Norco Manifesto First Ride : Pretending To Be Ryan Leech
Вставка
- Опубліковано 30 лип 2020
- Since building this Norco Manifesto (and I know technically the model after this was the Manifesto) I've been catching up on some Ryan Leech videos getting inspiration for this weeks video.
Ryan started a whole movement in trials known as Manifesto (hence the bike name) where he eliminated correction hops. This makes trials look extremely smooth and controlled but is EXTREMELY hard to do.
I always try to eliminate correction hops but on this bike I had to try even harder, riding a bike I've never ridden before, with suspension and trying to do stuff that looked impressive took a loooong time to film which is why the whole video is only on three rocks. I'm happy with what I got though!
If you want to see the build video then check it out here:

Why dose this
Mans have less than 100k subs when he is a legend
share his clips then. help him get more :)
flo dinu true i will
Ali Clarkson no problem keep up the good work
there's many factors to be popular.
Removing the hops makes such a big difference in the flow of the lines. Love it! 97.5k getting close!!!
Dude. You’re AMAZING. want my old schwinn? Lol
He didn't even ride it properly, he didn't dent the top tube with his nuts!
@@AlexSalikan evolve?
Lololol. True!
ha ha almost forgotten you, you and ryan leech was the names i heard first time i encountered trial. watching those Vhs tapes of you guys back n the days
I will tame it
WoW IMPRESSIVE ALI !! Manifesto FINALLY manifested !!!
Ryan's famous 'Railroad to Rail' line was actually filmed in two different days, and we both got fined $500cdn for hanging out on an active railroad... ;P lol I believe Ryan's heritage is from the UK, you could say it went full REVOLUTION.
I dont know alis uplode sceduel but im happy when he does
every Friday dude.
Nice spelling
@@rufushayday6990 well i am on mobile without autocorrect
I love Ryan Leech he´s a legend!!
Same
You should definitely keep doing these retro builds. Maybe turn it into a build, ride and review series. Its cool seeing older bikes being ridden again.
No hops just flow! Ryan Leech was my idol too. It is now 10 years ago and I trained really hard. Now I am 40 and still love riding trials. My little sons are trying to do the same stuff on their little bikes and thats so much fun for me to see them copiing what I try.
With a shorter stem it would look a lot like a dirt jumper
And a larger chain ring imo
ali is changing his bike more often than me going for a ride :|
Your videos made me build an old trek frame into a trials bike.
it's amazing how much effort you put into your videos, congratulations
Even when you were standing beside that rock I was thinking wasn’t that in a really early video 🤙
Ridden with Ryan Leech a few times back in his hay day. First time I met him he was riding his signature titanium Norco team trials frame with custom low travel Marzocchi's. Amazing dude. I love how riding this bike transcended your riding style!! Full Leech hook to front wheel, reverse nose wheelie out to smash the concrete. 😆
Love you're content, Keep up the good work Ali!!! 🤘
I think that might be some of your best riding. I really enjoyed it. So good. I'd love to see "only make" cuts of your videos. It's cool seeing all the work that goes in to getting the moves, but it would be great to have a "supercut" of all the nailed attempts.
Really love recently you made videos about unspecific bike for trials..great ali c !
I think you nailed his style! Great video Ali!
All your videos are amazing, educational, and entertaining! You rock, Ali! 😎👊🏻
Great effort! I remember when Manifesto came and I tried duplicating some of the moves I could already do and realizing how much more difficult it really was without correctional hops.
Nice job Ali! 🚴👍
That was my favourite way I’ve seen you ride so far, I like the lines you took just seemed a little more street like the man himself.
Ryan inspired the late 90s riders as a generation. Back then specialzied trials bike was available (no seat, no gear change), but not many people had it. He proved to us all that our daily ride to school mountain bike can also make moves with just some modificatioin. Bashguard, low seat, 33 in the back, less cogs, 1 chainring in the front ... This is still my prefered setup for a practical bike. Thank you Ali for proving this again.
