The DJ Memorial Ride returns to Portsmouth – a tradition that’s brought trials riders and street riders together for decades. Wrong stunts, right people. Crashes, laughs, sends and a whole community on two wheels.
Captured on May 11th 2025, this isn’t just a ride – it’s a ritual. Riders from across the UK come together to remember DJ, send questionable lines, attempt the wrong tricks and somehow roll away smiling.
No pressure. No rules. Just bikes, mates and mayhem.
A day of chaos, respect and connection – exactly how DJ would have wanted it.

Some insane riding this group ride went crazy
2 videos in 2 days! We are truely blessed, thank you everyone involved! Such an amazing display of skills by everyone, it was a pleasure to watch and learn from!
Shout out to another Shin Digger too, Mr Charlie Rolls, World Champion!
16:32 just wow! Shoulders of steel 😂🤣
Everyone’s reaction says it all!
Great ride guys!
I now thoroughly miss Portsmouth
That got me so psyched I’m going to come out of retirement
Love to watch your horde of friendly guys meet up, have fun together and ride at such a level.
you guys keeping my dream alive, curse herniated discs. Only joy i get from Trials or any type of physical bike riding is to watch others crushing it
Burton smashed it
All about that pier pressure!
Euan and Drei were really on one that day! The bunny hop switch on the rail, down to front and then Drei’s gap at the end!!! Sad to have missed this one!
i'm so keen to ride spot at 6:00
I was big in to trials when DJ passed, I remember reading about it on Trials Forum.
It's great to see the guy still being remembered today, by people that knew him and people that only learned about him in recent years.
Bravo.
HOT DAMN!
It’s a strange thing I was riding trials all these same spots over 22 years ago
