Well you can do trials moves but you have to change the set up which is a big pain. For example I run my rear wheel slammed all the way in the drop outs. If I don't it messes up my manuels and the wheel shifts all the time when I 180. The magura mounts on the frame are designed though to be positioned with the hub in the middle of the drop outs, resulting in my slanting my slave cylinders upwards a lot reducing power dramatically. Bmx cranks are the same geo as trials cranks (165mm) and the same weight but they seem more reliable. I have had a bad experience with isis drive. I talked to adam at tarty and he says the only cranks comparable in strength are the sfkbb/echo forged which weigh more than profiles. I read everything hahaha. If it seems like a question I will reply to it. I talked to him, he said it will weigh like 6lbs and its made of cheap steel. I don't mind paying a lot as long as its what I want.

Its an endless cycle.... I never do any trials moves because no one will make me a hybrid bike, and no one will make me a hybrid bike because I don't do any trials moves. The hybrid I require is just a few really small modifications that will make a bike compatible for both. I could go into specific details of why it wont work for both, but the way the frame is built it has to be either pure trials, or pure street set up. Ill give you one example. My frame doesn't take a bash plate and I run bmx cranks and you can't get a 22t bash sproket the smallest is 23t which will ruin my chain tension. Their are several things like that.

im not gonna lie I dont tally the amount of good/bad comments I just go off memory and I probably suck and am biased towards the trials community because they help me out with advice on a lot of posts. It seems like people talk about incorperating trials moves, going higher, and riding more diverse terrian, and what not here. I can remember their being quite a few comments on that. Where as on the come up i dont think anyone discussed anything about the riding at all, all they talked about was how gay i look and how gay my bike looks.

yes that is correct I normally ride in those things. its very interesting read this... http://thecomeupbmx.net/videos/i-dont-know...either#comments it seems trials riders and bmxers have inversed their opinions. Last year all the bmxers were like stay with a bmx and trials riders were get a bmx, now its the other way around. I have to say though trials riders have more intelligent opinions. At least people here talk about the riding. 99% of bmxers comments are about how gay the bike looks not realizing they are riding a kids bike already.

actually im christian, finding non-satanic black metal is hard lol but their is some... I have a lot of social confidence, I never got the point of jeans, they weigh a billion pounds and restrict your movement 1000% I normally ride in pajamas. I thought a costume would contribute to the the video section this year so i sewed it. I am not a fan of sports and I don't care as much about functionality as style . In the past I tried capes and robes but they get stuck in the tire. I dress pretty normal in real life well like sweat pants/pajamas normal. this is why i need a custom frame. I need a couple small modifications to make my bike more 3d compatible. As it is I can run a streety set up or a pure trials set up. But I can't make both work at the same time. Well I can but I just need to change a few small things.

Thank you for your support! And thanks to everyone else for commenting. I didn't pick the name the dark lord I just found my vid on a random forum and thats what they called it and I thought it was funny so I use it kind of as a joke. I am very self-conscious but its fun to make videos like these. Everything was filmed in public places. When people walk by me headbanging they usually say nothing and just frown lol. When Im biking they usually comment vampire boy or ask me a bunch of questions about my bike.

This is the other video part of Antitron 4 Alright here it is! We put tons of hard work into this video and the rider almost killed him self a billion times. Enjoy! Comments are appreciated! I recommend watching it on vimeo or pinkbike. If it lags turn High def off. PINKBIKE http://www.pinkbike.com/video/98947/ VIMEO http://www.vimeo.com/6564992 YOUTUBE http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Z-wJy8vwIJ0

