  1. Every time i expect their new video i keep my fingers crossed that they are working on the flow. In the last 2 minutes of the video i noticed a little change in that direction. But the rest of the video has the same problem as the previous ones. They have so much skill, but the video is in my opinion barely watchable because of the lack of flow. In my opinion, the problem is in the approach to street-trials that these guys have. They are trying to train it as if it's comp trials. It clearly doesn't work. Danny is so far ahead everyone because he rides for himself, and not for the "glory". He spent alot of time riding just doing things on the go, in a playful atmosphere if you know what i mean. That's where the flow comes from. And you can't fake that, either you have it or you don't. And don't get me wrong, I have huge repect for these guys and I admire their skill. I just think they should find their own style of riding that suits their view on trials better. I would most enjoy a video made from clips of their trial shows. Shows are where i feel their style presents itself best.
  2. That was so damn good! Huge, smooth, fun. What more can you ask for
  3. Yea, my concern was whether they make 2 types of single speed ones. The "bmx freestyle" one seems to be ok for trials then, thanks for your comments
  4. This is kind of a stupid question, but i have to be sure. I used to buy KMCs k710 kool chain in one store, and this year the chain came in a box with "bmx freestyle" written on it. Is that the same chain that people use for trials, or does KMC make 2 types of kool chains now, for bmx and mtb?
  5. Be sure to let me know if you do. There is no chance you will find us on the streets 5 riders in 4,5 million people Yep, and in the capital city Zagreb ( population=1 million) there are 2 riders
  6. Yep, in Croatia trials was most popular in 2005. Everyone was riding bikes like from this video. Today there are about 5 riders in total. Everyone is riding bmx or mtb dirt, what a shame..
  7. Awesome style! What frame is he riding?
  8. Ok, but all these examples are home made or semi home made. Is it possible that none of the trial parts companies managed to make a product that can keep the chain tight and doesn't have some annoying problem? It's not rocket science ffs
  9. I've been reading the chain tensioner topics for the last 2 hours and it's a freaking jungle of information. I've been riding the fixed ones and they are sh*t because the sprockets and the chain are never even on all parts. The spring ones always have the same freaking problems: either they lose the spring effect or the chain gets caught up in the frame around the little wheel. Please suggest me something that works, something that i can trust. I'm desperate here (i'm runing a chris king on the back so only the ones that go directly on the dropout fit, and i ride a thick KMC 710 chain so none of those tensioners for thin chains count either)
  10. Love the style! That first clip with the x-up is awesome, and the manual combinations are fun to watch! Is that a inspired? What gear ratio do you ride?

  12. Everytime i watch his videos i get the same feeling, he has a ton of skill but something is missing.. And its fluidity and style. In some of the moves he just looks like he's strugling too much. For example that part at the begining when he drops after the backflip. I'm sure that he could have pulled that combo of with allot less recovering hops if he had practised it a bit more. It just looks wrong, like his going ahead of himself on some of those moves. And he tries to do dinamic combos but hes riding is mostly static, he needs to get some speed into those tricks. Maybe he should slow down with stacking new tricks and perfect the ones he has now, build a style of riding with more speed and fluidity.. Anyway, thats just my opinion

    What the hell is that guy with the BT doing before he sidehops?!
  14. Maybe its because hes still adjusting to the new bike, but i liked him more on the 24"
