  1. Ridiculous . Technically challenging sections are one thing ,but some of these moves require downright courage ! Neat camerawork ,Mark in what was probably a hectic environment . Fun fact : the first time I ever saw trials riding in real life was Kenny riding a demo in Holland - without the pressure of a comp he was generally jammin' , quite an introduction to the sport to see it's foremost practitioner at the height of his athletic skill just riding for the fun of it.
  2. Really fortunate find -looks great. Nice elegant drive setup too !
  3. If someone intentionally builds a snowflake pattern as opposed to just using up overly lengthy spokes , how on earth does one even calculate spoke length ? As for the picture - an unusually short fellow ? Seems he's compensating with excessive chain,spoke and brake cable length ! Also , always a joy to see a Base TA 26 frame still rollin'
  4. That's one of the few components on a trials bike that you can trust a local bike shop to supply ,any steel jobby by a reputable manufacturer should do fine.
  5. Yeah , that gap at 4:12 is ridiculous ! Neat video,some fun lookin' spots .
  6. Really courageous commitment on some of those lines - sweet to watch ! The way you turn in midair for a landing - did you learn that from another discipline like BMX / dirtjumping ?
  7. Watching someone with that level of proficiency playing around and enjoying it is a joy . Was he throwing out a bit of flair with the one hander during a comp or was that just training ?
  8. Solo training session ? Solitary refinement !
  9. Effortless and accurate, a real pleasure to watch.
  10. A little off topic here , but even for a racer / fixie this : ...headtube must belong to a colossal frame
  11. It's hammer and sickle not cycle .For reals though there's a strong tradition of Russians going for a mechanically simple solution to complex problems sometimes to great effect ie the Kalashnikov .
  12. Immediately thought of the Koxx Vinco frames ( one for the old skoolers ) What happened to 'im by the way , still riding ?
  13. How did other mainstream manufacturer's trial bikes / frames fare on the rare occasions that actually happened ? I recall Colnago , Bianchi and of course the Giant offerings ( no , not that famous speculative blue proto ) so does Giant still offer their trial frame ? If they couldn't sustain it with their colossal organization and distribution then G.T may struggle . On the other hand , as pointed out they do have Mr.Belaey on board and it's been several years since a big bike Co. attempted this .
