No-Clips Bmx Racing straight outta Bournemouth

[crazyhiho]

as long as you can jump and all that shit without clips, theres no reason to boycott them... they will improve your performance and if you adjust them properly, are alot safer then flats ever could be.

i personally slipped more then enough pedals to say "fuck flats" and ive been riding clips for the last 9 years without looking back, they are faster, and will improve your game.

[stevietaraya]

@trouble575 You know you can run WITHOUT cleats? dumb ass.

[MetricHotrodsdotcom]

The no-clip thing is just for people who get smoked by clipped in riders. if you were beating them, you would not be bitching. newsflash: they arent beating you because their feet are hooked to their pedals. they are beating you because they are faster.

[theUNYTEDone]

i practice on flats so that clips are that much faster for me in the race.

I was around the sport when clips first started being used...and it just raised the bar that much in racing.

just like how pegs are frowned on at the track...no big, guys. relax.

[dannyfag1]

I rode all my life clipless but all my mates who now mountain bike clipped in so i thought id try it. To be honest i quite like it now and iv just bought an om flier to race on and yes iv now stuck the spuds on it. Does it make you faster etc, well the world no1 Dher on the mtb circuit Sam hill wins on flats so i guess its just what you prefer to ride...

[Hackfilms1]

for shiz no clips flats all the way

[royalrestroom]

i love my clips i have them on all 4 of my bikes...2 of which are purpose built race bikes that never see the street...i catch myself trying to pull up on my pedal everytime i ride without my clips...they offer me more bike control and a way better gate...if you dont like them dont ride them but why do you have to try and turn other people off of using them?of course your probably goin to be stuck to your bike when you hit the ground but the pros outweigh the cons bigtime

[Theavalanch1]

look i use flats for quite some time and i got tierd of getting scars and bleeding all the time from them and i use to slip everyrace and not make the main a month later i get clips got my first 1st place was able to jump way higher and could tailwip and there not dangerous out of every crash i feel no bigger pain cause i have them on and i have way more bike control so dont ban them just cause u think there dangerous and ruin the sport btw why would they have clip shoes if they dont own clips??

[3manbandnful]

mike day 2008 olympics silver medalist rides clipped. And as for it hard to just street ride with clips.....how lazy are you to not put on your clip shoes rather then not? i mean most of them arn't even tied. ban them? keep trying.

[FrubbJubb]

where is this track? because i am looking for a track to race on cause my other one shut down >:( fucking council.

[JuniorGOLFMAN]

whats the best type of shoe for a non clipless rider. (brands)

[mediaomodo]

right on i quited clips cause this inspired me

[Bemymemory921]

Dude, clips are cool, flats are cool.

[duncdee99]

Flats forever!

[hsksux]

Riding clipless helps a lot with form while in clips. If u race clips for a long time, you tend to lean forward to much, flats help you you keep your power over your back end

[cameron2cool]

some peep look like they have clippss

[SamRobeyss]

i dont get wats so bad about clips i like um there fun duhhh

[SETRULE]

Educate me on this..... , i was a racer who raced for all of 6 years ....... do mean like road bike clips and shoes?? I could not imagine ever doing anything like that back in 83' - 89' .... Explain ??

[dermiester1]

lol no one will ban clips. i have only been raceing for 3 years. and my first 2 years i had flats. which was ok at the time but since i went to clips for this year i have been feeling like i have been going so much faster and that i have so much more control of my bike . clips are good for racing. flats are for street and trail.

[Riavyn810]

Half the people that post on this video are idiots.

Pros: Clips help you get more power out of your pedals. You do have more bike control clipped in.

Cons: You end up with kids that can't ride for shit without clips and end up not developing skills properly. People/kids get clips before they can balance in the gate and manual properly and end up falling.

[Ziggy89legalizeit]

so true.

i started racing when i was 12, and didnt get clips till i was like 16 or some shit lol. you need to learn the basics and master them before you get into clips.

[qualia420]

Clips= Hip trauma.

Replacements. Just think about it.

crash clipped in at less than 5 k and you may end up.

Ask a doctor whats in store for your lifetime.

Crack a hip... F that s.h.T.

