Is Blackpool The Best Trials City In The UK?

[@jayd46]

Dude your riding is on another level at the moment. Super clean.

[@Ali_Clarkson]

Thanks James, I felt pretty good that day :)

[@EvangelosMTB]

@@Ali_Clarkson It looked great man! Soooo clean!

[@flurgerbla7609]

Love the riding lately, looking super smooth and tech. Would be awesome to see a full edit

[@Ali_Clarkson]

Thank you, I’d like to do an edit some time... easier said than done though

[@todd_on_bikes]

As an Arcade rider, I appreciate the history lesson about my bike’s name. 😉👍🏼

[@judechandler5102]

Love that step that read "Corona, your head looks like a conker". Someone must have been on some serious stuff. Superb vid as always Ali!

[@spamcatchington1771]

Great riding. Something i really enjoy in these videos is the occasional reaction from bystanders ... consider how to incorporate more of that into your videos!

[@Ali_Clarkson]

You’d be surprised how few reactions I normally get!

[@GTR_JAMES]

Love seeing random peoples reactions, would be amazing if you did a compilation video of people reactions etc.

[@Ali_Clarkson]

Might take a while to build up a backlog, you’d be surprised by how many people don’t show any interest

[@GTR_JAMES]

@@Ali_Clarkson wow that does surprise me!

[@beanstable]

Trials kings takes me back. Would see Danny and co in various places. Old memories!

[@DesmoSkier]

I love watching your riding in Blackpool :) I also like that you can see/hear people smiling and cheering when they see you ride :)

[@thomashaenel5173]

This bike sounds so clean. No Breaks, no other Bad Sound

[@RageForSeven]

I guess blackpool has to be good for something....great riding, great weather!!

[@Ali_Clarkson]

Lol!

[@henrylaird9028]

Love the vid! Would you ever consider making a beginner/intermediate trials series similair to Seths bike hacks videos a few years ago?

[@Ali_Clarkson]

I’d consider it yeah... I’m not the best at planning stuff though which is why I’ve not done anything like that yet, it’s more work than I’m used to :P

[@dougal5239]

Your riding has been on point lately! Keep the trials vids going strong man!

[@Ali_Clarkson]

Thanks, I’ll try my best :)

[@beyond6storm]

Took me too long to figure out the kid said " 's that not hurt?" Such smooth movement dude, amazing vid!

[@nitbot]

I had no idea what he was saying and was scanning through the comments in an attempt to figure it out. Thanks

[@gafrers]

Fantastic places and riding

[@Ali_Clarkson]

Cheers :)

[@TimInertiatic]

Great as ever. In my late 30s having not tried to ride trials for 20 years, I'm wondering how to get a hex in my shed...

[@shemshem9998]

Tim Cave lucky enough for you trials bikes are cheaper then normal mtb’s so you can get a hex and a comp trials for the price of selling one of your kidneys

[@TimInertiatic]

@@shemshem9998 lucky I only need one :-)

[@Xangoose1]

Also wanting a hex so bad ... budget may not allow for it though 😆

[@Tweaks]

I got a hex a couple months back after destroying every part on my mtb trying to do trials. It’s completely worth the investment even if you go broke doing it

[@Ali_Clarkson]

I occasionally see used ones come up on EBay etc but if you can stretch to a new one then you’ll get a great bike with warranty :)

[@john25992]

That bit at 8:30 was proper nice

[@Ali_Clarkson]

Thank you :)

[@planeandsimple431]

Nice to see people watching and clapping rather than complaining. I can see how skateboarders can bring out the Karens- they travel in packs, cause damage grinding while your tires cause none and, runaway boards are dangerous while you maintain constant control of your bike. Another sweet vid, bro.

[@devononair]

Certainly very different from when I used to ride trials! Ironically, in my town, the best place was outside the police station! No people around, great obstacles, and the police, unlike most people, realised it's not a crime to do stunts.

[@craigmclaughlin7860]

Holy moly that footjam whip to fakie manual

[@Ali_Clarkson]

Took a few tries haha

[@craigmclaughlin7860]

@@Ali_Clarkson worth it lol

[@jeffhayes1855]

Liking the varied camera views for the same line on this video. (Including the POV). Fun to watch. You bring joy.

[@Ali_Clarkson]

Thanks Jeff :)

[@timgrant4519]

You made that all look so smooth. Definately a big playground. 😄

[@Ali_Clarkson]

Thanks Tim!

