No i think that when you land a gap or w/e the brakes should squeak but just hopping in place they should be silent. I use a grind hard pads and tar so mine are loud as F**k so your problem is probably that your brakes are slipping a bit as you hop. I would advise better pads or a grind or some tar. If you wheel isnt slipping and your not noticing anything other then a sound from your brakes then keep riding them though!!. Good luck!!

Dude depends on your set up. Front discs are way more expensive than vees but i think its worth the extra. My Juicy 7 feels... is lush the word in the UK

I have only been riding it around in my basement and stuff so im not doing anything big so i keep the tire pressure low for better balance on the rear. I kinda like how it feels though

Children of Decadence-Children of Bodom Reptile-Dimmu Borgir To Sirius-Gojira Blacken the Cursed Sun-Lamb of God Future Breed Machine-Meshuggah Thats about the lightest music i got for you. Should make a sweet vid though

Hey guys, I finally managed to clear the snow outta my front yard and i managed to ride the front steps. Its been almost 5 months since ive been on the bike and my rim is really messed so dont be too harsh http://video.google.ca/videoplay?docid=667...82&hl=en-CA

Yo dude your stem is mad low for that high a bb man. For Vincos frame you practically need a mod stem, my bro julian has one and his is like 135x35 or something. They take some getting used to ehh??

It was a hub skipping Good thing i wasnt even near him

Yeah dude i would advise not hitting him until he hits you first. There is no question he is in the wrong for using unreasonable force to remove you from a public place. If i were you I would go to the police and file and assault charge. Then sue for the price of your frame and back wheel and anything else he even scratch plus 2000 for pain and suffering. If you do not get the suit or the assault charge then file for a restraining order. After that really mess with him. Throw dog crap at his house or slash his tires or something. Just make sure that he knows that you are totally willing to fight back. If he hits you again hit him back HARD. Remember that if he hits you first (ie is the agressor) then you can hit him back in self defence until he hits the ground. No curbstomping. Make his life miserable. Last time someone tried to steal my bike he lost 2 teeth, Ian

DAMN!! HUGE GAP, HUGE SIDEHOP.

So what if the kid isnt a super star. I think is pretty sweet that he managed to make a freakin 24" disc man. If it didnt weight like a million pounds i think it would be sweet. I doubt the idea will ever catch but i would be cool to try one!!

Yeah thanks guys. So far i am looking at the YamahaDTXPLORER and the Alesis DM5 Pro, which i think is a little cheaper. Does anyone know the proximate conversion from pounds or euros to canadian dollars. I can get the yamaha from my local music store for like 920 after. I wanna bring that down a little if i can.

Just find a light mechanics or welders glove. I have demoed everything from the NRG to the Fox to the Nemisis Project gloves and i still say that mechanix gloves are the best. 10 bucks from Princess Auto. So that would be... 5 pounds, a thrupenny, 2 pence and some otherstuff thats really complicated. LOLS

I am looking at buying and electric drumkit for my dorm but i dont know any good site. I live in Canada and dont wanna ship too far. Any good site. I only wanna spend like 1000 bucks if possible *must be double bass drum pedal compatible* Thanks Ian

I find to start, try bunny hopping but pulling so far back that if the ledge wasnt there you would go over your ass. Its kinda similar to doing pedal gaps. When i am fully extended on my pedal gaps if there was not ledge for me to hit my rear would slip and i would be on my ass. After you ge that down try something a little higher and really jump with your legs straight up then pull the bike up into you. The part lots of people dont get the is the jump. All the people saying that to bunnyhop you pull pack then roll forward are WRONG. You pull back then jump up with your legs HARD. I can bunnyhop almost 36 inches on my street bike by just ripping it super hard with my legs. Keep at it and youll get better though its a tough skill to learn and you ARE going to end up on your ass sometime. Cheers, Ian

I think people will buy them lots.... Until they realize that they can make the same with some PVC pipe, a towel and some tape.

Yes Matt finally u get here. Im stoked to ride with you man, i wanna try your new rig too it looks sweet. Just put the order for the new wheelset through, should be here by the end o the month. PS: Validate

Ok so when I line up to do a gap or gap to front i am at an angle so that i can jump a little more sideways. The thing i am wondering is, why do i line up with my front foot towards the gap Where as I always seee Damon and Neil line up with their back foot too the gap #2 When i gap to the front wheel i always kink when i land to get the back wheel in to wheelswap. When James B and TRA kind the go to their backfoot side. (their are left foot forward so they kink to their right side) I always kink to my right side as i am right foot forward, is this just prefrence or am i doing it wrong and need to relearn. Thanks, and sorry for sounding dumb, Ian

LOLZ Yeah with 6 piston brakes the pistons extend in sequence not all at once, thats how those dh guys get thier modulation. This is not what we need for trials so we tend to stick with single, large bore pistons. IE Mono Trials ***

You guys are all dumb man. Clearly the best colour to go with blue is orange. Damn man i thought that was obvious. LOLzz

Scar symmetry is the best band in the world man. Try Lamb of God, Arch Enemy, Tool, Nevermore, Dope, Mindless Self Indulgence, In Flames and Dream Theatre are my favs. If your into heavy stuff.

Yo easy with all the hating guys, this is starting to feel like OTN. Yeah vee on the back is sweet though. Just make sure you get good pads and a nice cable (IE shadow conspiraction or Nokon) Hard pads work the best with a grind (rock blue) soft with a smooth rim (v-fly) good luck with the change Cheers Ian

Bike looks like garbage with the seat high or low. For some reason the Czar 26 looks a million times better. I really dont like the geo on the freetrials, and i hate bikes with seats

YO, he could totally make it lighter by grinding away all the rest of the dropout beyond what keeps his chain tight.

Damn bro thats a long ass cable. Really nice bike though, its really clean. How do the pitbulls ride, ive heard bad things about them??

Man I usually hate 24" bikes. But, I have too say that thats really really nice. I kinda want to try it. (Kick myself)