[trouble575]

If you look closely at the pics about half of em are wearing clip shoes

for example watch closely at about 0:33 those are the Shimano clip shoes

and again at 0:44 same shoes

if you are posting a video with a bunch of guys that wanna ban clips make sure they aren't clearly wearing clips in the video

maybe they wanna ban em cuz they keep fallen over on the gate on eachother lol

[logcam21]

well i havethe shimano shoes and you can wear them with regular pedals

[zookamedia]

they didnt have any other thing to ride in,but i can assure you that there pedals were flats as you couldnt ride in the series with clips,especially as the organisers are all anti-clip..peace ...: )

[bftkp976431]

how cant u afford sumthin thats like 30 bucks and then i gues if u cant stand ppl that use clips u must hate almost every1 that races... and no its not a riders race when sponserships r on the line... and yes that means monney deddu . so u want to go as fast as u can.. im all for flasts when it comes to trails and street but racing is all about speed and flats dont let u go as fast

[bftkp976431]

wtf clips r the best thing ever invented since slice bread if u took them a way it would b so much harder to do almost everything..... and if ur a clip hater ur just going to keep on sucking cuz no1 is ever going 2 ban clips that would b the gayest thing ever

[mcstracer1992]

clips are the gayest thing ever.i mean without clips it puts you more in touch with the bike and its more of a riders race instead of a bikes race.some people cant afford clips like me and personally i cant stand people that use them.

[Indigozek]

Actually you are more "in touch" with the bike WITH clips because it makes you feel much more connected.

[dkbmx789]

i think they should be 2 diffrent classes

[wblwarrior10]

whats this song called?

[sh0h3n]

O.O shit love this song.... can you tell me the name? XD

[DaSkateFreak]

oooh you should push for clippless class, and clipped classes instead of a total ban

[DaSkateFreak]

have clipless races if you want, but dont ban them. clips are only dangerous if you don't know how to use them, they can actually reduce accidents when you use them WELL(think back to your clippless beginner days, feet seperating from pedals when you get jabbed at or when your jumping

[korsager]

the general belief in the bmx world is the clips makes people crash more.. but thats just rubbish.. you have so much more bike control clipped in

[itssk8life]

um what can i say you have to get used to clips my man u know practice u dont just buy a set of clips and go to a race and expect to whoop ass.

[bmxfreak004]

stay with clips no flats they are slower....clips all the way

[Charlietruepwr]

We got a Clipless race here in Australia at terry hills 13.01.09 cant wait should be good bring back old school racing foot out in the berms

[roofit]

shuld be called "ditch the video, and put up a buncha pics"!

[melbournenator]

clips r ausom

thats why almost all racers use them

u hav way more control and u get sooo much more power.

i dnt like the idea ov clipless races i rekon theyd be boring and slow

sorri clips all the way

keep racing the way it is

[chichardchan]

awesome idea guys. the only reason i use clips when i race is b/c i gain a little more power with them. but if nobody used them, then it would be who had the most pure talent, not so much pedal power. great idea

[sh1fty365]

i think thats brilliant

no clips all the way, i dont agree with them at all!

you need to spread this to other bmx clubs, im part of tiverton bmx club in Devon, maybe the next clipless races there??

[jackoboy1234567]

clips are for people who cant unwieght the bike properly.

i ride street and i havew a "WTP reason 08"..

im sorry for all the people who like clips but... clips are gay.

theere for amatuers

[k93kriss]

you ride how you feel comfortable,, if you like clips,, have clips,, if you dont like them,, dont have them,, simple as that really.

[feltbikessquirrel]

I love flats but I tend to use clips when a track is extremely bumpy or soft. Sorry.

[bmxdude073]

i hate to break it to u

but it would be very hard to ban clip pedals

i perosnaly dont like them on a bmx bike

i do some mountain bikin sometimes and i use clips

clips are retarded and can ruin your joints in your ankles

[hipwell86]

Theres nothing 'BMX' about clips...they suck and ruin the sport...the rest of the BMX world looks down on racing because of all the sketchy, clipped in, skill-less riders who just go to the gym, put their clips on and pedal fast...its boring!!

[zookamedia]

right on brother...

[Zeldafan315]

@hipwell86 You are so wrong. I admit flat pedals are much more fun to ride with, but clips enhance the sport so much. They allow you to get better gate starts, and go faster on the track. That is what racing is all about. And if you have no skills, your not going to win races.

[mcstracer1992]

i dont use clips

i dont have the money and why bother i mean that makes certain if the bike goes down while your jumping your gonna hit hard too.plus then its sorta hard to use the bike for street riding

[zookamedia]

I like your way of thinking stay clipless...

[LGG15]

some so have clips :/

[zookamedia]

some have the devils shoes as thats all they had to ride in,butthe pedals are all flat..honest..

[LGG15]

umkay xD I can't ride without clips xP So my compliments to these guys

[zookamedia]

if you ditched your clips now..in 3 months times your be a better rider,stronger and more aggressive style..ditch them now..:)
