  1. Lets make a OTN subforum here in TF Or maybe just an Offtopic exOTN subforum...hehe
  2. The question is, should riders be ethically correct and accept the 5 even if the observer misses it or should they play along?
  3. Lenosky and Leech are shitting their pants!
  4. Amazing pics Adam. How did Rafal K. seemed ridding the new silver sky? Im curious because he came from the long xtp non dual disk to the silver sky, so it surprises me to see him ridding that...
  5. Is that a "G" for Giacomo? Too bad he left...
  6. Eye candy! Ill take one of each! So what's with the new freewheel? Is it just a new type of removal mechanism?
  7. We want white in DD! Or silver sky in white´s colour scheme!

    J9 - March 2009

    Hey Cam, I'm taking a good look at my pupil's improvements! I havent been able to train as much as i would like, buy hey, still hangin' in there, I'm not over yet! Keep them strong and they will for sure put OZ's name up there! Go J9!
  10. Common that's +250 grs heavier!
  11. Will this bike be HS33 only? Geo? Really like this one. Cheers
  12. I have had an XTP2 doble disc for 11 months and so far no cracks. I wasnt expecting the frame to last me so much, my last XTP (not dual disk) lasted me 8 months, however, it cracked at the downtube where it had a huge dent. I am pretty smooth, but I also do a lot of hooks and big moves that stress the bike. I have also ridden the bike a lot, remember, depending on the amount and quality of your everyday ridding is how much it will last. Geometry is another important issue. I have owned a Hydroxx before the XTP2. When i got the XTP I couldnt get a smile off my face...So easy to control, so precise on the backwheel, amazing. I even had the hydroxx at the same time, but it was so good to ride the XTP that I abandoned it...Hydroxx´s and other bikes like the ECHO have low(er) bb´s, which in my opinion, are not so good for natural. The bottom of your bike will be hitting and getting stuck in many natural ridding situation. That is the reason why Monty´s and the new SKy´s have such high BBs. They are ment for comp and natural terrain. Hope this helps....
  13. Cheers Lewis, you're welcome to come by anytime!
  14. Le, when one is THIS small breaking anything won't be an issue!
  15. Small clip I made training in our provisional trials park (it's been moved to a new location). No fancy editing and no music (sorry) and lots of street noise! http://www.vimeo.com/3513082
  16. <br /><br /><br /> Hey thats a sweet bike. What length are the cranks? I've used 165mm Tryall cranks with bash.... Tell us about the feel of the bike, I mean, do the chain stays feel too long? Does it require much effort to lift to back? I have a long chainsay mod (Prototype) and a short chain stay mod (XTP2DD) and they are comletely different. The Prototype with long chain stays and higher bb feels like it travels a lot more to get to a perfect balance, but once in balance it feels light as a feather. However, when riding natural, or when my back tire is higher than my front, it is very hard to bring to back wheel. The XTPDD with the shorter stays, and lower bb, feels a lot more crisp, it pop ups really easy and stays in back wheel at a much lower front wheel height. The bike also feels more precise when moving on the back wheel because it travel less distance with any given hop. On the long chainstay proto, however, gaps, side hops, and pedal ups are much eaiser, which makes it perfect for street...I guess this is how the white sky would feel. Which brings me to my dilema. A bike made or oriented toward street should have, at least as an option, dual disks IMOP... Cheers
  17. Same here, I think Koxx made a mistake going from fully customised bikes (that is choose rims, cranks, grips, tape, handlebar colour, pedals) to this. I would buy this bike in a blink if it was offered at least with the new ano black, silver, or white Tryall hOle rims.... I would forgive maybe the pink graphics on the frame, that being said, they should have offered the bike at least with a choice of rim and graphic colour and forget the rest....
  18. Tell us more once you've ridden it more, and post some pics of it with the grinded rims... Am I the only one who thinks this bike would be perfect but in DUAL DISKS????!!!!!!!!
  19. sorry guys the first one was set to privare, it´s online now!
  20. This one was shot this weekend, me and a couple of my friends went to ride to these nice rocks, here some of the lines... http://www.vimeo.com/2272703 This other one was made by one of my friends, includes me and Juan Gonzalo riding at night in our Trials Park... http://www.vimeo.com/2269590 Enjoy!
  21. I miss you too Lewis! hahaha You know my house is your house so come visit any time! Thnks for the vid David!
  22. Hey guys! I just wanted to show you a small vid of me riding at our local Trials park. The park is truly amazing...we have tons of concrete structures, spools, tires, rocks lots more. We filmed this vid the day we modified the sections and I have yet to film many more lines I've done since then...Enjoy! http://www.vimeo.com/2011534
