michael_t Posted October 23, 2014 Report Share Posted October 23, 2014 (edited) Julien DuPont and Arthur Coutard are probably the most watched trials rider on you tube this one has almost 4 million views. http://youtu.be/t0zhYJ5x8Wg Funny thing the top remark (when I viewed it) was "this is nothing compared to Danny on the ridge..." Arthurs out of Africa video seems very well produced but is not as well viewed so who knows ???? http://youtu.be/i9Z3WEp05Ew I agree it is not always the top competitors that make the best videos Danny does lots of stuff that you would never see in a true trials competition and so do these guys.

atomant Posted October 24, 2014 Author Report Share Posted October 24, 2014 It's interesting seeing what Arthur is wearing. A full face helmet too 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cascao Posted October 24, 2014 Report Share Posted October 24, 2014 Valentino Rossi is on top level and always found a way to promote the sport.It's a responsibility of the big names on sport but depends on their personality. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

perce Posted November 11, 2014 Report Share Posted November 11, 2014 Making the sport more spectacular just to make it more popular might have the opposite effect. You might loose (a lot) contenders. That ship sailed some time ago Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dadof2 Posted November 11, 2014 Report Share Posted November 11, 2014 Perhaps trials is like a fine wine, only of interest to those who can really appreciate it, whereas DM is supermarket plonk for the masses. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

guys Posted November 20, 2014 Report Share Posted November 20, 2014 To those who think being popular is important or cool: Hitler was also very popular at one time in Germany. Think for yourself and don't follow the masses blindly. (Sorry if my English is a bit crooked) 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
atomant Posted December 9, 2014 Author Report Share Posted December 9, 2014 This new video I predict will exceed everything that has gone before in maximum views - The combination of scenery, music and stunning cinematography have got the balance just right - Produced by the same team that did 'The Ridge' they are just the best in the business right now ... This sets a new benchmark in sports videos when we have man vs nature. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bisby Posted December 14, 2014 Report Share Posted December 14, 2014 I told my 9 year old son that the tundra igloo is where father Christmas lives and he had invited dougie to visit with his bike! He thought the staircase with the slope would be where they load the presents on to the sleigh 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
