the cable :P
Yoooo0o0o0o0o0o, I got my fat bike hub fixed. Now I need an axle.. lol
Insane entertainly
:)
Hi Al, you would of got that hook first attempt on the fattie I’m sure!! Lol.. no seriously great video as always but don’t leave that beautiful fat bike in the garage to long👍🤟
there wouldn't be any wall left if I tried it on the fatty haha!
Lol. “To lazy to count the tries” says the guy who whose not too lazy to try a move over a hundred times. Nice edit.
haha fair point :P
More fat bike stuff!
bugger about your camera - is it fixable..?
can I pluck just one of your beards? maybe that helps me do some of your powers.... Super Nice!
like Sonic? lol!
@@Ali_Clarkson 😁
Is or Are?
I thought you was from America but it looks like United Kingdom
nope, I'm English living in Scotland
Cool I'm English too I think your the only English man to be in to mountain biking
@@Nicolas.Drives I agree
*Euan beaden style" is not trials biking. Discuss....
Hey bro, love ur content, unsolicited advice incoming 📨: I think the algorithm might reward you for splitting up the riding and the vlogs. One tight edit of the riding and process, and one vlog with ur wonderful personality, maybe like a behind the scenes/vlogb so u can use the same footage . Have a nice day
I actually tried that a couple of years ago...I'd make a vlog and then an edited "highlights" video like a mini edit. I had the same thought process as you but I actually found each video ended up doing worse, almost like I was over saturating the channel
@@Ali_Clarkson interesting! yeah i am definitely not the expert haha
excillent video as always, love to see some classic street riding
