The kid in the back at 12:00

The line starting at around 12:00 is just ridicolous 🤯🤯 Insane level of riding man! Clean as always!

Ali - one thing I appreciate is that your videos aren't full of swearing and cursing as so many on YT are. I can show this to my kids to get them excited about bikes without worrying about it having an 18 certificate! Thanks.

very nice riding Ali, dont put yourself down, by the way, on the newer 20" comp bikes, for bunny hops you also have to pull very hard

@AlaskaLive Not a flex, just stating that modern 20" trials bikes are more than capable of b-hopping.

8:20 I mean, keep going, you almost ground that wall down enough to make the hop easier xD

I can here the frustration in your voice at the end, you sound deflated, hope it’s just with the riding of this bike/making of this video, and not other things in life, the world is pretty rough at the moment. Keep up the good work, your riding is amazing, and you’re one of the most honest and true to self riders out there. I managed to bag myself a booster too 🙏💪🤘👍

Ali Clarkson hello. I’m very new to this and I was wondering why your tire pressure was so low? Was it low or why my eyes jsur tricking me? Great video!!! Thank you it’s so awesome to watch

I don't watch you because you're the most creative rider.. I watch you because you're a great technical rider and watching you teaches me so much

been following your channel for a while now, only got around to get a trials bike last week. So excited to start riding and you're a huge inspiration

That whole line starting at 12:10 looks amazing. I don't know how you can make such a big gap and stay on the back wheel. Coming from BMX and just starting watching trials, you blow my mind with what can be done on a bike.

Thanks, Ali! Beautiful riding as always! I am sure you would get up this wall sooner or later. And its soo important to remind people that you guys are just like normal humans who sometimes cant live up to their own expectations like anyone else. I appreciate that and its very healthful for all of us :)

Love the honesty of your vlogs, keep up the great work!

Great work, have really enjoyed all of these bike build and ride vids, super insightful with some impressive moves. Keep up the great work Ali. 👍🏻

Im inspired every time I finish one of your vids. Great riding, always see improvement and progression. Thanks!

Nice and inspiring to see You building riding and pushing the limits on so many different bikes. Thanks for your honestly at the end of this video. I can totally feel with You regarding frustration after more than 20 years of riding trials. Keep it up. :)

The lines on those playground logs were incredible!! Great riding Ali!!

Thanks Ali for another great video. I look forward to Friday even more now. Absolutely brilliant riding once again. I wouldn't be so hard on yourself, those side hops are massive, I don't think you can see how big things are in the video. So precise on those rails!

Another great video, thanks Ali! The vice shoes look and are great. I've had mine for 2 weeks and loving them.

Very much looking forward to the new comp bike!!! great Video!

From your build on this bike, I looked up Ashton, and realized I was watching a frame from a street trials legend and didn't know, ive it seen him in old videos dressed in 70,s clobber on GMBN.. nuff respect to him as he is still riding and to the build and insane riding by yourself. Best on the net.

Whohoo, almost at 100K subscribers , that will be a cool moment for you no doubt! That is a lot of people :)

man your skill level is absolutely insane!

I ride on a new 26" competition trials bike (not the latest one but from 2 years ago)and geometry is so different from the past that I really don't know how you stay so well on the back wheel with that low BB. Mine is 80mm, on 26"!! Keep making that old school bikes and those vids, they're very cool.

Hey, you still gave it a go and rode to the best of your ability. I think sometimes memories make us forget that our bodies and minds change over the years as we get used to riding newer and better bikes. Then we try to go back to a previous bike not realizing our bodies have now adapted to the newer bikes in a way where we can't ride like we thought on the older ones. Still a great effort, thanks for the upload.

You beeing honest is the number one reaason to watch your videos! You thell the truth if its good or bad, even for sponsored products, which nobody normally does! So all possible Thumbs up 😉

Awesome riding! 🔥👍 I love trials!

Really enjoyed the bits after you returned to Glasgow. Good to see the familiar spot by the river that I haven’t seen for awhile. I also really liked the lines on the fence and wood play structure. 👍🏼 Get back on that Inspired! 😉

Very nice thrilling ride! Even in spite of minor setbacks associated with inconvenient, outdated frame geometry, you are one of the best trial riders in the world, Ali !! Sorry for my clumsy english!..😌

Like seriously, it has become an instinct to like the video when i see you in it

After the lightweight comp bike there's no escaping it anymore, we need to see you on a 20 inch!

Ohh yess

Thanks for the update on the changes - as far as being able to do all you want on this bike - I suggest your standards are very high! There is a reason bikes change and evolve though - newer geometry, materials, and new riding styles allow more to be possible now - especially at your level of riding. Most of us ordinary folk, could never feel all the subtleties. Looking for the next build/ride and always more Hex!

Those Morecambe shots bring back memories of watching TRAengland2 movie many times over. Also, location at 12:12 looks really similar to the one where James Porter had a massive bail on a dropgap due to rear break slippage (he was riding Ashton as well that time).

Well done man.

As always: just CRAZY!!!!!

Me when ali posts : click click 🔥🤯. Great video

Funny, what you call baby steps, are monster cliffs to me. Awesome riding as always.

Great video mate 👍 some really nice lines ( love the kids playground line ) .... always thought the Aston was a big of a heavy weight . But great to see it getting a run out in 2020 👍

Great video Ali, just finished building my first trials bike😁

Mate you should give yourself loads more credit... you are a pleasure to watch! Such a good rider!! And the content is top!

