Some of the stuff on there you wouldnt even think about.
Like the sidehop onto a moveing gate.Amazing.

Just abit of help.
I think you will find more people to ride with around where you live if you make a topic called "Any riders round the Bristol area"
Then you will find people, then you can organise a ride some where.

Keep looking on ebay.
I would look out for a Onza T-bird.
A brilliant bike to start on and learn the simple skills.
On ebay you can find them for abit over £100 try not to get a 2007 as the brakes are not as good and in my apinion doesnt look as nice.
Not the light'ist bike you can get but its worth it for the money and the one thing i think you need for when you are starting is a stronge bike and the Onza T-bird defently is.
I had one for about a year and the only thing i broke was the pipe that holds the brake fluid (Forgot what you call it).
I dont think this topic will be closed because your not asking for some one on here to sell you one.
your just asking if people no where you can get them cheap.
Good luck

I'm not sure what i think about this yet.
The hump is very different.
But not in a bad way, but all so not in a good way.
I think it must feal very wierd to ride.
But we will have to wait till next season to see what people think.
One thing is for sure i think it is alot stronger than the 2007's.

The thing i know is that Trialsman sells Armourdillo's and that they are very popular !
I use them too and they are perfect !
I highy recommend them !
Yh thats what i use there very good.
But get one soon trialsman is the only place you will get (If they still have them in stock) as they are not made any more.
Trialsman get on there quik.

I dont think i hate any bike.
Just wondering why most of the bikes being said are sort of quite cheap ones (A no there not all cheap but most are)
A bike is a bike of course we all want bikes that are top of the range and look the nice'ist.
I have koxx xtp 2 quite a top of the range bike but i love the onza T-birds they are a brilliant bike to learn on.

My first bike was a Onza T-bird from ebay second hand nearly brand new and i got that for £120 .
So i would say just keep looking on ebay for a bike you like the look of and for the amout of money you can afford.
Good luck.

In my opinion its defently Natural.
With street all walls are the same and there is only realy side hops and gaps as for natural ever rock is a different shape and there are so many ways of gettin up them, i allso feal natural is alot more skill full as there is never a good take off there are allways little rocks that catch you out as with street it a nice smooth take off.
Natural is the best.

Are you just hopping on the spot or are you hopping forward ?
Im not sure what you call it if your just hopping on the spot but if your going forward there are thew names for it.
I dont think it realy has a proper name but some names people call it are -
Peddle Kick
Learch
and ive herd someone call it a cherry hop.
Now to get more hops.
If your hoping on the spot it is alot harder 2 do more because you can loose your balnace easyer.
As if your hoping on the spoy but you feel your peddle is to close to your knees (I find that when im hoping with out peddle kicking my peddles seem to go back gettin closer 2 my knees witch makes you lean back more) you can kick your feet forward regaining your body position (And balance) from leaning rite back.
If you can not Peddle kick i would say learn that as soon as you can.
I learnt it by having both wheels on the spot and try and get your backwheel to where your front wheel was (Bringing your front wheel to the air and then just let it go down again) you do that by kicking on your peddle and letting go of your back brake at the same time. Keep doing that until you feal comftable with it i found the whole letting go of back brake and kicking very hard to get used to.
So once you feel comftable, try and do it again but this time already be on your backwheel instead of having both wheels on the floor.So go up onto your backwheel do one hop and the kick.
You wont do it first time it does take some time getting used to it but once you can do it, it feals so easy.
Good luck hope i have helped.

the bike fell down a nice sized hole easily 8 feet
8 feet and only a thew scratches on the forks.
Thats lucky.

Never seen it in my life and with it having no stickers or sign of name i think it might be home made.
All so it might be the picture but it looks very small to me.

Hey Hey Everyone!
Right straight to the point. I think that you can get some good grips and you can get very poor grips.
Monty Foam and Rubber's are just poor i think dmr grips are all pathetic.
But... Try all rubber are the bomb.
I want to read your views on grips and the best ones and the worst ones!
Much Loving Josh
I totaly agree with you.
I can't say i have used the Monty foam grips but i have herd that there not the best.

I think it depends what your money range is.
If you can afford a realy good bike for sort of over £1000 then go for it, you get for what you pay for.
Ive just got a koxx xtp 2 hosel and i love it .Its a lot of money but belive me its worth every penny.
Another gd thing about the xtp 2's and u might be able to do this with some other Koxx's but am not sure, is that you can sort of design your own bike with the xtp 2 u have a choice of the normal frame or a hosel frame and then you have a choice of what colour rims you want for no extra charge.
For these have a look at Trialsman
If you want a bike abit cheaper just to learn on and not be botherd if u get scratches on it (Remember its a trials bike every one gets scratches on it) i would say go for a Onza i started on a Onza T-bird and found it a very good bike to learn the basic skills.I all so no people like the T-Pros to learn on.
For these i would recomend Airevalleycycles
Good luck
