You sound really stoned in your intro.

Your big tricks are fucking nuts, but have you thought much about focusing on smaller, streetier things? Hops, manuals, barries, etc. Your trickbag's pretty big without them, so it's not like you need to change the way you ride or anything.

Awesome video, man!

That was really good Ben, but I agree with Smacks, needed more riding other than big bangers, and was too short! Good luck mate.

I'm in 2 minds about this and I'm honestly not trying to be a dick here. On one hand, you're obviously a sick rider. On the other, you filled your spono edit with foam tricks, resi tricks, flyouts and crashes. The first 3 have absolutely no place in an edit you're trying to get sponsored off the back off in my opinion.

I thought it was pretty good. The crashes give the impression he's not afraid to put it down which is good. Though it is nice to see what you can do. As a business who does sponsor people I'd like to see a bit more personality shine through and lose the sunnies for at least some of the video so you can actually see who you are....I mean if I saw you at a skatepark and I'd seen this vid, I wouldn't recognise you.......Damn I feel like a judge on "So You think you can Dance" or something......
On the whole though, good work and good luck!

To answer most comments, we were short of footage, so some of the stuff there we'd love to replace but we were short of time so used what we had to fill the time slot and in the end it's leaving room for progression. Also there is no foam pit tricks in there.

PS. I edited the movie.

Hey enjoyed the big tricks but would of loved to see them done over something different to resi, like over jumps etc. As Ryan said most are resi tricks, but yeah other than that good luck bud. Nice little edit.

Trying to make the deadline of today (Dartmoor sponsor comp, run by Sethius). Injury, location (closest decent skatepark is a 45 min train trip), commitments, lack of camera for a w/e, school (him yr 12, yr 11 me), shitty weather (seen in the couple flyout clips, 60km + winds), etc, etc.
What's not 'legit' about resi, if you can land and roll away of resi it's still landed is it not, how does the landing being slightly squishy not make it 'legit'? There isn't much difference between it and a soft dirt jump.
