  • 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!

    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?

    • @Ali_Clarkson
      @Ali_Clarkson  2 роки тому +1

      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!

      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

    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
