Riding my Childhood Town And Biggest Tricks : A Tour Of Where It All Started

[@HerrSheeps]

Love a bit of Hebden. Some mega trails round that way too.

[@ApexHerbivore]

lmao, you just reminded me I've not watched Toast for years

[@crixtus]

its very very rare that one gets to time travel and relive the fav childhood spots. My spots are almost all gone now, courtesy of urban development. Thank you for bringing us along.

[@tomhodgkinson3694]

This is my local spot too, feels weird watching you ride here

[@onesquirrel2713]

Congrats to 100.000 subs! Very well deserved!

[@sapinva]

Yes, he deserves a million.

[@markokozaric]

#Clarksontomil. 👌🏻👍🏼👍🏼💥💥💥🙈

[@-kaster--kaster-6090]

Dude I can’t stop watching your videos you’re absolutely insane bro ! You should a trials video with Sam pilgrim . I know you’re way better at trials then Sam but maybe you can teach him some new tricks . 👍

[@stevehiggins1263]

haha joker

[@SUPER8ALTERN8]

Sam Pilgrim? never heard of her

[@alimantado373]

he already has on a few occasions

[@-kaster--kaster-6090]

Troy Lewis link ?

[@iantowers6972]

Look in SAMs and Ali's back catalogues they have ridden together a few times can't think off hand of the name of the park they went but it has a load of trails features ,cable drums and logs etc all set up for trails.

[@imnotgivingmynametoamachine683]

I love seeing you ride skate parks and impressing all the kids, who knows how many future riders you might make!

[@edgarbnd]

Love your vidéos! Nice to see where the legend grew up!

[@gubourn]

This had me feeling your nostalgia Great content Ali

[@jackolson8775]

Thanks Ali !! Love it. I only live about 10 miles from my childhood home. I make a few trips a year just to ride my old obstacles that I grew up on. Great vid !!

[@sadphil01]

I remember driving to Tod & seeing you practice at the bottom of your house (where the railway fence has wrecked it), and nearly crashing because I'd never really seen anyone good at trials. Just blew my mind!

[@grahamleach9639]

What a great video to celebrate the 100k, really well put together.

[@NDKY67]

My granny used to have a sweet shop there. Great video, it’s such a nice place

[@danielgosselin9930]

One of my favourite videos of yours so far. Been watching this chanel for a few years now. Thanks Ali!!

[@stevecarling564]

awsome video Ally good to see you back home

[@elliott.cooper]

congratulations on 100k ali!!!! well done🎉🎉🎉

[@bigdadgigachad3042]

What a beautiful place

[@EC-ol8nz]

Beautiful stone architectural city, great ride👍

[@chrismcgourty1756]

Brilliant video mate, from the heart.

[@MichaelStugart]

Awesome work Ali. Thanks. 😃👍

[@EG3HC]

Great vid and congrats for 100k!

[@StephenGinman]

you inspire me to continue making bmx flatland riding vlogs although i really wasnt able to make it to the top of this game. ur awesome!

[@garyfarrington2960]

This video was brilliant Ali! Thank you so much for sharing your old ride spots with us.

[@darkmann12]

Loving the longer videos! Hell yea! Fantastic riding as always :D

[@YuraBotanick]

Thank you, Ali!!!) It is so impressive!! You know, i can't ride like you, but I have the same pedal wounds on my feet! And it makes me happy! ..)

[@eartharrow6772]

awesome vid and congrats on thw100k

[@lowandslowga]

Wow great blog buddy! Love hearing the stories and seeing the lines. Seems like some of them surprised even you. You grew up in a beautiful place.

[@YanDoroshenko]

Congrats on the 100k! You've come up some huge aliSTAIRS in the last year!

[@danieljozefczyk8666]

Your now making the videos that impressed you as a kid I often ride to hemdon bridge from Glossop

[@andretokayuk8100]

That was sick..)/* Think I'm getting better just watching your vids..) Thanks, man.

[@brentv7299]

Great video! Revisiting the perspective of your youth is always funny. "When we were little there was this HUGE hill we would bomb done!" (Present day) "Yeah, that really isn't very big now..." Of course, in your case - the hop up to a 4 ft. wall is still 4ft!!

[@charr6108]

14:39 damn MASSIVE

[@callumdewarphotography]

Class Ali 🤙🏻

[@crashcrash8009]

Nice done!

[@andrewengland8021]

Cool, never knew you were a local lad ali 👍

[@joeldriver381]

I really enjoyed the stories! Such a cool place with the river and bridges. That skate park looked much better than the one you showed the picture of in Glasgow. haha

[@TimoGoesKnots]

Awesome video!

[@pinionerop1188]

...Nice Video as always...but...did i just have seen the mighty 100000 there??? CONGRATULATIONS!!!

[@76jazza]

Mean shinner bro, bad memories...

[@ronn_mtb]

You are an absolute amazing human being and a stylish rider too. Love since day 1 and love from India 🇮🇳

[@BikingwithJP]

17:00 - that's what she said

[@Tom.Handy1]

I live in Bradford and it’s close to their. I always look for you if I’m at Shipley glen😂

[@gusrodger6897]

Great video Ali ! Is the new motor home different to last one ?

