  1. Which frames were..?

    in Trials Chat

    Posted · Edited by max-t

    Of the frames I’ve owned the Adamant A1, Yaabaa 1499 and Atomz Quark 2 are worth a mention for what you’re looking for. Yaabaa was the shortest and most flexing rear end but took a beating. Adamant was middle of the two in terms of stiffness and erm… length but that thing took an absolute battering over the 4-5 years I had it so definitely the strongest and it rode very well. Over all though I’d say the Atomz topped them both, with a good set of features like the through axle, chain tensioner and construction with the stiffest rear end and it rode beautiful and looked beautiful. I got it second hand off of somebody on here, then rode it for a few years before selling it to Kyle Livesey who broke it because he is rough as 🤣If you can get one that hasn’t been abused I’d say go with that as it was a joy to own. Failing any of those a 2006 Echo control would be a good choice although it’s more like 1085 WB. Stiff as, does everything pretty well and absolutely flies up taps. One of those with a long and high stem could work as it certainly did for Bigman for a long time. Only trouble is the hassle of hanger brackets and having to make a tensioner.

    Here are some vids with said equipment.

    I used to write very low quality essays, I couldn't because I'm bad at grammar. I didn't like all these rules of writing, and I didn't understand how to do it. So I found <spamlinkhere> , which helped me solve my problem with this. Thanks to these gays, I saved a lot of time and nerves. After all, they wrote a wonderful essay for me. I recommend using this! and now I write low quality spam posts, so have been blocked from the forum

    A-Mazing!! Cheers!

    Is it just me or are the sections really weirdly laid out? There doesn't seem to be any flow or structure like in mototrials etc. The guys seem to ride over one single obstacle, ride around the section a bit on the flat then ride over another single obstacle. Just seems to lack something.

    I get you, the sections don't seem to link up, seems there made of 5 big features, that being said of those 5 features every characteristic of riding trials is put to good use, power, balance ect..

    bring back those hectic 1992 Japan itadori BIU sections, with ramps, rolling things, that was more like a game show

    Even my girlfriend noticed this and said it was shit. The events in Aalter,Val Di Sole etc were a much better viewing experience. For one they actually had coverage from inside the sections, following the rider as they progressed and showing all the close ups of the necessary precision required. That is what competition trials is all about right? So how is it beneficial for the cameraman to be perched up in a tower, with a single angle for the viewers to 'enjoy' is beyond me. Also I missed the Burton commentary, having him or someone else talk makes it a better watch. Hopefully he wont qualify at the next round and will commentate :P

    Said to myself before the bail of the final clip "fair play if he rides down that" 

    Great vid as always. Props to you for continuing to produce the goods.

    Come on mate. The last 4 or 5 times I've come on here and seen one of your topics posted I've come in for a watch and it's been removed. I Don't think I'll waste my time again and dare I say it possible other people in my situation too. People will be sick to death of it soon and may not even leave comments or feedback for you, which would be a shame as the videos you do occasionally leave up have some interesting and creative riding in them.

    Cheers Max! You still riding?..what ever happened to mine/your control frame?

    No mate, I quit 2 and a half years ago.  Think I sold it for 50 quid buddy! Probably still going strong.

    I'm quite lucky in that sense that I've never really bought any camera gear apart from my 50mm 1.2 and 5d III as my dad always had gear I could borrow. I am planning a couple of trips this year. One or both is going to be long term, to Canada again and New Zealand. The only equipment I have that I can take out is my 5d and the 50mm. I was considering purchasing a 135mm f2 and a canon 15mm fisheye f2.8 to go with it. Is that a good idea or should I get a zoom wide angle like a 17-40mm?

    Why not get something like a Tamron 24-70 2.8 ?