The taps looked sick

Oh man I’m so gutted! I live in Lancaster, Morecambe is literally 5 minutes away if I’d have known you were there I’d have come to see you!

And all this incredible riding on a bicycle that you do not like or not comfortable on!

I think it's about the (early 2000's) geometry, high bottom bracket, longer frame. I remember we called this heneration of bikes "scooters". A lot of things, especially in street trials is nearly impossible with them. I understand that you felt frustreted but I bet you didn't realized how good you are :D

This sort of video gives me guts to keep training and failing, Sometimes I/You keep hopes too high for something and it just doesn't deliver. Realise it and move on. I've got some success on wheelie training and then i fail for the next week... it makes me upset. Just have to reset my brain and start without expectations. Be happy for the steps forward and try to accept the setbacks.

Some effort mate. well done.

Still killed it..at the end was the sickess.

Watching Ali C tear S##t up on nostalgic rigs while sipping a morning brew is a great way to start the day....

Ali frustrated with his riding. Meanwhile after 20 years of trials riding I can barley sidehop wheel height! 🤣 Love watching your vids. Keep up the good work.

Because of your trials videos, I want to try it now! It’s not big in the US so it’s kinda hard to come up with places to buy from... however I am looking at pink bike every day waiting for one to pop up in my size

Good video Ali, some really nice stuff, thanks for putting in the effort/work to get it. I definitely feel you as do so many other people, nostalgia can be a dangerous thing, we remember things so fondly, only to be rudely bitch slapped back to reality when we actually come face to face and realise we definitely had on some rose tinted glasses just because of the time in our lives, people we were with etc. I mean just look at the Raleigh Chopper, thought it was such a fun, fantastic bike when I was a kid, but you couldn't pay me to ride one now, so damn dangerous.

🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥

Satisfying

Cool video 👌🔥 Imagine going out with two cameras to not struggle to do everything twice it would kill my power 😂😂

I'm guessing you are running tubeless? The squash on your rear tire at the 3:41 mark is unreal!

Nice vid. Finished my Ashton build with the help of the guys at tartybikes and it's sweet, but the only thing niggling me is the original Ashton forks. What are these forks you've changed too for this vid please Ali? Cheers.

Good riding Ali! Have you ever think about building a 20" trial bike? if it's possible for you

How do you jump so high from a stand still? For instance right at the start when you hopped onto the barrier? Do you have a video on this?

Bien loco sigue adelante broder

U should go and check out Kieran Reilly with the tall order squad. Keep on keepin on bro. Killer skillz

not the bike ali was HOPPING for

What tyre pressure do you run on the rear?

Yayyy.. Another squeeky brake video :)... just kidding. Like it.

Dude that looked like one of my biking sessions only with more success lol

Hopping for.

Ever consider putting on a aet of pegs? It'll increase theoretical side hops because you can just pop up in to a feeble grind stall then pop the back wheel up. Plus now you can grind stuff. Maybe worth 10 oz, probay not. Might be a fun video though

would love to see a MONTY build im sure you would make it kick ass

Searched for a Diamondback justice frame with no luck. Anybody know any other models that one might find used on ebay? I want to start a trials build.

Built up a an araya wheelset with araya rc 540 rims, DT swiss 2.0 1.8 2.0 Double butted, laced to Ultegra 6500 hubs 14 gauge spoke nipples. Big problem, the rim has lateral distortion to the side of each of the eyelets - the distortion isn't at the eyelets it's at the braking surface as if it is jittery when braking - I have close to perfect equal tension throughout. Rebuilt it again with using oil on threads and eyelet holes still same result. Gotta be over tensioned spokes causing the distortion right? I've got an average of 160 Kilograms of force on the spokes, should I reduce the tension to 117 kgf? There is no cracking of the rim, and when I de-laced it the destortion went away but when I retensioned it again it got distorted again. Could I have permanently distorted the rim? Can you give advice on this?

@@Ali_Clarkson Thanks for getting back to me, yes it is a light rim. Claimed 415 grams listed by araya catalog. I didn't mix up the drive side spokes with the non drive side either, did everything right. There is a .05 mm ripple adjacent to each double eyelet on the braking surface so I get a shuttering effect when braking, gonna be hard to true out that small amount. Really think I'm gonna have to bring down the tension, seen distortion eyelets from rims before but never seen the distortion carry on beyond that. May have to bring it down to 60 kgf to get the distortion out which the park tool chart says I can do with 1.8 dbl spokes, is that too low? for front wheel.

@@Ali_Clarkson Interesting point about reducing a quarter turn. At one point of the build I was doing a half turn on the nipples. Guess I can try 1/8 turns when I de tension and tighten up and see the results that way, thanks!

What tire pressure do you ride? It looks crazy low

Get what you mean about not feeling quite right on that bike, feel same on my Onza Zoot frame , but put a 20" rear wheel on it with 20 x 2.8 tyre on it & rides so much better But next project will be a full sus trials bike may be with a motor?

I enjoy the diversity of your videos but think it is time for some no hop Hex lines. Stay safe everyone!

Is it the brakes making that weird squeaking sound or am I being a bit thick. Been years since I’ve used rim brakes

So what’s a good starting trials bike? I really want to get into riding trials.