[@judechandler5102]

Are you Ali Clarkson? Might be...... You cheeky bugger! You outdid yourself with this one. Epic as always!

[@intruder_ua]

I'm shocked! how can you do that!?!?! 😲

[@robcraighill6315]

Nice place to grow up and ride, feels strange when you go back I bet!

[@martindoersch]

♥️

[@jonasbouchard]

24:15this guy has reached nirvana

[@sdqsdq6274]

this is the carbon rims ?

[@isaaclawson9355]

Wait. REALLY! I LIVE IN HALIFAX. WE LIVED SO CLOSE TOGETHER LOL

[@1hello44]

We’re is this

[@chris42076301]

A decent place produced a decent man.

[@sapinva]

That is a really pretty little town. Could have watched 30 minutes of just touring around. For some reason, imagine your parents wore tie-dye as well?

[@dorothyclarkson772]

Sorry to disappoint but we had very little tie-die, but we did wear purple and flares in the ‘70s!

[@RideBikes_Walkplaces]

@@dorothyclarkson772 haha!

[@mushypeas2864]

Been watching you now for 3+ years Ali, I live 400 yards from your childhood house. Blown away with the gaps I've just watched. 👍👍

[@RideBikes_Walkplaces]

Same here mate. You ride locally? Mtb?

[@baboowam23]

What a stalker

[@RideBikes_Walkplaces]

@@baboowam23 bit of a weird thing to say. There's nothing stalker like about his comment.

[@casestudymtb]

I can't think of a single other rider who could keep my attention for 30 minutes. I love the old haunt tour, so great to see you easily conquer the old dream spots with such relative ease!

[@rainerzufall2373]

19:05 so friendly how you asked the birds to leave 😂👍🏻

[@lvburik]

Best one in a while!, Reminds me of the older street ride vlogs, would have loved to see a few more tries of that drop gap you said you struggled with. I have got to find more time to go on some street rides agian!

[@rainerzufall2373]

24:45 people in the back cheering for that awesome move

[@chromix5482]

You must had a good childhood with so many spots😉

[@LongPeter]

I always enjoy it when you blow people’s minds out on the street :)

[@blank-dr2kx]

YES ALI!!! Matt n Eddie tongue where brilliant, wasnt that canal gap in Mbuk? trials went boom in 98 and I remember the pashley trials bike with union Jack frontage, which did you like Blue or Ivory? Good times mate I wish I stuck with trials. I started going pubs, had kids n grew up. Good times though looking for drops n sections out from 8am till way past dark. Keep riding Ali

[@bentleyduda6243]

Very rarely comment on KZbin but thought I'd say I really enjoyed this video and the story. Thanks. 👍

[@mister.kosmos]

old ali videos with drop gap and other places from this video kzbin.info/www/bejne/oqq7kqd6pZt2rMk :)

[@nathan-kun8436]

Congrats on 100k and the plauge I've been watching for like nearly 4 years now you have grown alot

[@dylanmurphy3195]

Moved my pelvis out of place done nerve damage and plate damage only 3 weeks after getting back after my knee injury. So your videos will be a massive help once again cheers Ali

[@YanDoroshenko]

Get well soon though, being broken myself I know it does suck a good deal.

[@WheelieFreak]

For us people who enjoy riding, is awesome to see your skill on display. For the regular folk, they think you're a super human. I love too see people's reaction :D

[@conniepiercy468]

How in that actual hell does this man only have 100k subs!?

[@sylvainleclair5140]

Nice video! And congrats to 100k!

[@DumbleDork]

My favorite video yet!

[@KHos73]

Now I know why you wear the red socks :)

[@mobilebeast6736]

100 THOUSAND SUBSCRIBERS GG

[@emanuelgebauer7098]

I'm currently right in the stepest part of my progression and it's such a nice feeling when things were unthinkable a year ago are easy going right now 😅 Trials progression can be slow but it's soo rewarding if it finally works 😊 Great lines ali😊 those will definitely be unthinkable for me for the foreseeable future 😅

[@LordBodlington]

You’re making some really good videos, keep up the good work. But, I do have to say a huge F#*k off to KZbin for placing ads EVERY TWO MINUTES!!!!!! This is only a 27 minute video....... having ads so frequently renders it almost unwatchable.

[@Ali_Clarkson]

Ah noted, I’ll get that changed...I forgot to edit the number of adverts

[@tomcunningham3418]

Just stumbled across your videos and thought i recognised you, we went to college together! Me you and Nick used to hang out and watch you do some ridiculous tricks at college. glad to see you've kept it up and are doing so well. Good to see you representing good old Hebden too!

[@RideBikes_Walkplaces]

Was your mother a primary school teacher at hebden royd?

[@Simon-uh5bv]

Love what you are doing. Haven't watched the video yet but you know it is going to be good!

[@Bigchurchmusic]

Really enjoyed this until you over did the Liberal bit they are a minority in Hebden Bridge.

