Re: What is a Trials Ninja?
So impressive to be able to do this style of riding, huge respect to all ninja riders http://forum.redlynx.com/forum/image.../icon/clap.gif

Not sure either but I think Skumbag used that term describing one of his "tougher-than-extreme" tracks back then and people just went with it...
Re: What is a Trials Ninja?
Great video and all, but i honestly think it should have been longer than 2 and half minutes, including more quality tracks and riders.
...unless of course you're planning on making more of these, no? http://forum.redlynx.com/forum/image...icon/smile.gif

At any rate it's great to see some official recognition for the ninja community. Hoping for more.
Re: What is a Trials Ninja?
There was a lot of footage from those tracks, as well as about 30 other tracks, that were on the list of things we had wanted to include, as well as runs by different riders on some of the same tracks...
All in all, I think that the video may have failed to show just how awesome you guys are at Trials riding. The whole video looks effortless and that is certainly not the case with those tracks. It seriously looks too easy. So, congrats to you guys!
We are always into ways to recognize players.

I don't see why it had to be limited to 2 and a half minute, you could just have gone ape and it would have came out just fine. Perhaps call it an introduction and then do your own version of ninja 'promos' like MagiiK has done with a series of videos on this playlist.
Since those videos are from 2012, newer tracks & runs from 2013 and 2014 is certainly a welcoming option. Replays can be picked based on a rider passing whichever obstacle/stringing sections together cleanly, to emphasize the techniques that separates ninjas from extremes (fast isn't necessary for promoting- not to the newcomers anyway).
If you're still into recognizing those riders, you could always resume the wayyy overdude speedrun/ninja run of the week series that i picked up from you guys in the first place, that is... if you guys aren't too busy making Fusion or something. http://forum.redlynx.com/forum/image.../icon/razz.gif
Re: What is a Trials Ninja?
Cool write up shifty..retribution and myself did explore this idea,and made our ninja & speedrun of the week videos just to show how technically gifted these guys are..
Im definitely up for doing something for Fusion in terms of a video series if anyone is up for it..just let me know..
Peace..http://forum.redlynx.com/forum/image.../icon/wink.gif
