    Any video that can make the postal service work gets extra cool points! I don't think, however, that it really went with the riding. Great riding... Great song... just maybe not together.

    Monty parts aren't really known for their durability. Some stuff is good though. Anyway, that sort of thing happens all the time in trials

    I am really glad you said that, as it gives me hope in my new equipment!

    Your girlfriend has a Python!!!!!!!!!

    HAD a Python ;)

    It's not that the snapped forks scarred me... it was the fact that they snapped when I had done nothing to them... It's not like I can even gap more than 4 feet to front wheel.

    Being that I am a broke student, I can not afford any new parts now, but my girlfriend has a python and hasn't ridden in months... so I just took her bike, did a rim grind and put my monty bars on... so it is pretty much new and the gear ratio is quite different. Why am I whining? I am such a frikin' sissy.

    I got my 221ti in March and, as a beginner, I have not been terribly hard on it. I may have only dropped it a few times, and never from any significant height. However, several days ago I went for a mellow ride and was just hopping on the flat sidewalk. I squatted down just to get a boost (not to clear a gap, mind you, but just to land back on the sidewalk) and just then, at the moment I was loaded, SNAP!!! my fork shattered ... the part inside my head tube. I came crashing to the ground along with tears, brake fluid, and shattered metal... my handlebars still in hand. There was no reason for this it seems, but now I am broken. I am just terrified that something like that is going to happen at a less opportune moment. I mean, I had prime equipment and there was no hard landing, just hopping. If I would have been on a wall, it could have spelled disaster. How do I mentally overcome the doubt in my weaponry after such a menial battle is lost? I need to hear from people who have gotten hurt due to bike malfunction but kept going anyway. Did you have the same doubts?

    I don't know where to download it... perhaps you could just search, but there was a vid posted sometime over the summer called... maybe ... cotrials24fun or something along those lines. It was not too terribly technical, but it was so well done and so much fun to watch that it was my inspirational "goto video" for weeks. I wish I remembered where I downloaded it from...

    Oh, my frikin' gosh!!

    That was a great video! The music was uber-relaxed, but was also so much fun. The riding was amazing, but the lines you did were really inspirational. I mean, I want to go riding now, but I just want to find something easy that i ride all of the time and do new things on it. thanks for that.
