Nov 28, 2011 at 1:01


Trole Industries is a new bicycle team consisting of 3 individual riders, (Pete Trevis-Bell, Tom Miller and Pete Warner) who came together through a brand with an outlook like no others... Trole Industries ...

And together forming the Trole Industries Bike Team, born in a wider community collaborating the artists, musician, visual artists, writers and wide range of riders.

After many hours of editing resulted in an awesome edit! For the full story keep reading...

On the early hours, 5.00am to be precise, on a pleasant October morning we were out shooting our promo footage. The bliss calmness of the morning, where party people where crawling home and the city beginning to awaken for one of the final autumn days in Bournemouth.

It was a chilly day to begin with and the unseasonal warming rays of sunshine began radiating down. However no time to sunbath!

The sharp street corners meant punctures needed to be fixed....

Ghetto stair gaps constructing....
Ghetto stair gaps constructing....

...and plenty of riding.
...and plenty of riding.

In two days of hectic filming we collected 70 GB of files which constructed around 4-5 hours of footage for a crammed 10 minute promo clip!


A little about Trole Industries;

"Trole Industries Apparel was founded by likeminded people who know that you can change anything for the better if you experiment, evolve and excel. We do everything by these principles. Inspired by this attitude and the alternative subcultures we grew up with we make a difference and add the shit that's missing. Collaborations between our team of artists, riders, musicians, visual artists and writers define our culture and products by ignoring passing fads and trends."

We give the different a voice.

 Because some people don't want injury to the face. I never ride without a full face on. Neck brace because falling down a flight of stairs could cause serious neck injury...

 Riding down solid concrete steps is where you need the protection the most, asphalt will cause a hell of a lot more damage to your face than soft loam on a DH trail...

 @RigidRider
Im sorry for your "buddies" Big Grin

Obviously as many guys stated before concrete is harder than dirt so it actually make more sense to use helmet, pads etc. in urban area than in forest. Not that im saying you shoul not use them in forest. Imo You can't go wrong with extra protection.

 I don't understand why a lot of people are hating on this video. To me it seems that they've had so much FUN riding their bikes, while shooting this vid... And that's what biking is all about, isn't it? Smile

 Vid was okay, looks like you were having a great deal of fun. Not sure I can forgive the riding across the council maintained garden though, it's acts like that that hinder groups of riders being able to work with councils to provide riding spots for the masses.

 imo the bmx is the one pointless in the vid (dont get upset i ride park 90% of the time). he was just riding down the stairs as if he was a downhiller. =S i wouldve thought he'd at least grind a rail. i dunno. he just seemed out of place. In general the vid was too long for the casual riding they were doing. however it looked like they had fun. just a chill sesh with close friends.

 I think everyone gets so caught up in sponsors, and competitions and everything else, that we forget about what biking really mean's. I think this edit tells all. It doesn't matter if your shredding Whistler or if your cruising around your city, all that matters is that your having fun with your buddies, and your having moments that you can look back to and think, "i can't believe I did that"
And that's exactly what there doing in this video.

 Could this video be any more boring? 9 minutes of nothing! If you have 2 guys on full sus bikes take them to the woods to ride some trails not ride down the car park or do skids!! If whoever filmed/edited it make it half the length and more to the point it might actually be fairly decent...
Rant over.

 In that park at 2.52 and friend of mine got pooed by a squirrel while he was feeding it. Good days!

Thanks for getting this memory back.

This and the naked and famous was the only good thing about this vid. Made me listening to the whole album. Thanks

 A more original song would have been good- heard this one 2 death. I gotta be honest- I got bored, flicked to 3.30, watched the flip then turned it off.

 Wow! With all those rad tracks and trials in the UK, the best you can do with those bikes is street hucking?

That was kinda pointless, guys.

Btw, the bmxer has some serious skills!
