Sorry, there goes my validation (

Can't post in the Buy/Sell section yet so thought i'd ask here. I really want an echo urban frame so if anyone has one for sale let me know. I presume you can't buy them new any more, but if anyone has any evidence to the contrary then also let me know. Thanks Matt

Just got the trial noir video. oh my god it is completely awesome. Chris Akrigg does tons of manuals and is one of the fastest riders ever, with a huge bmx influence, yet he still comes first and second in natural championship events. Also he is riding a mongoose, which still has a seat and is really big compared to most trials frames around at the moment. I think that different terrains call for different style/speed. I agree that street stuff does look tons better on film though. People like Chris Akrigg are helping the sport evolve through really cool videos, but still rides lots of natural. I think trials is as much about pushing boundaries as anything else.

Hi. My name is Matt. I have been riding for about a year after crossing over from dirt jumping. I live near Poole and Bournemouth but go to university in Southampton, so would love to get together with anyone riding in these areas. I have a Giant trials team at the moment but am looking to get an echo urban frame (i know they are quite old but i want to run something that still has a seat, and they look sweet in white). Would ride every day if i could but only have two riding friends. They are both my housemates at un, but one of them lives in portsmouth so at the moment i'm not getting much riding done. Anyone know any good spots near me? Thats about it bye Mat

Hi, just got a maxxis high roller on the back and it is the best tyre i have ridden yet. Think it is slightly better than the creepy crawler because it has softer rubber in the middle, so gives a bit more grip. A lot of people ride maxxis, so i think any of their tyres would be good.
