Thought you said you wern't riding anymore or something cause of injuring yourself? Looks sweet though, can see it being a very fun bike!

Hope thats of some help!

Hmm, these topics you are talking about, I would of thought you were on about the koxx's. At the end of the day, its about judgement aswell as knowledge. You look at how these XTP's are being riden then look on Tarty and there is a link to a page about K-Alone material. Is there really any surprise that these frames have cracked/snapped when you look at some of these riders video's lol. I would personally think there is 3 steriotypes accosiated with frames. Comp, Street, Both. Obviously there is nothing stopping you from riding a Comp bike on the street, but they are not manufactured to withstand the battering some riders give them, but if your smooth enough and careful you will be fine. The frames are normally manufactured to be light to give extra advantage in comps. I would personally say that the two big comp names are Koxx and Monty. Then there is street bikes, which are generally heavier and made to withstand more of a bashing. Brands which are linked with street, are normally deng (zoo, gu, czar, adament, echo). However the latest models have been aimed at the comp scene. But I haven't personally heard of any snapping or cracking? Then brands such as Ozonys, Rockman, Onza, MBK fall into both categories. Every frame is going to break at some point if it is battered since day one. Just depends how your going to treat it. Personally id go for the buy a second hand frame and then buy new components. Frames which are renown for being strong are the Echo Controls, you see these sell when there is thousands on dents on downtubes etc. Just be careful when your looking for a second hand frame, like you said you don't want to get something which is battered and nearly at the end of its life. Id personally ask for pictures of the main area's which are known to receive damage, downtube, chainstays and ask if threads are all ok. You can normally get a picture of how the bikes been ridden/looked after from the scratches/dents. Just got to remember that trials isn't a sport like say XC where you keep your bike looking really pretty. You will get dents/scratches, just need to make sure components are in top shape. 24'' frames are normally aimed at fast trials/bmx moves. As you can see in video's by riders such as Danny Mackaskill, Rowan Johns, John Shrewsbury. I'd highly recommend looking for a Echo Control, 06-07 model. Or if you were going to get a 24'' go with a Inspired, Never hear anything but good reviews about them.

Hmm I see were your coming from, but ive still got 12% body fat which is what i've always had. Because of my body, if I was to train with out having all these extra calories, I don't have any body fat to burn, meaning id either become really toned and chiseled out, but my aim is to bulk first.

Both look REALLY good! Even better in person!

Nice one mate, looks like your getting on with the echo well

I made one of those drinks, considering my blender broke, and had to use a electric wisk, it wasn't bad at all. All id recommend is using smooth penut butter haha lumpy bits at the end were quiet bad. Thing is you say drop all the C's, But they are all a good source full of calories, so it kind of works with my bulk diet.

Mine takes around 3-4 minutes to come up. Just leave it for a few min's see if it comes.

Is the sidehop based on Sam Oliver by any chance ? Koxx, Piss pot? Also, looked on your profile, your 14? Jesus thats a very good effort!

Done, well put together!

Yer, im going to try it for my bulk program. 2 table spoons of penut butter 190 cal 1 scoop of ice cream acording to this website 200 cal in no added sugar ice cream 1/2 Banana 65 cal 1 pint of milk 187 cal Bringing it to 642 cal from one drink, is nearly enough to substitute a meal in some diets ? Im just a bit unsure on the Ice cream, 200 cal seems ALOT.

Do you think this sounds worth the while, read a few reports saying its a natural protein, and its alot cheaper than buying powder! 1 scoop Ice cream 2-3 tablespoons creamy peanut butter 1 glass milk 1/2 a banana ?

True, did surprise me as well. What he is trying to do for trials as well also would look good on the company!

Orange, same colour as simpson's inspired. White wouldn't look bad though to be honest.

Looks really nice! What pads do you run? (if you plan to keep it smooth)

Looks sweet mate, is that Joe's old beast ? Ben

If the weight is like the rest of the recent koxx builds, it will be a lot lighter when Tarty build one. I remember the hyrdroxx weight changed quiet a bit. Looks really nice.

My program's worked, Since the 5th Jan, ive put on to this day 16.6lb, with the same % of body fat

I had that problem at first. Try these links: http://lh3.ggpht.com/_ChCJPDaALGg/SZRBgjzs...12/IMG_8610.JPG http://lh3.ggpht.com/_ChCJPDaALGg/SZRBiD06...12/IMG_8611.JPG http://lh5.ggpht.com/_ChCJPDaALGg/SZRBjRiL...12/IMG_8613.JPG

Looking good, welds are looking neater already!

That was amazing, easily the best video I have watched for a while. Look a lot smoother now, those swaps are so quick as well. Nice one mate !

Looks really smart that mate, hubs look just as good on a silver frame as they did on the black one! Is it Tom's old frame? Will have to ride again soon mate, got a new bike

Is the drive on the wrong side on the zoo or is there nothing on it ? Either way both look sweet!

Looks like he had really good balance and brake control. Going down some of those near vertical sections at Blackpool, I thought were going to be bail clips. Hope he sticks at it
