After talking to my girlfriend for a while about getting back into trials she went out and found me a saracen trials bike, I know it's not much but at least it gets me back out. I started on a saracen mad when I first got into trials so I'm unbelievably happy

I'm 28 and have just returned after a 7 year absence, picked up a cheap bike and started riding again I seem to remember a time when it was called "jibbing"

Try some copper grease on the back of the pads, it will take a lot of the noise away

This was the film that started it all off for me all those years ago I remember first being lent it by a friend (who never got it back) and then watching it on extreme tv on sky Epic video

Simple fact is carbon is flexy it's just the way it is trials bikes are built to be rock solid so any flex or movement is bound to worry anyone but until development moves on the simple fact is carbon will flex

If your really that worried about it swap them for alloy bars

Think it may just be the nature of the material being a weved material it will have a bit of flex it's just the way it's made I guess

Ok so I've been out of trials since my ankle operation last year and I'm slowly working my strength up. I'm rebuilding my full sus first and I'm building the wheels and want to use Alex rims DX32 bug it seems there not made anymore so what do you recommend boys?

has anyone ever made a tilt-shift video? found this and wondered if anyone had done it for trials http://www.passingloop.com/?p=1923 - video is on the page

http://tiltshiftmaker.com/ cheers mate

a while ago someone put a few pics of some natural riding and using somesort of online editor it made the picture seem really deep and made the riders look small hard to explain but can anyone help? i want the website to edit some model railway pics

add me to the list as a possibility

right ive decided my bike is too heavy and needs to go on a diet after the plymouth ride i realised it too heavy right the bike is a standard build as follows - no parts have been modified/drilled or cut spec is adamant A1 magura rear hope mini front rear echo rim atomz front zoo cranks echo sl bash trial tech chain echo forks vp pedals tryall bars and stem link - http://www.trials-forum.co.uk/index.php?showtopic=143807&st=0&p=2009932&#entry2009932 ive concidered squaring the holes in the rims and single walling the rear... good/bad? any help appreciated

lol im in one of them pics just need to wait for alex to edit the video up

dirt jam pros by marzocchi forks arnt all that bad either and last time i looked you could get a set for under £100 but if you r budget is 180 have a jook at the "dirt jumper series" as they have a little more adjustment

im up aswell and it looks nice over here but it is an hours drive away met office weather Today: Scattered showers continuing along southern coasts, but a few brighter spells are possible across parts of Gloucestershire and northeast Somerset. Feeling chilly inland, with mostly light winds becoming southeasterly. Maximum temperature 8 °C

WEATHER UPDATE looks fine but could be cloudy, slim possibility of rain cold morning with possible ice on the roads so anyone who is driving take it easy will hopefully meet you all there

you could always use the wiki "coke can bogde" to get you through till you get a new crank arm http://www.trials-forum.co.uk/wiki/Coke_Can_Trick worked for me for 6 months on my middleburns, then i got smart and went isis

looks like a factory paint job nice work

put adamant on there and i would buy one me and a mate were planning to have a few shirts printed up using the parts we had on our bikes.. e.g hope, magura, but think you may run into a few copyright and trademark problems everyone just weres try all or tarty shirts anyway unless your sponsered

dont like the bash idea can imagine it would hold up on a few good smacks on a wall, think the tabs on the frame would snap...

sometimes it the best way to ride you feel lighter and it doesnt hurt when you fail.... well not straight away...

Ideal alex nice one

sounds like its coming together and looks like a good bunch of us to ride this is gonna be big boys im bringing a camera and decent camcorder names list then.. maxxis26 (ryan) karsonlevoret (rich) Alex Dark Sprog! trialsmax04 Kieran craigjames luke Rainbird (maybe) casualjoe
