Ben Travis - Hangin' On - Street Trials at 40

[@Ali_Clarkson]

Flippin’eck Ben, that was awesome! Bangers all the way through and a spot on edit 😊 i think I’m now the Budget Ben Travis

[@BenTravis]

You'll never be a budget version of me, Ali! Nice to hear you enjoyed it. Hope I didn't break too many un-written rules...

[@Ali_Clarkson]

@ no, I think you just wrote some new better ones instead

[@ryanmurray3598]

I agree with BBT. thats a corker of a vid (Sorry ali. Love your stuff too haha)!!

[@inspiredbicycles]

Your level in street trial is always so inspiring to watch! We hope you keep motivating young riders to never give up on their passion and keep pushing their limits every time. We’re proud to have you on our team for so many years now! Can’t wait to see more amazing videos like this from you in the future💪🏼

[@BenTravis]

Thanks @inspiredbicycles for the support. Appreciate it

[@JoacimLundgren]

Yes Ben! Loved every part of that, so good! Please keep on hanging on for another couple of years!🔥🍻😅

[@BenTravis]

Cheers, Joacim! Means a lot

That’s so cool Ben! Great riding mate!👏👊🔥🍺

[@BenTravis]

Thanks, Vasha! Much appreciated

[@tonymighalls9667]

Yes a long awaited Ben Travis edit, and worth the wait it was too! Well comfy on the hex with the manuals, hope your backs better now after that drop at the end! 😂

[@BenTravis]

Thanks, dude. Surprisingly, didn't hurt at all. I've been off big drops for a while due to other issues, but worked out well in the end

[@bobtknob]

The smoothness of those moves is top notch, fantastic edit

[@BenTravis]

Thanks 😅

[@mathismignard7420]

I can understand why you need a walking stick after all those bangers 🤯🤣 Fairplay Ben, we can sure feel that you put a lot of effort in this edit ! I loved it 😁

[@BenTravis]

Thanks Mathis! Glad you enjoyed it

[@davesport62]

Totally captivated me for 6.37 minutes :o) Thanks for that.

[@BenTravis]

@@davesport62 thanks dude. Appreciate that

[@tees_trials]

Just wow 💪 Genius at work. Full of bangers, plenty more in the tank yet! Love the old telly transitions too, brilliant!

[@BenTravis]

Thanks dude. Wasn't sure if the tv stuff was too much, but i think i've just watched it too many times in the editing process haha

[@MikeM-fq8lc]

Sick!!!

[@Tracked_Cupra]

Yes Ben! 🙌🏼 Epic edit! 10/10… Top notch riding. I had a proper smile all the way through that. Loved the snippet clips at the start… instantly remembered the videos just from the songs, proper nostalgia! Had to go and watch the czar video right after haha! 😁😎🤙🏼

[@BenTravis]

Haha, glad you enjoyed that, dude :). Maybe one day you'll decide to come back and join us all for a ride

[@matthewrichards1987]

Pure class from start to finish, boy got skills

[@BenTravis]

Cheers, bud! Glad you enjoyed it

[@Early2000sBiketrials]

Fantastic stuff Ben! 👍 Absolute bangers everywhere

[@BenTravis]

Thanks very much dude!

[@BigScott1000]

Absolutely awesome!

[@BenTravis]

Thanks, Scott! Don't think I've ever seen a more apt user name haha

[@M.deHout]

Man I loved everything about this! I used to live in Aberdeen for a while until covid and walked through the Bon Accord mall & past Marechal square everyday to work, this brings back great memories! I always loved seeing street trials, but having seen you ride once inspired me to buy a clapped out fourplay and give it a go. Having started way too old I suck and forever will, but man am I glad I started. Cheers

[@BenTravis]

This is awesome to hear, dude! Glad you're keeping it up!

[@LinusPihlsgard]

So good Travis! Butter smooth riding and you do a great job with all the different angles to complement the clips. Congratz!

[@BenTravis]

Thanks, Linus. Means a lot

[@Kohlwheelz]

I love it! This is soo good stuff and motivation for my next riding years🤙🏼😋 And happy Birthday Ben👌🏽

[@BenTravis]

Thanks as always man! Much appreciated.

[@jamesrawlings8080]

Not bad for an OLD guy 😂. Great edit and beautifully produced. Nice one Ben!!

[@BenTravis]

Haha, cheers, James! Gotta keep going if you're still going ;)

[@benjamjarmin]

Happy Birthday Ben, you're killa

[@BenTravis]

Thanks dude

[@jamescampbell9505]

Great video, unreal skill and next level acting “kidzz eess dayas” 💙

[@BenTravis]

hahaha, cheers buddy

[@woody2505]

I love the flow of your style, there's a sort of gravity-defying almost slow motion aspect to it. Hopefully 40's not old, I think there's a whole lot of us at 50 and above thinking we might embark on a trials journey!

