I remember playing on those rocks as a kid and to see Chris pull those moves is beyond anything I could have ever imagined

I'm always amazed at his hops on full suspension bikes, I can barely get a FS off the deck...

Great stuff, never get bored of watching him ride.
I rode some of the trails in that video on the way to work this morning, but I wasn't quite as awesome!

Pah! *I* could have done that faceplant! ๐Ÿ˜‰

Not most of the rest of it though.

Having to lift his legs onto that window cill at the end shows he's really not 100%, doesn't it.

BTW - why put Chris Bonnington on the front of the video?

Nice to see him doing a bit of classic trials on the rigid, if you can call it classic the way he rides ๐Ÿ˜ฏ

I also can't believe how he can do what he does on the full susser, I think his experience on a moto trials bike has helped with this a lot.

Loving the huge boosts off those large rock slabs ๐Ÿ˜€ LIFT OFFF

Winning the Frome Cobble Wobble in 2010 (with the fastest time ever) shows what an athlete he is.
Great film maker too.

God I hate him! ๐Ÿ˜†

He's just playing around - he gets them up just fine in the beginning of the video.

Great to see him back, and awesome video as always.

Yes, good to see this, and Shipley Glen/Harden Moor are stars too.

I've gone off some of the weenier rocks here on Shipley Glen, but up?!

BTW, Chris Bonnington used to practice on Baildon Bank, just round the corner from Shipley Glen. Some nice runs there; one of my commute routes..
