Thanks! I began to think that you thought it was boring cause none comment on 100 thread views The riding on the bike is not the best cause it's the beginning of the season and I've been off the bike since the beginning of October. It takes a while to get all the control back that you had when you stopped last season.

It began with snowboarding in the local snowpark and as the spring came and the snow melted I went over to the bicycle.

It's a bit frustrating to watch this. A blurry fish eye with a lots of dirt on it that's some of the worst I've seen, combined with some of the best trials riding you could find on the internet. God why?!? It's like painting a Ferrari pink with a roller

Very nice! A bit to much fish-eye. Use it when up close only or where you need to see the environment.

The first part made me think that "okay, an other child with a poor cellphone camera wants to play with the big guys but can't jump higher then a 20" wheel". But damn I was wrong when I was about to close down and go to next thread the cool things kept coming. When he has grown a bit and got strength and length he has a good chance of becoming a pro! I hope to see him again.

I will not take my brakes off but I try to use them less at some sections to get the smoothness.

On a trials bike you get a lot of tension in and around the welds because they are in the edges of the geometry where the majority of the forces occurs. And they don't x-ray the welds for micro cracks that may have been a part of this. It could be fault in the material or the welding like to fast cooling. Why the crack came in that specific area it's because the rhombic shape wants to go square when you put a down force on the pedals and a counterforce on the wheel and head tube.

I think that the GU is to long for me. I do the higher side hops with it then my "24"inspired" and "20"echo lite" but I can't handle it like I do with the 20" when it comes to other things and then I do consider the higher weight and wheel size. I think that I will go for the short Pure but I would like to hear something about the Control.

I'm about to put my GU26" frame up for sale and was thinking about getting an Echo Control or Pure. The Pure is much cheaper so I think that I'll go for that one but is the Control worth the extra money? Is there a lot of differences between those frames?

Thanks a lot! Not only have I three trials bikes, I also have a Downhill bike and rides that a lot too.

It's really annoying now days. The first 2-3 times in my trial career it was fun to get attention but to day I get really tired of it and why to you got holes in your rim and bla bla. "No, smart ass what does it look like?" I may sound like an ass hole but if theres a bunch of annoying cocky kids you'll have to keep em short if you want to spend the time riding instead of baby sitting.

I know, but street and bmx riding is something I've never done so I haven't got so good at it yet. I went from simple XC riding to trials so I will be learning the street stuff with this bike.

I felt a bit like Danny Macaskill non-stop ride on everything when I rode that place with the wide stair, I'm so much looking forward to the spring and getting started riding again because I just had a few weekends with this bike when I started riding like that. But I haven't even got a chance to ride my snowboard yet so the winter can stay a few months more

Nice try, hope the frame didn't get hurt. Sometimes people take up their cellphones when I ride. One time when I only had been riding trials for ½ year a bunch of kids came up to me and asked the 100 usual questions, no filming that time but they wanted to shake my hand if I some day would be big and famous like Danny Macaskill. Most people is a bit afraid to film someone just like that and may not dare to ask if it's OK. I've seen a few kids that have taken up their phones to try to capture some jumps in secret.
