  1. Ahhh looks bad, what happened?
  2. There is a risk with riding a bike without a helmet, end of story. Trials riding is no exception.
  3. I always wear a helmet when riding!
  4. Same goes for me, they sent me the wrong mech hanger once but apologized and sent me the right one for free while letting me keep the first one
  5. You would definitely be able to do much more on a trials bike so I say go for it, look around on a couple of bikes and try them out.
  6. Nice pics Ask your parents then, it's a cheap life insurance...
  7. Do a small endo (lock front brake at very low or no speed and lean forwards a little) and then use your bike as a lever, keep leaning back when the rear wheel hits the ground and then it's just a matter of practice and getting the feel for it. This is how I learnt
  8. "Unreal" and "awesome" got new definitions because of this video
  9. I don't think it's common for riders to be able to ride with both feet forward, most riders prefer either the right or the left foot. And if you want to practise sidehopping to the right, stick with your right foot forward, I'd say
  10. The gear ratio on that thing is not optimal for trials riding I started on this one:
  11. Argh beaten to it How-to: open image on the webpage, right-click on image, select "Properties", copy what it says next to "Adress (URL)", click the button called "Insert Image" (looks like a postcard) when you create a post, paste the image URL, repeat!
  12. Google finds several products that convert QR to bolts, but it looks like it depends on what hub you have.
  13. Ow that wouldn't be too nice! I do have another front wheel from my old bike that I could use instead. It's a drilled, red Sun rim with some standard hub, would it be better for trials riding? That will put me on Vee's though, which means I'll also have to switch to my Planet X fork, hmm..
  14. Hi, I'm not the right guy to say what bike would be best for you but what are you willing to spend? Because there are lots of good bikes, that are really expensive
  15. You can buy spacers in most stores that sell tools etc
  16. That's some sick snowboard moves! Especially the backflip trick in the middle.. Impressive and biking in snow looks like fun. Fin åkning
  17. They look just like urbans but with a hole drilled through the "top tube" of the forks (as you can see in the first piccy) Identical to these.. http://www.thetrialsinshop.com/images/stee...cho_urban01.jpg Hole might be because it's made earlier than that one?
  18. Thanks, in what way are 04's better? Yah it actually makes a difference, now I've got plenty of boost ^^ Edit: Yeah seems like it's Koxx Forxx because also, Echo Urbans don't have a hole drilled through the tube
  19. Lol it wasn't me, previous owner did that
  20. Why so long front brake cable? really nice looking bike!

    Practise Video

    I'll think about that next time, thx!
  22. Thanks yeah that edgy seat tube thing sure does look bad but it's a trials bike and I'm happy with that =)