[@Ali_Clarkson]

It’s the most liberal place I’ve ever experienced with Bristol being very close. I don’t doubt gay/lesbian/lgbt are the minority (is there anywhere on the planet where they’re the majority?) but you have to admit it’s a pretty liberal place

[@trial_jannes]

Really cool video with some great stories🔥🔥. I can't wait to come back to my home-"town" (Berlin) in 20 year to ride the stuff I ride today, but much better😂👌🏻

[@miek99]

that girls reaction is priceless. Pretty much my reaction when i saw trials the first time.

[@DJRipGroove99]

100k!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! 👍🏻

[@williamhoward2354]

just subbed to your channel, love the content.

[@Ali_Clarkson]

Thanks William 😁🤘🏻

[@lonoreturns]

So much going on. Is that the hill where Chris Akrigg won king of the cobbles?

[@NickIrvineFortescue]

This is such a great video. The expressions from the public are so entertaining to watch and you come across so well. So does Hebden Bridge cone to think of it! I appreciated you being honest about your feelings about riding the skate park, despite how competent you are.

[@roughsponge]

ahhh Hebden bommies were great, black peas and parkin with an excellent firework display, them were the day's. Best wishes from NZ, keep up the great work.

[@mana3735]

I went to Hebden Bridge a few months ago with my mrs and daughter on our bikes. with the intention of us riding back to Manchester along the canal. The girls couldn't handle it on their bikes and caught the train home at the next station. I made it back in one piece though. Knackered. The canal path was a mess with parts of it closed. Once i got passed Smithy Bridge, it was down hill all the way!

[@BTB_Works]

Man, you describing your old spots makes me nostalgic af, like, literally, my first big thing was getting over a bench. I still remember doing a back hop on the sitting part, and than side hopping over the higher part... man memories with my 2006 tucana will never die

[@lakjajakson5312]

admiro lo que haces con la bici, podrías por favor grabar un video explicando cuánto tiempo te costó para aprender en un principio este deporte, cuánto tiempo dedicabas diariamente al entreno? gracias.

[@Andy6660037]

You make it look so easy ali! Then I try and fail on the most smallest objects 😂 do you ride 20" trials bikes too? I have a megamo 20" from 2001 and its still going strong 👍

[@TobiasSample]

I'm... not subscribed? :S Fixing that right away!

[@BenderRodriguezBender]

Loved this video and your town. English old achitecture.

[@davidmichie1449]

Another great video man,!! Happy Fridays!! I know exactly how you feel about your old riding spots. I went back to mine a few months back, everything has changed to make it difficult for trials riding. Wow was that an x hydra? I loved that bike, had two with the same chainstay problems. 100K!!!!!!! 😜

[@smudek1]

Beast 💪 Congratulations of 100000 subs, keep it up! 💪👍👊

[@redhatfactory]

I've watched this video so many times now. It also made me research the Pennine Way, and now I want to hike!

[@joaquinlagares8084]

it was so cool know you better in this video and also amazing how you made hard lines so easyy jajaja

[@THEbenmortimer]

So strange seeing you ride this stuff. Lived in Todmorden/Hebden Bridge my whole life. Seen you out a few times too. A few times on the brakeless Hex and on the first red Hex. Used to ride mtb with Matt Greenwood too. He was telling me stories of when you were growing up together 😂 glad you stopped by mate 😊👍

[@RideBikes_Walkplaces]

Ey up ben lad! Not seen ya in ages. You still ride mtb? We head out locally quite a bit still if you even fancy joining us!

[@THEbenmortimer]

@@RideBikes_WalkplacesAyup dude 🤙I don't have an mtb anymore I'm afraid mate. Stopped riding years ago as a most people I rode with stopped. Now I only have a little onza comp for playing around on which hardly gets used. I've often thought about getting another rig as my sister and her fella are well into it now! I need to save for buying a house though. Perks of growing up eh? 😑😒

[@andrewlewis4253]

Not having fun unless you're bleeding!

[@derekgreenwood396]

Maaate makes my heart warm this, bloody love Hebden, grew up there, then joined the Army 99-15 then MD'd, used to love coming back home and dropping bag off behind the bar in the Railway and then Seshing on.... Loving seeing Hebden.. Haha absolute leg burner the buttress

[@LifeofBrad1]

This brings back memories. One of my dad's ex's lived in Hebden in one of the flats up the road from that Co-op. This was 16 years ago. Good times. Well, apart from the time my older brother stumbled across a "den" along a trail near there and stepped on a plank of wood with a big nail sticking out of it. That wasn't such a good time.

[@rickspeight5108]

Great to see you riding near my home town! I’m from Halifax so obviously know Hebden very well! I live in Abu Dhabi now and still love riding trials...when the heat permits here of course! 🥵 carry on sending dude, love the videos! If you ever want to come out and ride Abu Dhabi give me a shout! 🤙🏼

[@YanDoroshenko]

I don't care, you live in Glassgow, speak like a Glasswegian (how do you even spell that?!), be drunk, rude, aggressive, ride in a kilt with bagpipes and eat haggis.

[@fightersmurf]

just a suggestion for your "Rent this Space"-Merch, put a small Ali C Logo somewhere too. Awesome videos and incredible riding as usual