Alright Antitron 4 is finally done! Check it out! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ate2yNhLVUc Right now my current goal is to find someone who will build a 20" bmx/trials hybrid thing like the inspired fourplay but for 20" obviously. Next year I am going to get more into trialsy moves again as I feel this will improve my progression more. Comments are Appreciated! Enjoy! Here is my baseball card... Years ridden = 7 Years ridden jumps/freeride/whatever = 2 Years ridden trials = 2 Years ridden street = 3 broken bones in life = 0 stitches in life = 0 frames broken = 5 frames broken from actually riding = 2 age = 22 job = fast food employee (wendys) current bike = because simple short frame, all profile drivetrain, all viz everything else weight = 150 lbs height = 170cm

really? I thought biking was his job. If he marketed his riding he would easily make a living off that. Like 95% of people would find that more interesting than a pro skater or whatever other sport you see on commercials because everyone has ridden a bike so they can relate more. People are 9000 times more impressed by trials than any other sport its such a weird way to ride a bike. I would have loved to see him working at fast food as I work fast food too, it would be interesting to watch him at work and see how many customers know who he is. The difference between how we perceive him and how the world perceives him is so different. His boss probably treats him like any random number.

get a z510HX tarty sells them. They are the lightest/strongest chain out there. They are stronger than a kool chain and slightly lighter too. http://www.tartybikes.co.uk/product.php?pr...p;category_id=7

Your bike is a work of art! Did you design the colour scheme your self? Your riding is really good too I like your gap drops the most they are so smooth. Did you make that gap at 3:52?

that was one big side hop

Very controlled riding. You make riding look fun and effortless. How old is your simtra? I thought simtra stopped making frames a long time ago.

its an echo tire with no studs. An echo tire with no studs weighs 680 grams. Its a pain to saw them off though i recommend using a steak knife.

thanks but I did ride out of it heh, it broke after I landed it multiple times. I don't think the system is the problem I have run mod stems for 3 years and never snapped one except the onza which is one of the cheapest ones out there. I upgraded to the trialtech stem. Usually the only part I break is frames, which is why I want a custom frame, this whole year all I have snapped is 1 frame and that stem. My bike weighs 18.97lbs and the reduced weight dramatically improves my wrist damage problem. My because simple frame seems tough though I haven't had any problems with it but I am paranoid that it will break. Wise man helmets get really hot though, unless you but an xc one but that doesn't really give much protection.

Luckily I did make the line on film before it snapped. Full video will be done around September 10th.

I fell backwards off the bike, if its a rough landing I would have fallen forwards and my wrist would have exploded. Also i didn't underotate it by 90 degrees, maybe like 10. I guess I define rough and smooth different. I call smooth anything where u absorb it with your legs, rough with your hands. A drop is a drop no matter how you land your bike still takes 100% of the impact, so even if it felt smooth on your body your bike is still under mad stress. i sewed them my self.

Luckily I walked away fine from this crash because my body weight is always really far back when I land things. I think it is 6061 t6 which is why it broke I didn't even land rough. I have no idea why you would make a 6061 stem and if they did they have terrible ideas (onza) and are jeopardizing people's safety. I was almost done filming my video but now their will be delays. Too bad their isn't a tarty bikes in North America ugh I need to start my own company...

wow I thought the day would never come but I finally broke a stem. Ive been riding my onza stem for about a year and today it snapped at the part above the weld its strange cause usually I have no problems with stems. Anyways I think the stem was decently good but its a cheap stem so I wouldn't mind upgrading to something a bit stronger. I am looking for something with at least 35 degrees rise and between 155-175 length. The trialtech sport, and viz forged is what I have in mind at the moment, anyone have any better suggestions? I guess its hard to know what stems are stronger without building one but I mean if you are a hack, or heavy rider and have had good experience with a particular model please let me know thanks! I got the stem snap on film I will post the video eventually

