360 stays could be a little tight, too... What frame do you have at the moment?

24"s shouldn't go over the 1040 mark, ever

Nice day, much fun Did my over-bars-superman translate well to film in the end? I will get that 180 out of the stairset near London Bridge next time, it's haunting me.

And the pleasure is all over their faces.

Might come out.

Think it must be a design change (if you can call it that? it's pretty minimal ) as Joel's new Massey Ferguson number has it huge like that too.

Definitely worth a stop on the ... . -.-. .-. . - / .-. --- .- -.. - .-. .. .--.

It's because they charge £16 for a beer, the bastards. But seriously, i don't get it - Norway is the best country in the world, why bomb it?

Saw Bridesmaids today, actually pretty funny.

Take it you've ridden "real" trials before? Getting all that dialled in first will help a lot. The moves most streety things seem to come out of are, as said, manuals, bunnyhops and 180s (which you can turn into 360s with practice and spinning a bit faster). Just get out and play really, see what you can do and watch videos for indpiration. Obviously there's Danny Mac, Ali C and co but i find most inspiration from people like Joel Bennett, Phil Feeney, Mark W of this parish, Ben Rowlands, Boon and Rowan. All got a nice creative style and definitely gives you a few ideas! As for manuals, concentrate on finding your balance point. Intentionally loop out a few times and you'll get to feel where the bike will sit comfortably and where it's gonna throw you off - just remember to be ready to step off the back! Get your weight right over the back wheel and you effectively sit into it, getting your arse right down low. Imagine leaning back and sitting down in a chair, you're doing that motion just without letting go of the bars. Arms straight, and use your legs control it. One thing that really helped me was consciously forcing yourself not to give up, i always used to get scared and pull my back brake mid-manual, but instead of that, i now think to myself "bend your legs!" and it'll bring the front end down and carry on rolling. Trya nd keep the front wheel quite low too, if you want to manual brakeless, it's a lot easier to control and helps you progress onto bunnyhopping from a manual, using the preload you've got going on to give you the pop but not being so high you come off the back of it. That's another thing actually, try doing a bunnyhop to rear wheel, but never hopping out of that first pre-loaded position, just before you would launch your body upwards. Just get out and ride, have fun and see what happens

Not too hard is it? If you've used water be sure to get all the old oil out, flush it through a couple of times. On a completely different note, Snowden is such a beautiful song. Need to make a video to that when i've got enough clips together...

I think you can gap further than me, how depressing. You're a lot better than the last one, edit out all the bits where you put your feet down or whatever for the next one though! The sidehop onto the narrow wall was cool.

Tempted to lose a tooth from the back after thinking about this at work...

One for t'slegz. Liked that lots, forgot how insanely hot that day was! Mental.

22:17 was nice on my old 609, quite light but still enough for some speed. Running 20:15 on the new one which is equally good, does everything pretty nicely.

right hand left eye, but then again i'm a bit special.

I'm usually kind of indifferent with your barrow vids recently ('cos it's all you ever ride now ) but i really really really really really really really really really liked that and was smiling the whole way through it. Major like!

Oh you But yeah, 24" is all that matters and for that i'm a total Leeson fanboy. Steel frames made in someone's shed are the way to go.

Liked that mate, gotta agree with Nick though! In time i'm sure you'll get your own style, was still some wicked riding. Put some proper trials in the next vid, mix it up a bit.

At least hit it properly!! Low down and straight with it all kept steady. Mr Burlybox, you deserve a rep point for your sig.

Team noob assemble! Had an old Fender Squier given to me when i was about 12 (literally) which i hadn't really played much 'til the begginning of this year, and just got a Dean semi acoustic number from Mr Rainbird. Will whack some pictures up tomorrow now there's something other than crazy nice gear worth a million pounds in here Learning is good, hugely enjoying myself!

You beast Kyle!

Nah, back on the Leeson 'cos the Goodboy was shit.

OI! I'll ride, but as said - it's usually alone. Me and Lukas Mcneal ride friday nights when i'm not working, i would do saturdays too but no-ones ever around so London's usually on the cards.

Two from songs i tend to live my life by when things aren't going quite right. "Sometimes you might find you feel a little like you're on the wrong side of life, when there's no light but it it's gonna turn around sometime so nevermind" And "Don't worry, even if things end up a bit too heavy we'll all float on alright"