[@milesmallinson2500]

So good! Little throwback line to Clean 001 with that downside footjam whip to backward manuals 😍

[@Ali_Clarkson]

I really wanted to one-up that line so I’m pleased to have landed the double Fakih manual :)

[@keithmoon2718]

Ah man I used to go to all these spots as a kid. Never managed to ride em like that mind!

[@lukase.2487]

Your riding is insande ! Alien Level

[@Ali_Clarkson]

Thank you!

[@charlieworsfold2661]

love this riding come back to blackpool for sure

[@Ali_Clarkson]

Thanks, will do!

[@bikeoclock_show]

Your riding is just on another level! Loved the video!

[@Ali_Clarkson]

Thanks!

[@sobhasandhu1592]

Lovely POV Footage!!!!!!!!!!!!

[@nathan-kun8436]

100k well done Ali

[@Ali_Clarkson]

Thanks!

[@cedricclamaran]

Ali Clarkson's video notification just in time to watch before work. This made my day already

[@Ali_Clarkson]

Awesome!

[@paulkrapp]

Great video, holy @#$%&! You always astound me! I rode a 1975 Yamaha 175 Trials bike back in the 70's. I really appreciate what you can do on a trials bicycle! I switched to mountain-biking in the mid 90's, but wasn't aware of what a trials bicycle could do! Thanks again!

[@Ali_Clarkson]

Thanks Paul!

[@maxm4841]

A ride on Skye would be great! And nice Video👌

[@GilesForrester]

Excellent vidéo...some dope tune with...

[@richardjamesbunker]

Fantastic video Ali - you’re such an inspirational rider!

[@Ali_Clarkson]

Thanks man :)

[@crashcrash8009]

So sick, man! That was wonderful. P.s. Nice photoshoot for the video!

[@Ali_Clarkson]

Thank you :)

[@russianpeanutbutter2603]

The riding in that town looks epic, great video!

[@Ali_Clarkson]

This was only a tiny portion too!

[@WheelieFreak]

Out of this world Ali. That spot is perfect for trials, hope to see more from there.

[@Ali_Clarkson]

Thank you, I’ll be going back for sure!

[@mathismignard7420]

This episode is sooo cool ! Love it 🥰 So happy of the return of the Hex 🔥

[@erezra]

You looked soo comfortable riding this. Awesome riding!

[@Ali_Clarkson]

Thanks dude :)

[@guyonthebike]

Just as I'm starting lunch I see this. Perfect timing.

[@dhall1822]

Incredibly Awesome!!

[@furyxvanity2946]

The height of drops are so insane, I went off a drop(tbh I jumped off it not really dropped from a stand still but still) about 1.4m or 1.6m(biggest drop I could find in my area to flat) when I was riding street the other day, it felt f*ckin big on my big ass 29" 100mm travel hardtail, here comes Ali on his little 26" wheeled trials bike dropping of things like 3x to 4x as big like its nothing,like dude, the commitment to also dropping of something like this too, good job Ali. Edit:grammar

[@Ali_Clarkson]

Tbf my little 26” will be a lot nicer for the drops than a 29er hardtail... also don’t forget I didn’t start on drops this high haha!

[@elliotthutton7175]

some great lighting for the shots here ali

[@Ali_Clarkson]

Yeah I got pretty lucky with the weather

[@timhaidvogel]

🤩The foot jam whip to backwards manual, looks sooo smooth! 💯8:53

[@martinp4602]

Great riding as allways

[@Ali_Clarkson]

Thanks!

[@heelandtoe2369]

great riding Ali, keep it up

[@Ali_Clarkson]

Thank you :)

[@bernardnulty9036]

Amazing to see how much your riding changes between the 26 and 24 Ali. The arcade was all spins and g turns and the hex is power moves, hooks and to fronts. Love the videos dude

[@Ali_Clarkson]

I’ve been enjoying playing to my strengths, I’ve never felt that comfortable spinning so I’m doing less of it these days

[@bernardnulty9036]

@@Ali_Clarkson ah no I wouldn't say that now, you're unreal spinning on the front wheel! But definitely you can see your best riding on the hex. To me anyway!

[@csaba5415]

Really very cool for trials! You were full of energy, great riding as always!

[@Ali_Clarkson]

Thanks :)

[@lowandslowga]

Loved it dude! So cool to see all your old riding spots

[@callumdewarphotography]

Now I know more about Blackpool great riding Ali!:)

[@christhrelfall80]

Epic video! Good to see Ali illuminating Blackpool with some epic riding! 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻

[@Ali_Clarkson]

Thanks :)

[@joeldriver381]

Such a cool spot on the water with endless line options. Excellent stuff! Stay safe everyone!

