  1. well said alex, lol oh yeah middleburns on a mod aint such a new thing, my midds came from beau's mod
  2. i'll be there good luck on those last exams luke ben g
  3. thats fookin awesome, is that basicly a crescent illions?
  4. apparently they stopped production because to many peeps were slagging them off
  5. if its new an buggered take it back, also if its new ys it water bled because as new they come bled with magura blood.
  6. looks very factory like, v nice
  7. first was a kona hahanna as trialsy as poss 12 years ago, first proper trials bike was my rocket, that was a lush bike
  8. nice but a black seat would look much better
  9. montys are more expensive, if u do comps get trial shoes like try-all viz ribo etc, if u do street i wouldnt bother get sum dcs globes etnies vans etc
  10. giants good to, short an very flickable
  11. python hands down, there aint no contest really
  12. get yourself to your local halfords an grab a copy of tricks an stunts by martyn ashton an martin hawyes, alternatively go on you tube put in ryan leech an look at the individual teachin vids (tricks an stunts all you need to get started on basic techniques an a bit of a laff too
  13. QUOTE(J-B @ Jun 1 2007, 02:42 PM) ←I meant unreleased.u should hav said that in your 1st post, probably no unreleased to be honest
  14. i started riding trials because i saw ashton an hawzie on record breakers an i loved the amount of control they had over there bikes, got me hooked instantly
  15. but arent u scared of gapping to back wheel which is even harder??? obviously wasnt an avid ultimate v or xtr lol, good idea to wear a helmet
  16. tell that to little man ian cooper (used to ride for raleigh) he was a beast but def not tall get a mod then or a lighter/shorter stock u shouldnt go to completely straight arms (damages your elbows), your elbows should stay slightly bent, this also keeps tensio in the muscle and prevents a rest period which means the muscle groups get less of an intense workout and pace wise about 1-2 secs down and 1 sec up should be about right
  17. i find on a longer frame you get just a split second more time on some moves (which helps me now that im abit older/slower than what i was years ago when i started lol), that extra time helps an i feel more comfy on a longer frame (not cramped like i would do on a short frame like my old giant), its also a better feel on natural i think, but either way bikes now are so much better geo wise than what they were 12 years ago that most people could get away with any frame. most modern short frames would have been long 12 years ago
  18. go to youtube's site an search there for: CLS the end from that you should find more
  19. giant all the way, very very reliable frames an great for beginners
  20. my m8 sprayed his levelboss matte black an he's putting gold rims, bars an headset, looks good, but i reckon maybe go purple stickers, rims, bars, headset and leave the frame polished, would look mint an unique for a koxx
  21. i think you'll find that your koxx frame is 1 of the longest there is, so a monty will be extremely short for you, i'd think yuo'd be better of saving up for a zhi or zoo! bit longer (probably about the same as your koxx)
  22. if your european then y not, but otherwise dont bother, an think about this you wont be able to stop so good if your using your weaker hand!!! just ride more an you'll get used to it as it is
