I look forward to watching that. Checked the first 5 minutes. Jeez 1971, I was 10! Holy cow, that kid doing the wheelie without a shirt or helmet probably only has pedal brakes. I wish I had a bike like that when I was a kid. All I had was a crappy Raleigh 20 with a banana seat. I kept breaking the axels on it.Woohoo!
Also interesting, Mert Lawwill, one of the main subjects of this film, was later well know for designing Lawwill DH-9 full-suspension downhill bike
They're all basic bikes
. I had a malvern star dragster, 2nd hand, with a 3 speed sturmey archer. I saw one kid in that film shove his thonged (aka flip flops in some parts) foot onto the front wheel for braking - no one would know that now . Lots of bikes didn't have brakes - or kids didn't know how to maintain them.

At one stage I had a hack bike we built / found that didn't have any brakes. We got very good a drifting to stop. The roads weren't sealed so it was pretty easy. That went well till my friend came down the hill and went to throw the back out to stop. Unfortunately he carved a beautifull turn and drove through the neighbors fence. Demolishing the fence, and the front forks at the same time!!
?I did a similar think; screaming down a dirt road of a new development - big ditch at the bottom for something. I ended up in the ditchI was one of those.

. I used to try and take my dragster over jumps - didn't know anything. Those bars are just a huge lever - they'd end up horizontal forward or back . It was common practice to dink your mate sitting in the bottom of those bars too.

Man and machine... will always find a way...
This really made me laugh. The guy says very little, just smiles. His wife at one point peaks at about 200 words a minute, and has time for the classic "va fungool", including the gesture . It's funny at the end when they both realise there's a camera in the car.

That was very humbling !!! Need to watch it about 10 more times ..Picture this:
No doubles, no tabletops no groomed berms. Who needs more climbing trails? We need more climbing waterstreams
If I had red spokes all that would be a doddlePicture this:

That's awesome!
Any idea where it is? Looks like somewhere in the Peak District.

Impressive shit...

The locations were mostly in Yorkshire, UK. All pretty much on my doorstep and most were motorcycle trials spots that I've ridden loads over the years.
As quoted from pinkbike.
Were they really? That elitist fucker!

Nice follow up :
Spend happy tech craving Ebikers could learn an awful lot from Remy's attitude
watch it again and this time pay attention to how little he brakes, that's flow. infact it's a masterclass in it.

I recon the city council civil engineers in that area take into account that Danny is around... and design public stairway balustrades to be able to withstand the weight and impact of a human cycling grasshoppers. Those handrails are waaay over spec'd!