[@joseadrianchiyahalvarez3809]

really nice

[@CharleyGames]

I tend to watch your videos rather thoughtlessly because it's all very cool, and this causes me to sometimes miss things, like the footjam-whip at 08:30 to then find out the line was even cooler than I realized, because of the second angle

[@Ali_Clarkson]

Thank goodness for the second POV shots then haha

[@OnlyShrimps666]

@Ali Clarkson, you're a chill bro and I hope you have a nice day

[@Ali_Clarkson]

Thanks, you too!

[@silasrinnagl]

Ohhh boi how I missed these hex videos🥺🤩🤩🤩they‘re just so great

[@charlieworsfold2661]

please come down and ride some more here

[@Ali_Clarkson]

Oh I will!

[@lkb3rd]

This place suits your style Ali, awesome stuff!

[@Ali_Clarkson]

Thanks :)

[@mountaincruiser817]

Love the introvert statement at the end. I'm with you on this. For me the Corona virus isn't that bad, I finally have a legit excuus to be by myself:-) great video like always!

[@devononair]

Introverts unite! For me, riding is my peace and meditation.

[@cphun2]

I'm not a big fan of street trials riding style and those short bikes but this video was very inspiring. After "suffering" on retro trials bikes now it was very nice to see you enjoying this ride. Those fake rock are epic. Keep it up. :)

[@gabriellestorey5325]

It was so neat to see the man made rock. I found a you tube video called building artificial rock at the North Carolina zoo. I'm an art teacher nerd and loved to see the process. Double cool is we live in N.C. Thanks!

[@MannequinOngaku]

Always a pleasure Ali. This one was especially cool, I only recently saw your brakeless edit for the first time too!

[@Ali_Clarkson]

Timing!

[@brentv7299]

Another great video! The line options (skill dependent, of course) on the moon rocks looks endless. So many great places to ride, so little time...

[@Ali_Clarkson]

Yeah, they can be hard to ride but are good if you can ride them

[@silvaresl]

As always, AWESOME!!!

[@Ali_Clarkson]

Thank you :)

[@frankanon7693]

This is an iconic place and you ride it so well! The flow and huge ups done with ease is lovely to watch. Thanks for another video that can be watched multiple times

[@Ali_Clarkson]

Thanks Frank :)

[@captaincrunch2779]

It was cool seeing you ride those spots that I remember from watching old vids years ago, with Mark in them as well. Good stuff.

I live in Canada now but I am from Longridge which is just down the road from Blackpool. Thanks for the trip down memory lane with this video. I currently ride a 26" echo GU but your getting me thinking of building a hex for street. Thanks for the good video

[@davidschuler7339]

So good to watch you riding! That’s so inspiring because you’re clean& precise riding style absolutely love it! :)

[@Ali_Clarkson]

Thanks David :)

I really enjoyed the creative lines around 7-9 minutes!

[@robbed_copy]

Such amazing shots. Great vid yet again

Thanks :)

8:31 I am not into photography or filming, but that was an epic shot. Beautiful! Nice riding as allways.

[@Ali_Clarkson]

Thank you, I was pleased with that too

[@djfaber]

Really like the new editing style, the cuts back and forth really do a good job showing the difficulty of the riding you're doing

[@fridolinbuchegger9333]

Love to see you riding old spots, but i would love to see more street trial riding from you!

Thank you :)

[@jaydubs6873]

Unreal skills man!! Bangin video 🤙🏻

[@Ali_Clarkson]

Thanks!

[@rodbrakes4189]

Brilliant. Being a Blackpool local it's nuts to see some of the drops your doing. And then going back up. I've seen a few people ride the ledges and moon rocks along the prom, but not as smooth as this. And yes, i agree with you about the stag do's and hen do's. Blackpool would be a great place if it was't for some of the anti-social drunk and disorderly. Come back on a clear, dry day in February and you'll have the prom to yourself. Thanks for sharing.

[@cheatman05]

this video is definitelity one of your bests, I smiled all the way through watching you having fun!

[@jamesnursawtrials]

Such smooth riding

[@bigphil1987blackpool]

Moon rocks ... Miss my old giant team trials riding there all day with cap and few other of the locals good times

[@BikingwithJP]

How do you only have 100k subs!? Your vids are amazing, keep it up!

[@Ali_Clarkson]

Because I don’t do all the usual promotion shouty stuff you’re supposed to do if you’re a youtuber haha

[@YuraBotanick]

One of the most beautiful videos! Impeccable riding technique combined with ideal places give such an impressive effect! Good luck Ali!
