Video: Alex Storr Tames the Slop in 'Straight Outta Wrexham'

Jan 31, 2024
by ForbiddenBike  


Nobody does it quite like Alex Storr. We’re not fully sure how he got this way. It could be the trials moto days of his youth, eating loads of Welsh cakes, or maybe the fact that he’s straight outta Wrexham. Either way, we can’t get enough of Alex doing his thing.

Alex caught up with his mate Chapter Visuals for a few days at home, riding some of his favourite trails and checking out the scenes. Grab the popcorn and enjoy that signature A.S. style.


bigquotesWhenever you get the call from Cal at Chapter Studios for another video project, you know it’s going to be blast. With the short winter days there’s no hanging about and there’s no better man for the job with Cal.

Shot over a few days with plenty of laughs, it was cool getting the chance to bring both toys - the Druid and Dreadnought. Pretty much showcasing what a good winters day riding with the crew is all about - plenty of fun whilst hitting ruts and slippy jumps. 

Enjoy!

bigquotesThere’s probably not many top EWS racers that approach a brand shoot like Al. Turning up super early in the morning full of ideas and keen to jump on the tools to make them a reality. We don’t get a lot of time to shoot these so building some bits for them is always tight, seeing Al's commitment gets me so fired up to shoot. His unique style usually leaves my jaw dropped behind the camera making pretty lacking sections look next level. Also a huge thanks to Oakley Haines and James Leech for helping on the tools and shooting this one!Callum Philpott - Chapter Studios

 This was a good edit but if there were a a few less cuts it would have been great, i'm not sure why there needs to be so many when the riding speaks for itself. It is still sick cinematography though, don't get me wrong, good job lads

 I often think about how Forbidden's (with their high pivot/long wheelbase) are often said to not very snappy/responsive/playful.

But from these side hits videos they look like the most playful bikes ever.

 The Small is actually a shorter wheelbase than most bikes - they can overlap the tire with the chainring at 0 sag since the axle path is fully rearward. If you’re shorter in stature it should be extra playful.
Anyway from what I’ve seen guys who have that skill/style make it work even if it takes time to adjust.

 these T type on 27.5 are a absolute menace. I used it 4 times and bent it in half.
this one will certainly have a similar fate in those sketchy BC trails. Those Lower cages should not cost 35% of the item price.
