  1. Zhenya Solovyov - 20”17 [Street Trial Mentality]

    in Videos

    Posted

    Just found that almost 10 years had passed since I had my last video on 20" trials bike. Building an
    'experimental' street trials bike I did not expected that I will enjoy the result so much. I won't argue
    that my riding is hardly influenced by bmx, but on this bike I can ride whatever spots or obstacles that
    I can find in my quite small city. So here is my first profile on a street trials mod. Cheers!

  4. Spring Jam 2017 [Tallinn]

    Over 10 years estonian trials riders are holding the tradition of opening a new season with a street jam. Back in the days

    this event gathered up to 80 riders. Over the years most of them gave up, but trials still ain't dead out here. We were glad to

    ride together again and had a nice jam. Cheers!

    Awesome! Most of the jibs were like "whataf@ck has just happened"..

    Liked different wallride variations and that front to back to 270 gap was the best.

    Think it would look better without the graphics on everything. Cranks, stem bars, levers etc......and that news paper wrapper on the fork, what's that about?

    I am not sure about those black and white stickers on fork, but I like graphics on the other parts.

    After smashing a rotor today I had same thoughts about all disc brakes :D

    Back in the days when I rode trials I used to f*ck up my bike in by beginning of a new season.

    This year I am glad to start with a "brand new". For a long time I had an idea building a mod that

    would have advantages of a bmx bike on the streets, but was still suitable for some trials jibs.

    I was not sure what geo and parts it should have, so build it as an experimental bike.  After testing it

    for a month I can say that I reached my goal. I can do things (on same level) that I did on a my mod bike

    9 years ago, plus I got a bike with pretty close geo to my bmx. B)

    First session on my new 20" street trials bike. I did not expected that experiment with this kind of bike will have any success, but I was wrong. It feels definitely better than my old 24" bike, may be because I used to ride on small bikes all the time. Anyway spring has came and I started working on a following video profile. Cheers!
