Hi all, I'm kyle. I got back into trials a year or so ago, I learnt back in the late ninties after watching tricks and stunts! Got pretty good gave up at 16 though.

Now have two kids got interested again after watching danny macaskill video. Going to start teaching my son when he's a couple of years older so want to get good again for that and for my own satisfaction!

Hello to all!

My name is Roger, Taiwanese, raised in Canada, and now studying High School in an international school in China. I started riding streettrials four months back when I picked up a crappy chinese 24" bike that was up for 2000rmb, which equates to around 300 dollars. It was called something along the lines of Bionic B5R or something, not important. Nonetheless, it broke and I picked up a chinese knockoff of the inspired bikes (geometry below), called Saw, or Sawbike, or something. I enjoy riding bikes because life outside of school in China is relatively slow. Your friends live far from you, and there's lots of space. No, im not a commie.

Ridiculous wrecked first bike (Sorry, I have no other photos)

Wheels
- Front tyre: Maxxis Holy Roller 24 x 2.4"
- Rear tyre: Maxxis Holy Roller 24 x 2.4"
- Inner tyres: Kenda 24"
Brakes
- Front brake: Shimano XT - RT86 180mm Disc, Black
- Rear brake: Shimano XT - RT86 180mm Disc, Black
Geometry
- Wheelbase: 965mm

- Head angle: 74ish˚
There's no point in me listing the drivetrain, steering, and seating specs because they are literally only available on the chinese market. I haven't made any changes to the bike so far and it set me back roughly 350usd, which is pretty good for such a sturdy frame. I'm probably going to switch out the rims, and the stem for something stronger.
Tl;dr: Roger. New. Hi. China. Welcome me.

Hello All

I'm Rob, 30, from Tamworth. I'm having an early mid-life crisis and decided a trials bike was better than a convertible :D , on a more serious not I decided to get a hybrid bike for commuting last year to help me get fit, then came the road bike then the mountain bike, lately I have been getting the urge for a BMX or trials bike and the trials bike is winning. :dance:

Hi all, I'm Matt, I live in North Lincolnshire in a small village near Barton. Last had a trials bike when I was 12, Onza t master and then a Monty x hydra. Now 14 years on I've just bought myself an Onza zoot. Been out on it for a while today and it did feel very strange but I've read this is normal. Hoping to get better with some more riding.