Ryan was one of my favourite riders when I was younger I think I still have a couple of his DVDs somewhere. Nice build and great riding a brilliant display of Ryan's 'manifesto'.
Wow! Amazing persistence... Looks like a couple of beautiful days, too.
Ryan Leech was my hero after popping in a VHS tape and seeing some stuff I thought was impossible. Super cool to build the bike and do the style Ali. Props for always setting yourself such hard challenges and not just moving on. I feel like that captures the real essence of what trials is all about. Love your determination and creativity man!
I usually don't enjoy vids of unsuccessful attempts, but yours have me riveted. Perhaps because I am learning trials and it is extremely relatable. I watch each one, I am exhausted for you, then you go "great now I need to do that to bench". Pure drive. Wow!
Turn the stem downwards for some XC style points. That will also get your bars where you want them.
@@Ali_Clarkson often function over form preduces beauty, back in the 90s I could guarantee a 33 inch bunny hop, using an upside down stem on a cannondale delta v, when I added a suspension fork it was impossible...
no matter how many tries you need, it never gets boring
Really enjoyed that. Felt more progressive than previous couple of videos. More assertive due to the suspension possibly.
Either way, keep it up 🙌🙏
Ryan Leech came to Glasgow and sessioned Glasgow Uni back in 2005 (or then abouts) I was working in GEAR Bikes at the time and was speechless when he walked into the shop. As i was working i didnt even get to see him ride.
The uncut edits are nice and these videos as of late remind me of the golden age of trials.
You’ve done some very aesthetically pleasing riding here. great filming too. Thanks for keeping Ryan’s philosophy alive!!
My favourite bike you've built and ridden so far!
Ryan Leech is one of my fav riders since the Revolution and Evolve vids.
I loved "Crux" so much.
Good job man. It was fun to watch!
I love the manifesto style riding. It's so smooth and whippy! also did anyone notice the play on the suspension when he was on the front wheel? it wobbled
Loving the nod to Ryan Leech Ali. Great video.
Dude that waaaassss amazing!!!!!!! Your a legend!!!!
Great dedication, beautiful build and bike!
Been looking forward to this all week. Was not disappointed. Nice one Ali !
What a great start to the weekend, these videos keep getting better. Another incredible trials bike and some brilliant riding. Already looking forward to the next video. Definitely going to go back and watch old Ryan leech vids now. Thanks again Ali.
Unreal riding Ali loving the videos keep them coming 👌🤙👍
enjoyed the whole vlog... keep up the good work sir... love you
Some seriously cool riding there Ali!
Loved this one mate! I'm realising now that the least hops possible is the way to go 😁👍
Nice work mate! Great to watch.
Man this video is inspiring! I can feel all the enthusiasm when you get the rock to bench gap, I like your skills but I enjoy even more your aptitude! Greetings from italy!!
Well Done Ali. Fair play for the amount of attempts. Some really nice moves too and the bike looks great.
Thank you for this video!! You done hard and beautiful work!!
Thanks for posting another sweet video 👍
i still have Manifesto on DVD, such a clean movie. got to meet Ryan in Whistler one day after a demo. super chill guy.
This bike looks insanely nice! And it looks like it can do everything. Dream bike 😍
ticka-ticka tock my golden pen
now that's determination, You rock Ali
Dude, seriously. With this style of riding, hot DAMN you look SICK. I cant believe it man, so much friggin steeze like that :O i mean sure, i cant imagine any way how that would be easy, quick or enjoyable to try over and over again and get it perfect but when you did, holy smokes, what some fresh visual shit dude!
Your determination is inspiring. But also frustrating to some extent since it highlights how it never gets easier, you just get better.
holy smoothness! i want more of it !!
Perfect control !!!
So much effort to make it look effortless, ahah. You're too good.
Another great video Ali lad
Ali Clarkson Np 🙌🏼
Great test, puttig the ninja skill on it.
Good stuff Ali!
Awesome work as always! Man you have some "battle" scars/marks on your shins :) I bet almost all trials bikers have those ..
