  1. Basically I ride a 24" inspired all year round and Echo Lite in summer, and it's a real pain in the ass to reteach myself from bunny hops to pedal ups every time I switch. Both let me get up about a meter, but of course the choice depends on what kind of trials you ride, right? It's always good to master both though, just to be confident.
  2. Thanks guys, you've been a good help! Just a final clarification, how many do you think you need to land in a row to be able to jump off the bike and yell proudly, "I nailed that f***ing trick!" If 4 is enough, then well I got it today for the first time. Had threes yesterday but... just to make sure, you know So, should I work on it for another week or so to get it perfect, or can I go on to variations like footjam ds whip drop or something? (Really excited to get to the good bit of streety stuff, can't wait to break some more bones )
  3. Hi people, I ride street trials at the moment, but on Echo Lite, and I've been learning this trick, ds footjam tailwhip, for a couple of days now. I can't quite do it because i either under rotate the tail, or myself. Do any of you streeters have any good tips for it? All advice appreciated!
  4. Damnit, why do I have to have this stupid IGCSE exam on May 24th?!!
  5. Thanks everyone The bike was completely new when I got it, and as of now there don't seem to be any seen damages to it. Of course when the spores broke it went a bit crooked, but I've just taken the bike back from the shop and everything seems to be ok right now. And sorry, my fault, of course I meant Jack... should have been thinking of something else at that moment. My appologies
  6. Should probably do it... I'm really bad at all this technical stuff anyways
  7. For the past couple of days I've been concentrating on gap-to-fronts and up-to-fronts, and today I noticed I have 3 broken spokes on the disc side of the front wheel. The broken spokes are circled in red, and one of them has also damaged the hub a bit (circled in blue). And by the way, it is the second time this happens in about a month. I have standard spokes that go on Echo Lite mod. Is that normal? If not, what's wrong and can I do something about it? And if it might be significant, I twisted the bars forward "à la" John Carthy... Thanks for the help, Theo
  8. Make trials a more popular sport than it is now, that is. Not easy, though, I'm guessing
  9. I guess I've seen al of these and some more, too. But it's kind of hard to learn with just watching how they do stuff and no explanation/tutorials etc.
  10. Brakeless is so much fun!

  11. Hi guys, Tried out riding brakeless in the backyard tonight (without taking the brakes off yet, just not using them), and I really loved it! I guess I'll be getting a separate mod so that I can ride both with and without breaks and not wasting a lot of time on changing the setup. Does anyone have any tips or advice on what bike to get (a complete probably) and on the setup such as tyre pressure etc? Thanks in advance, Theo
