Show me a bmxer who hooks, taps, static gaps, sidehops...

What happens when you listen to this guy?; This happens when you listen to that guy; Set up is quite literally perfect for me right now. The Rolls Royce stem has added about 2" to the bar height, thin grips are sweeeet, and there's finally a pivotal on there! I'm genuinely in love and riding better than ever. Not touched it since tour 'til today, good things happened...

I'm very attached to my 609. We have a pretty long romantic back story and I cans till remember the first time I rode it and told the dude I had to have it if ever he sold it. 2 years later, got the call... It's my friend, i'd definitely struggle to replace it.

It's clear, make it rougher and it'll look whaaaaaaaaaaaaaaack.

Yeah that stuff Word to the wise though, it doesn't stick at all. Fell off pretty quick.

You know those "nice idea but reality is completely different" situations? Yeah, that. Gay.

Raw frame painted with the stuff that G-Units spray their tail light lenses with. New one might get the same treatment if I ever feel like riding an artwork again

What this guy said. I used to like short and average, 'til I hooked myself up with the Roller. Now my bike dicks all over trials.

They aren't a problem, just Pete's doing the whole 360 dropout thing wrong. Look at any Leeson compared to it; The inserts are what give it all the strength.

Steel frame, tubes don't need to be huge like aluminium. I'd have got some braces in there though. Really do like the look of it actually

Fixed is a bad idea. If you see people backpedalling, they're just riding fakie. You have to turn your feet backwards because of how the freewheel/ freehub works. You don't put any power through it by doing that, it just lets the bike roll backwards.

Hi this is the weekend calling, can I speak to a Mr Mark Westlake, please?

They're gonna get crushed the first time you land something wrong. Just look at Rainbird's S-24, or anyone who's run a Leeson without (Fatpants...) Won't be any hassle for someone with a lathe to make you some, get it done before you ruin the frame on the first ride

That was awesome, the slow-mo stuff was pretty spectacular.

Why the f**k is he still doing 360 dropouts with no inserts?! Looks like it needs a seat though dude

That was huuuuuuge!

Yeah, old XC forks like Rockshox s i d s or something? You're not gonna be doing any gaps to front and I doubt you'll be throwing it at any substantial downhills runs? Edit; f**k you, swear filter.

That's fair enough. Wasn't expecting it to be anything "proper" trials-y. As said, just keep the travel short with some lock-out on it and try and get something light. I can imagine you'd be riding it with the travel right down onw hatever you get or it's just gonna be so weird to ride. Stick some gears on the back and something larger up front and it should be possible, I rode pretty basic trials on my Saracen X-Cell for a while. It worked alright I guess. Thought about a fairly low-slung hardtail with some decent brakes?

Just sayin' dude, there's a reason we use rigids. The novelty of Sam's Fourplay with a soft front end wore off pretty quickly. What's your plan for something 'more versatile' then? If taking an interest in what you're doing is allowed in here, anyway.

Shorter higher stem will make it awesome

Just don't.

As we thought, then

It's gonna be reeeeeeeeeeally broken if it ever gets replaced Have a genuine deep-seated love for this thing, despite it's faults and weird little quirks. It's my friend.

Upon seeing you'd posted; But then I was like;