Awesome riding 😊
Loved this. Funny how good you are. Try to ride like leech and you actually look like his style. When you said "I want to 180 off this" I started to cheer your edit. Thanks for the content Ali. Keep up the good work!
Hey Ali, you tricked in making believe that youre not going big on this bike. And yet high jumps with nice tricks! Sick riding as always.
such a crazy skills! youre really a legend!
This bike looks insanely nice! And it looks like it can do everything. Dream bike 😍
Love the bike.
Your style is so flowy and pure! I love watching it! I’m a fan of Ryan Leech too and took some of his online courses - the man helped my wheelie evolve from zero meters to 750m!
i recently got an Ali C hoodie and it is very nice. i highly recommend it.
There was some seriously sick riding in this vid 8:17 was my favourite
Every bike u ride transforms you into a completely different rider..
@@Ali_Clarkson I'd say you are..
damn nice video ali as everytime
Epic!
No matter which bike he rides, it’s a MONSTER on any fucking bike; Respect Ali !!! 😀
You're a beast Ali
Awesome, have donated to the case😉
well done brother:)
that bike look so cool
Is there any better noise than a squeaky Magura
Hey Ali Clarkson! Good to see you conquer that Rock! I always understood that Ryan Leech was trying to eliminate UNNECESSARY hops that are done for balance! You seem to be trying to eliminate ALL hops! If it takes a couple of sideways hops to get to the top off that rock after your onto it I think it's ok! Just don't bounce in one spot to balance at any point! Ride ride ride!
Hey Ali Clarkson! If you believe you can do it you can! Visualize yourself at the top of the rock with a victorious smile! Ride ride ride!
Funny thing is, I remember when we used to mess around trying to ride trials we used to see how many hops you could do on the back wheel before you dropped off something. It was kind of a sign that you were in control of your bike rather than just able to backhop.
Manifesto style is better though ;)
Oh man, i wish i could do a bunnyhop at leat 2 steps high with my fullly mtb. I watch parts of your videos in slow mo to see how its done :D
You're riding as well as anyone on the planet right now.
Beautifull bike ali
Did all that rim-brake honking call a duck down @2:53? The kids in the background were pretty funny!
MTB!!!!!!😀😀😀😀
Ali Clarkson..... Beast mode.... like it 🇨🇭🤘
Wow your level is dangerous and amaizing!!!
Greetings from Argentina!!!
ali u are LEGEND =D
@@Ali_Clarkson I WANNA RIDE LIKE YOU
that bike looks sick, it also looks like it do dirt jumps and light trails :D
When you did that 180 from poligonal thing I wanna scream "yeeee boiiiiiii!" :)
You should do an edit with this bike. That would be awesome.
Hey Ali! Long time. You should really do a vid on a brisa, zebdi, lesson etc :) would be pretty damn cool.
Oops just seeing that TT one. Awesome
for the big rock try the table top tire from schwalbe they are more sticky than conti.
Nice Tire 🙂🙂🙂
Definitely prefer the way youre riding on this bike
You could flip the stem and lift it back to the top of the steerer. Cool bike and badass rider btw!
@@Ali_Clarkson I totally agree with that!
Man, sick riding and cool bike! I wish someone still made a trials oriented bike with gears and such that made riding it around more convenient. I'll just keep practicing on my hardtail!
You can stick gears on almost any frame with a bit of tinkering
@@TimInertiatic fair point. Sam Pilgrim's DJ/trials hybrid build did give me some ideas along those lines. I suppose I should probably be better at trials before I start trying to build a bike for it though 😂
@@john2wheels860 I've got a DJ frame to build up as a do it all bike. I may stick some gears on with a shifter hidden under the saddle out of the way
@@TimInertiatic oh nice! That's a pretty awesome idea. I'd definitely be interested to see how it works out.
@@john2wheels860 I think it's gonna take some time sadly due to other priorities!
pspspspsps...also, that bike looks super light...more so than i expected from the build...well, until you went for the rock lol
@@Ali_Clarkson PSPSPSPS!
respect! you just mast do chaine ride! i hope you do whis
Nice ride,i lie your RC shoes,are they true to size?
