Hi, I've got one i got it a few minutes ago .

Hi, i tried using what you've all said and they work? thanks, jack

Thanks people I see the most commonly used phrase is "You know motorcycle trials and they will say yeah , then you say its like that but on a bicycle" but thanks to all for your cooperation. thanks, jack

Hi when you are typing the new topic look on the icons on the top of where your typing and it should say 'insert image'. hope I've helped, jack

Thanks but what if their old and they don't know anything about anything modern?

Hi, i was out today and i was going in B&Q and i saw some trials bikers outside hopping around on all the wooden pallets. I watched them for not long and went inside, when i came out, i saw the manager talking to them and heard, "what is this so called trials biking??". The trials bikers didn't know what to say, therefore resulting in the trials bikers giving the man a massive lecture on all the different things you do whilst trials biking. This made me think 'so many people ask what is trials biking/ bike trials?', and i haven't ever yet been able to answer with a proper answer apart from "its where you hop around on and off of things and do tricks (which when said people automatically assume that you mean what bmxr's do down the skate park eg; back-flips, big jumps, etc)". I would really like to be able to inform them of the whole 'trials biking scene' (as it is such a brilliant sport and i do feel that people should know about what we do) but without having to say all the different moves and tricks that we do. So what do you say to people when people ask you "what is trials biking?" and has the phrase 'trials biking / bike trials' actually got a proper meaning/description? Thanks, jack.

Hi, i don't see why everyone sees kool stops as being so 'bad'. I use them on a non-ground rim with a bit of tar and they work fabulously. Even when i didn't use tar they worked really well, but i suppose if you don't get along with them then its up to you. thanks, jack

Hi, I'm 14 (only 5&1/2ft) and i ride a 2005 pitbull, wb 1080

Cool thanks for the information ali c i didn't think we were going to get far without the advice of an actual higher ranking member. p.s have you got any tips on getting validated (for an advanced new-member) if you have can you add me on msn?? thanks, jack

Thanks for your help. and thats what i was wondering if you could get validated by seniors and others??

Hi, i was wondering is it just moderators that can validate people from new-members to members? And can i fit a 2 bolt booster on a 4 bolt mount? Thanks, jack

Hi, the best places to try them out is on curbs or pipes on the floor or something low so that if you fall off you cant damage anything. To practice try just doing front hops on level ground then front hop and while your back end it still in the air try leaning back and hop on your back wheel. Then when your 'OK' at doing them try just doing front hops on level ground then front hop and while your back end it still in the air try leaning back and hop on your back wheel but try and push your back end down and forward and pull your front end forward and up like a see-saw action, resulting in a wheel swap. Hope I've helped, jack.

That's what we all need, then everyone will be talking about it and all the kids are going to think cooooooooool i want to do that therefor more people becoming trials bikers and the best sport in the world being popular. p.s nice topic and good find. jack

Didn't take long i think that must be one of the quickest validations ever. I was gona say your well lucky but thinking about it it wasnt luck it was your perfect post keep em coming. jack

hi, it is just that i really really need some second hand 26" rigid forks with 4 bolt mounts. I was wondering what to type in to get them on ebay and websites like that.

Hi, thanks what do you call forks that are straight?

Hi, welcome to trials forum where every trials rider is welcome. Anything you need to know just ask people and im sure they will help you its got to be one of the most useful sites i know. You will get on fine as long as you follow the rules and be nice . P.s You need to be patient while waiting to be validated don't expect it as soon as your on here like some people do and start complaining and bugging every one about it when the time is right you will get spotted by a moderator. Hope you find trials forum very helpful, jack

Hi, do any of you know what the word rigid means when being put in context with a pair of forks??? thanks jack Does it mean no suspension, or straight?
