Heres some clips from a few months ago when I went back home without my bike, so I rode Dallas' Megamo for an hour or so. Enjoy http://romanr.observedtrials.net/videos/short_vid.wmv

echo v pads?

yea and what other frame can you compare it to as far as cockpit length goes?

I rode rear disc for a whole season and never even touched my rotor. And the frame isn't even close to a tibo. its night and day different geo

I've had about 19 or so trials frames, 6 of those being mod. I switched to riding mod full time at the end of last season just for something different. And I personally found mod was a lot harder to ride than stock. You need so much more precision on a mod. Take off and landings need to be a lot more controlled with the small wheels. For big moves I find stock is generally a lot better. My highest sidehop is still on my heavy Megamo Equip or my old Zoo Boa. I tied that sidehop on the mod this year but I did the same sidehop on my stock bikes over 2 years ago. I just generally like the feel of riding a mod. You need more precision and you definitely can't roll over anything but they just have a fun feel to them. I really just like switching bikes constantly to keep myself motivated to ride.

Whats the deal with having events such as this or the biu worlds and not having much or any video?? Is anyone gonna be puttin out some footage from the onza event? looked pretty rad

I'm using these shoes on vp cage pedals and at first I wasn't used to the stiffer sole (coming from try all or super flimsy shoes) but after wearing them around for a week or so they are awesome! Great grip on my super worn down vps and they are comfy and seem very durable. I don't have any pedal groves in the shoes after a few months of them now. But yea I'd recommend em

Dammit I screwed up my vote. I voted yes, but I meant yes to bashguard, and NO to a bashguard free frame

whats the weight of the new echo mods?

Having a bash on a mod is the mod is the only way to go. Having to buy new cranks sucks ass and mods were designed to be used with a bashguard. Plus Echo and friends seem to have flooded the market with mods that dont' have a bashguard.

Its just kind of thrown together cuz I think editing is stupid and I couldn't get any better quality out of windows movie maker....but oh well. Thanks to Dallas Gara for filming!! http://romanr.observedtrials.net/videos/da...sdavetrials.wmv discuss...

I'm pretty sure ALL caissos are prone to breaking on the right chainstay, on that plate. I've tried one but it felt a bit short, and I really like short bikes. Must have been the bar/stem setup though because I rode my old megamo radical that I sold and it felt rad. Have fun with it until it breaks

would be cool if the frame wasn't gigantic

Awesome vid! Good to see someone was filming at worlds...

Hey what happened with the big up competition? Keita and Vince won, but where were the spanish peeps? Cesar, Dani, Benito, etc etc?

So I was pretty happy to see a world round in the uk, mainly cuz I thought there would be tons of media stuff. But I've only seen a couple short vids. Anyone got anything else comin? thanks, Dave

I am riding my Echo team short right now, and at a comp yesterday I rode my friends Xlite 26", last years red one. And its the best stock bike I've ever ridden, and all you people who say you can't get your rear disc to work, get an Avid 8". Mine worked flawlessly on my Megamo and this one worked flawlessly on the Monty.

The footage is from years past, and you've probably seen most of it. But anyways...enjoy Thanks to Roman at Observedtrials.net for hostin! http://romanr.observedtrials.net/videos/Recycled.wmv

60 CAD dollars is like 26 GBP...

These things are finally good to go. I've been running the prototypes for a while now and there were only slight changes made to the final product to add tire clearance. These things fit stock or mod, wide rim, narrow rim, whatever! This finally puts an end to shady home made adapters... Get em at TheTrialsinShop.com

Damn that is a sexy bike...looks kinda like mine...seems to have all the same parts and the picture looks like the one that I took....

My friend has a 231 with a rear disc and 26" wheel. Beautiful frame and rides well too

snapping echo team forks eh...doesn't inspire confidence while riding my echo team with echo team forks lol

Shawn is riding for TheTrialsinShop.com

I figured someone would have mentioned revell... I'll have my dual disc revell mod up and running soon