[@BenTravis]

Thanks, dude. Definitely go for it, you don't need to be doing big crazy stuff, but very good for technical riding on the mtb. I hope to still be going at 50 with my kids in tow

[@BenTravis]

[@nathaniel__moore]

This is an incredible video, I love every part of it - from the self filmed angles to the funny concept 🔥🔥

[@BenTravis]

Thanks, Nathaniel! Looking forward to your next edit ;)

[@TheCraigy83]

high production value looking vid , and that interior design 🤌 that 90's shed mancave vibe with the tv vcr combo 😂. Ballsy manual drop at the end 👍🏻

[@BenTravis]

Hahaha...I can't take credit for the shed being mine, but its an amazing place! As soon as I went in I had to ask the guy if he'd let me film there as i knew it was perfect

[@frankanon7693]

So bloody good! You basher, looking smoother than ever maybe the tires?? So many good lines, think nosie to side manny back was my favourite. So happy you're still giving it, I like the entire concept of old guy with your actuallly old tgs stuff on the telly. 40 and fabulous I say!

[@BenTravis]

Thanks as always, Frank! Possibly my biggest fan :). Looking back at older vids, i definitely think I'm still improving

[@MTB.Trials.Student]

Really enjoyable video Travis! I love the premise. Keep up the awesome riding!

[@BenTravis]

Cheers, man!

[@mind-control.]

Great idea for an edit! Loved it. Thanks for taking the time to make it

Love this video! I can tell you put a lot of thought and effort into it. Amazing lines! Keep riding and filming.

[@BenTravis]

Thanks dude, appreciate that

[@crankshoptv]

I just turned 40 the other day, after watching this I think I need to work on my grace, great style.

[@BenTravis]

Happy belated birthday! Hope you had a good one! Thanks for taking the time to watch the vid and glad you enjoyed it

[@marioamador9072]

I need to go to Aberden to learn the elder's wisdom. You are such a cool guy for keep pushing your limits and learn new trick instead of getting stuck in the same riding.

[@BenTravis]

Thanks dude, motivated to get out and try some new things soon

[@oldmanbucksaw]

Hot damn!

[@BenTravis]

Thanks, Dude

[@seiffertgeorg]

Wow Mr. Travis, that one was crazy

[@BenTravis]

Thanks, Georg...

[@martinpretorius3692]

Epic video Ben! Some killer moves!That backwards Gap from wall to bench! Insane! I think its great to be proud of the time we "Dinosaurs" come from. :) Glad to see 40 is just a number! I've also reached the 40s club but not letting it keep me from riding Trials! Even if i cant compete with young guns coming up through the ranks. Keep on inspiring Ben!

[@BenTravis]

Thanks for taking the time to watch the vid, Martin! Appreciate that and glad to hear that there are still plenty of older guys still riding :)

[@benruddock374]

Loved it Ben. Makes me want a trially again.

[@BenTravis]

You should definitely get one again :)

Yeah Ben! So many cool little details that most probably don't even notice... Well done, loved every bit of the riding and the story too!🤌

[@BenTravis]

Thanks, Raphael! Appreciate it

[@rtan451]

Still have Small Townboy and Sunday Jen on my riding playlist for when my 'ride like Ben Travis' thoughts kick in, amazing to see the edits are still coming in hot. Still waiting to see the riding quality drop, maybe on the 50th edit.

[@BenTravis]

Haha, cheers dude. Some classics there. I found a load of older videos that aren't on YT as they were on vimeo! Hoping to upload them on here over winter :)

[@esczine]

So good. One of the best to do it!

[@BenTravis]

Thanks, dude :)

[@prototypecomponents]

nice! great riding and great edit. can't imagine how good your going to be with another 25years of trials riding under your belt looking forward to your 65th birthday banger!

[@BenTravis]

Thanks a lot! I'll see if i can keep going that long, might need a zimmer frame for the intro on that video

[@gavvwatt]

Take a bow Ben! too many incredible moments to pick from. couldn’t wipe the smile off my face 😆 will be coming back to this one in years to come! 👌

[@BenTravis]

My biggest fan this week! Haha, thanks. Gav

@@BenTravis We all really appreciate the content Ben, I know it's not just a trials rider thing, but seeing such pillars of the community all putting out great clips, riding together and cheering each other on/lifting each other up is just great. Doesn't matter if you're 14 or 40 it's the effort that's recognised and evident in the output. This comment section is full of riders and people like yourself who a whole lot people look up to and are inspired by, definitely be proud! TLDR: We know how much effort went into this and it shows, never stop!

[@jubalvw3302]

Mr. Travis. I was wondering which magura brakes those were? I was thinking of putting MT5s on my mod, but if the single pot brakes are good enough for you I could save some money and go with those.

[@BenTravis]

Hey dude, i've got a bit of a Frankenstein brake, however, I run MT6 calipers and MT sport lever bodies with HC3 levers fitted. I don't think Magura do MT6 calipers anymore but I believe the MT4 is the same. I've ran this set-up for about 8 years now and never had any problems with hold / bite. I find that the MT5 / MT7 rubs a fair bit more and is harder to set-up than the single pot brakes :). Hope that helps.

Thanks, dude :)
