New Clean video!

As well as the near-enough 16 minute main video earlier this week, Mark's just released a 'B-Sides' video filled with 8 minutes of extra riding, crashes and barking dogs.  If you liked what you saw before then give this a watch...

New Clean video

Mark worked through the day (and some of the night!) yesterday to put the finishing touches to the latest Clean video.  It features some top riding from team riders like Ali C and Flipp, as well as some sweet lines by Carl Hopps.  A good way to pass a bit of your lunch time today!

Ali's GETcreative entry

Ali and Mark headed off to Europe earlier in the year for a bit of riding, and whilst over there they filmed this video for the GETcreative video competition.  Filmed by Mark on a 1971 GAF Super 8 camera, and edited by Ali on something a little more up to date, this is the story of Ali's trip:

New van, new video, new wallpaper

So - we now have a sweet new van to go on trips in (no more squeezing people into cars, yay).  We decided to try it out last night with a cruise to Liverpool after work, and here are some clips from the ride.  It was Adam's first ride on his Inspired Fourplay build, and Stan's first ride with the new TNN Blacks.



Adam also took a photo of me doing a hop over a rail into a bank in the car park, and we've now uploaded it as a wallpaper (click here for the full size version!) for anyone looking to freshen their computer up a little!

EDIT:  As a last minute update, a quick congratulations to Flipp for getting a First for his degree.  Nice work dude!

New video and new tool...

New product and new video too - Gav and Mark went for a ride in Blackpool last weekend, and Gav made this video of the day. 



Team rider Flipp has also been getting up to a bit of riding, here's a photo from Mike Judson of him doing a reverse bar manual tuck?  As you do!

We've also got a new multi-tool in from BBB - the Maxifold.  A whole load of features on a pretty dinky tool - it basically features almost everything you'll need if you get caught out on a ride!

 

If you happen to need a bag to carry said tool in, we also have some new bags from Try-All which may come in handy!

New products, new media!

So - a lot's happened since TartyDays (click that link to view some official photos, or click here to view some very unofficial photos), as you can probably tell by checking out the homepage. We've now got some team edition Hope products back in stock, as well as a few new bits and pieces from other manufacturers.

Whilst at TartyDays, Ali had a bit of a mishap with an 11ft drop resulting in a suspected broken foot. To try and combat non-riding-related boredom, Ali went to a quarry in deepest darkest Yorkshire with Stan and Mark and pioneered some natural crutch trials:



Stan and Mark also recently headed down to Bristol and filmed a little video with Ben Rowlands - the usual smooth, flowy lines you'd expect from Stan with some streety moves from Mark, Ben, John Shrewsbury and Bristol-local Dave Wells.



As a bit of non-TartyBikes-related inspiration, here's a cool video of all-round legend Chris Akrigg doing some super nice moves at some local spots, followed by a pretty savage crash. Get well soon, Chris!

TribalZine

Two noteworthy things from TribalZine today - firstly, a little Q&A with Mark about Section 01, but also this awesome K-124 Days video. We're all very keen on this, so pull up a chair and make yourself comfy...

Mark in Bristol

Ben Rowlands edited this little video of Mark riding Bristol last weekend - the video's below, click here for more info!

Riding.

Ali, Danny, Mark, Rowan and Stan all have some clips in this - bit of pre-ride motivation if you need it!

Ali and Mark in Scotland

Mark's bike + video

I posted this up online a week or so ago and entirely forgot to post it here. So, well, here it is!

This is my 2011 Fourplay Frame built up with a selection of the finest parts that Inspired and Trialtech have to offer. Massive thanks to those guys!











And as a bonus, while filming for Ali C's (now living in Blackpool instead of Hebden Bridge!) new video I got him to film a couple of clips of me too. Nothing huge, but had fun doing it which is the main thing. Expect Ali's Hex promo video to drop in the next day or two as well...



P.S. In case you were wondering what's going on with my forks, that's a glass fibre footjam plate Adam moulded for me. Carbon fibre version soon, hopefully!

Shiny bikes...

Mark and Stan both have the new Fourplay 2011 frames, and here are their builds!

Mark and Stan - Summer 2010

Filmed over the so-called summer we had this year at a range of spots around the NW, with a brief trip to Bristol.

Enjoy!

Video!

Quick little edit from last Saturday when Adam and Mark had a quick bash around Shipley Glen and a tiddly tiny ride at Flappits. No music or anything, just put together by Ads.

Ali C - Spring 2010

Yeah, name change...

Ali riding, Mark's filming and editing. Filmed over 3 weekends in Feb/March 2010, all brakeless, all good!

Go here to view it.

Brakelessness! Stan & Mark at Lee Mill Quarry...

Hope you enjoy watching it as much as we did filming/editing/riding for it!

Clip of the week 3!

Clip of the week #3, featuring Mark and Ali! Riding on the beginner section at Lee Mill and the pump track too.

Random pics...

We all headed to Blackburn last week, even Adam's in on the brakelessness now. All good.



Stan with a sidehop from rear to two from the lower rock on the left.



And Stan again, no-handed sidehop...

And now for something completely different...

A little preview of something we've just finished building... proper photos should be done sometime today if it stops raining...

Check Mark's look of disapproval, haha.