I ride from my house to downtown on a daily basis. It is 20km there and 20km back. going there it is all downhill coming back its all uphill. It takes exactly 40 minutes to get there and 1 hour to get back. So provided the distance you are taking is flat ground I would say roughly an hour and 7 minutes. (the times I said were on a mod trials bike, on a stock you might be a bit faster)

are you kidding me? 75% of the moves were trials specific and could only be done on a trials bike, 20% were bmx/trials mix moves in which he is not doing them the "bmx" way he is using his front brake to do fj tailwhips and decades like danny mac so he is clearly benefiting from his bike set up, and the other 5% was pure bmx moves, in which he seems to be able to do fine on a mod. So he should get a bmx so he can't do 95% of his riding and be slightly slightly better at 5%?? So what if a bmxer did one pedal kick in a section with 35 bmx moves should they get a trials bike? Next off this is the kind of rider who is going for really hard tricks. Some people prefer easier tricks and land them clean, some people like to just push the hardest most technical trick possible. He is underrotating some spins and not clearing some gaps, but in this video I saw the biggest 270 to fufanu drop I have ever seen, and that is the first backflip probably ever done on a mod. Awesome video! Their are tons of people mixing trials/bmx moves on stock bikes, why not have some more on mods? I would love to see a 20" version of the fourplay. I would pay 2000$ for that if it existed.

I don't know everything about kings I only owned if for 3 weeks or less. Every 4-5 minutes I had to take the wheel off and tighten the cone because I ran disc brakes and the wheel was jiggling in the frame causing the brake to rub the caliper. Eventually I had to file flat points on the cone so I could tighten it with a wrench in which it stayed tight maybe a week then the wheel started jiggling again. I am just saying my experience with them. Profile and hope are much better. Engagement points don't matter so much as reliable engagement. Think of the math. If you have 72 engagements it will engage every 5 degrees. To move a driver 5 degrees its like roughly 3-4mm of distance. With 48 its 7.5 so roughly a mm more which is about 0.6 degrees extra rotation on your crankarm. What I am saying is if its around 50 or over its pretty hard to even tell if their is more.

Don't buy them for trials. With a normal freewheel you have offset pawls, so if the engagement slips you go back to the nearest offset and it engages, so 95% of the time is skips you don't even know it skips and when you do feel it its just an extra half inch in your pedal stroke. When a king slips your dead. You can pedal half a crank spin before it engages. Mechanically speaking it is a poor design for trials. Next off the axle is poor design as well. The axle will always be too loose or too tight because they are 40 years behind on technology and still use a cup and cone system. Even on a 20$ fixed hub you don't get those these days. Using a 2.5mm allen head bolt to lock a rear axle is the dumbest thing ever. Next off they are mechanically unfriendly.... as they claim... all you need to take them apart is an allen key and penknife.... well thats true except you also need a special tool to disassemble the driver... a special tool which only chris king makes and sells for a billion dollars. Who would want to take apart the driver?? I mean nobody cares about improving engagement... I had one after the third major slip I decided to never use one again... was a great decision. People will tell you you need to ride the hub for about 2 years before it engages... no thanks... I was just reading a thread on here a couple days ago about someone who broke both their wrists because their king slipped... get a hope pro 2 that is a real hub.

can you people read? I just clearly stated I made a million orders from them and never had a single mistake. I make like 3 orders a month from them they are super cheap but you need to email them to get the prices.

www.biketrialstation.com get your neon or bionic there. I have bought a trillion things from them never messed up an order. Here is the deal... they are both 6061 aluminum and virtually the exact same cost and weight. The only difference I find is the chainstays are longer on neon frames which makes them more trials oriented, where as the bionic is good if you like more spin tricks and stuff. I snapped my bionic frame and all I did was mail them a picture and they sent me a new one that day by express mail so I gotta say its one of the few companies where a warranty actually means something. Have you considered the because simple frame? Its also another good choice. They are pretty tough and really light. btw if you order a bionic frame from biketrialstation with the cost of shipping it will still be less cost than trials uk, and make a note of this TRIALS UK IS SCAMMERS there is no other way to put it, they actually have done scenarios where I paid for things and they just sent me nothing. Total bs, they are actually crooks don't buy from them at any cost.
