  2. What Do You Want To See In Next Gen Trials Frames?

    in Trials Chat

    Posted

    rear suspension shocks!

    like on that video... although to be honest it is a lot of extra weight

    it would be good if frames didn't need special things to be bought, e.g mag mounts- should come with the 4-bolt clamps, and no internal headsets, cus i'm gna have to fork out another 25quid for clamos and 60 for a headset for my t-rex... and i'm tight, really.

  8. What Rims?

    in Trials Chat

    Posted

    After reading the echo 06 rim topic, and seeing the pictures i'm a bit skeptical of echo rims.

    What rims do people recommend? because it's my intention to get some proper trials wheels built.

    So far i've looked at echo 07's, and try-alls.

    I'm looking mostly at strength, obviously, because the stronger, the less need to replace!

    But i'd also like to make my bike look nice. If i were to buy try-alls, it would be a red one on the front, and mirror on the back, of a t-rex =)

    and echo 07's, red and gold.

    Anyway, try-alls or echo 07's? or even another brand?

    Thanks

  11. Trials: Dying Sport?

    in Trials Chat

    Wow, the amount of posts already is immense!

    Well, it's not me who thinks its dying, be sure of that.

    I think that, like most activities nwadays its evolving, as people have said, new skills have emerged and slowly the term 'trials fundamental' has gone from meaning good balance and getting up stuff to stuff like pedalkicks, backwheel moves and even front-wheel moves

    Trials i think is the best type of bike sport because, yes it takes a long time to learn (and I'm only slightly on the way) but the reward is true mastery of your bike. Adrenalin sports like downhill teach people how to hurtle down the side of mountains without dying (much), which is a rush, because I've tried it. But who could say that being able to turn any object in town or countryside into something to use is not both cool and a credit to the rider?

    I think my mate may have only been saying it's dying because of the sheer outnumbering of trials riders to other bike sports, particularly bmx and downhill. In fact, i know someone myself who defected to bmx, and i'm trying to turn him back =)

    Long live trials (Y)

  12. Trials: Dying Sport?

    my mate described trials as a dying sport... perhaps its because younger generations are more into sports that give them adrenaline rushes

    or maybe its because trials takes such a long time to master?

    What do you guys reckon?

  14. The Best Uk City For Riding?

    no-one recommends notts!

    notts is great for trials, a lot of stuff to do near the middle of town, but some of the best spots are further out

    Good spots include:

    > new market square! a godsend for trials, especially if you're relatively new (watch the pretend pigs (community support officers lol))

    > Notts trent uni: 2nd best place in centre of town, northish from the market square

    > Curry's: Outside curry's in the retail park are a number of squares to hop between, and a 2ft-ish ledge

    > Notts Uni: called 'Uni' by most, there is EVERYTHING here, so long as you can find it. Watch out for the security though (ah, the memories, lol)

    Plus, I recommend notts because I'm too lazy to ride further away, and no-one with a car rides trials, and vice versa. =)
